The NT is full of various "gauges"
When Jesus touches the bier of the dead boy that is a gauge. According to the law if someone with a nazarite vow touches death the vow is over and they have to start again. Since Jesus is our high priest and he is not of the priestly lineage but rather is a priest after the order of Melchisedek He is a nazarite. When He touches death something has to give, He was putting His entire earthly ministry on the line because of his compassion for the widow.
This "gauge" as you put it is described in the book of James where he says that: "The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working."
This should be your experience, if not, that is an indication that you are "low on oil".
