The Hand, The Cloud, & The Army of the Lord
Joe D. Long
During praise and worship at a Rally Call Prophetic Intercession meeting in Austin Texas, I saw in the Spirit a small dark
cloud…. This cloud was the size and shape of a man's hand… I was reminded of when Elijah, the Prophet prayed for rain…
From the birthing position he prayed… Seven times he sent his servant to the crest of the hill to look… On the seventh time he
returned and said that he saw a cloud the size of a man's hand… Quickly the prophet got up girded up his loins and ran nearly
twenty miles to the city, under the power of the Holy Spirit, outrunning the King's chariot…
As I studied this cloud, it looked like a rain cloud… There were thunderings and lightnings… But this was not the normal rain
cloud as the Prophet prayed for… This was indeed the cloud of an approaching storm… A terrible storm… This was as the
cloud of the storm of the Day of the Lord… I was reminded of the Great and Terrible Army of the Lord, spoken of in Joel…
This is as the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord, when He will utter His Voice from His Holy Habitat and His roar shall be
heard through Zion and the earth shall shake and tremble… The heavens also shall shake and the stars of heaven shall fall as
figs cast from the tree before their time… For the Holy One of Israel is aroused from His Holy Habitation and shall come forth
in His Indignation and In His Holy Wrath and shall make war in Righteousness and Justice!
As this was coming forth in my spirit I knew that this was the day of Wrath that the Holy One of Israel is bringing upon the
enemy through His Chosen Ones, the Sons of God… This is the sound of His Great Army of Intercessors that He has raised
up in these last days just before He brings in the seventh day… This coming storm is His great Army that He has raised up to
overcome all the forces of darkness, even though hell itself shall be opened and great hordes of demons and devils and all
manner of evil shall be loosed upon the earth… The forces of evil shall not overcome His great Army of Intercessors that He
has raised from among the dead… From those who were as dead in their trespasses, those who were as dead in their
formalism, those who were as dead in their lukewarmness, those who were as dead in their coldness, from those who were as
dead in their legalism… Yes from out of the great body that was called the church that had been as a dead man, He has
resurrected a remnant…
This remnant is the woman called His Church, His Bride… "The Body of Yeshua, the Anointed One,"
She has birthed His Manchild that shall go throughout the earth In His name and in His Power and In His Spirit… This
Corporate Man shall cause the earth and the heavens to shake for He will have the fullness of the Anointing of the Son of
God… Father Himself shall indwell this Corporate Man… The fierceness and countenance of this man shall be the fierceness
and countenance of the Son of Man In all His Glory!!! The Spirit and Power of Him that created the Universe will reside in this
Corporate man… Nothing, nor anyone, neither all the forces of hell shall even be a hindrance to this Manchild… Out of the
mouth of this Corporate man shall the Lion of the Tribe of Judah Roar!!!
Yes My Chosen Ones, I AM calling you even now… I have sounded the Heavenly Shofar from the Portals of Glory … In the
vision, I saw as it were, the far reaches of space… The distant galaxies… it seemed that I could see to the end of the
universe… and I saw as it were, a flash of light that was far greater than the brightest star, that came flashing across the distant
reaches of timelessness that spans the universe… This light flashed across the universe instantly… It was not confined to the
normal speed of light… Then I heard the sound of the Shofar of Almighty God, "the Father" and the sound instantly arrived on
the earth and I saw the Army of the Holy Father rising to the call of His mighty Shofar Trumpet Blast… This is the Army that is
coming with the Cloud the size of a man's hand that I saw… The rain that is coming from this cloud is the judgment rain of
Father and Son… I saw this Army upon white horses as Yeshua the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords rode at their head…
A Great Army… A Terrible Army… A Holy Army… An Army whose face was set as flint and would not be moved… This is
how He sees His Army… Though we have been taken from the jaws of hell itself… From the cesspools of vileness and from
the camp of the enemy… Though we have been retrieved from death itself… He has made us into a formidable foe to be
reckoned with… For He has put His Life in us… He has put His Spirit in us… He has trained our hands and fingers for war…
He has made us to be His Smiths, His Battle axes, His Mountain movers… He has Crowned us with His Glory… He is calling
us to rise to war… To rise in His name and in His Power and Spirit… He has put His Words in our spirit and in our mouth…
He has sounded the Shofar of War and called us to assemble in His name and take dominion of the promise that He has given
us from the time of the fall in the garden… This is His Clarion Call to His Last day Army… All of Heaven stands at the
ready… All the Great Mighty Warring Angels are poised and are even now engaging the enemy with us… They hearken to the
Word of the Father, to bring it to pass as we release it in our prophetic proclamations…
This Is His Rally Call!!! Hear the
Rally Call of the Lord! Hearken to the sound of the Shofar of God the Almighty Father! Arise from your prostration! Shake the
dust from your armor! Gird up your loins and enter into the final battle of the ages!!! He, Yeshua, Is our Leader… He is our
Lord of Breaking Through!!! He is even now Roaring through His People Zion, and His voice is shaking the earth and the
heavens… Who can stand before Him and His Army??? Who can stand the Brightness of His Glory??? Only those whom He
has washed in His Blood and cleansed with the washing of the water of His Word… Those who He has immersed into His
Spirit… These are the ones who will stand before Him for they shall be like Him and know Him as He knows them…
Yes! The sound from the cloud that is the size of a mans hand is the sound of the many membered Corporate Body of
Warriors… Rather than the sound of many waters, it is the sound of the hoofs of the horses and the trampling of the feet of the
Great Army of the Lord! It is the brightness of the Sword of the Spirit that is flashing as lightning, and the thunder is the rushing
hoof beats of the heavenly steeds, the marching of the feet of the soldiers, and the clashing and clanging of their swords, as they
engage and slaughter the enemy. Accompanying this is the war cry of the Army of God, as they cause confusion and great fear
to come upon the enemy… The war cry of the saints of God carries to the end of the universe and time!!! Never has there ever
been nor shall there ever be such a war as this war!!! This is the war of all time!!! ALL HAIL KING YESHUA!!! The
GLORIOUS ONE!!! The KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS!!! The ALPHA and the OMEGA, the BEGINNING
and the END!!! AMEN!!! SO LET IT BE!!!

Rain in the Desert!
Armando Morales
"My child, why are you fearful? You are not called to have fear or doubt,
you are called to take your place in My Kingdom as My inheritance. Remember
the days of your youth when you felt such passion and longing for Me?
Remember the days when you smiled at me because you sensed My eyes were
fixed on you. Remember the days where you did not stay down when you fell,
but grabbed me by the hand so I could pick you up and we could continue
walking together?"
"Now my promise is to prosper you my child. Did I not say the pastures
would soon be green again and the trees would be filled with luscious fruit?
Allow me to carry you through the wildnerness so you will never feel I have
passed you by."
"Through the times when you thought I was far away and felt like a lost
child without an ounce of love, know that I was there holding both your
hands in mine, whispering in your ear, "I love you more than anything my
child."
"Through the times when you were reaching out for Me in desperation, I was
there embracing you."
"Through the times you sat still with tears running down your cheeks, I was
the one Who wiped them away."
"So take your place in Me my child. Arise and rejoice in what I'm doing.
Did you not say I am in control? I am the Author and the Finisher, the
Beggining and the End. The Word I have spoken over your life shall not
return void. So rejoice and receive My joy of salvation that you have
possessed all along. I have covered and sealed you with My oil of gladness.
Again I say rejoice!"

Joyce Augenstein
Enjoy The Presense of the LORD. Allow the breath of My Spirit upon you to
fill your inner man; absorb the Life My Spirit brings.
There are changes that are coming upon the face of this earth the force of
which will cause you to be thrust into ministries that will amaze you, and
that which you receive in My Presence will be out flowing from you to
others.
Enjoy the quiet place of communion now for the times that are coming will,
of necessity, cause you to be in constant motion as My Spirit leads you to
minister to the needs of many who will not understand the portent of the
events that will be occurring.
Learn to be still and quiet in My Presence. Make room for My Voice to be
heard, for often it is in a quiet way that I speak. Let your ear be tuned
to hear My Voice. This can only be accomplished as you are willing to be
quiet and hear what I will speak to you.

I AM Preparing You
Marsha Burns
I am bringing you into places of specific effort and
focused expenditure of energy and resources. I am preparing you for your
greatest effectiveness in My kingdom and in that which is just ahead of you,
for I am doing a great work in your midst, and you must take your assigned
positions so that My purposes can be fulfilled. It is vitally important that
you be bold enough to take responsibility for the things I have given you to
do, but it is also essential that you do not overstep your boundaries in
assuming tasks that I have not given you to do. This is a time when you, My
people, must move ahead as one unit, shoulder to shoulder, with your eyes
fixed on Me and your ears attuned to My command. Distractions will bring
dissipation.

A Wave of Diamonds
Teresa Daly-Crews
During a time of prayer and intercession last night I received a
vision from the Spirit of the Lord. Along with the vision came the
word of the Lord that I must share. There have been many believers
worldwide that have been enduring great hardship, suffering, and
persecutions. Many have been taken to the point of death. This death
may have been physical or perhaps the death of a personal dream or
revelation. There has been great pressure applied to the Remnant Body
making many feel they could endure no more. This pressure has been
allowed by the hand of Father in order to perfect the spirit man of
those who have been willing to let go of everything and to obey at
all costs. These are individuals that Father calls His Jewels. He has
developed them for HIS glory and are necessary for a unique purpose
within the body of Christ. These are individuals who have overcome
great adversity and hardship and have learned to rely solely upon the
Promises of the Lord. They have learned to look beyond the temporal
and see into and out of the eyes of the Lord. They have focused upon
Him regardless of the raging sea and have even walked upon water.
There are many Jewels being prepared by the Father, but the first to
be released will be the Diamonds. Each Jewel has unique properties
and will be used by Father to prepare the Bride so that she may be
adorned in the beauty of HIS holiness. It is not the person to be
looked upon but these persons are gifts to the Body.They are strictly
tools that will be utilized to flow HIS golden oil to the nations. It
is important that we do not set on high those whom the anointing
flows through, but instead just open our cups and receive the
purifying liquid of life that will flow.
In the vision I saw a wave of Diamonds, multitudes of them flowing
together. It was a sight to behold the rolling like the wave of the
sea. I then began to understand what they were and the application
that Father has them prepared for. Diamonds are unique in their
purpose and powerful in function. The wave mounted high like a
tsunami rolling upon the world and will be unstoppable. We know
Diamonds are known for their resilience and ability to cut through
even the most difficult substances without breaking. It is also used
to polish many things. Diamonds are even used in medicine to cut with
precision to help the healing.
The most powerful force of these
diamonds will be their ability to shine the GLORY and LOVE of the
Lord and manifest it in all directions. This is the Light that will
cut through ALL darkness. There will be no longer hidden areas of
darkness. The GLORY will shine through these Diamonds with a piercing
and sharp intensity, changing everything it shines upon. The clarity
and cut of the stone has been perfected by the Masters hand and
cannot be deigned. These Diamonds have overcome the enemy by the
Blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony and have loved not
their lives unto death. Embrace these ambassadors of the Lord and
receive of the unending love they carry, for the banner of them is
LOVE!
The Garden of HIS LOVE
If you need rest our Saviour beckons you to come and lay your weary
head upon HIS breast. His meadow is lovely and Jesus walks about
bringing refreshment there. It is a place of healing and holiness.
You can hear the brook as it sends forth the living water. As you
enter through the golden gates you walk along a translucent gold
path. The mountains of the Lord are in the distance and you can smell
the breath of God every time you inhale. The grass is so soft that it
calls to you to tread upon it and the flowers never loose their shape
and form. They continually grow and send forth the most fragrant
aromas you can imagine. The purity of the garden can be compared to
no other place and when you go there you will never forget. Each
broken part of your spirit is stroked by His loving hand and He
restores your soul with each touch.
The light of GLORY that shines
around is like the angelic host of heaven surrounding you with the
fragrance of love. It is a place of rest and comfort. A place of
beauty and rejuvination. A place that has been long forgotten yet
Father is calling unto those who have an ear to come and rest, for
the journey ahead is long and hard. If you have not been restored to
power as of yet, run to HIS resting place and allow HIM to wrap HIS
loving arms around you. The power will be quickly restored and you
will stand upright, ready to do battle in your appointed season. Come
to the garden of love, reach to the mountain of peace. The invitation
is open for those who will hear, come to the garden of LOVE.
In HIS Service,
What Does the Lord Require of Thee?
Stephen Hanson
MIC 6:8 He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
1CO 12:4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. [5] There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. [6] There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
(The Lord showed me a crown at first. As I continued to look at this, I noticed that it changed. Then there was no longer a crown but a hat of some sort. It was very much like a policeman's cap of some sort. As I looked at this cap, then the cap changed form again into a fireman's hat. This process continued for a short time, as each hat would change into other forms. There was at last a helmet that resembled one that may have been used during the time of the Roman empire, and was primarily for those warriors who partook in battle.)
(Again the Lord showed me some things and this time there were several small fires burning around me on the ground. In the midst of this from the distance, came a long carpet-like scroll. Several times I looked at this and wondered what it may be. It came again and finally was held up in front of me. It was as if a light was being shone behind it, and it appeared as transparent. It was a piece of parchment, and then I watched as if to see what was written there on it. The Lord then spoke and said: "What does the Lord require of thee, but do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.")
(In the next scene He showed me various people who were at their desks or places of business working. A woman was at a desk on the phone, speaking with someone. Someone else was at their computer working.)
"In my world there are many different types of people. Some where the "hat" of a serviceman. They work for the public in protecting them. There are kings and there are princes as well. There are doctors and lawyers and other professionals. A "hat" may symbolize a particular profession. There are many, many different jobs that are done on this earth. They vary in many ways. You could say that the "hat" represents the person. Now, while this is true in the professional world, it is also true in the "world" with Me. What I mean by that is there are many different vocations in the Christian army. Remember that there are a "multitude" of different gifts and there are a "multitude" of different manifestations of these. What I would like to say though is that some are trying to where several "hats." You must wear and do the particular "hat" that I've given you to do. Lastly, it is important to Me that you do just what I've called you to do. Remember also that those who show the gift of mercy and show Me service to others are as important as anyone else. And I have written down on the tablets of many of your hearts messages and a mandate from Me. My mandate can be summed-up in these few words:
"What does the Lord require of thee, but to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God."

The Habit of Holy Thought
A.W.Tozer
What we think about when we are free to think about what we will--
that is what we are or will soon become....
Anyone who wishes to check on his true spiritual condition may do so
by noting what his voluntary thoughts have been over the last hours
or days. What has he thought about when free to think of what he
pleased? Toward what has his inner heart turned when it was free to
turn where it would? When the bird of thought was let go did it fly
out like the raven to settle upon floating carcasses or did it like
the dove circle and return again to the ark of God? Such a test is
easy to run, and if we are honest with ourselves we can discover not
only what we are but what we are going to become. We'll soon be the
sum of our voluntary thoughts....
The best way to control our thoughts is to offer the mind to God in
complete surrender. The Holy Spirit will accept it and take control
of it immediately. Then it will be relatively easy to think on
spiritual things, especially if we train our thought by long periods
of daily prayer. Long practice in the art of mental prayer (that is,
talking to God inwardly as we work or travel) will help to form the
habit of holy thought. Born After Midnight, 44,46-47.
"Oh, Lord, You know the constant struggle so many of us have with
our thought life. You know how often our thoughts do indeed settle
on rotten carcasses. Take control of my thoughts today, and move me
along in the development of the habit of holy thought. Amen."
