The number one cause for spiritual drought is sin and the number one cure of that, according to the Scriptures, is repentance.

True repentance literally means an inward change of heart resulting in an outward change of direction. If there is no outward change of direction, then it is not true repentance.

There's no real repentance even if you are feeling emotional and weeping over your sin. Feeling sorry is not repentance.

Repentance is the change of heart that result in a change of lifestyle, a change of direction, a turning. King David gives us a great example in Psalm 32: 4-5 when he said: " For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. I acknowledge my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said 'I will confess my transgression to the LORD...'

If.....because of sin, you are in a drought spiritually, repent!!
If you do, your drought can be broken and you can experience the blessing of GOD.

Ezekiel 34:26, God is speaking and He saya: " I will make them and the places around My Hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing"

Begin to see God's desire to rain blessing into your life. Amen.

Intinya: pertobatan itu bukan menyesali dosa tp BERBALIK dari dosa (Turning), ada yg berubah
Jika hanya menangisi, menyesali dosa tp tdk melakukan TINDAKAN unt berubah maka itu bukanlah pertobatan. Mazmur 32: 4-5, terjemahan bhs inggrisnya: kalo ga bertobat maka 'Vitality' artinya: semangat, kekuatan akan menjadi kering.
Pdhl Tuhan itu kepengen memberkati kita dgn: Shower of blessing / hujan berkat, bukan percikan berkat, bukan hanya aliran berkat tapi Hujan berkat. Tp yg menghalangi semua itu adalah dosa. Maka dr itu berbaliklah dr dosa dan alami hujan berkat dr Tuhan
