Digging in the Dry Season

You're listening to a message to go from at church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

You know, I was in the train together, of course,

with passenger and yourself this morning, and you came to

the airport to pick us up. And we're talking about

moments like this where the wind doesn't blow. You know,

the wind doesn't blow, and you feel so dry, so hot,

so down in this courage, and the wind is like

the Holy spirit line the winness, like God's help, God's miracle.

But that's when you find that you have to dig deep, deep,

and deeper still into yourself. You dig so deep but

that you actually find there are resources within that God

has placed there that you will never find if it

was not dry. You will never find if the wind

blew all the time. And I see two ways that

the fire gets fan. You know, he gets fanned with

the wind, and it gets fan also with the wood.

The wood goes in deep, right, and the wind comes

from external. There's an internal and external constantly at work.

And you know, God comes true and we find that

there's no more wood within us. You know, but when

the wind doesn't blow, it's probably probably because he knows

there's something we have to dignac for. Uh. And so

he almost feels he almost feels like he leaves us

a lot, but it's not. He's like the father near

enough but not so near that he does what we

are supposed to do ourselves, but near enough to catch

as way before. But you know, it's like, come on, son,

you can do it. And it's in those times where

we actually really mature because we go like, wow, there's

so much treasure in there, you know, like the Bible

says that this treasure is hidden in earthern vessels. Yes,

but and then of course in the same scripture and

she speaks about how we are pressed but not crushing,

so specifically prosecuted, not invaded. So actually he's talking about

he's talking about hardship. And then the same scripture treasure.

So the treasure and hardship, actually, you know, it goes

together hand in hand. So this show could go on

for at least another three more hours just hearing if

you were to break down every testimony of how when

you needed visa, God presented a pastor outside of extra

here for many years, reputable who could help you with

the visa, and why should the pastor help you or

help us act for that matter, because he's not from Ax.

And but unless Godd put on his heart, then we

of course we have Pastor Rio, who out of the

blue became our friend, you know. And I still remember

how I first heard that name. It was a cam

that was supposed to speak at and then the leaders

came to me last minute and said, passa canda. We

decided as a leadership to take this came out on

our own because God was leading us to go deeper

into our own self. And I understood it immediately, and

I said, of course, don't worry about you know, I'm okay.

But it says, oh, but I did hear that you're

going to go to Japan to start and we have

this friend Real. So what turned out to be like

I didn't get to speak at this camp, but then

actually God's plan was to introduce pas Real to us,

who has become such an amazing blessing to eggs Osaka.

And so in every juncture, Got's win was there and

ready was not there, Like when three of you, you,

your wife and your son were the only ones in

church and you were preaching sort of to the choir.

I think Michelle, you told me one time, even said

he but you did look like you were just you

look like you were preaching to a whole crowd of people,

you know. I mean that was how Triogy also used

to say, I saw three thousand people in my mind

when I was preaching, but actually there was only three hundred.

And then the leaders will come up with me. He said, Well,

you preach so loud, like it was so many people,

he said, I was not pitching to three hundred. I

was preaching to the vision I can see, you know.

So sometimes we preach to what is what we can

see with our own naked eyes. But real visionaries preached

to the vision that God has given them. I think

we need to remember that. So that's so good. And again,

if we were to go through you know, I like

like even this new courting that you're building, you know,

these people were not there, like, you know, maybe a

year ago in that sense. You know, but God just

knows when to bring them and how to encourage us.

So if there's anyone out there who's feeling discouraged down dry,

you know, just wa or the Lord trust him. Continue

to be faithful, man, continue to just do what you've

been caught to do because God knows exactly when you

need that wind, when you need a win. And if

he doesn't come true in a way that you think,

he should, dig deep, dig deep, because there is something

that He wants you to find the resources from within

that you know, when you discover it and draw it out, man,

you're going to be like totally a different person each

time you discover and treasure within you. So the revival

or the fanning of that flame is very important, but

it does come I believe through these two ways. You know,

God allowing win or allowing you to go deeper into

yourself and and just all showing up again and again.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
