Breaking the Seal to Get the Juice
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★ALL OF you have bought concentrated juices that are packed in the can. That juice will go a long way. In order for it to go a long way, you have got to break the seal. A breaking must occur to get the juice. Most of us have used cologne or perfume. In order to get that fragrance out of that bottle, you have to break open the top. No matter how much you try to pour it out, if you do not crack open the top, all of the fragrance will stay inside and will not benefit your body. Guess what? When you come to Christ, the Scripture says that you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. But if you want your soul to benefit from it, a cracking must occur.
The point
Just as concentrated juice and perfume require breaking open their containers to release their benefits, the soul must be open and yielding to Christ to release the Holy Spirit's power.
