Have You Been Filled Afresh With God's Power?

April 26, 2024

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

Jesus—John 14:26

Two months after I surrendered my heart to Christ, I was filled with the Holy Spirit for the first time. You see, when you come to Christ, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside of you—but when you cry out to be filled by the power of the Holy Spirit, there is a fresh infilling of God’s presence to the point of overflow. This experience is critical to your walk with Christ!

In fact, Jesus said in His final words before ascending into Heaven in Acts 1:8, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

As Jesus said this, the disciples were about to bring the Gospel out into their culture—which was hostile related to the message of Christ… much like it is today. If they needed the power of the Holy Spirit to be a witness, so do we!

Friend, we can’t live the Christian life in our own strength, resolve, and will power. Christianity is meant to be lived out only in the power of the Holy Spirit! Paul said it this way in Galatians 5:22-23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…

To discover how you can invite the Holy Spirit into your life and yield to His will on a daily basis, dive into this message with me…
