Evidence of being Spirit Filled

Ephesians 5:18-21

To be filled with the Holy Spirt is to be controlled and heavily influenced by Him.

Just as a person who ingests alcohol becomes influenced and operated by alcohol so it is with the Spirit.

“That is the alcohol talking.”

A Heart of Praise 19

Towards One another

“Brethren we have met to worship”

Brethren, we have met to worship And adore the Lord, our God Will you pray with all your power While we try to preach the Word? All is vain unless the Spirit Of the Holy One comes down Brethren, pray, and holy manna Will be showered all around

“Stand up, Stand up for Jesus”

Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross; lift high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss. From vict'ry unto vict'ry His army shall He lead, till ev'ry foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed.

“Send the Light”

4 Let us not grow weary in the work of love. Send the light! Send the light! Let us gather jewels for a crown above. Send the light! Send the light! [Refrain]

“Keep on the Firing Line”

When we get to heaven, brother, we’ll be glad, Keep on the firing line; How we’ll praise the Savior for the call we had, Keep on the firing line. When we see the souls that we have helped to win, Leading them to Jesus, from the paths of sin, With a shout of welcome, we will all march in,

A Humble Position 21

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
