Good Morning Sunshine! The Drought Is Over! The Water Is Coming!

Psalm 63:1-3 NKJV ~ “O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. [2] So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. [3] Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.”

I want to share two things with you today, first my experience on yesterday. And I usually don’t do repeat devotionals, but lately He has been bringing me back to some that I wrote in 2021-2022, when I first started writing the devotions. Now, of course I was like God, they are to be new every day and He said, my Word never changes, Genesis to Revelation was the same yesterday, today and it will be the same tomorrow too, it remains the same, we change and grow as we read the Word. With each new level comes new revelation of the Word, so when you read it last year you were in one place and this year you have grown, and your understanding has grown with you! I pray that you are blessed by it!

On yesterday, God was speaking through Worship! First, I received the song, “For My Good”, Maverick City; and then I got, “The Isaiah Song”, they both spoke to me and encouraged my heart, that God sees me! And then I got a devotional from a Prophetess that I follow from time to time, but on yesterday she sent me a personalized message (I’m sure everyone gets one, but I literally took it personal for me), that was the third confirmation that I got!

And I said Yes God I hear You! With each wilderness, valley or desert moment you experience, it’s pulling you closer to Your Father! He’s an intentional God, nothing is by coincidence or happenstance, He does it on purpose! You will only stay in each place for so long before God leads you to your promise land! The place where the ground has been watered and it’s ready for new seeds to be planted for your greater harvest! So, I want to encourage you today, that your season of Drought is over! The Greatest Water Supplier ever is coming to water you! I pray that you get drenched in His Anointing and that His Water and Oil will just pour out of you in a continuous flow!

Have you ever been thirsty and even the thought of water seemed like it was too good to be true and too far away? Or have you ever felt like you had been put through a wringer and every last molecule of moisture had been taken away? My soul is thirsty, dry, and weak. Oh, what you would give to have your thirst quenched and get rid of this dry thirst!

Have you ever experienced a drought in your life? Do you know how to identify it? Let me tell you how, when even the thought of a cup of water seemed like paradise to you, you have experienced a drought! You were so thirsty, and felt like you didn’t know anything, and you tried to drink something else, to quench your thirst, maybe you drunk a Coke or some juice and nothing worked, you were still thirsty, and then you had some water, and you came to yourself! This is how you know what it’s like to thirst after God, you tried everything else and nothing worked and then when you came to the end of yourself, God was there!

You see when you don’t seek after God, your soul gets dry, and if you go day after day without Him, you will enter into a drought. And the thing about a natural drought, is only water can cure it! Same thing applies to a Spiritual drought, only the Water that Jesus gives can quench your thirst! And you need to have a continuous flow of God’s Water, His Holy Spirit flowing through you! So, this is what it’s like to thirst after God! You see as Christians you will experience drought, and this is how you know what it really is like to thirst after God as your constant water supplier!

Nothing, and I mean nothing can take the place of God in your life!  So that means when nothing else will work, you are thirsty for God and His Word and nothing else will work until you drink from His Fountain, because only Jesus Christ can give you life sustaining water, where you will never be dry or parched again, (John 4:14)! O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole-body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.

You see David had it right in Psalm 63, “O God, You are my God; (he made it personal, and he knew who he was talking to, he didn’t just know of Him, he knew Him. So many knew of Him, even while walking with Him, but they still didn’t know Him! Do you know Him, have you tried Him?) Next, do you see what time he sought Him? (It was early in the morning, it wasn’t after you did this or that or whatever else you wanted) he said, early will I seek You; (Jeremiah 29:13-14)!

You see when you get really thirsty, you will stop in the middle of traffic to quench your thirst, because you want some relief immediately.) Now, what part of you is thirsty? And I’m not talking about a little parched, or an occasional dry spell in the desert, that you can endure for a minute or two! I’m talking long term; (where every part of you desires God, your soul and your flesh wants more of Him!) David said my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water “(you see you need His Water to live)! When you long for God with your soul, you can crucify your flesh, and you can deny it and destroy the war that is going on within your members; “And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Galatians 5:24)!

Only your Father can sustain you during these extreme conditions, you need God’s special provisions to make it through! You can move from parch to dry to drought on your on, you need God! And God is showing you that it’s not by your might or power, (Zechariah 4:6), you see your strength is irrelevant in this place! He is bringing you through and over the drought for two reasons, first, to highlight and infuse you with His Power and Presence and secondly, to show His Power and Presence and His Strength and His Sovereignty for all to see and He is who He says He is, “I Am That I Am! (Exodus 3:14)!

You won’t appreciate your promise land until you have crossed over the drought! Today, stand up straight, pick up your head and walk like you know who your Father is because your Drought is Over, the water is coming for the Warrior in you and your thirst has been quenched today and you don’t have to be dry, just flow freely in the Spirit and watch your Father!

God wants you to trust in His promises and faithfulness throughout the drought. Your drought was necessary for you to go deeper and to be rooted and firmly planted in God, so that when the whirlwind came, you won’t be uprooted! Droughts are normal because they are necessary. They cause your roots in Christ to grow deeper. They develop you into an authentic worship. It’s in this place that you learn how to rock under circumstances and land on in the secure arms of God!

You see your drought caused you to dig deep and be deeper in your walk with God. Your roots are growing down in the foundation laid by the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This is what canceled out your debt, the one that you could never pay off, your sins, iniquities, and transgressions! And because of the drought, you were secured in the ground and now God is raising you up into His royalty as   a part of God’s family. Today, I want you to resolve to yourself to be rooted in His Love, soaked in His Word and be filled with His Breath and be assured that you are being revitalized by His Water Supply and you will have strength, be confident and able to thrive the season after your drought is over! All of this was necessary for the Anointing of God to flow and rise up in you!

Let’s Pray:
Father, I’m so grateful! Father, I Thank You for delivering me out of this drought! Father, Thank You for infusing me with Your Presence and Power! Father, forgive me for the times that I didn’t move or go where You said, I know that I could have avoided a many of dry places that I had to visit. But I thank You for Your Mercy and Grace in my drought seasons. Thank You Father, that You didn’t let me die in those seasons, but You taught me how to survive. Father, I’m thirsty for You and Your Word, fill me up until I overflow and drown out everything that’s not important or beneficial for my life! Father I love You and I’m going to follow You for the rest of my life! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
