STAY FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT AND LIVE IN THE WORD
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… and have been all made to drink into one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13).
Many sing, “Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord, come and quench this thirsting of my soul; bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more….” Such a song, however religious, is born out of complete ignorance of God’s Word. First, the Lord Jesus is the Bread of Heaven. He said in John 6:35, “…I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”
Also, in Matthew 4:4, He said, “…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Therefore, when you received Jesus Christ, when you were born again, you received the true “Bread” from heaven. You received the One who satisfies. Secondly, when you received the Holy Ghost, you received the “drink” that quenches the thirst of every soul.
Our opening scripture says, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:13). This means you not only receive the Spirit, you drink the Spirit. He’s God’s answer to the thirst of the human spirit. The question, therefore, is, why are many still thirsty and singing, “Come and quench this thirsting of my soul,” having received the Holy Spirit?
If you’re thirsty, drink of the Spirit. In other words, be filled with the Spirit! You’re supposed to be constantly filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18-21 tells you how; read the entire reference. Staying filled with the Spirit and living in the Word is the answer. It’s the best life.
That’s how you dominate sickness, failure, lack, and the circumstances of life. That’s how you walk over and above Satan, his cohorts, and their corrupting influences. That’s how to live in the reality of divine supply and spiritual satisfaction.
Don’t cry for what you already have. Stay drunk with the Spirit. Keep living in the Word. That’s where your glory is; your results will keep increasing, and you’ll walk in blessings only. Hallelujah!
PRAYER / CONFESSION
Dear Father, thank you for the Lord Jesus Christ, the Bread of Heaven, and for the Holy Spirit, who satisfies my soul. As I drink of the Spirit continually and stay in the Word, my life is refreshed, strengthened, and established in divine supply and supernatural results, 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!”
