Galatians 4:1-7

The Bible says, “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25). It says, “Be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). Romans 8:14 tells us to be “led by the Spirit of God.” When Jesus ascended to heaven, He asked the Father to send the Holy Spirit to indwell His people and to empower us in our work for Christ. It’s the Holy Spirit who lives the life of Christ through us and who achieves the work of Christ through us.

The Spirit of God has been given to us to empower us in our walk.

Guard against anything that hinders the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. The missionary statesman Dr. J. Oswald Sanders wrote, “Reduced to its simplest terms, to be filled with the Spirit means that, through voluntary surrender and in response to appropriating faith, the human personality is filled, mastered, controlled by the Holy Spirit.”

Ask God daily to fill you with Himself through His Spirit, to have mastery over your actions and reactions, and to control and empower you in your life of service.

All real service is but the effluence of the Holy Spirit through yielded and filled lives.
