Be Filled with the Holy Spirit
December 22, 2008
In Ephesians 5:18 Paul gives us two words of instruction. The first is negative: “Do not be drunk with wine.” The second is positive: “Be filled with the Spirit.” Most Christians would acknowledge that it is wrong to be drunk. Yet how many believe it is equally wrong not to be filled with the Spirit?
The filling of the Holy Spirit is an essential part of God’s provision for victorious living. Paul speak of this infilling in the continuing present tense: “Be continuously filled.” He is speaking not about a one-time experience but, in the next three verses, about lifestyles:
- Singing praises continually to the Lord
- Being unceasingly thankful to God the Father
- Being humbly submissive to one another
As the Holy Spirit fills you continuously in this way, demons will find in you no vacant area that they can occupy!
Food for the unbelievers:
The Bible applies to all man-kind. God is loving and gave us these scriptures to follow by. Of course, we are human and not perfect. But we must strive to walk in the foot steps of our creator.
Clearly the scripture states in 1 Corinthians 6:8-10 we “will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven” if we are fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, thieves, drunkards, reviles, swindlers, effeminate. However, if we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior and repent from our wicked ways and begin our new life trying to appease by God, then we will go to Heaven.
Anyone and everyone can be saved! It comes down to our heart, and desire to please God.
Bottom line, We all can be delivered from our sins. Yes, fornication, idolization, adultery, homosexuality, thieving, alcoholism, fowl language, cheating, self-indulgent. Ask and you will receive!
May God’s grace and blessings be with you all.
Love,
Ezekiel
Ready to take the next step?
The Bible says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” To give your life to Christ, pray the following prayer and accept Jesus as your Savior:
What to Pray
Dear Lord Jesus,I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the grave to give me life. I know You are the only way to God. So now I want to quit disobeying You and start living for You. Please forgive me, change my life and show me how to know You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Did you pray?
If you just prayed the prayer of salvation, congratulations! We would love to hear about your new commitment and provide you with some resources that can help you begin your relationship with God.

We do not need to send any man such Bishop Bernard Jordan $300, $500, $1000, or even $20,000 to receive any miracle. We just need to have faith the size of a mustard seed. Not the size of your financial seed offering. Bishop Bernard Jordan is in this for himself only.
Mark 11:22-24
22 And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God.
23 “Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.
24 “Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.
Kenya, Africa is Starving, Let’s think of others beyond ourselves!
I am planning to knock on the doors of every church throughout the USA. And if those doors close on my face, I will knock on the next door… I am compelled to succeed in this mission. I eat fine and this makes me cry even harder. I so badly want to help Kenya. I love everyone there. I feel Gods grace and love for Kenya and it hurts my heart so much to feel the way I am feeling. The Lord will bless this mission. He guarantee’s victory in Faith. I have faith. This mountain shall be moved in Kenya!!!!!
Think about the living conditions in Kenya, the famine in Kenya, the orphans in Kenya, etc…
The USA is Blind!
The people in the USA are blind to anything but themselves. If I have to, I will go door-to-door with photos from Kenya. The Lord has already won Kenya.
