21.20 The Infilling of the Holy Spirit (Part 4)

In this final episode on the infilling of the Holy Spirit, Craig and LaDonna explain the process of how being filled with the Spirit of God happens.  They define it as being both a crisis and progressive work of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis as He fills and leads His own.    Drawing from their own personal experiences that led them to the Spirit-filled life, Craig and LaDonna share practical steps of obedience that is needed on our part, and a more than willing heart of God on His part to give us this much needed power for daily living.  Clearly, this is one of the most important doctrines of biblical faith that if overlooked or missed, will result in trouble winning the battles that we are designed to overcome.  We must remember, Jesus said in John 17 that, I sanctify myself that they too may be truly sanctified.  When we look at the life of Christ, He shows us not only how to be filled with the Spirit of God, but what powerful results that infilling will have as we live long and productive lives for Christ.  That's the only way to live out a strong and healthy Indigenous Faith in the context of our cultures, communities, and challenges.  Let's never forget Paul's admonition to the Ephesians in chapter 5:18, Be filled with the Spirit!
