Okay, and you're like well pastor Thompson. How do we get spirit filled well?
You know have you ever wondered why it's so easy to be spirit filled in church. Have you ever wondered that?
You know why you feel so you know today was a great day in church
You know I just feel great, and then you go on the drive home
And you're like yelling at your kids yelling at your husband yelling
You know I mean like we get home
And we're not being spirit filled because we're not doing things that would make us to be spirit filled at home
So why is it easy to get spirit filled at church? Well we come into his presence with singing in
Ephesians 5 18 turn over to Ephesians 5 18
It talks about not being drunk with wine
Ephesians 5 18 says be not drunk with wine wherein is excess
But be filled with the spirit
So I'm just talking about put away that bottle from you
You know because the opposite of being filled with the spirit is being filled with some other kind of spirit
Okay, and when you drink alcohol you have a you know have you ever noticed how it calls wine and spirits
Well, it's a different kind of spirit. You're filled with that's why it says don't be drunk with wine be filled with the spirit
That's an opposite thing
right so
We come to God and we and how do we get filled with the spirit says in verse 19 speaking to yourselves in Psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs
Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord
So what do we do when we first get to church we sing
With melody in our hearts to the Lord where you're supposed to be some of it sounds more like dogs fighting or cats fighting
But no, I'm just kidding you guys sing good sing better than I do
But how do we get filled with the spirit?
Well you go to church, and you get filled with the spirit you sing songs you sing hymns
He's being sing spiritual songs to the Lord and that gets you in the spirit walk in the spirit
And you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh
I don't see a bunch of people doing a bunch of sin here at this church while we're at church now
Obviously some people can have a bad attitude when they get here, but you know what you sing a couple songs
And you're gonna start feeling more spirit filled
