Being Spirit Filled

  • Bible Verse:

                Acts 9:6 “...Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?”

     

    So many Christians want to be Spirit-filled, but have they ever asked why God should fill them with His Spirit?

     

    I want you to imagine a man pushing a car into a service station. It has no battery in it. The car has four flat tires, a hole in the gas tank, and half the wires are disconnected. The attendant comes out, looks at this rat-trap, and says, “May I help you?”

     

    And the man says, “Yeah, fill‘er up.”

     

    What do you think that attendant would say?

     

    “What for?” would be appropriate.

     

    I think God sometimes says, “What for?” to us. Instead, we need to just sign the contract at the bottom and say, “Lord, You fill it in.”

     

    kneel down before the Lord, open your hands and say, “Lord, It’s all You. I am nothing but a vessel for You to use. Use me as You will.”
