Sermon Tone Analysis

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 .
