And
be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
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 (Ephesians 5:18-21).
Having
received the Holy Spirit after you’re born again, there’s a day-to-day or continual
infilling of the Spirit that you must experience in order to live the higher
life of glory to which you’ve been called. The latter part of
our opening scripture lets us know what to do to be filled with the Spirit like
this: you’ll have to speak to
yourself in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs! You’ll have to consciously
talk, sing, and make melody of the Word, in your heart, to the Lord! You’ll
have to give thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the Name
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and submit yourself to others in holy reverence.
Making this a conscious and consistent practice is how to be full of the Spirit
all the time.
When
you let the Holy Spirit work through you and you’re overflowing with His
fullness, you won’t need to try to muster boldness to say or do things. You
won’t need to try to stir up some power in the face of adversity. Whenever you open your mouth to
speak, you’ll speak the wisdom of God; words that are divinely inspired,
because you’re full of the Holy Ghost.
If you want the greater glory of God to be seen
in your life; if you want to walk in dominion over the devil, sickness,
disease, infirmities and death, then you must consciously and consistently
practice being filled with the Spirit.
Make this a personal goal from today, and the challenges that may come your way
will be walkovers for you, and nothing will be impossible unto you. You’ll be able to change hopeless
situations and walk in God’s increased glory because you’re full of the Holy
Ghost and power. Hallelujah!
