In reference to the song, this is “His Spirit that will open us up inside,” but I love what the first part of the song says, which is that when we “provide the sacrifice” He will “provide the fire.” It is in that place of laying down our lives, in that place of total surrender, when we offer our whole selves as a burnt offering so His consuming fire will come. We can’t even cry out for more of Him without His grace and nudging to do so. The song provides a beautiful picture and summary of what is currently happening in the body of Christ. These are the words that have been resounding in my heart. You provide the Spirit, and I will open up inside. You provide the fire, and I’ll provide the sacrifice. In that secret place, the songwriters began to cry out with what is now the song’s chorus, asking God to “fill them up.” The song’s chorus reads like this: God often speaks to me through music one of the songs that I’ve recently been hearing in the spirit is a song called “Fill Me Up.” It was originally written by United Pursuit and was birthed out of a week dedicated to 100 hours of prayer. He will fill the very places where we cry out for more of Him to reside and occupy. In fact, the Lord says, “Blessed are you who hunger NOW, for you shall be satisfied” (Luke 6:21). We are promised that He has filled the hungry with good things (Luke 1:53), and when we hunger and thirst for righteousness we will be satisfied (Matthew 5:6). The good news is that God has not left us as orphans, and our Daddy will give us what we ask for. It’s a yearning to know God and to know who we are in Him, and it’s bringing about the manifestation of the sons of God who are arising into the fullness of their destiny through the asking of more. This holy hunger is a passion for Jesus and a desire for more of Him, and it’s coming upon believers and non-believers alike. It’s the wooing of our Bridegroom crying out for His beloved bride, and it’s the bride that is preparing herself and making herself ready. There is a fresh “hunger” that has recently been released in the body of Christ, a drawing of His Spirit that has been amplified to call us closer. Join with her in decreeing it into being. It’s time that we begin to pour our whole selves out as love offerings, giving ourselves in true worship – as living sacrifices, allowing every work that we have built that is not of Him to be tested through the fire. Andrea is passionate about Jesus and has a heart to see God’s justice and love released to the nations. Not only will it bring you happiness, but others will be happy too.July 2013 Andrea Aasen is a missionary serving on-ground with our Cambodia team. Take it to Him, and it will never run dry. And when you let Him fill it up each morning, you then get to take it into your home and into the world and instead of asking it to be filled by limited sources you spill your overflowing cup out and over into the lives of others. Godliness spills out all over you and whoever you bump into.Īre you holding out your cup today? If so, there is One who is waiting to fill it till it overflows. We have an unlimited source of supply each morning that is just waiting to fill that cup up till it overflows. 1 Timothy 6:6įor physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding the promise for both the present life and the life to come. Godliness with contentment is great gain. The hard thing about that is that the next day my cup is empty, and I have to take it back out and plan and go and do and fret and work, sometimes deep into the night to get it filled back up again. When I am discontent, I hold it out to all sorts of people and places until it reaches the mark of contentment.
Some people wish you didn’t have your cup because they are hurt and tired of trying to be the one to fill it as you continually come towards them holding out your cup. Our hearts say to the things of this world….fill my cup today. We wake up each day and are unaware that we pick that cup up and take it into our day asking it to be filled as we move in and out of our circles and places. Perhaps it is food, excessive exercise, the approval of others, tennis, kid’s sports, kid’s accomplishments, or a fixer upper house complete with Magnolia Market furnishings (who doesn’t want that?). The cup says, “Fill me up, I want to overflow.” Maybe you hold it out to your husband and expect him to fill it up. No one can see it, and you don’t really know you are holding it out and walking around with it. It’s an invisible cup that we hold out each day. You have a cup that you walk around with. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
