I. THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT• A. That work of the Holy Spirit which delivers
us from the power of three enemies
• 1. The world (Eph 2:2)
• 2. The flesh (Eph 2:3)
• 3. The devil (Eph 2:3; 6:12)
• B. Just as there is a divine plan and provisioin for one to be delivered from the power of sin (salvation) so there is a plan to deliver the believer from the habit and practice of sinning (pictured in John 7:37-38)

II. WHAT IS NOT NEEDED TO BE FILLED
• A. Prayer – The Spirit’s filling does not await the influence of prayer. He only awaits adjustment of the life
• B. Waiting – the disciples waited at Pentecost…since then He has waited
• C. Crisis – Filling does not require some supreme effort of faith to develop a permanent state…just adjustment of the will and life so He can fill

III. CONDITIONS FOR FILLING
• A. Grieve not the Spirit (Eph 4:30)
• (The purpose of the Holy Spirit’s filling is to minister through us. When we sin He must minister to us)
• 1. Psa 119:1,105 – God’s Word in our heart
• 2. Eph 3:20 – allowing the power to work
• 3. Heb 7:25 – Realizing the Intercessor’s work
• 4. 1 John 1:9 – Confessing known sin

• B. Quench not the Spirit – involves an act of the will to resist the Holy Spirit (1 Thess 5:19)
• C. Walk in the Spirit (Gal 5:16)
• 1. To will and to work for His good pleasure (Phil 2:13)
• 2. It is a yielding of one’s will to the Holy Spirit to allow Him to do His will through us.
