Scripture:
“For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit sparingly.” John 3:34 NET
Observation:
In this passage, John the Baptist tells his disciples about Jesus. This phrase he uses is so powerful concerning being filled with the Holy Spirit. He says that Jesus speaks words from God and he doesn’t give the Spirit sparingly. In other words He gives the Spirit in great measure. He’s not stingy about giving us the Spirit. He overflows us with Him.
Application:
We need to see that the Holy Spirit has been given “without measure”. He is not given sparingly. In other words, we have enough of the Spirit to do anything and everything God asks us to do. We don’t get a limited dose of the Holy Spirit. We are never lacking Holy Spirit power when we are working for Jesus. He provides all the Spirit we could ever need. We are never inadequate when sharing the Gospel or praying for people. We have everything it takes to get God’s will and word accomplished.
Prayer:
Father, let me live on overflow of Your Spirit. Help me to never understand it what is possible when the Holy Spirit gets involved. Teach me to walk in step with the Spirit and to follow completely. Let me never have a small minded mentality, but to know that I am overflowed with the Holy Spirit and power. Let me minister in great confidence, not in myself, but it You.
You are Amazing!
Jeff
