Promise and Source of Power
Learning to be filled, which means controlled and empowered by God’s Holy Spirit, is the key to spiritual victory and effectiveness for a Christian
God’s promises become all the more real to us the closer and more filled we are.
Jesus promised an abundant and meaningful life for his disciples.
Personal completeness/wholeness is described by the characteristics of the fruit of The Spirit
Galatians
The Holy Spirit is the source of Power for this kind of Christian living.
It it only when one is filled with God’s Holy Spirit that this kind of life becomes possible.
What Does It Mean To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit?
We have our initial filling when we spoke in other tongues/languages as The Holy Spirit enabled us to speak.
After this point, Jesus begins to live His life in and through us in the Power of His Spirit.
To be filled with The Spirit a very real sense means to be filled with Jesus and be abiding in Him by our obedience.
Following our initial infilling, our continuing to be filled with The Holy Spirit is described for us in
Here Paul compares being filled with The Holy Spirit to drunkenness.
This shows that the filling is basically a matter of control.
So the question to ask is: Who or what is controlling us?
A person who is drunk is controlled by the alcohol in his or her bloodstream.
He is no longer behaving normally or with self-control.
The person filled with The Spirit is controlled by Jesus and is also not behaving “normally”.
Either way the person is no longer living a life controlled by self
A spiritual Christian is one who is allowing Jesus to control his life.
Maturity is a product of time and experience coupled with our devotional life.
How Can I Be Consistently Filled With The Holy Spirit?
There are certain conditions which must be met before one can be filled with The Holy Spirit.
These conditions are ones need to be met continuously, not just once, because the filling of The Spirit is not a once-and-for-all act, but a continuing process.
Being filled with The Spirit is not the product of asking, as much as it is a product of meeting the conditions.
Condition 1: Desire.
A person must really want Jesus to control His life.
The whole of who we are must be committed to Jesus-mind, will, and emotions.
Matthew 5:
Condition 2: Surrender of Control.
A person must make the basic decision to step down from controlling his life.
We can just at where our own choices have led us versus how following him led to better lives in The Gospels.
We must let Jesus control our lives and have the use of it, before we can be filled with His Spirit.
Galatians 2:20
Condition 3: Obedient Living.
It is extremely important that we are walking/living in obedience to God’s direction and commandments.
A commitment to The Lordship of Jesus implies a commitment of our will to be obedient to Him in all things.
Our obedience is the proof of our growing love and salvation.
Condition 4: Cleansing.
God will not fill an unclean vessel.
When one sins as a Christian, we must learn to confess it to God.
This is the way God has appointed/ordained for dealing with sin in our lives.
Confession is not merely a matter of telling The Lord you are sorry for sinning, it also includes repenting (turning from sin) and trusting God for forgiveness.
The word confess means to agree with God concerning our sin.
These are the conditions for be full of God’s Spirit.
Consistently walking in The Spirit is a product of meeting the conditions day by day.
