Fullness of the Spirit of God

This document discusses the promise and fulfillment of the Holy Spirit according to scripture. It explains that all believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit upon believing, but being filled with the Spirit involves yielding control to allow Him to influence one's life. Being filled can be repeated as needed and is maintained by walking wisely in the Spirit through redeeming one's time for God, speaking to others, giving thanks, and submitting to others in fear of God. Constant filling requires sacrificing self-control and investing time in spiritual growth. The seven spirits of God - wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, fear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord - provide balance and strength when functioning in a believer's life.

THE Fullness OF THE SPIRIT. SUBTITLE
The Promise of the Holy Spirit • John 7:37-38 (NKJV) • 37 On the last day, that great day of the feast,Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” • Thirst – true desire, to long for. • Come to me - repentance of all known sin in your life. • Drink - receive God’s gift of the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him . • He who believes in me - acting on the basis of faith in the Word of God
Luke 24:49 (NKJV) 49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city [a]of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” Acts 1:8 New (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be [a]witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” • John 14:16-18 (NKJV) • 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another [a]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 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. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?
All believers are SEALED with the Holy Spirit when they believe. • Ephesians 1:13 (NKJV) • 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, • Ephesians 4:30 (NKJV) • 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
What does it mean to be sealed with the Holy Spirit? • A seal is a mark that can be placed on a letter, a contract, or any legal document. • It shows that what was in the letter came from the person whose seal was on the outside. • In old times, cattle and even slaves were branded with a seal to show whom they belonged. • This mark would deter people from stealing them because they had the seal upon them. • Nazis sealed Jewish prisoners with numbers.
A seal communicates Ownership, Protection, Validation of the relationship.
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT • What does it mean ? • The disciples spent ten days meeting and praying in obedience to Jesus command, (Luke 24:49), (John 14:16- 18), (Acts 1:8). • The Holy Spirit came and baptised them. Following this baptism, they were “all filled.” (Acts 2:4) • Paul, in Ephesians 5: 18, to the Ephesians says to be filled with the Spirit.
“filled” in these scriptures, means “to be influenced by.” • Acts 2:4 (NKJV) • 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. • Ephesians 5:18 (NKJV) • 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
• All believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit when they first believe. • However, not all believers are filled with the Holy Spirit. • Being filled with the Holy Spirit depends on surrender, yielding our control to the Holy Spirit. • Filling is an experience that can be repeated. • Filling is a need to be able to walk powerfully doing the tasks that the Lord has called us to do.
• Tongues is not a demonstration of “Filling” • Being filled by the Holy Spirit is not getting more of Him! • But is about Him getting more of the believer! • Many times the disciples “were filled with the Holy Spirit” • Acts 4:8, 31; 6:3; 7:55, 9:17, 11:24, 13:9, 13:52, • In this cases there was no mention of tongues being spoken.
Losing The Filling of the Holy Spirit • The work of the Holy Spirit’s ministry to the believer in regeneration, baptism, indwelling, and sealing, cannot be lost. • However, His filling can be lost due to disobedience (sin). • The filling of the Holy Spirit can be instantly regained by the confession and repentance of the sin , ad the cleansing by the blood of Christ. •
Summarising, the “filling of the Holy Spirit” is not a feeling or an emotional experience, but rather, is the yielding (surrendering) of the believer’s life to the Lord.
HOW CAN BE CONSTANTLY FILLED
Ephesians 5:15-21 (NKJV) Walk in Wisdom • 15 See then that you walk [a]circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. • 17Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our LordJesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of [b]God.
• Paul is saying: to walk circumspectly, to be careful as we walk as children of light - walk circumspectly. • CIRCUMSPECTLY, adv. Cautiously; with watchfulness every way; with attention to guard against surprise or danger. • Definitions fromWebster's American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828.
• Our spiritual eyes have to be open. • Not to walk in the dark, but in the light. • If we are going from meeting to meeting, from spiritual experience in a meeting to another experience, then we are walking in the dark. • The experience will not last long.. • You must be walking in the Light!
• Redeeming the time, • Instead of using the time for our own advantage down here on earth, we as Christians should be buying the time, redeeming the time. • That will speak in our favour when we stand before Christ
• In the present condition where we are now,The Lord has giving us the wonderful opportunity to redeem the time. • How are you redeeming it? • Invest this time in the Kingdom of God!
• Being filled with cost you. • It may costs you your reputation, • It may costs you a friendship, • It may costs you some extra time of resting in the morning, • It may costs you an hour of social media online in the evening. • Whatever it costs you: redeem that time! • Buy it back! Sell that old thing for the word of God!
• Remember: • Not all Christians are filled with the Spirit. • To be controlled by the Holy Spirit, it means that we will be sacrificing our self-control!
