Overflow

Recently, we had a time of 24/7 prayer in the Chapel at Church. It happened to take place, the week before the Thrive Men's Adventure. On the Tuesday morning before, I came into the room that was decorated with many stations to help us focus our prayer. As I sat before the Lord and sought Him, I heard the word "overflow" and felt that the Lord wanted me to just be filled with His Spirit and learn to let Him Overflow in my life. Right then, I looked over at my left, and there was a big oil drum with a little drum on top, which was painted beautifully. The smaller drum had water flowing over it's rim and it spilled continuously into the big drum. 

Paul said "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." (2Cor.9:8) Here, the word "abound" means "to be in excess," "abundance,". God has such an ocean of Grace available to us! He is Able to make that Grace overflow towards us, so that in every situation, and at all times, we have all the resources we need to overflow in every good work! 

Jesus put it this way... "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive."(John 7:38-39) 

When we spend time with Jesus, He Fills us to overflowing with His Spirit, until it begins to flow like a stream from within us. As you take time with Him today, ask Him to fill you. Ask Him to let His Grace and His Spirit fill you till you spill out on others. He has a "good work" that He planned ahead of time for you to do and you need to be ready for all He has for you!
