I felt spiritually dry and asked God for help

Jeremiah 29:12-13, “Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

In the span of my Christian walk with God, despite circumstances when I experience confusion and frustration, I could always feel a spiritual connection with God. However, last week, I was very down. Deep in my heart everything seemed to go wrong. I was not in the mood of reading my bible and saying my prayer. Everything seemed to be in complete chaos. Although I ignored the terrible situation as well as the lack of willingness to fellowship with God, I persisted to pray and read the bible but there was no compulsion to continue.

Yesterday, I began to pray to God asking Him what was wrong with me. I did not seem to be my own self. Everything seems to be going wrong and deep in my heart there was emptiness. I continued to pray and tears rolled down my cheeks. I told God that peace and joy did not seem to be with me, I called out to Him to help me because my spiritual walk with Him was very dry, as if it was running out of fuel, like a lamp without oil or a car without petrol.

Then one evening, someone passed me a Victory magazine from Kenneth Copland ministry. Inside there was an article written with this header “Running on Empty”. This really gave me a great revelation and it answered my prayer with regards to the situation I was facing. After reading this article, my confusion and frustration were all gone. With a pure and seeking heart, God uses different methods to speak to us and address our needs.

I would like to share with you whenever your spirit is running dry and you need to stir your spirit up, you can speak up because the bible says out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speak. We can stir up our spirit by saying loudly "In the Name of Jesus I stir up the gift that's within me by faith, I am stirring up the love of God that's in me, I'm stirring up the power and I'm stirring myself up in the spirit of the living GOD! I'm stirred up. If we continue to confess that we are stirred up, it will eventually happen. Without knowing it, you would have already stirred your spirit!

Thank you Jesus. Glory to You!
