We, believers have been asking God to release a
flood of the Holy Spirit into our nation and the earth. This Holy Spirit Flood
will happen when we understand that we have a reservoir of the Holy Spirit in
our hearts. As in the natural every reservoir (heart) has a dam and each dam
has floodgates of the Spirit and we are the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers
control the flow of the Holy Spirit out of our hearts.
Sadly, many
gatekeepers (believers) try to keep the floodgates closed and hold on to all
that God has given them. They only allow a few splashes of the overflow of the
Spirit to flow out. They do not understand that the reservoir of the Holy
Spirit in their hearts is greater than they can imagine. Colossians 2:9-10
states, For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and
you have been given the fullness of Christ, who is the head over every power
and authority.(NIV). In other words, we have the fullness of God in Christ in
the reservoirs of our hearts waiting to be released.
We as gatekeepers
must open all the floodgates of our hearts and allow the River of the Holy
Spirit to flow out into our lives and the world. This River of the Holy Spirit has all the
Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and all the Gifts of the Spirit (I Corinthians
12:8-10) and all we have to do is open the floodgates to have access to
everything in God and all that God is. We are not limited to just one or two of
the Gifts of the Spirit, just as we are not limited to having one or two of the
Fruits of the Spirit in our lives. God wants all of the Gifts of the Spirit as
well as all of the Fruit of the Spirit out of our lives. All we need to do is
open the floodgates and the Holy Spirit will guide us.
The more we allow the Holy Spirit to flow out of us,
the more we receive from God. The Law of Use and the Law of Multiplication come
into divine activation into our lives. We get much more of God than we give
out. God will continually expand and overflow the reservoirs of our hearts.
This will cause an even greater flow of the River of the Spirit to flow out to
the world.
Our nation
is a dry and thirsty land and it needs the flow of the River of the Spirit.
This is the only way to change the course of our nation and bring about the
great awakening that we need. So, take the step of faith, be a gatekeeper that
opens wide the floodgates and be a part of the next great awakening in this
nation and the world.
