This week I would like to look at why we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
God wants to do something with us and that is to change us from the inside out.
We are all born with a sinful nature; which looks out for what is best for itself and cares
only about its own desires. (The way we talk, act, think, feel)
Romans 8:5-8
Romans 8:9-11
No longer controlled by
1. Our sinful nature. (sometimes, might, you are NOT)
God has given us a new life and we are to live out this new life with and through the
power of the Holy Spirit.
1. Received the Holy Spirit when we believed.
2. Now we are to be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
a) So his life would manifest in us.
b) Proving He is alive.
c) He is continuing His ministry through us.
As we allow the Holy Spirit rule in our lives (JESUS) we will see the power of Jesus
working through and in our lives.
Romans 8:12-13
We have no obligation
1. To live in our sinful nature.
a. I can’t help it gossip, prone, lying, lusting, cussing etc.
If you a struggling with your old nature it’s time to make a complete commitment to the
Lord. Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
When we submit to the power of the Holy Spirit, He places a new desire in us.
This desire reveals our identity, so now we have a new identity.
Romans 8:14-16
Romans 8:17-18
Our inheritance
1. Everything that was given to HIS Son.
2. The suffering is persecution. Just for standing for what is right.
Romans 8:19-22
Romans 8:23
His glory
1. We too are waiting for the day we will receive the whole rights given to us by
God including the new bodies He promised us.
2. Child birth.
Romans 8:24-25
So why do we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit? It is the power of God given to us to
witness that Jesus Christ is Lord rendering us a victorious people.
