Sermon Overview
Using the narrative of the three kings in the desert, Reidhead illustrates that God often requires an act of faith—"digging ditches"—during a dry season. He posits that the "ditches" are the structures of obedience we build in our lives to hold the "water" of the Spirit. The sermon is a call to labor in hope, trusting that God is responsible for the flood if we are responsible for the preparation.
Key Principles
Trial of Dry Weather:Stay faithful to your daily disciplines even when you feel no "spiritual rain" or excitement.
Practical Preparation:Perform the physical acts of obedience God has commanded before the miracle arrives.
Human Cooperation:Realize that while God provides the "water," He expects you to provide the "ditch" (the structure).
Surrendered Valley:View the "ditches" in your character as the specific areas where God wants to pour His life.
Waiting without Signs:Refuse to stop "digging" just because you don't see any clouds; trust God's silent work.
Supernatural Source:Expect your "water" to come from a source you can't see (the "Euphrates" of the Spirit).
Filling Character: Ask God to fill the "ditches" of your natural personality with His supernatural life.
Local Church Move:Unite with other "ditch-diggers" in your local church to prepare for a corporate move of God.
