I Am pouring out My Spirit on the earth. But, just like rain water, My Spirit will only remain when it is captured in containers.
In order for a container to hold water, it first must be emptied. No container can be filled if it is already full.
When you are full of Self, the container of your soul cannot be filled with My Spirit.
Empty your soul-cup.
How?
By dying for Me.
Each time you are willing to bear the cross or endure the altar of sacrifice, your flesh dies. As your flesh dies, your soul-cup empties, thereby making room for My Spirit that I rain down from Heaven.
All voluntary suffering for another brings Life … both to the one being rescued and to the one on the altar.
You have received more of Me as you have made more room for Me within your soul-cup.
More of Me means more Life which flows continuously from you.
More of My Life-flow means more healing Life and more revelation Life for those I send you to.
So, be encouraged, as you continue to endure one cross after another.
Life comes from the death of My volunteers. (Martyrs)
The death of your flesh makes more empty space in your soul-cup for My Spirit rain to fill.
The picture is of the earth and tons of people who have large buckets on their heads. Most buckets are filled to the top with stuff. Only a very few, dispersed among the huge crowd, have empty buckets on their heads. The rain is falling. Everyone gets wet but the water soon evaporates and they are dry again. The surface of the full buckets gets wet but they also quickly dry.
The few people who have empty buckets on their heads get wet and their buckets become filled to the top and overflow with pure beautiful water.
