The Lesson of the Water Line

 The Lesson of the Water Line

 

We often blame God for not providing or blessing us because we are not seeing the desired results just like I blamed my well water pump for not providing the water pressure when I turned on the faucet.  The real problem was that I didn’t have a big enough main waterline and the second problem was that a clogged had developed in a small section of the metal water pipe I was using. Once I replaced the clogged section and the main waterline with a line 2/3 larger, I have water pressure greater than I ever hoped.  

God is infinite in His resources and power.  If what we desire is not flowing through us to produce the outflow/results we desire it isn’t God’s fault, there is either a clog or “water line” that is restricted the volume.  As I learned with my water line, it doesn’t matter how much pressure is moving the water if the channel for it to flow through doesn’t allow a sufficient volume to come through it won’t produce much.  

If we are lacking anything from God it would be best if we do a quick check on our “water lines” to see if there are any clogs or if our “lines” need to be replaced with a bigger size line. A tight-fisted man is unable to grab hold of more because he won’t let go of what little he has.

 

Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you (this is the flow): good measure (this is the volume), pressed down (this is the pressure), shaken together, and running over (this is the water pressure when you turn on the faucet) will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure (volume) that you use, it will be measured (volume) back to you.”

1st Report from 2nd Ireland Trip

  Report From second Ireland trip.     Arrived in Ireland on time and very blessed.  The Lord provided me access to an airport lounge for my layover in Washington DC and for a row by myself to stretch out on the plane flight over.  Superfast pick up of the rental car and off I went to Castledaly.    Castledaly is a wonderful retreat/summer camp facility.  There was actually another retreat going on the same time as Outreach Ireland’s retreat.  The European Christian Mission and I the great privilege of meeting and speaking with Jonathan McCracken who is a church planter currently planting a church in Claremorris, Ireland.  Being that church planting is a passion of mine and part of my calling/mission this was indeed a divine appointment.  I was able to exchange contact information and am hoping to build relationship with him. Outreach Ireland’s retreat was a Holy Spirit filled time of connection, relati...

Been With Jesus

  Acts 4:13   Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.   I saw a clip from an interview with R.T. Kendall where he was asked this question, “After 70 years in ministry what would be your advice to a young R.T. Kendall?”  His answer was that though he himself has many degrees he would not recommend to young ministers to go to seminary.  He mentioned Acts 4:13. His recommendation was to do 2 things.  Pray a lot and know your Bible. He said that God wants us to know 2 things, His Word and His ways. He pointed out that how we know His ways or anyone’s ways is to spend time with them. This is not the first time that Acts 4:13 has jumped out to me. This time I ask myself the question do unbelievers know that I have been with Jesus?  The they that realized in Acts 4:13 wasn’t the church but unbelievers....
