Being filled with the Holy Spirit.

Each week we are looking at one of 6 Keys to Christian Growth. The second key is being filled with the Holy Spirit.

Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is God — here on earth, in an invisible form. How can we be filled with the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit comes and lives in us when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. We can then ask God to fill us and control us and empower us with His Holy Spirit each and every day.

What difference does this make? Without God in your life in the person of the Holy Spirit, you could end up trying to live the Christian life just on your own efforts. With the Holy Spirit in your life, God Himself can live His life through you. This means that God the Holy Spirit can give you His peace, and love, and joy. You can ask Christ to flow through you and give you His attitudes, and replace your sinful thoughts with His presence.

Think how amazing this is! We, who are sinful, are forgiven by God through death of Jesus Christ. Then, God Himself will come and fill our lives with His Holy Spirit as we ask Him to!

So, this week, can you join us and let’s pray and ask God to

• Forgive us our sins
• Fill us and control us with His Holy Spirit each and every day
• Help our staff at Global Media Outreach always be clean before God and filled with His Holy Spirit

The Spirit filled life is the key to a joyful, victorious Christian life. Thank you so much for your prayers. Let us join together and ask God to shine the light of His love through our lives through the power of His Holy Spirit.

May God bless you,
