DUNAMIS: Famine/Lack

DUNAMIS: Famine/Lack

Ever wondered what it means to feel "in famine" while supposedly full of God’s power? This conversation on *Resilient Truths* sits right in that tension, as Dr. Theresa M Bell talks about living with the Holy Ghost inside yet still facing seasons of lack.

Speaking to people of faith who feel worn out, financially stretched, or spiritually dry, she asks the hard question: "How you gonna have all that power, but you still got lack, want in your life, or you going through a famine?" Drawing from stories of Abraham, Joseph, Job, Jeremiah and Joel, she looks at how famine can be a consequence of disobedience, a tool for correction, or a set-up to bless others.

The tone stays real and down-to-earth, with plenty of humour and church-family banter. Dr. Bell jokes about people-pleasing leaders and empty fridges, yet keeps bringing the focus back to purpose and obedience.

A key theme is learning to be a blessing **in** a barren place: "Sometimes God will put you in a land of famine… to be a blessing to that land." You’ll hear practical spiritual advice, like keeping your own cup full so you can pour from the overflow: "God putting your cup is for you… that overflow that gets into the saucer, that's what you feed the people." Apostle Dr.

Cheryl Williams joins in to talk about being a "game changer" who leaves every place better than they found it, right down to cleaning the bathroom at a friend’s house. Together they stress being ready "in season and out of season," living in worship, and asking God, "Okay, Lord, why am I here?

What’s my lesson?" If you’ve ever felt forgotten in your own dry season, this conversation might push you to ask a new question: is this famine punishment, preparation, or an assignment to bless someone else?
