FLOODGATES

As we were driving down the interstate, my phone alarm started to blare loudly.  The sound penetrated our ears and scared us to death.  Flash flood alert was given to the following area where we were driving.    Two to three inches of rain had already fallen and localized flooding was expected.  As we continued to drive up the mountains, you could see the waters rushing down the riverbeds in the valleys.  The rocks on the side of the mountains had a covering of water flowing down them. 

I can’t help but compare a flash flood to that of the Holy Sprit. 

The disciples waited in the upper room.  They were waiting for God’s promise and blessing.  It was the day of Pentecost when there came a rushing wind and the downpour of the Holy Spirit rained down on them.  They were all filled with the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:1-4)

That day those that were dry and parched the rain fell upon them filling them with the holiness of God.  Those that wanted to have a deeper relationship with the Lord, those that were dedicated to Christ and those who were true believers the Holy Spirit flooded their lives. 

Are you one who is dedicated to Christ?  If not are you ready to be?  Are you ready to form a deeper relationship with Him and allow the floodgates to open?

When we move to the upper room and give our life to Christ our floodgates are opened and the Holy Spirit drenches us with His blessings and His promises. 

Fervently pray for the downpour.  Let god pour his grace upon us.  Open the floodgates- Holy Spirit rain down on me!
