What kind of life am I living?
(ask)

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
[Ephesians 5:18]


This isn't about wine. (an alcoholic beverage made of grapes.)
This isn't even about drunkeness. (having temporary disorientation of the senses)

It's about dissipation!


 A debaucherous,
EXTRAVAGANT,

 
Squandering…
 
gross
misuse of life.

Whatever takes priority over God in my life,
IS A WASTE OF MY LIFE.

 

Christian, have we become…
 
  1. full of CONVENIENCE rather than obendience (the easy way out)
  2. full of compromise instead of committment ( I love my sin more than my Savior )
  3. full of CORROSion preferrably over regeneration  (I'm breaking down…and f a l l i n g a   p   ar t…)
selah


 …but be filled with the Spirit

Depend on
Jesus

for your life

fill = be carried along by
to be overcome by
to be filled with
power
greater
than your own

Christian, you:
 
  1. are commanded to be filled
  2. can only be filled by God
  3. continue to be filled
everyone needs to be filled


the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to
magnify
& GLORIFY

me
JESUS
