  1. Kim May, Sr. Pastor April 6, 2014

  2. Acts Series, Week #12 “Filled Again” Acts 4:23-31

  3. “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:19-20)

  4. God works His sovereign will despite what man says or does.

  5. Man proposes; God disposes. (Thomas a Kempis)

  6. Sovereignty means God’s will overrides all circumstances, revealing His goodness in the worst of all agonies, even the death of Christ.

  7. “…All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit…” (Acts 2:4)

  8. As a runner depletes physical energy through the loss of water and needs re-filling, so a Christian who expends spiritual energy needs revitalizing absorption of the Holy Spirit.

  9. What the soul is in our body, the Holy Spirit is in the body of Christ, which is the church. (Augustine)

  10. The New Testament church had minute, intellectual knowledge of the Holy Spirit, but a mighty, experiential knowledge of the Holy Spirit. Conversely, today’s church has a considerable knowledge of the Holy Spirit, but a minuscule experience of the Holy Spirit.

  11. Many are not desperate for the Holy Spirit because they don’t believe they need Him.

  12. “Be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18)

  13. “Be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18) Present = Action, now & continuously

  14. “Be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18) Present = Action, now & continuously Passive = Holy Spirit works in us and through us

  15. “Be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18) Present = Action, now & continuously Passive = Holy Spirit works in us and through us Imperative = A command, not an option

  16. “Be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18) Present = Action, now & continuously Passive = Holy Spirit works in us and through us Imperative = A command, not an option Summary: We are commanded to let the Holy Spirit move upon us continually.
