Famine of Faith

I went through a season of my life that landed me in a land of Famine. A Famine of Faith and I remained there for way too long. The Living Waters of Faith only flowed every once and awhile and when they did my thirst was way too easily quenched. A dam had formed from the toxic soup I was feeding my flesh, and it kept those living waters from flowing freely.

My Spiritual sustenance was always right there in front of me in God’s Word, but I was only feeding myself sporadically, just enough to keep me from heading in the wrong direction. I wasn’t moving though. I had become a Spiritual Anorexic and Medicinal Bulimic. I either starved myself of the Bread of Life or I was filled with too much of my own suffering that I had no room left for God!

The spirit of depression and despair that often accompanies people suffering from unresolved pain and anxiety had gotten a grip over my spirit! The drugs I was prescribed made it worse by many magnitudes.

But God…

God in all of His Grace saw fit to break the chains of Bondage I was under and I became Free from the Prison I had built for myself between my two ears. The spiritual anorexia was instantly Healed when I fully surrendered my all to Jesus. The anxiety was Healed through the nourishment I received when I began feeding myself daily with the Word of God. The medicinal bulimia was lifted as I emptied myself out unto the Lord over many months and I submitted to the will of the Holy Spirit.

The Living Waters of Faith began to flow freely through me as a Conduit of Christ’s Love. The dam had broken and the famine land I was in became a lush meadow of God’s Love and Grace.

I am a weakened and broken vessel, but I am held together by the Master’s Hand and His Holy Spirt is the glue keeping me from falling apart. Jesus is the Restorer and His Will is to Redeem our brokenness.

I am daily feasting on the Bread of Life in God’s Word.

I am daily drinking from the Fountain of Living Waters, in Faith.

I am living daily as a Conduit of Christ’s Love and His Grace.

Jesus Christ is my Sustainer; my Savior, and He led me out of the Famine of Faith and into the Meadow of Miracles where His Son always shines.
