Notice again Acts 1:8 “…you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes ON you; and you will be my witnesses…”
Notice again Acts 1:8 “…you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes ON you; and will be my witnesses…”
The disciples had the Holy Spirit inthem. “And with that he breathed on them and said ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” John 20:22
But they needed an empowering by the Holy Spirit and they received it on the Day of Pentecost.
“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit… and about 3,000 were added to their number that day.” Acts 2:4, 47
“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit… and about 3,000 were added to their number that day.” Acts 2:4, 47
“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” Acts 4:31
“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” Acts 4:31
Like the early disciples, if you are truly a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit in you. He came in when you were saved.
But also like the first disciples, you need to be empowered to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
But also like the first disciples, you need to be empowered to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
In fact, we are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit:
“…understand what the Lord’s will is… be filled with the Spirit…” Ephesians 5:17-18
SO THE QUESTION IS: How are you to be “filled with the Spirit?”
If something is to be filled with any substance, it must be EMPTIED of anything that is already in it!
Empty yourself of anything and everything that does not please God.
