Emptiers

Our Fuel Gauge/Fuel Warning Light say EMPTY But That Isn't the Case!


“… For the Emptiers have emptied them out…” (Nahum 2:2b)

OK, it appears as if we’ve all got that one person, that one thing, that one thorn in the side that seems to be RELENTLESS at stealing your joy, stealing your ambition, stealing your confidence! We ponder, we speculate that perhaps it’s us and we look for mistakes or misspoken words that we may have uttered, we look for misunderstandings and we look for reasons. However, please know that there are forces that are assigned to keep you off balance, to keep you in a state of confusion, to keep you from the abundant living that has been promised to you in Christ. The enemy has assigned his forces to do just as he does…to Kill, Steal and Destroy.

Oftentimes, the attack will seem to come from those closest to you…family and friends and even co-workers! Sometimes the family and friends you love most can contaminate the pureness of the Word God gave you on Holy ground. They have known you from birth, and they often become the “hometown naysayers” who doubt your ability to do a supernatural task at God’s command.

However, Ephesians 6:12 warns us that “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. “.

Jesus says “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

So, instead of feeling empty, depressed, joyless…Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute! Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. (Philippians 4:4-9 The Message Bible)

Declare TODAY that I am no longer empty, but I’M FULL OF HIS LOVE!
