Then at the peril of your soul,<br \/>you take it to satisfy yourself. If you do, you cannot pour it out<br \/>before the Lord. You can never sanctify to God that with which you<br \/>long to satisfy yourself. If you satisfy yourself with a blessing<br \/>from God, it will corrupt you; you must sacrifice it, pour it out, do<br \/>with it what common sense says is an absurd waste. <\/p>\n<p>How am I to pour out unto the Lord natural love or spiritual<br \/>blessing? In one way only &#8211; in the determination of my mind. There<br \/>are certain acts of other people which one could never accept if one<br \/>did not know God, because it is not within human power to repay them.<br \/>But immediately I say &#8211; This is too great and worthy for me, it is<br \/>not meant for a human being at all, I must pour it out unto the Lord,<br \/>then these things pour out in rivers of living water all around.<br \/>Until I do pour these things out before the Lord, they endanger those<br \/>I love as well as myself because they will turn to lust. We can be<br \/>lustful in things which are not sordid and vile. Love has to get to<br \/>its transfiguration point of being poured out unto the Lord.  <\/p>\n<p>If you have become bitter and sour, it is because when God gave you a<br \/>blessing you clutched it for yourself; whereas if you had poured it<br \/>out unto the Lord, you would have been the sweetest person out of<br \/>heaven. If you are always taking blessings to yourself and never<br \/>learn to pour out anything unto the Lord, other people do not get<br \/>their horizon enlarged through you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; out unto the Lord. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8212; 2 Samuel 23:16 What has been like water from the well of Bethlehem to you recently &#8211;love, friendship, spiritual blessing?
