INTRODUCTION
God wants something special for each one of his children, beginning with you.
He desires, as wrote the Apostle John, “that your joy be full’’ (1 John 1:4).
The Psalmist David testified, “my cup overflows. (Psalm 23:5). Not only full, but overflowing.
Jesus said of each of his own, “streams of living water will flow from within him" (John 7:38-39).
There is abundant Scriptural evidence that every Christian has the Holy Spirit. To the carnal Christians of Corinth, Paul exclaimed,
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own” (1 Corinthians 6:19).
To even the carnal Christians have to admit the they do not have the fullness of God in their lives, that the rivers of living water have almost dried up,
and that their cup is not even half full. The Spirit's fruit in their lives is scarce. They have little love, joy is only occasional,
peace escapes them when they most need it, patience is short, etc.
But some will defend themselves saying that they remain faithful to their church and to “God's work.”
If you are one of these, perhaps you might say that you work until you are worn out,
that you may feel that you are the last faithful believer and yet all your efforts have produced little fruit.
You are exhausted, burdened with worries, pressures and frustrations. Your cup is not running over and you feel a dangerous emptiness in your soul.
What does the Bible say about your need? “Be filled with the Spirit“ (Ephesians 5:18).
Be filled? Yes, that the rivers of living water flow fully and with power.
That your cup run over, not only for your benefit, but also for the blessing of many others.
That the same Holy Spirit produce fruit in your life....beautiful, rich and abundant fruit.
Is that what you want’? If not, this study is not for you, lay it aside now. But if you profoundly desire God's fullness in your life,
cost what it may (and, yes, it will cost you much) continue studying. This will be for you much more than a study. It will be a profound life experience.
GOD'S PUPROSE IN FILLING YOU WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT
The text is from the NIV Bible
