I want my lamp to be completely full and have extra, how do I do this? I want to be full and overflowing?

A full lamp is one that is filled with His living Word. If you haven't already, set aside the first part of each day to renew the "oil" of His Word in your heart and mind. Prayerfully seek His wisdom and guidance for each day, and keep your focus on Him.
Submit your will totally to the Holy Spirit.
Be as a "Mary" not a "Martha."
Then you will be full and ovrflowing.

Remember "but grow in the grace and knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 3:18
James Kraft
Oil has always been synonymous with the Holy Spirit. All those that have put their trust in Christ for salvation have the oil, the Holy Spirit of promise living in them. Those that have trusted Christ have been sealed unto the day of redemption.
That is why Jesus said in John 6:44 No man can come to me, unless the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up on the last day. Those who have accepted Christ as their Savior have the Holy Spirit of promise. (the oil)

Jesus mentioned the fig tree. The fig tree represents Israel and on May 14 1948 they became a nation again. Jesus says this generation will not pass away untill all these things happen. Mark13:28-31. We are seeing a convergence of Bible prophecy like never before. I have noticed personally that time had accelerated and will continue to get faster even though we still have the same amount of hours but it is still speeding up. Mathew 24:22..This a time that the apostles wanted to live and we where chosen to see it happening. We will see the Holyspirit pour out upon all flesh and the greatest harvest of souls ever.Joel 2:28 Acts 2:18 This is an awesome time to be serving the Lord Jesus Christ and being led by His Holyspirit.
