As I was watering a neighbor’s grass the other day the hose kept getting a kink and stopping the flow of water. I would lay the hose down and back track my steps to discover where the problem was.

It kept happening and I was getting a little irritated because it was so hot outside that particular day so I wanted to get this job done quickly. Then I felt like I heard the still inner voice of the Holy Spirit speak.

You know the water is on full strength from the spigot, but when there is a kink in the hose, it doesn’t  matter how much water pressure is on the other end, the flow of water is still prohibited. Then I heard this is the same way in your life.

 The Holy Spirit will flow in you once your life is hidden in Christ, but when we allow things on our end to put a kink in the flow, it inhibits His power from getting to us and through us. John 7:38 “He that belives on Me(Jesus), as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters.”

We know once we have made Jesus Lord and decided to follow Him the Holy Spirit will flow as we surrender to His process and power in our lives.

  Sometimes we stop that flow through our own fears, unbelief, doubts, unconefessed sin, unforgiveness, etc.. If you feel like there is a distance or breach between you and the Heavenly Fathers love then stop and ask Him to show if you have knowingly or unknowingly placed a kink in your line.

 Father God”s love is more powerful than any force on earth. It is more powerful than any of our shortcomings, but God does not force Himself upon us.

The Holy Spirit is a gentleman that waits to be invited. Put more faith in Gods ability than in any weakness you or I may have. Jesus is enough! His sacrifice, blood, death, and resurrection paid it all!

 Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the measure of faith to believe in all Jesus paid for.To expose and release any kinks in your walk with the Lord so you can enjoy the fruit of His fellowship. To be a recipient of the covenant Jesus paid for with His blood.
