Today’s Reading:
Matthew 10
John 5
John 15
Jesus gathered his twelve disciples and imparted to them authority to cast out demons and to heal every sickness and every disease.
Matthew 10:1 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
What you have freely received, you can freely give. This is a time of impartations. Don’t stand alone as a receptacle, only in receiving mode. What I have given to you — by My Spirit, through My ministers of healing, deliverance and the Gospel of the Kingdom — you are to pour out freely. You are to be a free flowing vessel that not only receives but releases all that which has been poured so generously into you. Don’t hold onto it for yourself. That’s how the oil gets stagnant, stale and even rancid. To keep the oil of My Spirit flowing powerfully and freshly, it must be imparted, released, gifted to others.
So Jesus said, “I speak to you eternal truth. The Son is unable to do anything from himself or through his own initiative. I only do the works that I see the Father doing, for the Son does the same works as his Father.”
John 5:19 TPT
I have made your cup to overflow, so reach out and pour what I have given you into another and then another and then another. Remember the story of Elisha and the widow? The oil only ceased when she ran out of vessels in which to pour. Stay active. Be moved by the impulses of My Spirit. Reach out to those you know and those you don’t. Keep the chain of outpouring going and unbroken, and watch as even more is continually added unto you.
This is a time of a great outpouring. It’s My outpouring that fuels, sustains and enables you to pour out. Stay connected to Me, and only pour out that which I have given you, nothing more. Watch the blessings and the vibrant, energetic life that teems all around you in those places and to those ones where you pour out.
“I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless.”
John 15:5 TPT
Life more abundantly is life that is pouring out, because as long as you are pouring out precisely what you have received, there will be no end to your supply. No crash or exhaustion comes when you are aligned, when you are connected to Me and when you move only by the impulses of My Spirit. The crash and the exhaustion comes when you get out of step with Me and work in your own strength. That’s when the oil dries up too. Abide in Me. Remain connected to Me, and pour out only what I have given, only where I instruct you to pour out, and watch how your joy will be made so very full.
How to Respond
- Bless the Lord.
- Pray, Thank You Lord for the ministry of Your Spirit in my life. Thank You for the outpouring and impartations You have given me — both directly by Your Spirit and through Your ministers. Help me to be a pure and open vessel, willing and obedient to pour out what I have freely received from as You instruct me to impart it.
- Declare, Freely I have received the power of the Kingdom, so freely I will release it to others.
— adapted from Matthew’s 10:8 - Decree, Alignment and abiding will guide every step I take. I have freely received, so I will freely give what the Lord has poured into me as He instructs. I will be moved by the impulses of Holy Spirit, and I will not get ahead or out of step with Him. As I remain in Him, my oil will stay fresh and my energy and time will be properly directed.
