Purpose the outpour is a sentence that rang so true during early morning prayer before Sunday’s service this past weekend.
Every Sunday morning around 9 am, I take time to pray for our church service, and a theme that I feel laces the hearts of so many prayers is asking God to move.
Move in our worship team, God.
Move in our hearts.
Move in our finances.
Move in our health.
Move in my family.
Move.
As I took time to pause and listen to God’s response to my request of Him moving once again, I heard “purpose the outpour”.
My spirit heard it as a bold statement of desired action and as a question:
Purpose the outpour. Will you purpose the outpour?
Any time I connect with the presence of God, I always walk away changed.
Emotional baggage and spiritual burdens are lifted, I begin to feel weightless.
I somehow realize my fragility yet empowered by the reality that the God of the Universe desires to partner with me to live this life if I choose to accept His invitation.
God always moves when we ask, but why.
Is it just for me to feel good?
Is it just for me to feel weightless and powerful?
God’s outpour is not just for us; it is for others.
Purpose your outpour whether it comes in the form of an answered prayer, financial blessing, or joy.
Allow it to flow and pour into someone who may not know that they can ask God to move in their lives.
This is the purpose of God’s outpour, the refilling, the healing, the empowering: we get filled, so we can fill someone else who is empty and needing God to move in their lives.
