![]() You waste the rain when your emotions are overrun with fear, and doubt, and anxiety. ![]() When you water the wrong thoughts and the wrong suggestions, they take over your life. Pastor Furtick mistook a conversation when someone asked him “What are your thoughts” but he heard “water your thoughts”. Water your Thoughts vs What are your Thoughts Are you wasting the rain? If your thought process is programmed by the World, you cannot receive his Word.Įvery time God speaks, it comes with a purpose. Through your challenges, through people staying with you in your life. So can the Word of God speaking over my life be the most inconvenient thing? Do we associate God’s Word is just for comfort? Does it not bring forth into our lives? The Word of God is like a fire (Jeremiah 20:9) and a hammer (Jeremiah 23:29). The Word is a lamp onto my feet (Psalm 119:105). It cuts through all the clutter and the cynicism. The Word of God is like a sword: it is your weapon, but it also pierces YOU! The bible is at its best when it is dividing the bone and marrow and the soul and the spirit (Hebrews 4:12). You need God’s Word to get into your thought process: MEDITATION. Thinking you have life, but you will not know Him. You will come to the Scriptures thinking pessimistically. You will only hear God’s Word as if it’s meant for somebody else. The word of God cannot do want is meant to do if you have a jacked-up thought process. God’s word is like honey (Psalm 19:10 NIV & Psalm 119:103 NIV).įun fact: Honey is mentioned 56 times in the bible! This is how he supplies our needs!! With His Word! There is no shortage of God’s word. Down the drain! Down the pessimistic ocean! Down the pessimistic of emotions! God can be giving you 18 trillion gallons of truth this week and still be wasted because you didn’t receive it. Some of us have 18 trillion gallons of notes, of truth….but what are you doing with it?! Until they can get the supply to the place where it needs to be, there can be 18 trillion gallons of downpour and still be a drought”. It is a waste of water supply So much water in a land so concerned about drought is going down the drain. ![]() According to this article, “California’s wet winter has dumped an estimated 18 trillion gallons of rain in February alone much of it is simply going down the drain when you look at the LA river, being between 50%-70% full during a storm, you realize that more water is running down the river into the ocean than what LA would use in close to a year. Pastor Furtick references an article written in The LA Times back in February 2019 that talks about drought. God’s word will cost you your will, your thoughts, and your preferences. In order to receive God’s word, we have to forsake some of our own thoughts. ![]() God wants to speak to you, but sometimes you don’t have room to receive it. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.įirst, there has to be a forsaking before there is a filling. 7 Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. ![]() Let’s go back to Isaiah 55:6-7: 6 Seek the Lord while he may be found call on him while he is near. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Today’s Word: Isaiah 55:8-11 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. ![]()
