Dry Ground

DRY GROUND

Text: Isaiah 44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground:

We are living in a time in history that has never been before. A time that is as wicked as any time before. A time when the land in which we live is dry spiritually. We need a good soaking rain, a flood from God. The dry ground is a symptom of the problem.
