What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? 1-7-24 VIDEO HS HEIDI 2
Jesus, last few words to his disciples before he went into heaven were, “wait till you received power from on high“. Be completely filled with the Holy Spirit is what is needed to demonstrate the kingdom of God. This power was to be a visible manifestation of their lives for all to see. I believe we will see the manifestation of the Holy Spirit coming upon people like we see in the Bible. We have hardly touched the surface of what being filled with the Holy Spirit means. He’s not like a water faucet that you turn off. There is an importance of honoring the Holy Spirit. He is the spirit of truth to deny him as God would be blasphemy. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is refusing to believe what he says. Holy Spirit tells us what to say when we need to say it. Peter denied Jesus three times but when he’s filled with the Holy Spirit, he became a different man.
Luke 24:49 What comes next is very important: I am sending what my Father promised to you, so stay here in the city until he arrives, until you’re equipped with power from on high.” MSG

ROM 8:4 So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living his life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit!
5 Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities.
6 For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.TPT

When the demon left him, the mute man’s tongue was loosed and immediately he was able to speak. The stunned crowd saw it all and marveled in amazement over this miracle! TPT
LUKE 12:10 To err in one’s conclusion concerning the son of man is not the end of the road; they too will be restored to their true “I am-ness”! However, to reach a blasphemous conclusion concerning the Holy Spirit is stalemate! If the Holy Spirit is taken out of the equation who can possibly bring someone to discover the truth about themselves in this age? MIRROR

JOHN 20:22 Having said this he 1breathed an effusion of Spirit upon them and Acts 4:8 With that, Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, let loose: “Rulers and leaders of the people,
9 if we have been brought to trial today for helping a sick man, put under investigation regarding this healing,
10 I’ll be completely frank with you — we have nothing to hide. By the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the One you killed on a cross, the One God raised from the dead, by means of his name this man stands before you healthy and whole.

32 This Jesus, God raised up. And every one of us here is a witness to it.
33 Then, raised to the heights at the right hand of God and receiving the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out the Spirit he had just received. That is what you see and hear. MSG
Acts 2:38 Peter said, “Change your life. Turn to God and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, so your sins are forgiven. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:26 And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness.
