Pour out your oil.

There’s an urgency in me I can’t ignore.

Maybe you feel it too. That deep stirring that we are closer than ever to the return of Christ.

I believe the rapture could happen at any moment. When it does, I want to meet Jesus with nothing left unsaid, unwritten, or unoffered. I want to die empty.

Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell recently said something that has been echoing in my spirit:

“Now is the time to empty everything out. To die empty.”

That pierced me. Because I’ve wasted time.

Time was spent chasing temporary things. I gave my attention to the world’s distractions. I ran after the elusive idea of happiness the world promised but never delivered. I lived with a shallow walk when I was called to go deeper. I let my mind settle on comfort, success, and goals that had nothing to do with eternity.

But I am done with that.

Every ambition that is not for the glory of God must be surrendered. I only want what will last. I only want to live for what will echo in Heaven.

Lord, fill me with Your purpose. Let me be a vessel of Your will. Pour into me, so I can pour it all out like oil.

I think of Mary, who broke open her alabaster jar and poured out expensive perfume on the feet of Jesus. She held nothing back. She poured out what was precious because He was worthy.

“Mary then took a pound of very expensive perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.”
— John 12:3

That is what I want my life to be. A fragrance of worship. A life poured out on His feet. A sacrifice that fills the house with the evidence of love and surrender.

What if we really lived that way?
What if we poured out every word we were meant to speak, every story we were meant to write, every act of service, every truth we were called to share?

I don’t want to stand before Jesus with a list of things I could have done for the Kingdom. I want to arrive having given Him everything. Every gift. Every assignment. Every act of obedience.

This is not about guilt. It is about grace. It is about waking up in this hour and saying, “Here I am, Lord. Use me.”

Sister, if you’ve been distracted, delayed, or discouraged, don’t stay there. Start now.

Pour it out.
Die empty.

For the glory of God and the good of His Kingdom.
Because He’s coming.
