SPIRITUAL DROUGHTS
Many gardeners have expressed the effects droughts (lack of water) have on their gardens. The scorching of heat and dry weather conditions make them pray and cry out for rain.
Spiritual Droughts are even more devastating especially when the soul is cracked with the scorching heat of disappointment, hurt, health issues, grief and even from our hunger for God.
These things make our spirit shrivel from lack of watering.
TODAY'S FOCUS: How's the Weather in Your Garden?
- Have you ever survived a spiritual drought?
- Are you presently in a drought now?
If you have survived, please share the experience and how you were able to get out to help someone who is going through right now. What would you advise others to do to avoid the dry weather conditions.
Those who are presently in a spiritual drought now can you can express what caused your drought or perhaps what contributed to your dry conditions?
Both groups make a list of things that:
- Keep your soul in drought
- Keep the weather conditions fair and balance in your garden.
Read Isaiah 44:1-8 and allow God's Holy Spirit to pour floods of water upon any dry ground of your garden so your seeds can grow and spring up as willows by the water courses.
God Bless and remember to Keep the Faith!

ReplyDeleteBlessings! This series is such a divine, timely outpouring of Heavenly Revelations of what DADDY wants his children to know and understand. As you mentioned, there are sooo... many things in our lives that keep our soul in drought. Some of the things I struggled with for a long time was holding in my heart hurt, anger, and unforgiveness, which left me feeling drained, dry and i drought. But thanks be to my Father through Jesus Christ I am no more bound by those chains.
Grace, love and mercy has taken hold of my heart and now I can freely share God's love with everyone I connect with and meet on a daily basis. Sowing seed of love, it the key to happiness, and that encompasses all areas of live.
