i had a dream

We were on a roof top, waiting for the rain God promised.

The skies were clear, no rain clouds in sight.
Many doubted.
Yet many spoke "words of faith", seeking out clouds in the horizon.
"Those clouds would surely come here. Coz God promised. They're coming. See them drifting here?"
Does it matter if the sky is overcast?
Must we see the rain clouds before we believe?

True enough, a wift of black clouds drifted overhead.
Just a tiny sliver.The rain hasn't fallen.
"There, it's coming now! See, we knew it!"
Does it matter that there is cloud in the sky?
Is any proof required?
Some still doubted.

The rain poured down. In torrents.
It couldn't be from that little sliver of cloud alone.
It had to be more than "just rain".
We ran out, arms stretched out.
Every drop from God. We wanted more.
Stretch your arms! Get it all!
Pour down on me!
Could anyone doubt?
Some still doubted!
"It's just rain! It always rains!"

A Sheet. A Material. White. Muslin.
It floated over us.
It was proof that it was supernatural.
It hovered over me. Corner dipping.
My outstretched hand touched it. My left hand.
Did it? Did it?
I grasped again. I felt it.
I did. God meant it for me.

I grasped it, but only barely.
But i felt it, i touched it.
It was important.
It was more than enough.

Today's worship song...

Rain Down - Planet Shakers

I am falling to my knees

I need You Lord to breathe in me

My prayer is still the same

My heart is calling out Your name

Sweet anointing fill this place

I am found in Your embrace

Rain down on me

Rain down on me

Here in Your presence I am free

Pour down like rain

Come and touch me again

Lord let Your presence fall on me

I’m longing just to see

Your power and Your majesty
Sweet anointing fill this place

I am found in Your embrace

Sweet anointing

Wash me over

Sweet anointing

Wash me over (REPEAT)

What is the rain? Holy Spirit outpouring?
I searched rain on Biblegateway. 107 results...

Oh Lord, speak to me and make my ears sharp.
Let me hear and understand what you are saying.
Lead me to the right verses, speak to me in that clear voice,
direct my heart and my thoughts.

What is the rain? What of the faith exhibited do you want to teach me? What is the sheet? Why did it dip and why did You allow me to touch?

What do you want me to do Lord?
Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening.
