John 7:38 “He who believes into Me, as the Scripture said, out of his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.”
When we abide in the anointing, the life of God within us overflows. Just as Jesus spoke of rivers of living water flowing from those who believe in Him, so the anointing causes God’s life to flow out of us to others. This overflow is not just for our benefit, but for the building up of the body of Christ and the spreading of God’s kingdom.
The overflow of God’s life occurs when we are so filled with the anointing that it cannot be contained. It spills over to those around us, bringing life, encouragement, and transformation. As we remain in the anointing, we become channels of God’s life to others. This flow of life not only enriches the church but also reaches out to the world, bringing others into the experience of God’s salvation and life.
In this way, abiding in the anointing is not just a private experience; it is meant to be a public testimony of God’s grace and love. The more we allow the anointing to flow through us, the more we become living testimonies of God’s life and His presence.
Main Points:

Consider how the overflow of God’s life is impacting those around you. Are there people you can bless with the life and love of God that has been poured into you? Spend time praying for the Lord to use you as a channel of His life to others.
