Dry PlacesWednesday, September 2, 2015

A ‘dry area’ in our life is any area that you lack in or an area that you are stuck in. Depression, lack of joy, fear, anxiety, and un-forgiveness are examples of areas in our life that are dry places. These dry places open the door for the enemy to come in and have a stronghold on us.

How can we open the door for the enemy to come?

1. Through our eyes. What are we watching?
2. Through our ears. What are we listening to?
3. Through our mouth. What are we saying?
4. Through our surroundings. Who are we surrounding our selves with?

We were not created to live in fear, worry, anxiety, insecurity, failure, and depression. We were created to live in freedom. Just as in John 4:10 Jesus told the woman at the well: “He replied, “If you only knew what a wonderful gift God has for you, and who I am, you would ask me for some living water!”

What can we do to water those dry places in our lives?

1. Worship God, we need to shift our focus on Him. Through worship we take our eyes off of ourselves, off of our problems and we focus all our energy and attention on God, our Creator.
2. Fill our mind with the word of God. To experience true freedom we must walk in a greater depth of the Word by abiding, living and taking up residence in the Word.

Lets water those dry places in our lives. Lets have a fixed daily time with God. When we place Him first in our lives, when we worship Him and fill our minds with the word of God, there will be no open doors for the enemy to come in. 

Declare: “I am the gatekeeper to my mind and I have a free mind by watching what I am listening to, what I watch, what I say, and who I surround myself with.”
