How does a pressure washer work? The water comes in full running force from the faucet to the end of the regular-sized hose. The first part of the attachment for a pressure washer has a smaller diameter tube to build up pressure. There is a pressure valve after that tube which releases the built-up pressure through yet another much smaller diameter and longer tube, so it can force the water out even at a higher pressure to clean up where you are aiming the spray.
My spirit did a little leap within me when I heard the information about how a pressure washer worked. I thought about our narrow path and how much narrower it is getting as time marches on to the prize that is set before us and the glory that awaits us. I thought about the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives…..that He came to give us POWER to do His work.
We have control of that valve. The force and speed at which the Holy Spirit will flow from us we obviously cannot comprehend. God’s Spirit (the faucet) is flowing to us (the big hose) and through us at all times. He says that we should have springs of Living Water within our souls (the narrow attachment) that should flood out over all those around us.
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
We have control of that valve. Are we letting the cares of this world keep that valve shut? Are we letting the pride of life keep that valve shut? Open that valve to the Holy Spirit everyday so we can affect everyone and everything we come in contact with. It’s about His power flowing through us. It’s about us opening that valve to let His power flow. We are responsible for affecting those around us. Let the River flow.
