Constant Flow

Ephesians 5: 18

Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

 

Do you know, that there are no real exceptions to this verse?

We are called to be filled with the Spirit.

If we are not filled, then something is wrong—and that wrong is sin.

 

The Greek explains that we should be continuously filled with the Spirit of God.

Translated, this verse actually plays out as….. “Be filled and keep on being filled.”

It’s not like going and filling a bucket full of water—a onetime thing—it’s a constant flow and filling.

 

My great Grandma who lived in Tustin, WI, had an artesian spring flowing right into her kitchen.

I remember seeing that the faucet, or in this case the pipe, that came to her sink, had a constant flow of fresh, cold water—it never stopped.

Where does your constant flow come from?

 

We should never be emptied of the Spirit.

We should receive a daily influx of God’s Spirit, and the flow should be constant.

 

What are you doing, to keep a constant flow of God’s Spirit?

Actually, the Spirit should be overflowing, and you’d be surprised at how many dry people fill the churches week after week………….
