Week 2 ~ Be Filled

The need of our souls is to be filled with the Spirit of God. This week we will focus on what that looks like and how to obtain that filling.

Day 8: Be Filled with the Spirit

Come Before Him in Worship: Gracious Lord, we thank you that you have made it possible to be filled with all the fullness of God, that we could overflow with hymns and songs and thankfulness to all around us!! Take a few minutes and allow praise to fill up your mind and heart. Give your praise to him as an offering by singing a song to him or recounting your thanks.

Reflect: Think of the Spirit as being oxygen to your spiritual life. If you’re able to breathe only a little oxygen, you may have enough to stay alive, but not to truly live! So it is with the Spirit. Paul says that we’re not to have just a little bit of the Spirit, but instead, we are to be filled with the Spirit. This is a command that our Lord gives us and is necessary to live the kind of victorious life that can conquer sin and self, and then overflow with a blessing to others. God has told us to be filled and he stands ready to do it, he wants to do it for us! Let’s pray this week for God to fill us with all his fullness and to show us if there is anything hindering that filling.

Respond in Prayer: Holy Spirit, will you grant me a fresh understanding today of what it means to be filled by you? (Allow some time for him to reveal himself. He may use words, pictures in your mind, metaphors, or even nature to speak to you.) Father, I am amazed and so grateful that you have given me Your Spirit! I want to be filled to overflowing with your life, victory, and love. Awaken my heart to receive and understand this precious gift so that I might enjoy the fullness of your presence both with me and within me.
