Walking in the power of the Spirit
Read the following passages and then consider the questions at the end.
John 7:38-39, “The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.’ 39 He said this about the Spirit. Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit, for the Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.”
John 16:7, “Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send him to you.”
1 Corinthians 3:16, “Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?”
1 Corinthians 6:19, “Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,”
1 Corinthians 12:13, “For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body — whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free — and we were all given one Spirit to drink.”
Ephesians 5:18, “And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless living, but be filled by the Spirit”
1 John 5:14-15, “This is the confidence we have before him: If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked of him.”
You receive the Holy Spirit at salvation but are commanded to be continually filled with Him on an ongoing basis. God promises to give you whatever you ask according to His will. Since this is His will, ask Him to fill you with His Spirit every time you think of it and then allow Him to empower you for His will by faith! He will empower you for all He calls you to.
