Be Filled With The Spirit

Be Filled With The Spirit

Ephesians 5:18 AMP: Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), BUT BE filled WITH THE [HOLY] SPIRIT and CONSTANTLY GUIDED BY HIM.
Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not for Pastors and Preachers. It is not for some Christians and not for some. It is for every born again believer. You cannot be born again without the Holy Spirit. You cannot live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, you are just an ordinary natural human being. It is the Holy Spirit that produces the divine life and nature in us. So we are instructed in our opening verse to be constantly filled with the Holy Spirit and be guided by Him. The best example of being filled with the Holy Spirit is the sail on a boat. The ancient boats never had an engine. They were driven by winds. They would mount the sail vertically on the boat and the boat will move as a result of the sea winds filling the sail and pushing the boat forward. So the winds were actually driving & controlling the movements of the boat. Jesus said in John 3:8 *”The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”* So everyone who is born again must be filled with the Holy Spirit and be yielded to Him to allow Him to control and guide your life. It is surrendering the steering wheel of your life to God by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you. Many believers are still controlled by the anger, desires, self-will, attitudes and personal emotions. This will definitely limit your life as your life will be rising and falling. You have to lay down your self-life and be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is the secret to a Victorious, overcoming, successful Christian life with consistent prosperity. So be filled with the Holy Spirit for without the Him, you can do nothing.
