A Spirit Filled Believer!

Why should we be a Spirit Filled Believer?
There are many who might say that we can live without the Holy Spirit's help.
We find in the Scriptures that we are to "be filled with the Spirit." (Ephesians 5:18)
In order for us to be effective as a Christian it is of the utmost importance that we are Filled and Walking in the Spirit. Others we see our lives are seeing if we are acting like the world and Satan's crowd or is there a noticeable difference. Is there anything that would cause them to be drawn to Christ by the way we live.

The question is how can we be a Spirit Filled Believer?

Three Areas In Order To Be A Spirit Filled Believer!

I. Effective Diet Of The Scriptures:
       a) Preached Word
       b) Printed Word
       c) Public Word
       d) Private Word

II. Emptying Daily Of Self (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
     Our body was given for:
       a) morality (1 Cor. 6:18)
       b) ministry (Roman. 12:1-2)
       c) marriage (1 Cor. 7)

III. Earnest Desire In Supplication
       Psalm 40:8 "I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart."

May we each day make the decision to be a Spirit Filled Believer!

Continuing In Christ,
Pastor Eric
