More of God means less of You or I, this is the challenge! Most of the time I don't necessarily think we need more of God, we need more obedience to God! To get closer to God we have to go His way, He first works death in us! Think about the heart like a cup of water filled to the rim, and mixed in there is some engine oil. You can't put more water in it or it will overflow. No matter how much water you dump into that cup the oil stays at the bottom. There's a lot of dead stuff in our lives that we don't get rid of and we ask God to pour the anointing in, but our heart is already filled with dead things we refuse to dump out. God is looking for a clean and empty vessel. Brokenness is a good thing, because you are being emptied and God is close to the broken hearted (Psalm 34:18
