Adjust the Overflow..

The word the Lord has laid on my heart at the start of this year is “Overflow”.

I have been away at Leader’s conference this week and have been so blessed and refreshed. I will share some of the key takeaways from that time over the next few posts.

In the meantime, I am reminded of this previous word the Lord gave me to Adjust the Overflow which I want to re-share today and I hope it blesses those reading who may need some encouragement.

Jesus is the living water who fills us and refreshes us. He overflows His grace and the Holy Spirit into us.

Unless water has an outflow though the water becomes stagnant. The water is meant to flow as it is living.

Inflow and Outflow.

The picture the Lord showed me with this word Overflow was that some people see their overflow pipe at the top of their tank. They feel that they need to have a full tank before they can begin to overflow to others but the Lord was saying- you don’t need to wait for your tank to fill- adjust your overflow pipe.

Set the overflow pipe to where you are at currently.

You may feel dry at the moment and that you only have a trickle in your tank but the Lord wants you to open the tap and let the trickle out – see your overflow pipe at the bottom of the tank.

Today, whatever the level the water is in your tank then let it overflow.

The tank will surely fill as you ask the Lord to fill and re-fill you and as you overflow then the more your tank will fill.

Bless you today my friends as the Lord overflows through you – it could just be a smile or a hello which makes the world of difference to someone who is lonely.

It could be a short prayer or a listening ear for those in need.

Have an overflowing day friends.

    I remember this illustration, from when you shared it before, Nicola, and it’s spot on! These past two years I’ve occasionally told my leadership mentor, “I can’t keep up with all the changes. I don’t feel competent.” Her response was that, in our line a work, competency is a moving target. My job is to keep learning and growing and sharing knowledge with those I lead—with the spigot just below the water level.
    Excellent post and reminder. Thank you, and God Bless.

    What an excellent analogy of our faith in Christ, as it is meant to be. I certainly see my blogging in this; the Word is given to me and I write about it, outflow. Thank you for sharing this encouragement today Nicola. God bless you and your family today sister 🙏
