“be filled with the Spirit” [Ephesians 5:18]
January 29
<p><b>“be filled with the Spirit”. </b> Only possible if there is an emptiness first – ‘swept and garnished’ is now a glorious experience through the atoning work of Christ.
Those who walk in the Spirit do not fulfil the lust of the flesh. The flesh wars against the Spirit anyway, but the victory Christ gives is found in the Spirit-filled life. Those filled with the Spirit make Jesus Lord – no-one can do this without the Holy Spirit.
It is when filled with the Spirit that all gets done in the Spirit’s power – ‘you will receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you’ is the promise of Jesus. Worship will become a delight and glorifying to God when you’re filled with the Spirit. Let God fill your heart today to overflowing – others will be blessed.</p>
