In this sermon Empty Vessels, The Bible teaches that HUNGER is the only thing that has the ability to predetermine how much of God you will receive.  It is not great preaching, great promotion, or great programs that bring revival to a city. It is the amount of EMPTINESS that God finds. When we realize our emptiness that we first begin our journey toward God through repentance, and it is that sense of emptiness – a deep need for God – that keeps us motivated in serving Him. God’s instruction to this anonymous woman was: “COLLECT ALL THE EMPTINESS YOU CAN FIND, AND I WILL FILL IT!”. The volume of your emptiness determines the amount of your filling and your future. This woman “collected emptiness” from her neighbors – that is exactly what we do through intercessory prayer for those in our city. Our biggest problem is our diet.  We stuff ourselves on spiritual junk food, looking for a quick and easy way to experience God’s power. But God is under no obligation to feed casual nibblers!
