Fill er Up

Have you been so full of the Holy Spirit that you just walk through the day with all the cares of the world just rolling off your back like water off a ducks back? If you have not ever had a day like this, now is the time. You need to ask the Holy Spirit to fill you up, when you first get out of bed. Ask Him to fill you so full that the things of the world have no place to enter. Not into your mind, your health, your spirit. Then if you feel a little leaking out during the day, and things trying to sneak in, stop and ask Him to fill er up again. It's free. It doesn't change like the gas prices or the economy. It is always free for the asking. All it takes from you is acceptance. AMEN!

When you are filled with the Spirit during the day, your day goes alot easier. You have more kindness and patience with people. You may say, how can I get filled with the Spirit? It is all about being in the word of GOD, and opening yourself up to all His promises and His gifts to you. It is all about faith in what GOD says you can have instead of what the world tells you.
Some religions teach that being filled with the Spirit was temporary. Well, does the word not tell us that when we become Christians we are the same as Christ. Because Christ lives in us? Well, Christ was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Luke 4 v 1.....Then Jesus being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness........

One of the most used statements by these same people is "we are in Christ", well if the Holy Spirit is in Christ, then the Holy Spirit is within us. Jesus says in

Luke 18-19...."The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me; because he has annointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.".....

Jesus being filled with the Holy Spirit went about healing and proclaiming the word of God. He was a man when He walked on this earth. He came down to this earth as a man like you and me. But He was filled with the Holy Spirit and that is how He went about healing and performing miracles, doing the work of His Father.

So when He tells us we can do the same, (and that is what the word tells us) then why do we have a problem believing in miracles today? Why do we have a problem believing in the gift of tongues? Jesus tells us that He leaves us with these gifts and greater things will we do than He did while here on earth with us.

Mark 16 v 17....And these signs will follow those who beleive: in My name they shall cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them, they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover......

John 14 v 12-14....."Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."......

Then He tells you that you will receive another helper when He leaves to go to His Father in heaven. The Spirit of truth. Who is the Spirit of truth. Well, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. So the Spirit is the Holy Spirit of God.

John 14 v 6.....Jesus said to him; "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.".....

John 14 v 16...."And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-----The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you"......

Did you catch those words of Jesus. He said the Spirit will dwell in us FOREVER..... Not just in the days Jesus was on earth. He was leaving the earth and leaving the Spirit with us. Us being believers......So there you have it, there is no way you can say any longer that the miracles and tongues and the things of the Spirit are no longer. It would be contradicting the word of GOD. And actually the very words of Jesus Himself. AMEN!

So get up this morning and pray the HOLY SPIRIT fill you up to overflowing, so that the world can not enter into your spirit. AMEN!
