“The Holy Spirit cannot fill what is already full.”
Those were the words of renowned evangelist and prophetess, Kathryn Kuhlman (RIP). So, do you feel an emptiness you cannot describe when it comes to your spiritual life?
Therein could lie your answer: you are full of other things and need emptying. Maybe God gave you a spiritual gift and anointing that you are refusing to use, so you are sitting pretty, filled to the brim, yet empty at the same time.
You should start emptying yourself by doing what God called you to do and make room for the Holy Spirit. Some of us are full of pride, unforgiveness, inequity, grudges, greed, corruption, transgressions and more filth, and seeing as our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, there is simply no place for Him to dwell anymore.
Again, we need emptying out to start feeling God’s presence once more. It could even be idolatry; there are things and people that have become gods to you, there is simply no way you could ever hear from God or experience His presence anymore.
Again, empty yourself first. How do we do that? First, repentance. As the Bible says in Psalm 51, God cannot despise a broken and contrite heart, so repentance never gets old and you can never overdose on that in prayer.
Repent for the many ways you have allowed yourself to be filled with unnecessary baggage, locking out what truly matters. Repent for the disobedience and procrastination in regards to ministry.
You can also fast and bring your body into submission to Christ. Whenever you feel that carnal fullness and spiritual emptiness, it means the body has one-up on you.
Don’t wait for the church to call for an organized period of fasting on the calendar; that is why salvation is personal.
Go into a short period of fasting, and allow your spirit to get back the upper hand over the body. Prayer and fasting allows the body to empty itself of the nonsense and hone itself better to what is happening in the spiritual realm. Before long, the Holy Spirit will fill you once again. Good luck.
Thank you for the edification.
