6. Spirit Filled Christian

Spirit Filled

Believers uses the word, Spirit filed receiving the gifts and being filed with the Spirit are two different things. The meaning of Spirit filled as believers today we think that person is filled with The Holy Spirit. Filled with the gift or gifts is different from someone that had put the time into filling their spirit & soul with the things of God. Such as His power, revaluation, anointing & fruit. I have come across a lot of Christians that have be baptized in The Holy Spirit with spiritual gifts, but they have no power, very little revaluation and no fruit. The thought of someone that can just say he has gifts of The Holy Spirit, does not qualify them to be called Spirit filled. It's more right to take that term and say the person has been given gifts from The Holy Spirit. We have seen people that have the gifts of The Holy Spirit who act and talk just like the world. Spirit filled person should be transformed not only in the spirit, but in their soul to look more like Jesus Christ. Matthew 23:39, “for I say to you, you she’ll see Me no more till you say, ˜Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Imagine someone coming in the name of the Lord, but the spectators don’t see the Jesus in that person. Instead, they see someone that is just a religious person with good ideas. In contrast, imagine people seeing Jesus when they see you. That's what Jesus was implying. You shall see Me no more till you experience someone's life that represents Me with love, power, anointing & fruit of The Holy Spirit. Love, power, anointing & fruit does not just come with activities, but with spending time with The Holy Spirit. The world needs people of the Spirit, not a people of activities. The best activity should be to teach people how to spend time with The Holy Spirit.

Growing the born-again spirit, so it can be filled

Commitment brings change. Anyone that wants to win the race goes into strict training. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:25, “Everyone who competes in the games exercise self-control. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.” He is referring to becoming one with The Holy Spirit. And becoming one with the Spirit is not an overnight process. Self-control can only come when putting the four keys of spiritual growth into practice. I believe growth requires a lot of effort. I have never seen anyone develop muscles by standing still and talking about it. Training is when one person stops what they are doing and puts effort into changing. One of the fruits of The Holy Spirit is self control which puts all the other fruits in the same platform. You can have The Holy Spirit but never put in the work that causes fruit to manifest. To receive the fruit of The Spirit into your born-again spirit requires time with God. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. Are definition of a spirit filled Christian would be someone that puts the 4 keys into action to feed their spirit with God. The one you feed or strengthen the most will be the one that will control man's soul. Luke 6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher. But everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. The word disciple, mains a disciplined one. The world has trained us not to be disciplined, we have to fight to become and to stay disciplined.

The proses we all have to face to stay charged

Most of us just want to have this charge with God, by going to anointed church services, and nothing is wrong with that because I also like to go to those services as well. But what tends to happen we come out of them, and we are pumped up and ready to do the work of God. Because we had a some deliverance, or a prophetic word, or even refreshed by The Word. So we go on for some time strong but slowly we become stagnant and dry ones more. We all need a charge, no matter who you are you can't go on without it. You were so sensitive to the Spirit and your conscience was strong from discerning bad and good for a while, but because we did not take the time to stay charged or continue in growing by pressing into God, we get dole and start to fall into sinful things of are past. We can’t call ourselves Spirit field because we did not charge are batteries.

Four keys that transform a believer to become Spirit filled

1st ExtraKeys God’s Word: If someone was to ask; “what does reading and meditating on The Word of God do” The purpose of reading the truth is so we can become the truth. If we look we have deception that’s all around us. If the truth is not our daily bread then deception will give its place in time, and little by little we will conform to the world if the source of truth is not being meditated on. So reading and meditating on God's word does this seat of things to us; 1) It gives us success, 2) hope, 3) truth, 4) Shields us, 5) Brings health, 6) Sanctifies, 7) Build you up, 8) Makes you free, 9) Gives you faith, 10) Converts the soul, 11) Light to our path, 12) Strengthens us, 13) Cleans our ways, 14) Brings conviction of sin.

2nd ExtraKeys Praying in Tongues: God knew the transformation to be complete in us, He needed to add the gift of tongues in the new testament so He can take us to the next level. He needed us to utilized this gift in prayer so we can take a stand against our enemy. When we pray in tongues we give The Holy Spirit accesses to fill us up. If were not filled up then wear empty, and if were empty we can't really give or be effective. We become a people that have the Word but not the power of The Holy Spirit. The Word of God without the Spirit is useless. By praying in tongues we give The Holy Spirit a place in our lives to do the purging work of cleaning our soul from our past. We have a short list of what the gift of tongues dose to a believer. There's more to this list below, but we will focus on what's in scripture. 1) Praying in tongues builds our faith, 2) help us with our weaknesses, 3) bring unity, 4) gives us edification, 5) lines up scripture, 6) impart knowledge, 7) gives us the ability to comprehend deeper understanding, 8) speaks to us by putting His thoughts into our spirit, 9) gives us rest, and 10) refreshing.

3rd ExtraKeys Worship: A) Worship brings presents of God. How do we have the presents of God be with us to a point where people notes that God is present. Will your answer is in worship. The longer you are in worship the stronger the presents of God will be in the believers life. We need more of his presents to be in us to manifest outwardly so the gospel won't be without presents & power.

B) Worship brings presents of God in the area of healing. People complain to God sometimes in the way of why God. Why did that person not get healed when I prayed for them? Will worship has a lot to do with physical healing. Worship takes us to a place where we start to believe for the impossible. What worship is doing, is taking you out of the presents of this world and potting you in the presence of God's kingdom. And if you make the kingdom of God your most important, as in spending more time there, it will naturally help you to start believing in the costumes of the kingdom, and in that kingdom there is no lack. There is no sickness. So it's not just in-off to just understand the truth in God's Word, we need to take time and live in a kingdom of truth so we can carry the power of the Kingdom. Let's not forget that Jesus side “the kingdom will be inside of you.” What is he talking about? He's Talking about The Holy Spirit. Why is it that all believers have The Holy Spirit, but most believers don’t experience the presents or the power of God. Because most believers don’t takes the time to soak in worship.

C) Worshiping God is a game changer. When we spend time worshiping, instead of fighting the battle that's in front of us, we give God room to go forward for us, and He do the battle for us. Victory is hard for us to win, when it's way over our head. But nothing is for God, and God wants us to worship so we can line are souls in the same position as are spirit, so God can move in are situation. Did you know that we hinder God to move because of us. Again worship will move us not God, so God’s move into are situation. And Yes this does not mean that God will not be fighting for you if you don’t worship, but some battles you will never understand or get brake thru without a strong presence of Him. If your spirit eyes open up you will see that you have a really enemy and his not playing around with you, He wants to destroy you. So let's not get comfortable with the precious time you have on earth and say things like this; “God will take care of it” yes He will if you get him involved. Don’t be one of dose that don’t get a break thru and say things like “it’s God's will for me to suffer like this so I can learn.” We need to have a testimony that matches God's kingdom and what we read in the bible.

D) Worship = Confidence: God has transformation me thru worship, It has given me more confidence in my faith to believe for healing. You see I have faith but in the past it was faith without conference. I would believed that if I would pray for someone I would have faith for healing, but I could not get the confidence to approach and actually pray for that person. Even when it came down to believing for the miracles and hard situations in my life to change. I would believe without confidence. See being in a kingdom long enough can change all that, and it will become a norm for you and me to just be so confident that people won’t understand why you act the way you act when circumstances don't move you but you stay in hope. Most people will start thinking that you're cocky for not reacting but what they do not know is that it's your confidence that's holding you up. And true wisdom and discernment will show confidence that’s running the believers life not fear or doubt. Not being moved by what they see or hear.

E) So if we sum up what Worship does to you, we can say a lot but most importantly you are glorifying God and spending time with him in His Presence. 1) Worshiping God will give the Land you're on the increase, 2) will give hope during downcast, 3) will give you victory over your enemy’s, 4) blessings will be on your food & water, 5) It will take away sickness and infirmities from among you, 6) will give comfort and 7) the biggest thing that it will do is fill you up with The Holy Spirit so you will be able to walk by the Spirit.

4th ExtraKeys Fasting: Fasting executes the positional truth of what’s been declared about us being dead to the world and being alive in Christ. It brings us closer to God by breaking all forms of bondage that hold us back from Him. When we feel distant from The Holy Spirit, its because our flesh has been trained from the world through the five senses in our flesh. So when we fast, we enforce what was declared on us. Our born again spirit rises and the flesh decreases when we fast. When our flesh decreases, we feel closer to God, because we start to feel the manifestation of The Holy Spirit in our born again spirit. The Holy Spirit starts to leak out towards the soul, then from our soul to the flesh. I made a list of what fasting does. I will start to say it gets the flesh out the way for God to do what He wanted to do for us all along. 1) Fasting get us closer to God, 2) removes unbelief, 3) power of The Spirit works through us, 4) Gives direction & clarity, 5) Helps us power over temptation, 6) Remove the impossible mountains, 7) loses bonds & strongholds, 8) Removes heavy burdens, 9) Break the joke & oppression, 10) strengthens your spirit so you're able to gives spiritual food to others, 11) Covering others when their spiritually naked or to stand be able to stand in the gap for others, 12) Causes your spiritual light to break out, 13) brings physical healing to your body, 14) give God access to break the sealing of limitation for Him to imparting knowledge, and wisdom 15) to receive interpretation of dreams and visions, 16) giving God room to accomplished and manifest His will for your life.

CONCLUSION

I know that God wants to see people that will be fit for the Kingdom. Jesus said, “what does the Kingdom of God look like in a person that has it manifesting. It’s like a man that planted a seed in his garden and it grew and became a large tree.” If you want to become a large tree that will cover many, you would press into God to transform so you can be that tree one day. Don't bee the seed that gets no water. Seed without the water is useless. Apostle Paul side he labored so that Christ would be formed in them. And in another place he side for us to obtain the fullness of Christ. You can have The Holy Spirit but not give Him time he needs, to transform you. See God wants us perfected in Christ. So we can have His Kingdom be manifested on earth thru us. If we pursue cleansing our soul and sanctifying it. We will be useful to the Lord. We don't pursue godliness then we won't see a change in us and around us.
