Good morning everyone, God bless you all and may the light of the Lord shine upon you. I hope you have turned your cups around this last week to half-full, because the Lord is working in you now and is moving you from half-full to overflowing. As we wrap up this study on the Cup, I want you to know that God wants to produce in you an overflowing blessing in your life. If you would turn over to because this is the promise of the Lord for those who are willing, it says in : Read
So many of us in life are willing to take things to a certain level, but never overflowing, why is that I wonder. Perhaps we are scared of the blessing, we are afraid of what it means when my cup overflows, when He does immeasurable more. So, we take it, even to the tippy top, but don’t let it flow over. We keep Jesus’ blessing so tight, as if we wouldn’t be blessed over and over again. So, we allow ourselves to get filled up and try not to spill any of it out. And God forbid if we get any of it out onto others, yikes! I don’t want people to know God is blessing me. So, we sneak around trying not to spill any of it. But what if we just let God fill us up until we were overflowing. Can you imagine that type of blessing when we don’t care what people think and we truly know He will continue to bless as long as we are in Him, but before we can get there, everything must start from its proper perspective, like it says in .

Conclusion:
I have never heard anyone say, get your blessing off from me. Never heard them say, don’t give me any of that good stuff you got. No, I have never seen anything but a positive response from blessing that overflow upon them. That is why God blesses so abundantly, so that we can go out and splash others with our blessing. Not an accident like I gave the example before, but on purpose, like this(Splash some people) Whether it be encouragement or love or peace or money or hope, whatever it is, get it all over the place. You want revival in the Church, then you have to let the Lord pour out His blessing on you and then when you are overflowing you go out and share it with others and watch them stand amazed in the presence of God.
