Beth Moore — An Outpouring (05/04/2017)
No one in this room is in as severe a drought than the one who cannot remember the last time you cried a tear for a broken world. That's drought. What if we got courage enough to go, "Bring back my tears for the lost. Bring back my tears for the captives, those imprisoned, those dying on planet earth. Bring back my passion for what you, Jesus, are passionate about."
As we cry out for a downpour and I'm going to tell you something, I believe its coming. You know why? Because I believe the truth is we are thirsty. And if the only thing we have to do, James, as much as I understand, the only thing we have to do is just go, "I'm thirsty. I'm poor and needy, Lord and I'm just crying out. I'm just crying out."
He says if you do that, I'll pour it out on a thirsty land. But a land that says we're just like plenty wet here, you'd just scare us half to death. We don't want anything new, just as long as you do what you've done before, we're good with it. But you know how we are here.
