Spirit-Filled Lifeનમૂનો

Let’s look at Jesus when He was filled with the Holy Spirit. He is the best example of what walking in the Holy Spirit looks like. Christ attended the local revival led by His relative, John. He went to get baptized there, not just to observe from a distance, and while being baptized, Jesus prayed. So how can one be filled with the Holy Spirit?


Being filled with the Holy Spirit is about staying, obeying, and praying. As Jesus remained faithful to what God was doing in His community, He obeyed the Father by fulfilling all righteousness, and He prayed.

You get filled with the Holy Spirit in some way the same you get drunk. Nobody gets drunk because alcohol decides to make them drunk. To get drunk, you have to drink. Paul tells us to be filled with the Holy Spirit, not to wait for the Spirit to fill us.

In other words, it depends on you; it is a command and an ongoing action. To be filled with the Holy Spirit you must get into the secret place and open your mouth—worship, pray, confessing God’s Word.

The Holy Spirit is ready to be poured out if you activate your faith and open your mouth. This filling of the Holy Spirit is ongoing. Like drinking, you don’t stay drunk all your life. You can’t stay filled; you have to keep being filled.

When you drink from the Spirit of God, your attitude will change, your speech will be affected, and you will take on the personality of Jesus.

Let’s pray:

Holy Spirit, help draw me to the secret place to be with You so I can be filled with Your Spirit.
