"Mark O. Wilson's Filled Up, Poured Out is an easy-to-read, engaging treatise that encourages and challenges Christian leaders to take their faith more seriously in a day when "playing church" and experiencing "ministry burn-out" are epidemic. Wilson's uncommon love for Jesus shines brightly through every chapter."

"This is what the church of Jesus Christ has been waiting for -- a 21st century call, challenge and model of Holy-Spirit-empowered living that transforms people and communities. This book is a change agent for the church of the second decade of the 21st century."

Filled Up, Poured Out Summary

2012-02-17T14:36:00.003-06:00

Thirsty people are looking to the church for fountains of life-giving water. Too often, they find leaky buckets instead. Pastors, often running on empty themselves, are enticed by the latest fad rather than seeking to serve in the power of the Spirit. And thirsty people walk away empty, convinced the church has nothing unique to offer.

Pastor Mark Wilson says it's time for the church to rise up in the power of the Holy Spirit to serve this present age. In Filled Up, Poured Out, he challenges and inspires fellow pastors to prepare their hearts to be filled with the Holy Spirit, so that they can in turn pour out God's presence, promise, peace, and power in their congregations and communities.

Filled with personal, inspirational stories from Mark's experience with growing a thriving congregation in a Wisconsin northwoods town, this book will inspire you to seek the replenishing waters of God's Spirit and show you the pathway to revival for your parched soul.

"Spoiler Alert! Readers of this new book, "Filled Up, Poured Out" are likely to have their spirits revived and hearts refreshed. Rarely have I found a book where the title AND subtitle so accurately described my experience as a reader.

Mark is personal, vulnerable, refreshing, and timely in his passion for those who serve in ministry leadership to be encouraged of heart, passion, and purpose. Instead of depending on "yesterday’s grace", Mark urges us to preach, pray, lead, and love through the overflow of holy love. This book is not just well written, it is well "filled up and poured out," I strongly recommend it."　

---　Dr. John Jackson, President of William Jessup University

Below you will find the table of contents for Filled Up, Poured Out: How God's Spirit Can Revive Your Passion and Purpose, which will be released March 15. You will notice three parts with Latin titles: Vacuus means "empty or devoid of". Repleo means to replenish, fill up or satisfy", Fluo means "to flow, pour or stream."

Notice the parallels between the Filled Up and the Poured Out: Presence, Promise, Peace and Power -- and yet how the outflow differs from the inflow of the same stuff.

Serve in the Overflow of God's Love

2012-02-03T15:08:00.000-06:00

Thirsty people are looking to the church for fountains of

life-giving water. Too often, they find leaky buckets instead.

Pastors, often running on empty themselves, are enticed

by the latest fad rather than seeking to serve in the power

of the Spirit. And thirsty people walk away empty,

convinced the church has nothing unique to offer.

Pastor Mark O. Wilson says it’s time for the church to rise

up in the power of the Holy Spirit to serve this present

age. In Filled Up, Poured Out, he challenges and inspires

fellow pastors to prepare their hearts to be filled with the

Holy Spirit, so that they can in turn pour out God’s

presence, promise, peace, and power on to their

congregations and communities.

Filled with personal, inspirational stories from Mark’s

experience with growing a thriving congregation in a

Wisconsin Northwoods town, this book will inspire you to

seek the replenishing waters of God’s Spirit and show you

the pathway to revival for your parched soul.

Lareau Lindquist Endorsement

2012-01-12T09:33:00.000-06:00

"I heartily endorse this book, Filled Up, Poured Out. It is well-written.

Three summary statements come to mind :
(1) It is filled with Scripture, so it is His Word, more than only his word.
(2) It has a lot of one-line quotes, sprinkled throughout the book. These quotes come from dozens of men and women. Some come from past history and some are current.
(3) It makes use of many personal illustrations from Pastor Wilson's life and ministry.

The book has warmed my heart. It has stirred my soul. It will bless and encourage readers everywhere."

-- Lareau Lindquist, Co-founder, Barnabas International

"This is a wonderfully engaging text that grabs the reader's attention with the first paragraph. And it is much more than just another volume in the genre of devotional literature. Wilson writes in the grand tradition of Wesleyan spirituality that begins with John Wesley himself."
-- Dr. Ruth Tucker, Church Historian, bestelling author of several books, including From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya, and Parade of Faith.

"Every pastor and other spiritual leaders should read this refreshing book. The greatest problem we repeatedly face is leading without spiritual power. All of us have been there, are there now, or will be there sometime in the future. Mark has addressed this problem face on and shares a solid, practical, theological means of defeating this enemy. Readers will truly discover how to revive their passion and fulfill their God-given purposes."
-- Nolen Rollins, Founder & President of Kingdom Mobilization, Lead Pastor/Coach Legacy Church, Estero, FL
