A Double Portion of JOY JUICE Needed in the Dry Spells



           Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  If you are finding yourself in a “dry spell”, remain faithful.

            Every Christian, no matter how mature in their spiritual walk, finds himself/herself in a “dry spell” from time to time.  Let me describe what I mean by “dry spell”:

  • You don’t sense the warm presence of God.
  • There is no great yearning to read the Word of God.
  • You have no compulsion to pray.
  • You don’t hear Him speak.
 David Wilkerson explains it like this:
          “Have you ever sat in church and watched those all around you getting blessed, while you feel nothing? They cry; they pray; they worship with tremendous feelings. But you are not moved upon - at all. You begin to wonder if there is something wrong with your spiritual life. Christians all around you are telling these great stories about how God is blessing them and answering all their prayers. They seem to live on a mountaintop of happy experiences, while you just plod along, loving Jesus, but not setting the world on fire. Some of your prayers have still not been answered. You don't shout or put on an emotional display. You have no big stories to tell about some fantastic miracle you've witnessed. It almost makes you feel like a second-class believer.” 

Be encouraged! Even Jesus felt isolated…remember Him crying aloud,  "Father, why have you forsaken me?" 

Let’s encourage one another to stay faithful and drink a double portion of Joy Juice in the dry spells.
