Spirit-Filled

We cannot be filled with the Spirit 
if we are withholding obedience in any area of our life 
where we know God has given us instruction.  
To be Spirit-filled is to be Word-obedient.
To be Spirit-filled is to have all sin confessed.
To be Spirit-filled is to be completely devoid of self
and yielded completely to God.
To be Spirit-filled is to be, "Not I, but Christ."
It is commanded of every believer,
therefore every believer is capable of being Spirit-filled.
Great things happen for the Kingdom of God
when we are Spirit-filled.
The Spirit-filled wife is joyfully in subjection to her husband.
The Spirit-filled husband is joyfully giving himself up for his wife.
The Spirit-filled child is joyfully obeying his or her parents.
The Spirit-filled father is not provoking his children to anger,
but bringing them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
When we are Spirit-filled,
we are loving Jesus with our obedience.
Our lives magnify Christ,
Jesus gets the glory.
Let's commit to being Spirit-filled!
