All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Be Filled By Holy Spirit...
Each week we are looking at one of 6 Keys to Christian Growth. The second key is being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is God — here on earth, in an invisible form. How can we be filled with the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit comes and lives in us when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. We can then ask God to fill us and control us and empower us with His Holy Spirit each and every day.
What difference does this make? Without God in your life in the person of the Holy Spirit, you could end up trying to live the Christian life just on your own efforts. With the Holy Spirit in your life, God Himself can live His life through you. This means that God the Holy Spirit can give you His peace, and love, and joy. You can ask Christ to flow through you and give you His attitudes, and replace your sinful thoughts with His presence.
Think how amazing this is! We, who are sinful, are forgiven by God through death of Jesus Christ. Then, God Himself will come and fill our lives with His Holy Spirit as we ask Him to!

Thank you for just being! Thank you for the beautiful Hilsong songs you add to my site. I couldn't help it to just start to cry by listening to them. May God bless you with everlasting peace for now and forever and may He makes all your dreams come true!
I'm only on this site for one day now and I'm already blessed by His grace through you and other members.
A friend through God!
Love

Thank you for this post. It is a wonderful reminder that God is wanting to live His life through us. When we allow Him to live through us we don't have near the frustrations we have trying to live the Christian life bu our own efforts. Our lices are also mush more effective in His service when we let Him control and lead in everything. I know I get discouraged when I try to doit ' my way'. But the Lord ,because He loves us, let's fall on our face .Then He picks us up and lovingly reminds us to let Him have control again. It's like the old hymn called "Trust and Obey".
One verse says ' Trust and obey 'cause there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus ,than to trust and obey'.
God bless you.
