SPIRIT FILLED LIFE 1
"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit"
Ephesians 5:18 (KJV)
Main Text:
Apostle Paul admonishes us to be filled with the Spirit. This right here is the most important commandment for the New Testament church because it empowers you to fulfill other commandments effortlessly. You might wonder "didn't Jesus command us to Preach the gospel to all creation" isn't that more important? Yes this is important, but to be filled with the Spirit is more important, because when you obey this commandment of being filled with the Spirit, you automatically fulfill or obey other commandments effortlessly. You will love easily, you preach easily, your life will become a wonder to your world. The fullness of the Spirit will settle all that concerns you.
This commandment was not given to a carnal church, it was given to the church at Ephesus and they were one of the most spiritual churches, yet Apostle Paul admonished them to be filled with the Spirit. If this was necessary for the Ephesian church, then it is necessary for us today. The Holy Spirit desires to have control of every area of your life, and if you allow him to, the success you are bound to have will be such as have never been seen before.
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9 (KJV)
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
