The Lord said, “We drink from broken cisterns and then wonder why we are dehydrated.” There is a river that never runs dry and when we drink from it, it springs up in us as an ever flowing stream. Change from where you are drinking and you will thirst no more.”

Jeremiah 2:11-13 “Has a nation changed its gods, Which are not gods?

But My people have changed their Glory For what does not profit. Be astonished, O heavens, at this, And be horribly afraid; Be very desolate,” says the LORD. ‘For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.’”

My friends, the Lord is inviting us as nations to stop drinking from broken cisterns that cannot hold water. We are literally sucking air and it is exhausting us. Right next to us, within reach is a river, a bubbling brook that never runs dry. It is the refreshing we long for; the living water we need, but we must choose to stop drinking from broken cisterns and drink from the bubbling brook.

Some think we are in a drought, no we are not in a drought, we are drinking from the wrong place. We drink from our own desires, hoping maybe one day our dreams will come true. We are drinking from other people, clinging onto their love and affirmation thinking it will quench our thirsty soul only to find ourselves thirsting for more. We drink from our bank account, addiction or community, thinking these highs will give us what we long for, only to find they are temporal not permanent relief.

The choice to change where you drink from is yours alone, but we need you to be well-watered, for as our rivers join together it creates a waterfall of God’s glory, power and love that wets nations that have long been deserts and causes flowers to arise in the desert; nations to turn to the Lord. It all starts with what you drink from, repent of drinking from broken cisterns and put your mouth to the river that never runs dry, it will hydrate you in a way you have been longing for.
