The Outpour: Dry Places and Empty Spaces by Pastor Terry Gainer on Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 2026

Getting Beyond the Pentecost Performance Every year, believers gather to celebrate Pentecost, dancing and shouting for the Holy Spirit's outpour, only to return to their empty spaces and dry places the very next day. In this challenging and deeply honest teaching, Pastor Terry Gainer confronts the hidden wounds, unspoken anger, and exhaustion that keep us from sustaining God’s power. True revival requires us to move past performance and step into authentic preparation through corporate prayer, intentional waiting, and radical, uninhibited praise. Before we can truly experience the transformative power of the outpour, we must first confront the realities that the early disciples faced in the upper room. Pastor Terry breaks down the crucial elements of our spiritual journeys that precede a sudden move of God: -- Recognizing the Reality of Betrayal: Like the disciples dealing with the loss of Judas, we often carry the pain of those who walked beside us and turned away right before our blessing. -- Confronting Rejection and Denial: We must address the moments when we, or those closest to us, deny God's faithfulness because the immediate outcome did not look the way we planned. -- Navigating Through Chaos: Following Jesus doesn't exempt us from public spectacles or messy seasons, we must learn to trust Him even when everything around us looks like a contradiction. -- Surviving Critical Transitions: When a familiar season ends and Jesus changes how He operates in our lives, we cannot allow the discomfort of transition to dry up our spirits. -- Embracing the Discipline of Waiting: God slows things down to break our spirit of independence, forcing us to bind up our rushing and wait with active, intense anticipation for His presence.
