DON'T LIVE IN THE MIST WHEN YOU CAN HAVE THE RAIN

Text: Genesis 2:5-6---I Kings 18:41-46

Introduction: Mist is: " vapor, haze, film, fog, or blur."

See John 20:19

The difference between "mist" and "midst" is the letter "D".

·         The Divine One

·         The Deliverer

·         The Desire Of All Nations

·         The Daystar

·         The Dew

·         The Door

Without Jesus in the "midst", all we have is a "mist." We need rain, but so many times we become satisfied living in the "mist." This is a dull, dry, dusty, dead world and the only remedy is Spiritual Rain.

How do we get Spiritual Rain?

I.                PRAY UNTIL YOU FEEL THE DROPS (v.42)

A. Church: Prayed until they heard the knock.(Acts 14:22, 27; Rev. 3:20)
B. Hannah: Prayed until she felt the kicking.(I Samuel 1:5-13, 19-20)
C. Paul and Silas: Prayed until the felt the shaking.(Acts 16:25-26)
D. Daniel: Prayed until he felt the touch. (Daniel 6:11)
E. Jonah: Prayed until his prayer came in.

II. NEVER ACCEPT ANYTHING AS FINAL (v.43)

III. KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU SEE (v.43)
(Go again seven times).

 

IV. BE SATISFIED WITH LITTLE THINGS(v.44)
"There ariseth a little cloud out of the sea like a man's hand"

V. DON'T BE SURPRISED IF IT IS A BIG RAIN (v.45)
