God gave me the analogy of basketball fumbles to match an image to what happens when we mishandle our blessings.  When we have the ball (the blessing) in our hands and we don't know how to handle it, we are bound to fumble that blessing. When you have not been qualified or equipped with what you need to handle what it is you've been asking God for, when it's placed in your hands, you will not be ready for it.. you will then have to witness it fall into the hands of another who is ready.  When we ask God for anything, it's important to also ask God for the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding to be able to handle what it is that we're asking for. When we receive anything new, by the spirit or by the flesh, we need to make space so that we have the capacity to take on more.
