The Gas Pump

Picture a gas station. God is the gas pump. We pull up in the morning running on empty (getting there on fumes).Some may not even be able to get to the pump; they have to carry their red containers in. (Those may be the ones who need others to pray for them.) We turn the key off, don’t answer our cell phones (don’t want to cause an explosion), so everything is quiet. Then we put in our debit card to access the pump. That’s Jesus. He’s paid the price so as born again believers we have access to the fuel. Our praise and prayer time with Him starts the fuel a pumping (which is the Holy Spirit). We just rest in His presence until we are filled up and start overflowing. We have to stay there long enough to get a full tank. If we get just a little bit, it may get us through the day but there won’t be enough to overflow on others. Think about it, when we overflow the tank, it spills out and leaves a mark or stain and has a lingering smell. The same is true with us and God. If we stay long enough in his presence, we will be so full of the Holy Spirit that it overflows and makes a mark and lingers wherever we go.
