Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast The Holy Spirit - How to be Filled with the Holy Spirit, Part 2
What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? And, perhaps more importantly, how do you get filled with the Holy Spirit? What’s the process? Chip explains what it means and what it does NOT mean.
Main Points Clarifying the terminology: Baptism does not equal Filling:- The Baptism of the Spirit - “The non-experiential, unrepeated work of the Holy Spirit at regeneration whereby we are placed into the Body of Christ.” F.F. Bruce -Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Romans 8:9
- The Filling of the Spirit - “The unobstructed, or unhindered, control or influence of the Spirit upon the believer’s life.” C. Ryrie -Acts 2:4, 4:8, 4:31, 6:3, 6:5, 6:55, 9:17, 11:24, 13:9, 13:52
- The issue is not getting more of the Holy Spirit, it’s Him getting more of you.
- We are never told to seek an experience or gift as evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit.
- The conditions for being filled are: Obedience, dedication, yieldedness to God and His Word. -Romans 12:1-2, Undefeated life (dealing with known sin) -Romans 6:12-13, Dependent life -John 15, Galatians 5:16
- The key perspective: It is relationship, not mechanical.
