The Filling of the Holy Spirit
BIG IDEA
The Holy Spirit doesn’t just come upon you — He stirs within you.His filling is not a one-time event but a divine rhythm.When the stirring comes, it’s heaven’s signal: It’s time to move.
“On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.”
—Acts 2:1–4 (NLT)
1. You Were Designed to Carry God
You were made in God’s image — designed for His Spirit to dwell in you.
“Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.”
—Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
“And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago.”
—Ephesians 1:13 (NLT)
2. Filling Is Not Just a Pouring — It’s a Stirring
He’s already in you. The stirring is His signal to act.Sometimes what we call instinct is actually the Holy Spirit’s gift being stirred.
“This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
—2 Timothy 1:6–7 (NLT)
3. The Stirring Activates What’s Already in You
The filling is a reactivation of what the Spirit already placed inside of you.
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”
—Romans 8:11 (NLT)
4. The Gifts Are the Overflow
When the Spirit stirs, the gifts flow out to help others — not to highlight us.
“Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.”
—Ephesians 4:11–12 (NLT)
“A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.”
—1 Corinthians 12:7 (NLT)
“In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well… If your gift is serving others, serve them well… If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously… If you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.”
—Romans 12:6–8 (NLT)
5. The Gifts Are Given for Impact, Not Image
Don’t confuse charisma with calling.Spiritual showmanship never impressed Jesus — faithfulness did.We are vessels, not the source.Let’s avoid spiritual ego and gift envy — and let the Spirit express Himself through our true selves.
6. The World Is Waiting on What’s in You
You don’t need a title or a platform — just a willing heart and the Holy Spirit’s stirring.
“Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’ (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him…)”
—John 7:38–39 (NLT)
FAITH STATEMENT
I was created to carry the presence of God.I’m not just visited — I’m indwelt.The Holy Spirit is alive in me.When He stirs, I move.I receive the filling, and I express the gifts.Not someday. Not somewhere. But here and now.

Message Summary
In our journey of exploring what it means to be a follower of Jesus, we’ve come to understand that following Him is not a one-time decision but a continuous, daily practice. It’s about engaging in a rhythm of life that draws us closer to Him, despite the challenges and tribulations we face. Jesus calls us to become more like Him every day, knowing that we will never be perfect but encouraging us to strive for spiritual growth through daily practices such as reading the Bible, praying, and finding moments of quiet reflection.
The essence of discipleship is not just personal transformation but also communal engagement. Jesus’ call to “follow me” was a rabbinical invitation to learn and grow, but it also included the command to “go and make disciples.” This involves living in community, sharing life with others, and helping them realize the better way of living that Jesus offers. The practice of being together, of forming a community, is crucial. We are not meant to walk this journey alone; we are called to be part of a family, a community of believers who support and encourage one another.
The early church exemplified this communal life, as described in Acts 2:42-47. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. They lived in unity, shared their possessions, and met each other’s needs. This model of community is what we strive to emulate today. We are called to be spiritual contributors, not consumers, to be irrationally generous, and to unapologetically share the love of Jesus.
Our mission is to create a space that honors Jesus, where grace, healing, and mission are at the forefront. We aim to be a church that reaches out to the lost, not just those who haven’t accepted Jesus but also those who feel isolated and in need of love and support. We are committed to being a disciple-making church, where each member is encouraged to grow in their faith and help others do the same. This is the revival we seek—a revival of love, grace, and community that extends beyond the walls of the church and into the world we serve.
**Key Takeaways:**

– **Community and Discipleship:** Discipleship is not just about personal transformation but also about living in community. We are called to be part of a family of believers who support and encourage one another, helping each other grow in faith. [05:17]
– **Generosity and Unity:** The early church exemplified a life of unity and generosity, sharing their possessions and meeting each other’s needs. We are called to be irrationally generous and to live in unity, focusing on what we have in common rather than our differences. [21:01]
– **Creating a Space for Jesus:** Our mission is to create a space that honors Jesus, where grace, healing, and mission are at the forefront. We aim to be a church that reaches out to the lost and provides a place of love and support for all. [45:59]
