Be Filled

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:17-18

If you have been born again in Christ, you can receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. All you need to do is ask Him for His infilling. I have found there can be many refillings or fresh anointings of the Holy Spirit.

Smith Wigglesworth knew what it was to feel the fire of God burning in his bones—fire that caused him to preach the Gospel of Christ with boldness, fire that gave him the confidence to declare a thing and expect it to come to pass.

Set ablaze with the fire of the Holy Spirit, he impacted the world with the power of God and brought thousands to faith in Christ.

When we examine the life of the early church, we find that many believers also had a deeper, subsequent experience of the Holy Spirit. Such is the desire of the Father for every believer.

That is the reason to celebrate Pentecost. Just as the hearts of the apostles were set ablaze on that day, so He wants to set you aflame with His fire.

God will fill you to overflowing, as you ask Him in faith.
