Be filled with the Spirit

“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”              
Ephesians 5:18(KJV)

Our opening scripture instructs us to be filled with the Holy Spirit. That should be the state where we live as believers. A state where we stay perpetually filled with the Holy Spirit. That is what God wants for us.

So if you ever notice in your life that it looks as though you are becoming stubborn and irresponsive to the things of the Spirit, and may be you are finding it difficult to obey God, there is something you must do.

You must take out some time to spend quality time praying in other tongues until you are full of the Spirit. When you are full of the Spirit, obedience becomes easy. Jesus was always full with the Spirit and also led by the Holy Spirit. (See Luke 4:1).

So if you want to be controlled by the Holy Spirit, I encourage you to spend time praying in other tongues until you come under that control. Today please take out some time to pray for yourself in other tongues and let the influence of God’s Spirit increase in you.

PRAYER
Dear Father I ask for the outpouring of your Spirit upon my life today, and I ask that my heart will be more sensitive to the control and guidance of your Spirit in Jesus Name. Amen.
