ALWAYS FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).
It’s God’s desire that you live continually filled with the Spirit, and the Bible tell us how in the ensuing verses 19 to 21 of our opening scripture: “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.”
How profound that He’d list for us what we’re to do in getting ourselves perpetually filled with the Spirit! It’s up to you to put this into practice every day in your personal life. It’ll keep you above agitation, fear, and worry. Those who aren’t often filled with the Spirit are easily troubled and uneasy, looking for someone to blame or somewhere to vent their frustrations.
But when you live full of the Spirit, you remain joyful, peaceful, and at rest. You don’t struggle; your faith prevails. You function from a place of divine supply, strength, and wisdom.
Every day, stay continually stirred, stimulated, and spiritually minded. It’s your responsibility to remain in that atmosphere. There, everything is permanent, unshaken, and eternal. From that realm, you govern circumstances and rule over life’s situations. You’re constantly aglow and afire by the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah!
Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for the blessing of being continually filled with the Spirit. I maintain the glow of the Spirit in my life as I walk in the consciousness of your righteousness, glory, beauty, excellence, and eternal life within me. I live from the realm of the Spirit and dominate my world with your power and glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
If you’re blessed by this devotional, believing every word you heard by faith in your heart, and would love to make Jesus the lord of your life, then speak the confessions below out loud, and mean them with your heart:
“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”
