Pastor Rod Parsley: ‘Be Open and Filled’ with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). You are God’s vessel; let His anointing flow freely to others.

…be filled with the Spirit.

– Ephesians 5:18

You are a vessel-God’s vessel-like a blood vessel in your body. Blood vessels do not produce blood. The marrow manufactures the blood and the vessels carry it.

In the same way, you don’t produce the anointing-the anointing comes from the Holy Spirit inside you. You just carry the anointing to the places and people that need it most.

That is why you need a Spirit-led life. The energy to do the things of God flows out of the spiritual source within.

Jesus said, “Whoever believes in me.streams of living water will flow from within him” (John 7:38).

In yourself, you cannot produce the energy needed to work the things of God-that comes from God’s Spirit. When you are given this energy, you must get rid of every bit you have by letting it flow out of you to a depraved and destitute humanity.

A clogged blood vessel is not a healthy vessel. It has to pour out its life source to stay healthy.

The same is true of you-you need to release the anointing inside you and spread it to everyone around you.

That is why the Bible said, “These signs will accompany those who believe” (Mark 16:17).

God wants you to keep your vessel open.

Lord, keep me open and yielded as Your vessel, that the anointing of Your Spirit may flow freely through me to bring life, healing, and hope to those in need. May I never be clogged with fear or selfishness, but always poured out for Your glory. Amen!

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.

Pastor Rod Parsley on Luke 4:18: The Spirit of the Lord empowers believers to continue Jesus’ ministry and do even greater works through the Holy Spirit.

Posted on May 1, 2025 by Worldwide Prayer Point

The Spirit of the Lord is in me.

Luke 4:18

In His first sermon, we learn what Jesus’ ministry was all about.and how He wants us to follow in His footsteps.

Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind.release the oppressed.proclaim the favorable year of the Lord’s favor” (Luke 4:18-19).

Here at the beginning of proclaiming the Good News and praying for healing, Jesus recognized the anointing of God was on His life. What was the source of that anointing? “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.”

You and I need to recognize when the Spirit is upon us-anointing us-to do GOD’s bidding. God’s Spirit is in you, waiting to be released. “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever-the Spirit of truth, he lives with you and will be in you” (John 14:16-17). He left us a Counselor to guide us in this life.

That is why Jesus said, “Anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these” (John 14:12). Because we have been filled with the Holy Spirit, we can do anything in His name.
