If you’ve lived long in a drought-stricken land, when something good happens—when water appears on the horizon—you don’t trust it. You struggle to receive it and to believe it is real or will last. This is where scarcity strongholds are erected and then vigorously defended.
But the Lord says to us: "The drought is coming to an end. And all the contradicting circumstances in our worlds cannot hold back the rain. Your doubt cannot hold it back. Your sin cannot hold it back. Your fear cannot hold it back.
This—the drought is coming to an end—is something the Father has decreed. Father is determined to bring it about and nothing, not even the gates of hell and certainly not you, can stop it.

Spinning Plates
June 11, 2017 • David Hammerslag
Our lives can become a frantic rushing from spinning plate to spinning plate. We give each enough attention to prevent a disastrous crash, then we rush off to the next plate that is in danger of falling. We make our lives more and more frantic, hoping that with this one last plate spinning in its place, we’ll be happy and satisfied. Do you ever feel like a plate spinner? We think if we can just manage to keep all the plates spinning -- make sure none of them come crashing down -- then we will be happy and contented. Yet, even when we do manage it, usually for only a very short while, we end up feeling exhausted and unfulfilled. Soon some of the plates will start to slow down and wobble, demanding our attention again. The plates become our masters. We become imprisoned by the need to keep the plates spinning. They command our attention. There's a better way. And Jesus shows it to us.
Hope and Dreams
May 7, 2017 • Graeme Sellers
What happens in a time of drought is that as hope declines, dreams contract. They get smaller and smaller and smaller until we only allow ourselves to dream things we believe are doable But when hope takes up residence in us, then hope is a dream factory. Hope is coming upon us, hope that fuels transformation and releases dreams. Even in a time of drought, Father is inviting us to dream again!
