Conduit

We are conduits (a means by which something is transmitted) of all sorts of things to one another.
Luke 6:45 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. So if we are filled with worry and anxiety – that is what we will pass on to others. But if we are continually being filled with God (Eph 5:18 – but ever be filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit] – the more we have to pour out for good.
An example is my dear friend who had just listened to a great teaching and when her sister called with some family worries – my friend was able to speak life and confidence into her for prayer. Is 32 talks about us being a conduit of God for others. Is 32:1 See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice. 2 Each man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. 3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen. 4 The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
So if your desire is to help others – fill up with more and more of the Holy Spirit. John 7:37-38 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (NKJV)
