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.

Too Busy Being Afraid
The greatest enemy to the life you want (supernatural) may be the life that you’re living (natural).
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
—John 10:10
Satan does not have to get us to sin to drift from our resolve to live in the presence of God. He just has to get us to be too busy.
A life lived too busy is a life lived in fear…
Now, the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
—Genesis 3:1-6
The Fear of Missing Out. FOMOThe Fear of our Past.
We get so busy running from something OR we get too busy running to something.
It’s amazing how busy we are being afraid.
Examples: Security systems, investments, relationships to avoid loneliness, eating disorders, paranoia…
Too busy to take a moment and read the moment.Too busy to make decisions from a place of peace.
When we are too busy…
…we think things that are not true.…we believe in things that are only right at the moment.…we rush to find quick fixes and not the proper solution.…we lose appreciation and gratitude because we are too quickly on to the next thing.…we don’t believe we have ever achieved our best.…we lose confidence, focus, and direction.…we lose who we are and to whom we belong.…we stop praying, we stop believing, we stop growing.
Fear motivates a busy life, and a busy life produces fear…
JESUS NEVER SPENT A MOMENT IN FEAR
He came from somewhere (Identity), yet He didn’t run from his past.The needs of others gave him a divine purpose.Removing any obstacles so that we could have a future gave him hope.
Jesus was busy—Never rushed.Fear did not motivate him.
Jesus has not come to bring us a life of fear. He has come to give us an abundant life.
As he [Jesus] walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.
—Mark 2:14
• If Levi followed an unrushed Jesus, then Levi should’ve been living an unrushed life.
• If we follow an unrushed Jesus, we should be living an unrushed life.
An unrushed life is motivated by peace and not fear.
LOVE OVERCOMES FEAR
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
—1 John 4:18
He gives us life by overcoming the obstacles between us and God.
And this is the real and eternal life: That they know you, The one and only true God, And Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
—John 17:3
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
—1 Corinthians 13:7
We don’t miss out on anything when we are in the presence of God.
FEAR ROBS US OF LIFE
We have got too busy being afraid…
THE THIEF…
…STEALS GOD’S WORD FROM YOU.
When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.
—Matthew 13:19
… SETS TRAPS TO ENSNARE YOU.
…and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken
