The Fill Up

The Fill Up



     When I was a child, one day I decided that I was going to do something great for my Dad. I wanted to fill up his truck and my brother to help me. We took the water hose, placed it in the gas tank and let the water run in until it had overflowed. We were so proud and kept it a secret because we wanted to surprise him. Boy, was he surprised when he tried to drive. He had a little trouble cranking the truck up but was able to finally get it started. He made it out of the driveway and up the hill before the truck stopped. We didn’t know what was wrong. The water looked just like gas and the gas hand indicated that it was full. Long story short, we tore that engine up.
     Some of us are just like that truck-walking around and testifying that we are saved, sanctified and filled with Holy Spirit but are not. Some are full of something - but not the right something. We look like and give the appearance that we are running on full but are really torn and messed up on the inside.  
     If you are filled with the wrong stuff, allow God to fill you. He says in his word:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 NIV

Also:
“but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. 
Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
John 4:14 NIV

Carrying a LIE

I saw a documentary of a woman who believed she was pregnant. Her belly grew to full term, and she experienced emotional, hormonal and physical symptoms of pregnancy. She believed it to the point that it manifested in the physical. She appeared pregnant but was carrying a lie. Some of us have grown full term carrying a lie. The lies of not being good enough, not loved, sick, stuck, defeated and so on… The Enemy has made us believe, carry, protect, and nurture these lies. He is a liar (John 8:44). Today, I pray termination over the lies that we carry. I pray that all negative seeds, empty sac, and after birth be aborted and healing be applied to damaged areas by the love of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. “Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].” 1 Peter 5:7 AMP #LifebySabrina

Know Who You Are!

  A children's movie from the early '90s portrayed a puppy who was separated from his family and taken in by a family of bunnies. The bunny (rabbit) family made him a part of their family. The puppy lived, played, ate like, and acted like the bunnies. He began to mimic the behavior of his new bunny family until the other animals in the forest began to call him the 'bunny-puppy'.  The puppy began to get weak and sick. The bunny family took him to the doctor and discovered that the problem was that he needed to be nourished and cared for as the puppy that he was.  You may become temporarily displaced, off track, or confused about your identity, destiny, or calling. You may have spent years functioning as someone else, something else, or somewhere else.  When you Know Who You Are, you will begin to live YOUR life. Remind yourself of who you are.   I am loved (Romans 8:38,39). God has a plan for my life (Jeremiah 29:11). I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psa...
