Are you filled with the Holy Spirit?


Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord (Ephesians 5:18-19 NLT).

Dear Friends,

Here is a real test that will help you determine if you are truly filled with the Holy Spirit.

Do you find that you have a greater love for Christ? Are you more concerned for those who do not know His love and forgiveness? Are you experiencing a greater faith, boldness, liberty, and power in witnessing, and victory in your own life? Do you enjoy reading God's Word, the Bible?

If you answer yes to these questions, you are filled with the Spirit. Jesus Christ is beginning to express His life and love through and in you.

Remember, Jesus promised that we would receive "power" after the Holy Spirit has come upon us. That power is to be his witnesses (Acts 1:8).

Most Christian leaders agree with Dr. R. A. Torrey, who said: "I have gone through my Bible time and time again checking this subject and I make this statement without the slightest fear of successful contradiction that there is not one single passage in the Old Testament or the New Testament where the filling with the Holy Spirit is spoken of, where it is not connected with testimony for service."

When you are filled with the Holy Spirit you will have a greater love for Christ, for your fellow man, and for the Word of God, and you will want to share Christ with others. As Paul said in Romans 5:5, "God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us" (NIV). Also, the fruit of the Spirit -- love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control... (Galatians 5:22,23, NIV) -- will become more evident in your life.

As a Christian abides in Christ, living in the fullness of the Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit is developed and the Christian becomes more mature spiritually. The maturing of the fruit of the Spirit is a lifetime process that goes on continually as Christ-like characteristics are being formed in the life of the Christian. Some Christians give greater evidence of the fruit of the Spirit than do others because of a greater degree of yielding to His working.

The more we acknowledge ourselves to be dead to sin and surrender to our Lord Jesus Christ and His life within us, and the more we allow Him through the power of the Holy Spirit to live out His life through us, the more evident will be the fruit of the Spirit.

Yours for helping to fulfill the Great Commission each year until our Lord returns,

From: Bill Bright

    Hiya! My name is Alecia and I really just wanted to say your website is awesome!
    It really is amusing because I use to have a

    blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4712198402907893351&postID=914393186483113521 mine was only a few letters different.

    Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of
    hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?

    Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog
    in the near future but I'm having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for
    something unique. P.S Apologies for getting
    off-topic but I had to ask!

    I'm really loving the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems? A few of my blog readers have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your website?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .

    net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year
    and am nervous about switching to another platform.
    I have heard excellent things about blogengine.

    net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
    Any help would be really appreciated!

    Hey there, I think your website might be having browser
    compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but
    when opening in Internet Explorer, it has
    some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!

    Other then that, great blog!
