What if right now you could choose to step up to a whole new level of life in the Spirit? What if you could open the door to God’s power so that, instead of flowing at times like a stream, and at times like a river, it rushes through your life like a flood that by its very magnitude affects everything and everyone around you? That’s a thrilling thought, isn’t it? It’s the heart’s desire of all of us who love The LORD. It’s also what He’s been talking to us about lately. He’s been saying for quite some time now, The spiritual floodgates are open. The end-time move of My Spirit is on. The season of overflow is here! At Eagle Mountain International Church, we’ve already been experiencing it. We’ve been seeing a rising tide of healings and miracles for the past several years. They’ve been on the increase, not only in our services here at home but also when we minister in other places around the world. It’s been wonderful! Yet, what we’ve experienced thus far is only the beginning. The whole Body of Christ is headed for an overflow the likes of which the world has never seen. For us to get there, though, we have to do more than get excited about it. We have to get a working knowledge of it. What exactly is a working knowledge? It’s like the knowledge pilots have about aviation. They know more than just that airplanes can fly: Everyone knows that! They have a working knowledge of the airplane. They can actually get in the cockpit, fire up the engines and fly the plane. That’s the kind of knowledge Christians need these days about the overflow. We need to know not only what it is and what it does, but how to operate in it. We need to learn to let the power of God continually flow out of us, so it becomes a force field of BLESSING that surrounds us all the time, everywhere we go. Think, for example, about what happens when a believer learns to operate in God’s power for protection. If a tornado heads toward his neighborhood, he can declare by faith that according to Psalm 91 no evil will come nigh his dwelling. He can command the tornado to not touch his house, and it won’t. What else will happen in the process, in many cases? The tornado will also jump over the houses on either side of his, so the people in those homes—even though they might not even be saved—benefit from the force field of BLESSING that’s surrounding their believing neighbor. They’ll end up being divinely protected by the power of God that’s coming out of him. That’s a great example of how the overflow works! It opens the way for God to pour out His goodness both to us and through us. It gives Him an opportunity to manifest His BLESSING not only in the lives of those of us who are believers, but in the lives of unbelievers out there in the world. BVOV : 7
