Doing Life with The Spirit;
How to Stay Full of The Spirit
Ephesians 5: 15 - 18 (NLT)
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. 17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. 18 Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.
1. Pray
Acts 4: 31 (NASB)
And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.
Jude 20 (NASB)
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 14: 4 (NASB)
The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
2. Repent
Psalm 66: 18 (NASB)
If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear.
Psalm 66: 18 (NLT)
If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
1 John 1: 8 & 9 (NASB)
If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
2 Timothy 3: 1 – 5 (NASB)
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these.
1 Corinthians 7: 18 - 20 (ESV)
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
3. Ask
Luke 11: 11 – 13 (NLT)
“You fathers — if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? 12 Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! 13 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”
Matthew 5: 6 (NASB)
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
