Dare To Dream Again

There are areas that we try to keep God out of. When we allow Him to fill us with His Spirit, what we are doing is simply this. We open all the doors of our hearts to Him. Every room. Even the dirty closets. The messy bedrooms. The anger. The hurts we endure. The forgiveness that has not been granted. The grudges we hold. This morning, let it be your time. Let God’s Spirit fill you.

What God wants to do in us is this. He wants to fill our Spirits to overflowing. IF you have heard of being baptized in the Holy Spirit, this is what that means. To be overflowing with His Spirit. To have His Spirit, His living waters flood your life and be overflowing out. There are different evidences of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. One of which is what is referred to as speaking in unknown tongues. Another evidence is having the ability to share your faith in ways a new boldness and power. The ability to operate in power of the Holy Spirit and use your spiritual gifts (which everyone has at least one of). That’s the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

If you have never experienced the overflow of God’s Spirit within you, you’ll get that chance today. Let God’s Sprit not only come into your heart, let it overflow in you.

Let’s stand and pray this morning.

Pray…

Heads bowed and eyes closed…

Whether you invited Him into your life today, or you have done it fifty years ago, all of us need to be overflowing with the Holy Spirit. All of us. God wants to empower you to be used by Him mightily, but He needs not some of your heart, but all of it. Not some of your actions, all of it. Not some of you, but all of you.

We will close service with a worship song to lift up to the Lord. But this morning, we are going to do something a little different. First I’m going to invite up Arthur, Sibi, and Brenda. If you are here, and you are saying, “I need to be filled with God’s Spirit. I want my cup to be overflowing.” As our worship team plays, I invite you . Come forward to the altar to be prayed for. If you are saying you want to be overflowing with the Holy Spirit today, take a step of faith. While we are closing in worship, step forward and be prayed over.

After the song, you can move into the office for a time of fellowship[, but let me encourage you, step forward for God this morning.
