When You Allow Your Oil to Be Drained

Every leader carries oil.
Oil is your anointing.
Oil is your strength.
Oil is your wisdom.
Oil is your time.
Oil is your emotional capacity.
Oil is your finances.
Oil is your spiritual covering.

And oil is costly.

In this powerful and transparent episode, Pastor Carlos speaks to the silent struggle of leaders who have poured until they were empty. The ones who carried others through crisis while bleeding in private. The ones who confused love with obligation and sacrifice with self destruction.

This episode exposes the difference between pouring and being drained.
Between discipleship and dependency.
Between covering and carrying.

You will learn how to recognize when your oil is leaking.
How to set godly boundaries without losing compassion.
How to protect your assignment without hardening your heart.

This is a word for pastors, mentors, parents, caregivers, and servants who are tired of burning out while trying to save everyone else.

If you have ever felt exhausted from giving too much to the wrong places, this episode is for you.

Your oil matters.
Your calling matters.
Your peace matters.

And God never called you to be empty.

Sometimes the hardest part of healing isn’t the pain, it’s the transition. It’s grieving the version of you that endured so much. In this teaching, I share why God invites us to mourn the old self, honor its journey, and embrace the new creation rising within us.

In this episode of Selah Sessions, Pastor Carlos opens a conversation many believers know well. The waiting room of God. That place between promise and fulfillment where faith is tested, patience is stretched, and character is shaped.

Join this sacred pause as we explore why God allows seasons of waiting, how He works behind the scenes, and what He forms in us when life feels still. Through biblical truth, prophetic insight, and honest reflection, you will learn to see waiting not as delay but as divine preparation.

If you feel stuck, overlooked, or unsure of what God is doing, this message will breathe strength into your spirit. God has not forgotten you. He is shaping you.

Selah. Pause. Listen. Lean in.
