How Can You Live Continually Filled with the Holy Spirit?

Learn how to live continually filled with God's Spirit, embracing the fullness of His love and power in your daily life.

Imagine for a moment...

You are one of the disciples sitting around the Passover table with Jesus. He starts talking to you about how He is about to leave this earth. Inwardly, you are heartbroken at the thought of losing your beloved Rabbi, friend, and Lord. But then Jesus says something you find almost impossible to understand: you're better off if He goes. How could that possibly be? Yet Jesus assures you that the gift He is leaving behind is even more wonderful than the very physical presence of your Lord Himself. He is sending another to not only be with you, but to be within you - the Holy Spirit.

In Ephesians 5:18, Paul says, "be filled with the Holy Spirit." In the Greek text, the word for "be filled" is actually in the continuous present tense, giving the verse the meaning, "Be continually filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit." That means there is always more of God's Spirit available for you. He is the infinite waterfall of God's love cascading over you. He is your daily bread, He is the river of life that never runs dry, and in Him is the generous supply of all you need to live the abundant life He's given you.

Today, may you fall in love with the Holy Spirit all over again. May you receive afresh the "more" of God, and be filled yet again with the "better gift" Jesus promised you - His Wonderful Holy Spirit.

«It’s to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away the Divine Encourager will not be released to you. But after I depart, I will send him to you.»

John 16:6—8 TPT

4 Steps to Live Continually Filled:

Ask for an awakening of hunger within you for the “more” of His Spirit. Jesus said in Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”
Greet each morning with an awareness of the Holy Spirit’s presence with you, saying, “Good morning Holy Spirit. Fill me afresh today, I want to do everything with You, by You, and for You.”
Be intentional about receiving an impartation from others. Acts 8:17 says, “Then they (the apostles) laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.”
Create a rhythm in your day that reminds you of your need to be continually filled. Perhaps with each meal you eat pray, “Holy Spirit, more than this food I need You. Fill me with more of Your Spirit.”
