Stay Filled Up

Listen to the Podcast

In Matthew 12:43-45 Jesus said, “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.

Lately we have talked about how to make sure we keep the gifts and answers to prayer God sends our way. In the scripture above, Jesus said that a person was set free, but then they ended up losing it and becoming worse off. The gifts and the call of God are irrevocable, meaning he won't take them away, but they can be stolen from us. Lately God has been teaching me about holding fast our confession and staying filled up. This means that when we keep remembering what he did by praising him for it, it helps us to keep everything he sends our way. A good practice for us to develop is spending a few minutes every day remembering what God has done in our life and that he won't take it away, because it will help us hold fast and stay filled up. There is fullness in Christ and praise helps us stay positioned in him. It's also important we stay filled up with his word.

Today's communion is a time of gratitude for all God has done in our lives and that his gifts and call are irrevocable. And we are asking him for help to stay filled up and overflowing consistently from this point on in our lives. 

Today's Health/Fitness Tip

After every workout I like to go for a walk with God. This is also a great way to stay filled up with the Spirit. I like to walk and pray in the Spirit as a way to connect with God and stay filled up. 

I am praying for you.
