Being Filled with the Spirit

When we are full of the Spirit, we will be overflowing with God's Love and manifesting the Fruit of the Spirit.  There will be signs in our live and we will be using the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

If we do not keep turning to God in Worship, the Joy that we so treasure will eventually dry up and we will become like the foolish virgins that ran out of oil.

We need to keep turning to God and and keep our relationship to him current.  We need to be overflowing Christians.  As God pours in, we need to be pouring out.  If we keep pouring out without going back to the source for more then we will run dry and eventually bankrupt our faith.

We need to be repeatedly Filled with the Spirit
