Deep dives
What it means to be filled with the spirit
Being filled with the spirit means that God's love, presence, joy, and goodness flood the entire creation. It is not just about personal experiences but about becoming vessels of God's creative love in the world. While being filled with the spirit is a daily practice and a matter of humble prayer, it is not something we can control. It is an elusive and sovereign act of God. Signs of being filled with the spirit can include having new abilities, such as forgiveness or taking on tasks that one didn't think possible. However, being filled with the spirit is not constant joy and elation, and it is important to remain humble and teachable.
