Be Filled With The Spirit
Some of the effects of being
filled with the Spirit are:
1. Holiness of heart and life.
This is not the perfection of the human nature,
but the holiness of the divine nature dwelling within.
2. Fullness of joy so that the heart
is constantly radiant. This does not depend on
circumstances, but fills the spirit with
holy laughter in the midst of the
most trying surroundings.
3. Fullness of wisdom, light and knowledge,
causing us to see things as He sees them.
4. An elevation, improvement and quickening
of the mind by an ability to receive the fulfillment
of the promise,
We have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).
5. An equal quickening of the physical life.
The body as well as the mind and soul
was made for the Holy Spirit.
6. An ability to pray the prayer of the Holy Spirit.
If He is in us there will be a strange accordance
with God's working in the world around us.
