When Deep Calls To Deep

The core of this message is an exploration of the believer’s response to "deep" seasons of life, times of intense emotional turmoil, depression, or a sense of distance from God. Seye Maj teaches that just as a deer pants for water, the human soul has an innate, desperate thirst for the living God that cannot be satisfied by natural means.

Seye Maj teaches that just as a deer pants for water, the human soul has an innate, desperate thirst for the living God that cannot be satisfied by natural means. The "deep" refers to the profound depths of human suffering and longing meeting the "deep" of God’s sovereignty and steadfast love. Spiritual discouragement is not a sign of a lack of faith, but an invitation to engage in a higher level of spiritual warfare: preaching to yourself.

The "Yet" of Faith: The psalmist says, "I shall again praise Him." This "yet" is a prophetic stance that declares that current mourning is temporary and praise is inevitable. The Community of the Saints: Deep seasons should drive a believer toward the gathering of the saints rather than into isolation. Corporate worship and shared testimonies serve as a "possession" of glad shouts that help lead the soul back to God. Psalm 42:1-11, Ephesians 1Read more
