FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT

Not just once and you’re done.

Keep praying—Jesus did, often, a lot.

“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”
So we should pray for the Holy Spirit, surely not just once.

“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.”
So Jesus prays for the Holy Spirit for us, surely not just once.

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”
So the Holy Spirit teaches and helps us remember, surely not just once.

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
So we get power from the Holy Spirit to be witnesses to Jesus, surely not just once.

Do we need prayer just once ?
Do we need teaching just once ?
Do we need power just once ?
Do we need the Holy Spirit just once ?

So, be filled with the Spirit—ask—surely not just once and you’re done.
