A Treasure in Jars of Clay

Join me in prayer, my brothers and sisters. Lord, we declare, as Jesus Nevitas has just declared, that You are thrice holy. It is a privilege to be in Your courts; it is a privilege to hear Your voice; it is a privilege to be where You can touch us, where Your grace can reach our lives. Spirit of God, where You can identify our need and Your power can flow there. It is a privilege to be in a place where we can receive and experience miracles, truly living a supernatural life. Master, that is my desire: that Your Spirit would bring this word to life, that You would fill us this afternoon, and that all of us, Lord God, here may experience a supernatural life and eternity. We ask this of You in Jesus’ name.

My brothers and sisters, I direct you to 2 Corinthians, chapter 4, beginning with verse 5. Brothers and sisters, how many were here for the noon service last week? Amen. The noon service. If you were at the noon service last week, you will remember the privilege of receiving the word and ministry of the prophet. There are very few brothers and sisters who truly, I would say, hold such an office that they can be called full-time prophets of the Lord. But this is the ministry of our brother, the prophet, Pastor Emile Samule, whom we had with us last week.

And if you remember, and if you were here, we saw what might appear to be a contradiction. At the same time, we saw a man—like anyone else—a man used, I would say, incontrovertibly, as a channel of the Spirit of God. Those of us who heard the word through him and stayed to see part of the ministry could see that, glory to God, the office of the prophet is in evidence and that we were able to witness it. I loved seeing this brother, who does not know these people or this congregation, calling out people from the back, near the windows, in the farthest reaches of the sanctuary, calling them and pointing them out individually. Frankly, these were people whom even we pastors barely know. We overlook them, but God does not overlook them.

Amen.

And God sees their lives, and the Lord gave a word to this foreign man. This man is not from this church, from this country, or from this culture, yet the Lord enabled him to share a word with them. I saw evidence of this even among the brothers and sisters whom I do have the privilege of knowing. Generally speaking, the Lord spoke to them, and He spoke to them with astonishing clarity.

Well, we saw this—this demonstration of the glory of God—and at the same time we saw the scene of a man already reaching old age, afflicted by diabetes and other ailments, in so much pain that even walking was difficult for him. Fearing that his diabetic condition might affect him in the middle of his ministry, he took a little coffee and a little food to sustain himself so that he could finish his time of ministry.

I would say, what a contradiction, right? The power of God flowing so clearly—so indisputably—through this life, and at the same time, a man full of ailments. And I would say that the Lord has a good sense of humor. A week ago, the Lord placed this word in my heart, and here I am sounding a little like Kermit the Frog, one of your children’s heroes, and drinking a little tea so that I, too, can make it through this afternoon’s work. And even so, I am willing to declare, as I declared just now: Jesus is a healing God.

Amen.

Jesus is a God who sets people free, and I say it with complete sincerity and with all my heart. Jesus is a healer. He is my healer. What a contradiction, right? Actually, my brothers and sisters, it is not. Quite the opposite. Rather than being inconsistent, this is precisely how the supernatural life operates. Know this.

Brothers and sisters, the supernatural life does not mean that, at least here on Earth, we cease to be human. The supernatural life does not mean that we cease to be fragile, mortal, and capable of making mistakes. Quite the opposite. The supernatural life means that a mighty God glorifies Himself through us despite our frailty and humanity. An extraordinary God performing miracles through ordinary people. That is the essence of the supernatural life.

Or, as the word we are going to share today declares: it is the glory of God—it is the glory of Jehovah in earthen vessels. This is the church. Indeed, that is the church of Jesus Christ; moreover, that has been the church of Jesus Christ since the day of Pentecost. The essence of the supernatural life is the glory of Jehovah dwelling in and being transmitted through earthen vessels, as the word of the Lord declares.

Second Corinthians, chapter 4, verse 3: “For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. who commanded light to shine out of darkness, is the One who shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.”

The glory of God in earthen vessels. What does this mean?

First of all, my brothers and sisters, what does this mean? I have already said it, and I repeat it. My brothers and sisters, for me, as we explore the supernatural life, this is an essential truth—perhaps the essential truth. What is the supernatural life? From Genesis until the day when the saints are gathered up in Revelation, it is a manifestation of the glory of Jehovah in earthen vessels.

I would say, my brothers and sisters, that this is the theme sustaining the entire symphony of the life of God. This is the balance, the poem of our lives, the contrast, the inconsistency, and even the root of the power and the outcome of the Lord’s glory. And it is this: without exception, we are earthen vessels used as containers for the glory of Jehovah.

Now, what does that mean? It simply means this. As it declares—indeed, verse 6 makes this declaration: “For God—” and I would add this with reverence, but I believe with certainty that this is what the apostle means—the very same God, you might say, the same God who commanded light to shine out of darkness—the same God who separated the light from the darkness, the same Holy Spirit who moved over the waters.

The same God—the word is very clear here that we are not speaking of a substitute for God; we are not speaking of a shadow of God; we are not speaking of a secondary manifestation of God. Look at 1 Corinthians, chapter 12—we are speaking of the one and the same Spirit of God. Romans, chapter 8: “If the same Spirit who raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in you.” We are speaking of God.

Of that Spirit of God—infallible, eternal, incomparably beautiful, almighty, supremely loving, kind, and awe-inspiring. That God—we are speaking of the voice of many waters; we are speaking of the roses; we are speaking of the lily of the valleys; we are speaking of the hand that set the stars in their place. That God dwelling—dwelling in us.

The apostle Paul writes in this same letter, in chapter 6, “that you are the temple of the living God.” Imagine that: that God dwelling in us, living within our mortal bodies, alongside our weaknesses. Yes—that does not change. Alongside our weaknesses, our vulnerability, our mortality, and, I would say, even more importantly, sharing our connection with the human race. Because we are social beings.

Brothers and sisters, your life is joined to another life, and God knows that. Indeed, the Lord sent you and placed you—Paul declared in Acts, chapter 17, that the Lord appointed the times and the hour of your existence. And like a lightbulb in a dark hallway, the Lord placed you in a precise, strategic location, connected to a family network and a social network, and the Lord knows what that entails: our troubles, the sins within that network, its complexities, its hang-ups, and its brokenness. The Lord knows that we are connected to other lives, and do you know what? That is the point.

This is the divine plan; this is how it works, my brothers and sisters. It is precisely through this that the glory of God spreads to conquer humanity, passing from one earthen vessel to another, from one life to another. And, my brothers and sisters, we have the firstfruits of this great adventure. We have them in none other than Jesus Christ.

The Lord declares—the word declares—that Jesus is the firstfruits for those who believe. Jesus Christ in His incarnation represents this very thing: one hundred percent man, one hundred percent God. Subject, the word declares, to the same temptations and the same limitations to which we are subject, yet without sin. And filled with the Spirit of God. And the Lord insisted to His disciples: do not dare begin your ministries. Do not dare take a single step until you, as earthen vessels, have first been filled with the Holy Spirit.

And on that day, in the upper room—in Acts, chapter 2—it was not the beginning of a religion; it was the beginning of an entirely different kind of human race, an entirely different species of humanity. Jesus taking the first step and us following Him like Him—following this beautiful pattern of human beings who are one hundred percent human, filled with something that is one hundred percent divine, one hundred percent powerful, one hundred percent God.

That word, that word Christian, is much more—it represents much more than merely an expression of your religion. It does much more than identify you as a Christian because you are not a Buddhist or a Muslim. That name, Christian, was applied to the church by people who observed us.

The Greeks called the first disciples—the first followers of Christ—Christians, indicating that, to them, these people were little Christs. Little Christ—you, Christian, that is what you are. You, Christian, that is what you represent. You are a reflection, an image—you are part of this divine race that the Lord is creating, called Christian. Little Christ.

So now we, too, like Him, have the privilege of indeed living in this room while serving as the dwelling place of a living God through the Holy Spirit. Now, what does that imply? First of all, what does the glory of God in earthen vessels imply? It implies, first, that our declaration should be this, my brothers and sisters: “I am clay, Lord, but You are God.”

Brothers and sisters, if you want to grow—the powerful thing about knowing these truths is that we can use them, put them into practice, to advance in the growth of God’s power in our lives. If we know how to handle the Lord’s truths, the first thing the Lord requires of us is a measure of humility, and that is not difficult, my brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters, it is important for us to know which little leg makes us limp—forgive me. It is important, and we all have one—we all have one.

And I did something, right? A Pentecostal model—okay, sorry. A gesture—is it working, can you hear me? Good. Amen.

Brothers and sisters, we should—know this, my brothers and sisters: without the work of the Holy Spirit within us, we are incapable; we are incompetent to accomplish the divine work the Lord has entrusted to us. And the Lord has entrusted a portion of the divine work to every one of us. But to fulfill the work the Lord has placed within you, we need the power of the Spirit of God.

You know, the pastor shared last week that the Lord has had him singing at midnight. Imagine our pastor at two or three in the morning, offering this song to the Lord. And do you know what? It is contagious. Because I, too, have been dwelling on that song. I want to decrease; I want to decrease so that You may increase.

My brothers and sisters, that is not merely a lovely gesture. Our pastor desires to be used more by the power of God, and there is a path to that. There is a condition—a precondition for that; there is a step, a requirement for that. For us to grow in the Lord, we must decrease. We must decrease.

Brothers and sisters, again and again—thirteen times—the phrase “filled with the Spirit” appears in the book of Acts. And the first place it appears is in the upper room, in chapter 2. They were together in one accord, praying and asking for this promise of the Holy Spirit to come upon them, and suddenly, the word says, they were “filled with the Spirit.” Again and again, this phrase appears.

The apostle Peter stands up, and the word declares that he spoke with authority, filled with the Spirit. It declares that the deacons chosen in Acts, chapter 7—that those seven men—were all filled with the Spirit. It also declares that when Stephen stood before—he had the face of an angel, and that this man was, at that moment, filled with the Spirit. It declares in Acts, chapter 10, when Peter goes and speaks with Cornelius, that this man—a Gentile, a Roman, a centurion—began to believe in Jesus Christ, and suddenly the baptism of the Holy Spirit was poured out upon that household, and Cornelius and his entire household were filled with the Spirit.

What could that mean? That phrase implies two things. For something to be filled with the Spirit, or filled with anything, it implies a container, does it not? Something—the Spirit has to fill something; He cannot fill a void, right? Something has to contain Him—that is logic. This is simple physics. And here, the container the Lord chooses to fill with the Spirit is these earthen vessels. These mortal bodies, but more than that: your life, your experiences, your weaknesses, your background, where you come from, where you are going—that is what the Lord intends to fill with the Spirit.

This also implies the following. First, the filling of the Spirit implies a container. In this case, they are the vessels of clay that the Lord fills with his glory. Do we understand? Second, that phrase, filled—to fill—implies in itself levels of fullness, doesn’t it? Because if something is filled with the Spirit, that implies, by contrast, that something else may be less full. Something may contain the Spirit, may show evidence of the Spirit, and the Spirit may dwell in a container. Yet that container may not be filled with the Spirit; do you understand that too?

Fullness implies levels of fullness. How is it graded, how is it measured? What is the key that opens the way for us to be filled with the Spirit? First, we have to empty those vessels, empty those containers to make room so that we can contain more of the Spirit. In other words, empty ourselves more of ourselves. Decrease so that you may increase. It implies levels.

And the more we grow in the Lord—the most mature Christians I know are the Christians who are most conscious of their weaknesses and of the area into which the Lord casts them. And that, ironically, makes room for more glory and more anointing. And that brings us to the second implication, which is this, my brothers and sisters: we are surrounded only, in the best of cases—in the best of cases—by vessels of clay.

We are surrounded only by vessels of clay. I am looking at the faces of a congregation; many of us—some here may have known one another for more than ten years, and some of us have known one another for more than twenty years. Others have just arrived. We have different backgrounds; we have lived—we have experienced different adventures. We have come from different places and, at the same time, you are on your way to other places, on your way to an adventure, on your way to a place that the Lord has for you; but always, at least on this earth, all that we are is vessels of clay—that and nothing more.

We are vessels of clay. And what does that imply, my brothers and sisters? Let us not judge by appearances. Amen.

I believe that one of the subthemes being heard here—which has been preached in different ways—is that the Lord, as he hears our prayers and brings revival, will bring every kind of person here. Every kind of clay, but we are all vessels that the Lord has shaped with his hand and upon which he has breathed his breath. Some educated and others not, some with money and with a house and a mortgage and a little car—and others without a penny. Some who smell good and some who do not smell so good. Every kind of vessel.

And the Lord continues telling us, just as he told Samuel: they almost overlooked David—they almost passed David over. And the Lord tells him, my boy, look at him again; I do not judge by appearances, I look at the heart. Amen.

And you know what? Perhaps the person who is sitting—you have no idea! Brothers and sisters, you have no idea of the treasure enclosed within you or within the brother or sister sitting beside you. You have no clue. You have no idea what God sees there.

Where does this phrase, vessels of clay, come from? In the ancient world, the most precious treasures—in the Jewish world of the first century—were literally kept in containers, in tall vessels made of clay, often taller than this pulpit. And they did not look like much, but treasures were hidden there.

In the year 1942, some archaeologists investigating caves in Qumran, near—in Israel, found hundreds of biblical scrolls that no eye had seen for almost two thousand years: the Book of Isaiah, the Book of Daniel—almost the entire Old Testament and other writings. Enclosed there for almost two thousand years. Why had no one discovered it before? Because no one—it had never occurred to anyone to investigate a cave. And perhaps, if they looked into that cave, they saw a wall of clay vessels—what are they good for?

Until someone looked inside those vessels and saw the treasure that was there—that was enclosed there, the revelation that was enclosed there. Brothers and sisters, that is how God sees us; there are treasures in this congregation. Many of you need to ask the Lord; perhaps you think, “I am worth nothing, I have no gift, I cannot imagine what I could add to the kingdom of God.” Brother, sister, I guarantee you that the Lord has enclosed a treasure within you.

The moment the Holy Spirit comes to you, dwells in you, invades you, there is already an eternal purpose there. Let us not underestimate—and neither, my brothers and sisters, let us underestimate—the process by which these vessels of clay are maturing so that the Lord can use them. And the word that must operate in this community of vessels of clay, this little city, beginning with the pastors, because we are vessels of clay—thank God—the word that must operate in every life here, brothers and sisters, is this: Grace. Grace. Grace.

Now, grace does not mean that we overlook sin, because that would be to belittle the very treasure of God that is within us. That is not what grace means. Grace does not mean that sinful habits, a sinful life, should not be identified, repudiated, and rejected, precisely because they diminish what you are, the treasure that you are. But at the same time, the Lord asks us to show grace to one another, because you do not see what God sees.

You have no idea what God sees. You do not see the value God sees. You don’t know. No eye has seen, no ear has heard—neither eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor has the heart begun to feel what God has prepared for those who love him. You don’t know. And this also implies something else: show yourself a little grace, did you hear?

Know that you are a vessel of clay; know that God—that you are in school. We are being trained, every one of us. Every one of us is being shaped; we are being prepared for a beautiful and eternal purpose. The apostle Paul, also in this letter, in chapter 12, at a very famous point—a crisis in his ministry—admits it. He says to him, Lord, take this thing away from me; three times I have pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me, and he has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” It is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, Paul writes, I will most gladly boast all the more in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Another way of saying, I want to decrease so that you may increase. But that brings us to the third implication: weaknesses. My brothers and sisters, the third implication of the fact that we are vessels of clay is that we are not exempt from brokenness or struggles in this world. We are not exempt. In fact, it is part of the drama. What is more, let us get used to it, because this is precisely the supernatural life.

There in verse 7 of chapter 4 it says, “But we have this treasure in vessels of clay, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us; we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed.” The fact, brothers and sisters, that you are a vessel of clay allows you to be troubled—times of tribulation will come, news will come that will shock you, challenges will come into your lives. But not distressed; distress is a condition of the mind and heart. It is a condition—it is a reaction to being troubled.

We might say that we choose to react to tribulation with distress. Distress means saying, this thing is going to finish me off, and falling into self-pity, feeling sorry for ourselves. And embracing depression as a way of life, embracing deathliness as a way of life—that is not what God wants for a child of God. As vessels of clay, we will be exposed to tribulations, but as vessels of the glory of God, we will not be distressed.

It also declares, “desperate, but not desperate.” Welcome, apostle, to the place where the water cannot be drunk today. I saw the brothers and sisters from the Federal District: “Ah, how nice that it happened to you.” Montezuma’s revenge has come here to Boston. Good for us. How many of you found yourselves at Stop & Shop yesterday, buying two or three gallons of water? That is fine; they found me there too—we were in difficulty, we had to look for fresh water. Marina told me, it is as though we were in the Dominican Republic. Welcome home—buying water.

That is fine, brothers and sisters; it was stewardship, but desperation is something else. And I commented on this to Marina: didn’t you perhaps see someone filling the car with all the water there was, their eyes—as wide as the full moon—and that was it, forget it. This was the Apocalypse coming. We are going to be poisoned; run to the mountains, now! Will Smith. And that panic—the word is panic.

The Lord—look, as vessels of clay we will be exposed to difficulties, but as vessels of the glory of God we should never experience desperation or panic. Brothers and sisters, it continues: “persecuted, but not forsaken.” And yes, that includes the United States. The brothers and sisters listening to me in countries where they have to hide their Bibles, or where calling oneself a Christian is a crime, know well what it means to be persecuted.

But I can guarantee you this: if you take that name seriously, if you take that name, Christian, seriously in Boston in the year 2010—if you take that name seriously—sooner or later in your walk, university student, in a class where Jesus is a metaphor and Christianity is a superstition; man at your workplace, where you are surrounded by men who persecute you because you believe it is an honor for a man to be faithful to his wife and an honor for a man not to take more than his employer pays him; or brother or sister surrounded by relatives, when you have been the only one in your entire family who represents what it means to be a Christian.

Brothers and sisters, sooner or later we will be persecuted for that name, but never, never, never forsaken. How could he forsake you? He lives within you; he dwells within you. He will not forsake you. “Struck down, but not destroyed.”

The time will come, the book of Proverbs says, when the righteous will fall seven times. Each time he gets back up. “Struck down, but not destroyed.” Here I am; here I am again. Brothers and sisters, it is precisely through the supernatural life, through living as a vessel of clay, that the Lord will demonstrate his glory through you. This is the covering that allows the Spirit of God to flow through you.

That is precisely the opportunity God has, not only to show you that his word is true. Brothers and sisters, do not—glory to God, there is a phrase Dr. Elden Villafania once said that stuck with me. It is one thing to study the Bible; it is another thing for the Bible to study you.

And it is in these moments of distress, in these moments of difficulty—it is in these moments of persecution, it is in these moments as vessels of clay—that the Lord studies us. And we have the opportunity to grow in the Lord; and not only that, his glory and his face and his power flow through the rules around us, and we are witnesses of the glory of God.

It is precisely through our afflictions and challenges that the supernatural glory of God is manifested. And this brings us to the final implication. Vessel of clay, know this: we are being transformed. We are being transformed day by day. In a way of which you may have no idea and may not even be conscious, but the Lord has an agenda for you. He has an agenda for you.

The Word declares in verse 18 of this chapter, “We look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are unseen.” Brothers and sisters, it is very easy to look at what is seen; it is very easy to look at these bodies that are wearing away. It is very easy to look at the bank account, at the savings account, which are subject to the economy. It is very easy to see the circumstances and not see the eternal purpose and what God is doing within you through these circumstances because, brothers and sisters, Christian who hears me, your goal must be much more than merely getting through life. Your goal must be much more than living day by day.

The Lord has made you for something greater than this. God’s purpose for you is greater than that. You have a goal. Your goal must be an eternal goal, you know? It is not merely, I get up today, let us see how things go at work, let us see how this experience goes for me... That is not enough. I pray that the Lord will awaken an eternal revelation in you and that you will know what the Lord is doing through you. Only then does your life and your experience as a vessel of clay make sense. Only then are we protected from suffering merely for the sake of suffering. No Christian lives that way; God has something.

Brothers and sisters, a day will come when all of this, and what is now unseen, will be seen, as will the result of God’s work in you—when these containers wear out, when we set them aside. When we put away the vessels of clay and, before the throne of God, the treasure that he gives is poured out, on that day, brother, sister, you will know in an instant that it was all worthwhile and what it was all for. On that day you will realize that everything was orchestrated in a poetic, perfect, divine, and deliberate—intentional—way by an eternal God dwelling within you, fulfilling an eternal purpose through you. It will all make sense in that day, in the name of Jesus! It will all make sense.

The Word declares in verse 16, “Therefore we do not lose heart; even though our outward man is wasting away, nevertheless the inward man is renewed day by day. For this light tribulation”—and compared with the glory awaiting us, all tribulations are light—“this light, momentary tribulation produces in us an ever more excellent and eternal weight of glory.”

Brothers and sisters, even according to the laws of physics, anything that fills a vessel has weight. And whatever it may be that you have inside a container, the more of that substance you add to this vessel, the heavier that vessel becomes. And the Lord is telling you that with every experience you have as a vessel of clay, with every battle won, with every decision to believe the Lord and obey Him—with every tribulation endured, with every praise lifted up in the midst of your anguish, the Lord adds a weight of glory to your vessel.

With every circumstance you survive, you may not see the weight of glory in the natural, but there is evidence; it is indeed manifested, because you do not deal with this tribulation the way you dealt with the last one. Now you are trained; now your prayers are more direct, more effective. Now your anointing is deeper—I have seen this before. The God who rescued me from the last thing has also rescued me from another. The God who healed me of this will also heal me of that.

The God who heard me last time will also hear me now. And that does much more than merely help you bear this burden. It adds weight to your vessel of clay. A weight of glory. We do not look at the things that are seen, but at those that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporary. But those that are unseen are eternal.

Let us stand, my brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters, there will be a day when we will stand before the throne of God. There will be an assembly like this one, but immeasurably greater. On that day we will put away these vessels of clay. The Word says that we will know Him as He knew us. We will also know one another as He knew us. We will recognize one another even in these vessels, because the Lord said that they will know you are My disciples because you love one another.

This love that unites us—that is what will enable me to recognize you. I will find you in the assembly before the throne of God. But no longer in these vessels; I will have the privilege of seeing what the Lord saw. We will have the privilege of seeing this beautiful transformation that God is bringing about, this metamorphosis that is taking place on this side of eternity. We will see the result of God’s work in our lives.

Perhaps the most fragile brother or sister beside you—you will see her or you will see him surrounded by an incomparable glory, indistinguishable from the angels, indistinguishable—it says that we are one degree lower—a little lower than the angels. A glory.

And every day, my brothers and sisters, because of His love for you, the Lord is adding weight to that glory. The Lord is adding weight to the work of God in you. That is what you are. That is what you are; it is an honor to be called a vessel of clay. To know that through our weaknesses we are vessels for the glory of the Lord.

It is an honor, an honor to know what God has in mind—where and how this will end. How will this end? Do you know how? The glory of Jehovah throughout His reign, and we before His throne, created in His image, created in His image, fashioned by His hand. And brothers and sisters, I do not know what you are going through, what persecution, what death, but I beg you: keep an eternal perspective, because it is worth it. It is worth it.

Glory to God. Glory to God. It is worth it! It is worth it! That day will be worth it in His presence. That moment before Him will be worth it; it will all be worth it as we are being transformed.

My brother, let us sing this chorus, this chorus that the pastor has been singing, and for that very reason, we want to be filled. Fill us, Master. And, brothers and sisters, if that means enduring an experience that is making you decrease, amen. If that means living with a weakness that compels you to decrease, amen.

If that means a reality that makes you small and causes you to decrease before Him, amen. I want to decrease so that You may increase, Lord. Glory to God.

Lord, Spirit of the Lord Jesus, behold these vessels, fragile and mortal, created in Your likeness. Lord, not one of them, Lord, not one of them is despised by You; they are precious before You. Now I ask, Lord, that Your people may often declare Your name, that Your people may often open themselves to You, and that we may often cry out to Your name: Spirit of God, fill us, fill us, fill us, fill us, fill us, fill us, Spirit of Jehovah. Fill us with Your glory.

Fill us, Master, fill us. Father, there is room for more, Lord; there is room for more. Our vessels have room for more. Lord, there is room for more in our lives. Lord, there is room for more. Jesus, there is room for more. We want more of You, Lord Jesus; what we have is not enough, Master. What we have is not enough, God.

Pour out more power; pour out more of Your grace. Pour out more of Your anointing, Lord; pour out more. Pour out more.
