Getting Ready for the Rain...

What an awesome service we had at church today. Our pastor was on fire with his two sermons he gave us today.

This question he asked us "Are we ready for the Rain". Here are some thought provoking points he gave us during these sermons:
--God will send the rains in our life when He is ready.
--Have we prepared ourselves for the rains He will send?
--The drought of spirituality has hit our churches, the churches are dry and parched!

In order for us to experience showers of blessings and the rain that Jesus will pour on our lives we must:
1. Recognize our sin
2. Repent of our sin
3. Return to God

When the rain comes in our yards what happens? Weeds begin to grow. Well the same things happen in our lives when we let sin in.

We need to get the weeds out of our life, expose the weed (sin) so it doesn't come back into our life. Pull it up from the root so it can't come back!

If we fail to tend our garden (our heart) we will have weeds. But we can do some weed control. It's called prayer, reading the Word, asking God's guidance to help us control those weeds that keep cropping up.

When we tend our gardens (our hearts) it will produce fruit instead of weeds.

What about it? what's in your crops? Weeds or fruit?
