Ships are built to float on the water. In spite of their massive weight, they are able to float because of the principle of buoyancy or Archimedes’ Principle.
The buoyant force is the force exerted upon an object that is submerged in liquid.
Basically, if the weight is less than the buoyant force then the object will float. The ships contain pockets of air which is less dense than water and this will give the ship buoyancy.

However, if water gets inside the ship it will become dense and thus sink to the bottom of the sea.
How can we apply this principle to our daily lives?
Consider the air as the Holy Spirit and water the things in the world such as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16).
The more stuff from the world that you place inside your body the heavier you will become and eventually you will sink.
This is the low place in life that Satan wants you to be so that he can devour you.
When you are filled with the Holy Spirit you will float above your problems, you will walk on the water in spite of the turbulent sea and you will trample the enemies.
When you are filled with the Holy Spirit your eyes will be fixed on Jesus and you will walk by faith and not by sight.
My prayer for you today is that you will be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God.
Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us.
In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction.
Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.
You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com.
You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine.
