Heart of the Drought
Thursday, April 26th, 2007What an awesome country is this Australia. A freedom to live, breed and worship who we like. After Anzac Day it reminds us of the beauty of the Australian heart.
Drought is trying to take it's hold on our lives. You can either shrug it off and blame everyone you may like to target and make a political hoohaa out of it, or look a little closer. So often I hear about fixing the pollution from industry, and that is certainly valid. God wants us to take care of what we are given by Him. But there is someone more powerful than industry and pollution, and even though He likes us to be disciplined by our actions, He wants the best for us all.

Here in Sydney we currently suffer from rain falling all over our cities when it decides to, but not so much on our Dams and farms. I believe that it is because our hearts are not focussed or honed on God anywhere near enough. It is prophetic that the water pours where we would rather it not. Only to go down our drains and out to an ocean that doesn't need it either. The rain is not focussing on our catchments, our hearts are not unitedly focussed on God. A christian God who through the outpouring of His Holy Spirit has so much for us.
If we unite as one church more often then the drought would move. God gives us an overabundance, but He wont give it to us unless we unite at this time. The church in Australia is disjointed, each one having it's own mandate to and for the Kingdom, many ignoring the others. People are moving around from church to church until they leave totally disheartened. False conversions to Jesus's Salvation abound without taking real root in our lives.
The true church of Jesus Christ is measured by what it does for the overall body of Christ and for the unreached. A focus on Jesus as a whole rather than traditions and hoop jumping is what is needed to break this Drought. A spiritual Drought that is just as devastating as the physical one. All God needs is our devotion.
I'm not talking about church bashing here, but refining it's focus on God. I go to so many seeing people so focussed on their church that the Love of Jesus is lost. The church needs to get out of it's rut, and circulate more. Meet with more christians, share more dreams and visions and support each other in Him and Him alone.
Working in churches losses focus when the raising of standards are preached that leave the lost behind. It's like the attitude sometimes is you have to be better than the rest, but Paul tells us He was one of the worst. Churchs that preach standards are under the influence of man and not God. For God says focus on me, and not standards, focus on Love and not deception. Droughts are broken when His people humble themselves, and repent, not when we create the seperations of church rules and regulations. The Holy Spirit needs to dwell in our hearts, from there the Drought breakthrough begins.
