Bring Them Hither To Me
Why have you not received
all the fullness of the Holy Spirit?
Do you not long to be anointed
with the rest of the oil?
(Leviticus 14:17-18).
Look around you at your situation.
Are you not conscious of many needs
at this very moment and almost
overwhelmed with difficulties,
trials and emergencies?
These are all divinely provided vessels
for the Holy Spirit's filling.
If you would only understand their meaning,
they will become opportunities for receiving
new blessings and deliverances which you
can obtain in no other way.
Bring these vessels to God.
Hold them steadily before Him
in faith and prayer.
Keep still. Cease your own restless
working until He begins to work.
Do nothing that He does not Himself
command you to do.
Give Him a chance to work,
and He will surely do so.
Then the very trials that
threatened to overcome you
with discouragement and disaster
will become God's opportunity
for the revelation of His grace
and glory in your life,
as you have never known Him before.
Bring them [all needs] to me.
