SPIRIT FILLED LIFE 2

"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." (NIV) John 16:13

You might wonder, why must I be filled with the Spirit? There are two basic reasons and they are expressed in one word, Power. Power over sin and Power in service. Scripture tells us we are victorious primarily because of the finished work of Christ Jesus, however, this does not become a reality in your life until you are Spirit filled. Romans 8:37 "In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us."  (CEV). Galatians 5:16 "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." (KJV). It is only as you are filled with the Holy Ghost that you overcome your besetting sin, the Spirit makes you a victorious Christian. The Christian life is the out living of the indwelling Christ. Power in service basically means to do the work of God effortlessly. Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (NLT). God desires to use you for His glory, He wants you to be the hope to your generation, he desires that you lead many to the commonwealth of Zion, however, the only way to do this effectively, is to be filled with the Spirit. 

Confession: The Greater One abides within me, I am of God therefore I overcome. 

Prayer: My life remains in Christ and no demon can pollute my spirit in the name of Jesus
