Zero Sum/Plus Sum

Potential Energy, is energy bound up, waiting for a chance to transform in to kinetic energy.

Kinetic Energy, is energy in use, in application.

A scarcity mentality says that there is only so much out there and it must be buried in the soil.

An abundance mentality says that there is more than enough for all and it must be shared and thereby multiplied.

Joel prophesied, that God would “pour out His Spirit on all flesh”.

Jesus in Acts chapter 1 told His Disciples, “to wait here until you be endued with power.” (Potential).

Acts 2:1-4 “1- And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2- And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3- And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4- And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

Then they immediately began to transform that Potential Holy Ghost power/energy into Kentic (action/application) energy:

Acts 2:41 “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”

"With Him the calf is always the fatted calf; the robe is always the best robe; the joy is always unspeakable; and the peace passes understanding. There is no grudging in God’s goodness. He does not measure His goodness by drops like a druggist filling a prescription. It comes upon in floods. If only we recognize the lavish abundance of His gifts, what a difference it would make in our lives!" - Haddon Robinson

"The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car ... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little."

As the song says:

You are my strength when I am weak, You are the treasure that I seek,

When I fall down You pick me up, When I am dry You fill my cup

You are my all in all, Worthy is Your name.
