May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Topic: FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD
Acts 4:8-10, 13-14 King James Version (KJV)
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Beloved, as a Christian, a true follower of Jesus, you should be bold in your approaches with respect to issues concerning Jesus. You shouldn't be timid or shy or anything. Be strong willed and passionate for the Lord to defend truth and grace anywhere.
Beloved the only way to be bold and to be able to approach every and any situation without fear or shyness is to be filled with Precious Holy Spirit.
Until you are filled with the Spirit of God, you would always be hiding and running away from approaching issues concerning Jesus or doing the work of God publicly.
*To be filled with the Spirit of God is not just having the Spirit in you, but, having Him in you and He manifesting fully in you and through you.*
So the Spirit of God in you, takes control of you and uses you for the purposes of the Kingdom to the glory of God.
Beloved, you may have the Spirit of God in you and not be filled with Him. At the point where you are filled with Him, you manifest Him.
The Spirit of God fills us when we spend more and more time with Jesus. In the presence of Jesus, Precious Holy Spirit is in abundant supply and even overflows. So the more you spend time with Jesus, the more you get filled with Precious Holy Spirit.
And don't stop at the point where you get filled and begin to manifest Precious Holy Spirit. At this point, the manifestation needs to be constant and continuous so you even need more time with Jesus than before.
*Spending time with Jesus is spending time with the Word of God in His presence*. Therefore, the more you spend time to study the Word of God and interact with PreciousHoly Spirit, the more you get filled with the Spirit of God.
And when you are filled, Precious Holy Spirit would manifest in you and through you. He will use you to do exploits for God in and out of the Kingdom.
This does not depend on who you are, how learned you are, what you wear or drive, where you sleep or whatsoever *BUT* fully depends on your wilful submission and dedication to Jesus.
Therefore anybody at all from any background can fully manifest Precious Holy Spirit and do exploits in and out of the Kingdom.
If we would acknowledge that *IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS* and spend more time with Him, we would see signs, wonders and miracles happen everywhere around us, by the work of the Spirit of God through us.
Prayer: Father please help me focus on Jesus and spend more time with Him than I do now. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
