Title: Power of living
-
Eph 5:18
- we are built to depend on the invisible source (the Holy Spirit)
- we are not designed to work on our own
- Without the fuel in the jet-ski, the jet ski will not be able to function and work. Similarly, in our life the Holy spirit is the fuel for us to live a meaningful and effective life
Misconceptions1) I am a christian and therefore I am filled with the spirit
- Having the Holy Spirit in you, doesn't mean that you are filled with it
-
Eph 5:18-20 : Paul is speaking to christian that wasn't filled the holy Spirit
2) I went to the Encounter Retreat, my leader prayed for me and therefore I am filled with the Holy Spirit
- we need to be filled by the holy Spirit continuously daily
_____________________________
- Romans 6:16: being Holy Spirit filled is a commitment
- Obey God to the fullest extent possible by letting the holy Spirit take absolute, complete total change of my life
- We cannot only let the Holy Spirit to filled parts of our life, but the whole life
1) Refuse to walk in the flesh
- Gala 5:16-17
- sin in our life actually clot up the avenue inwhich God want to pour down His anointing on us
a) Do not let sin reign anymore in our life
- confess and do not look back
- Romans 6:12-14-
- spiritual coma: Not filled by the Holy Spirit and just simply going with he current that the church is doing
_____________________________
I) You need to be grounded firmly in Christ
- John 15:4
II) Meditate on the word of God
- Psalm 1:2-3
III) Ask God to fill you continually
- Eph 5:12
_____________________________
B) To crucify the flesh
- Identify areas in which you need to crucify
C) keep your eyes on the promise rather than the circumstances
