THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Time
Baptism of the Holy Spirit Occurs when a person invites Jesus into their heart.
Luke 3:16 John answered and said to them all, "As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. (NASU)
This one-time event occurs when we are Born Again
THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Time Continual Indwelling
The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit starts at the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and continues until death.
1 Cor 3:16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Rom 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
THE SEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Time Continual Indwelling
The Sealing of the Holy Spirit occurs at the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and continues on forever.
Sealing
Eph 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation -- having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,
THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Time Continual Indwelling
The filling of the Holy spirit is a moment by moment occurrence where self is dethroned and the spirit is given control.
Sealing
Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit, KJV.
SelfSpirit
Confessed sin
A FOCUS ON FILLING
The filling of the Holy Spirit is the only aspect of His presence that we are commanded to do
The filling of the Holy Spirit iso Having all known sin confessedo Turning away from self-centered
livingo Allowing the Holy Spirit to have
controlo Letting the Spirit be in the “driver’s
seat”o Letting the Spirit be on the throne of
your heart So how do you get filled?
HOW TO BE FILLED
You must want to be directed and empowered by the Holy Spirit
Confess your sins. By faith thank God that He has
forgiven all of your sins - past, present and future
By faith claim the fullness of the Holy Spirit
Invite the Holy Spirit to take control of your life
FEELING VERSES FAITH
• Filling is not necessarily something that you feel.– It’s not like getting in swimming
pool where you feel the water
• Filling is an act of your choice and of faith.
• Results of filling should be noticeable to others and to you.
WHY BE FILLED?
Consider John 15: 5-6o John 15:5-6 "I am the vine, you are the
branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. NASB
We can do nothing apart from Him He’ll pass you by (like a dried up
branch) to look for others who choose to abide in Him.
FILLING IS…
Commandedo Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with
wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit, KJV.
o The Key to Powero Acts 1:8 but you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…
The Basis of fruitful Livingo Gal 5:19-21
THE PRAYER OF SPIRITUAL BREATHING
Exhaleo Confess your sin – o Agree with God concerning your sin o Thank Him for His forgiveness of ito Repentance - a change in attitude and
action.
Inhaleo Surrender the control of your life to
Christo Meditate on the fullness of the Holy
Spirit by faith. o Trust that He now directs and empowers
you
