Make Spiritual Deposits Daily

Do you ever find yourself feeling spiritually depleted? I know that sometimes I do. When I pray and ask God why, it seems that He is showing me that the reason for this is that I am trying to make a withdrawal from something that I have not made a deposit to lately.

In the natural, in order to withdraw money from a bank account you must have the funds in your account to draw from. If there is no money in your account you will not be able to take any money out due to insufficient funds. In the same way, we can become spiritually depleted if we have not made any spiritual deposits by fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit, by spending time at the feet of Jesus, or by feeding ourself with the Word of God and prayer.

Ephesians 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.

The original definition of this word “filled” means a continuous replenishment, an ongoing and repeated filling. Just as you would have to continually replenish your bank account, the same principle applies to your spiritual life. Not only will you become spiritually drained and famished but you will not have anything to fight with when adversity and trials come your way. The Holy Spirit wants the fellowship that He once had with you but you must always remember that it is a relationship not a religion. Jesus has great plans for you. He is getting ready to do awesome things among us which some of us are experiencing already.

Proverbs 4:20-23 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.
