Episode notes
Be Continually Filled With The Spirit
- Being filled with the Spirit is a commanded gift we must receive continuously.
- Paul uses a Greek present passive imperative meaning 'be continually filled' because we 'leak' and need ongoing reception of the Spirit.
Does The Spirit Have You Or Do You Have It
- The decisive question isn't whether you have the Spirit but whether the Spirit has you fully.
- Paul contrasts wine 'having you' when drunk with the Spirit's possessing you when you're filled, shifting focus from possession to control.
Four Tangible Signs You Are Spirit Filled
- Clear signs of being filled with the Spirit include overcoming sin, a heart for worship, boldness to speak about Jesus, and increased aliveness.
- Ken ties Galatians 5 fruit and Acts 4:31 examples to these observable changes.
