For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessi11ng on your descendants.  Isaiah 44:3

The nature of God is to give.  He doesn’t throw down penny candy.  He gives out of his storehouse and empties it into empty places.  He pours out water on dry ground.  He pours out His wisdom to those who ache to know the mind of God for their times.  Wherever emptiness exists, a filling is available.

God begs to be shared through the mouth of His prophets.  This world needs a kingdom clash but there won’t be one unless intercessors ask God to pour out His Spirit on an earth that is empty of knowledge.  “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.  Joel 2:28 

God loves His creation and when He saw our emptiness, He sent Jesus, who “emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and was made in the likeness of men.”  Philippians 2:7   This was called kenosis, from the Greek verb meaning, “to empty.”   The incarnation was living proof that God gives everything for those He loves.

When Jesus left this earth, He sent back His own Spirit, not a companion Spirit.  At my rebirth, His Spirit was poured out upon me.  What is the proof that my emptiness underwent a spiritual takeover?   “He who believes in Me, as the Scriptures said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ John 7:37  Out of a previously empty spirit, my spirit now overflows with the Living Water of the Spirit.  I am to be poured out and my world will never be the same.

Pour me out as a drink offering, Jesus.  Amen
