The ship begins to move. That's what Paul is telling you.

He wants you to be filled, not like a container that has no action but like a sail that continues to be filled with wind.

Over and over again. He wants you to move forward with the never-ending breeze of the Spirit filling your spiritual sails.

"Who Do You Think You Are?"

Being filled with the Holy Spirit causes action. It happens in your speech, in your heart, in your attitude, and in your activity. What a change! Now your words are uplifting, there's a harmony in your heart, you give thanks to the Lord, and you truly and humbly serve people.

How can a man or a woman who is filled with the Spirit speak with profanity? How can he or she have a heart filled with jealousy, bitterness, and criticism? A Spirit-filled person doesn't say, "Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?" Or "How can God treat me that way?" These are signs of a self-centered person who is "Spirit empty," not "Spirit filled."

When Christ returned to the Father, He did not intend for you to make it on your own. Help was on the way! After all, it is not your power or your strength that's important:

"Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, / Says the LORD of hosts" (Zech. 4:6).

It's by the Spirit that you are able to glorify Jesus. It's by the Spirit that your heart is filled with song. It's by the Spirit that you are able to say, "Jesus, I thank you for everything." And it's by the Spirit that you are empowered to say, "I forgive you."

How is the love of God "shed abroad in our hearts"? By the Holy Spirit.

You've never seen the wind, but you have certainly seen the results of the wind. The tree bends. The flag waves.

And the ship begins to move. Oh, the force of it.

You don't have to see the Holy Spirit to know that He is alive. You can feel the evidence in the power He gives you.

Once He fills you, seeking a confirmation is an exercise in futility. A man once asked: "Benny, tell me. Am I filled with the Spirit?"

I said, "Brother, if you don't know, then you're not!"

You don't have to ask when you see the results. Those who question their infilling have never received it.

It Starts with Salvation

You may ask, "How do I become filled with the Holy Spirit? If I speak in tongues, is that the sign?"

The Holy Spirit is present from the moment you ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive your sin and cleanse your heart. If you do not believe that, you don't understand the Trinity. As Paul wrote to Titus, "He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life" (Titus 3:5-7).
