In this sermon Brook Failure, we learn that very man has his own brook.  Regardless of that man’s status in the Kingdom of God, he will have a brook that he will be sent to on a directive of God.  As we read the story of Elijah, we see the brook failure was enough to crush ordinary faith. But, Elijah did not have ordinary faith.  There is something noble in the heart of a man who can quote these words when the creeks dry up. The man is blessed who can walk through the confusion of this life and hear the clear voice of God. Difficulties will test you, but because of this my faith is going to be increased.  There are rich, rich harvests that come to those who are tested.  Where will you be ten years from now, twenty years from now, one hundred years from now? With the passing of time our priorities and focus becomes sharper.  Somewhere between average and mediocrity is a huge wall that will intimidate you and thwart you and try to destroy you.  But hunker down and tell the devil that you are in this for the fight of your life. The failure of the brook is for God to cast a vision in our lives. No one else can see what God can see.  Everyone else can see the crowd, the sick man on the stretcher, but God sees beyond the here and the now.  What is it that rests within you soul right now?  Only patience, discipline, prayer and time can bring it to pass. Time has a way of bringing the good things out.  It is when the brook fails that men discover their true purpose in life.
