Summary: A Spirit-filled life activates God's possibilities in our lives
Living A Full Life
John 10:10 - The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
1. Your Helper
John 15:26 - But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
1 Thessalonians 5:19 - Do not quench the Spirit.
2. Your friend
Matthew 1:22-23 - So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name “Emmanuel," which is translated, "God with us."
3. Your teacher
1 John 2:27 - But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
4. Your power
Acts 1:8 - But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
5. Your purpose
1 Corinthians 2:12 - Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
6. Your faith
Jude 20 - But you, beloved, building yourself up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
7. Your road map
Galatians 5:16-18 - I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Without a road map you will get lost. There are too many lost Christians. We need to be led by the Spirit. Let the Spirit be your eyes, your ears, and your smell (sensitivity).
8. Your new start
Ecclesiastes 9:8 - Let your garments always be white, And let your head lack no oil.
9. Your responsibility
Ephesians 4:30 - And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
