Exposition
Author: Paul
Audience: All the Saints
Content: The church has been built together to exist as a dwelling place for the Spirit.
Context: We are built up by God as one body that collectively gives glory to God.
Comparison:
Application
The Holy Spirit is given to the whole church.
The Holy Spirit works powerfully among the gathered saints.
After Peter’s arrest in Acts 12:.
The Holy Spirit causes all awakening and revival.
How can we be filled with the Spirit?
The Holy Spirit does not confuse speech.
So we do not misinterpret what it means to be “filled with the Spirit,” we must strike down modern Pentecostalism.
Continue reading in Acts chapter 2:
In Ephesians 5 we are told to be filled with the Spirit, I don’t want to rob from that Sunday’s message, but there is an image that should be called to mind by this word “filled.”
The literal meaning of the GNT is that we are supplied with the Spirit.
We deny ourselves self-centered pleasures, replace those carnal urges with the urging of the Spirit, and build the church, proclaiming the Word to one another with Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs.
The filling we are speaking of is not a glass being filled with water.
The glass remains the same.
Instead, picture a ship floating in the water, moved to and fro by the waves of the ocean.
But then the sails are raised and the wind FILLS the sails.
The Holy Spirit is nowhere in scripture described as an experience for the individual believer, but always accompanies an evangelistic movement of God.
This is not a sign of being filled with the Spirit, this is a sign of being led to a doctrine of God serving man.
The Holy Spirit does not condone sinfulness.
The Holy Spirit does not contradict scripture.
We don’t get to say “I feel like God wants...”
God’s Word speaks for itself.
As Paul exhorted the Romans, “Let God be true though every one were a liar...”
How to be Spirit Filled

Recognize the presence of the Spirit.
Seek to glorify your Savior in your words and actions.
Strive to walk in increasing righteousness.
Sanctify your inner thoughts.
Pray for sensitivity to the Spirit’s direction.
