  2. Flashback… Act 2:17-18 "When the last days come, I will give my Spirit to everyone. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams. In those days I will give my Spirit to my servants, both men and women, and they will prophesy.

  3. Going way back… Isa 44:3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

  11. Consider Zachariah… Luke 1:67 Now his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied.

  12. Here a break in the action…. What kind of spirit are people filled with in your house?

  13. Principle #2… Being filled with the Spirit gives you access to spiritual fruit and power for your heart and your home.

  14. Consider Jesus… Luke 4:1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

  15. Luke 4:18-19 God's Spirit is on me; he's chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor, Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, To set the burdened and battered free, to announce, "This is God's year to act!"

  16. Principle #3… Being filled with the Spirit will propel you into the life of Christ.

  17. 120 in the Upper Room… Act 2:4 And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

  18. Peter addressing the healing of the lame man… Act 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:

  19. Peter, John, and the multitude… Act 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

  20. The first deacons… Act 6:3 My friends, choose seven men who are respected and wise and filled with God's Spirit. We will put them in charge of these things.

  22. Paul confronting Elymas… Act 13:9 - 10 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, "You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right!

  23. Paul, Barnabas, and the disciples… Act 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

  30. I am now ready to live a Spirit-filled life…but before you prepare to receive… …Remember the lesson of Simon...

  31. Act 8:14-16 When the apostles in Jerusalem received the report that Samaria had accepted God's Message, they sent Peter and John down to pray for them to receive the Holy Spirit. Up to this point they had only been baptized in the name of the Master Jesus; the Holy Spirit hadn't yet fallen on them.

  32. Act 8:17-18 Then the apostles laid their hands on them and they did receive the Holy Spirit. When Simon saw that the apostles by merely laying on hands conferred the Spirit, he pulled out his money, excited,

  33. Act 8:19 and said, "Sell me your secret! Show me how you did that! How much do you want? Name your price!"

  34. Act 8:20-22 Peter said, "To hell with your money! And you along with it. Why, that's unthinkable--trying to buy God's gift! You'll never be part of what God is doing by striking bargains and offering bribes. Change your ways--and now! Ask the Master to forgive you for trying to use God to make money.

  35. A prayer for your filling… Eph 3:16-17 I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit--not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength-- that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love,

  37. Eph 3:20 God can do anything, you know--far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
