Seven Powerful Benefits of a Life in Overflow

1. Synergistic Solutions

A believer in overflow, working on a team, is catalytic for new ideas, creative works, and solutions to intractable problems. Because he or she carries the presence of God, the Holy Spirit is free to reveal heavenly plans, blueprints, and ideas through the ordinary day-to-day interactions in our workplaces.

2. Extraordinary Divine Appointments

One committed to abiding in Christ becomes a focal point for the Lord to steer others into our paths, even as we go about our daily tasks. Because we are carriers of His presence, He brings people to us so that they can benefit from God's presence in us.

3. Timely Revelation

When we abide in Christ, revelation from God becomes normal. We become "naturally supernatural." God can reveal Himself to us at any time and in many ways: a sudden, strong awareness of His presence; unlooked-for insights into problems; impressions or hunches that prove to be highly intuitive and accurate.

4. Sovereign Ordering of Time

When we abide in Christ, and His words abide in us, He begins to do amazing things with our time—He economizes our schedules and calendars. We discover that we are moving in divine rhythms throughout the day—everything just seems to flow with ease, there is grace for our work, and no striving.

5. Grace that Supersedes our Skill and Ability

A project suddenly comes together. You figure out something you knew nothing about. You get a flash of insight to a situation. Because of the grace that comes to one in overflow, you discover that an intimidating workload miraculously takes half the time.

6. Empowering Ministry to Others

As we dwell in God's presence, even during a super busy day or a packed schedule, we find we have ample time to pause and unhurriedly minister to another's needs. Because we abide in His presence, we move in rest. When we are in overflow, everyone around us gets blessed!

7. Unbelievable Answers to Prayers

Carriers of God's presence become reservoirs of healing and restoration for others, especially through our prayers. Because we are fully "in Christ," our prayers are not only heard, but quickly answered. As we abide in Christ, our prayers have power to alter the present and define the future.
