*Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.*
Ephesians 5:18
Living daily in the fullness of the Spirit takes place on the same basis on which we received Him into our lives. Confessing our sin, acknowledging our need and placing continuing trust in Christ. It’s a day-by-day relationship of dependence and obedience.
In every reference to the filling of the Spirit in the Book of Acts and the epistles, it is interesting that something happens to the mouth. For example, on the day of Pentecost, ‘All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them’ (Acts 2:4).
Paul writes, ‘Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit’ (Ephesians 5:18). He then immediately says, ‘Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord’ (Ephesians 5:19).
Look up every reference to being full of the Spirit and you will discover something happens to the mouth. The best indication of what is going on in our hearts is what comes out of our mouths.
The gentleness, holiness and truthfulness of the Spirit will find expression in the gentleness, holiness and truthfulness of our speech. It’s the surest evidence
The fullness of the Holy Spirit will
change your speech.
What does your speech say about what is going on in your heart?
PRAYER: Almighty Father, please enable me to manifest the presence of the Holy Spirit in me in all that I do. In Jesus mighty name... Amen🙏🏼
