A Prayer To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit (With Greg Laurie)

The Bible tells us to be “filled with the Spirit!” Have you ever wondered what that means? It may not be what you think.
We might surmise to be “filled with the Spirit” means that we will have an emotional experience. Now, it could mean that, but you can have this encounter with God and have no emotional experience to speak of.
I’m sure we would all love to have an emotional encounter with God every single day. It would be great to just get “zapped” every morning, wouldn’t it? But that is not necessarily going to happen.
The day of Pentecost was like the explosion that set the early Church into motion. Like when you start driving a car, there is the “explosion” that starts the engine. But once the engine is started, you just drive the car. You don’t need the explosion over and over, just one to start the engine.
Thank God for those powerful, emotional, life-changing encounters we have with Him.
The word “filled” has many shades of meaning. One translation of the word filled describes the idea of the wind filling the sail of a ship as it carries it out to sea. So to be filled with the Spirit is to allow God to fill your sails and guide your course through life, making His commands not a drudgery, but a delight.
Also, this word ‘filled’ speaks of something that should be ongoing and continuous. You could translate it “Be being filled with the Holy Spirit.” Just like you have to put gas in your car, and those gas prices are insane right now! You need the constant filling of the Holy Spirit. The good news is God will not charge you.

@Nes im Holz im having a hard time with what you posted. Pastor Greg is what! No short sleeve shirts,no earrings, no thi no that! Wow you sound old school catholic- that demonic religion i was unfortunately brought up in. I have a ton to say but why bother. Greg preaches the word properly. I've been listening to him on the radio for 16 years. I whole heartily believe the Lord God Almighty is within him a 100 percent. I've been saved for 17/18 years now. Ill pray for brother.

Pastor Greg before you spend the money GIVEN BY GOD in the fashion industry have some DISCERNMENT and realize what you are wearing. "ALLSAINTS" the original Owner would donate to the Church of Satan. All these high end and luxury brands deal with the Occult and Free Mason Symbolism. I would know I worked for many and still work for one right now. 2nd OF ALL your a pastor and almost a $1,000 outfit on if you didn't get it on sale. COME ON PEOPLE WAKE UP!

When you’re going through a difficult time - be it emotional, physical, mental, or spiritual - it can be easy to lose faith. Some challenges in life can make you feel like you may not overcome them, or the pain is almost too much to bear. But the good news is that you can move past these moments. God always got you

[@davidstarheart8478]

He and his father have been mostly all talk and have kept the Holy Spirit from coming down on the congregations even keeping people like Lonnie who are really helping from praying in the Spirit with people because it would’ve taken away from their power. If you watch videos of the Holy Spirit entering it is much different than this. It does have something to do with how you feel. Yes, pray until you feel His touch. Pray without ceasing!

[@itzcasey336]

Ask and you shall receive

[@apl99999]

you should do baptism in jesus name as well

[@Riversoflivingwater82]

It's scriptural Acts 2:38 says... be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.. If the Bible says it we should do it. It really is that simple.

Who is the Holy Spirit? Jesus states “The words I say to you, I say not on my own but from the FATHER who DWELLS IN ME.” We are sure that the Holy Spirit is inside Jesus and helps Him in speaking. With that verse Jesus thus reveals that the HOLY SPIRIT inside Him IS THE FATHER. Indeed, we know that the Father is a spirit "God is a spirit". Not only in Jesus, exactly the same kind of relief (when speaking) also occurs inside the disciples: "because it is not ye that will speak, but the SPIRIT OF YOUR FATHER...". However, you can notice there that the term "SPIRIT" is used instead. Well, confusion arises because Jesus has the "Father who is a spirit" and calls Him sometimes "FATHER" (generally when Himself is concerned), sometimes "SPIRIT" (of God, Holy, of the Father...) when other people are concerned (see the apostles above). But they are just TWO NAMES for the SAME ONE SPIRIT: THE FATHER. No further "omnipotent spirit Lord who gives life" exists: it's an invention. But this was obvious: the Devil could be INSIDE you, trying - UNNOTICED as much as possible - to steer your mind and to convince you do something. Well, God is no less, He is able to perform that action too! If God is inside you, trying to lead you, then the HOLY SPIRIT IS IN YOU. Thus, "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" is SYNONYM of "blasphemy against the Father". No one has been FORGOTTEN there: just TWO blasphemies are possible, one against the Father and one against the Son! This also means that when Jesus was baptized, simply the Holy Spirit - i.e. the Father who is a spirit - SAID "...you are my beloved Son...". Just the Father and the Son were there, TWO ! No one else exists "I am not ALONE because the Father is with me". The "omnipotent spirit Lord giver of life" is thus just an invention. The Father is now ONLY ACTIVE in His "Spirit form" (see for example the Holy Spirit and Mary's pregnancy), but He also existed in His "normal form" (see "the Father" of the baptismal formula). God existed in his "normal form" ONLY BEFORE the birth of the universe "Righteous Father, the world has not known you..." this is why "No one has ever seen God..." and why Jesus inherited the kingdom of God "The Father loves the Son and has given him all things into his hand." . The "Spirit of God" PROCEEDS FROM God dwelling in that remote past.

@@iamtjsnyder Does it say anywhere in the bible to look cool behind the atlter?

[@iamtjsnyder]

@@jonathanarmen2615 what if Jesus said that about you? Not being mean. When you see how God sees you it begins to train your eyes to look the same way. If we don’t see ourselves clean we won’t see others clean and will always judge someone face value. We will always judge a book by the cover. Everyone including non believers have the same created value as you and I and we must see them simply as lost sons and daughters who God wants back home. It’s the goodness of God that leads people to change not pointing out what’s wrong sign them ext. you show them who they are called to be and created to be. The good news how God makes us right with himself through Jesus. Let’s not get caught up in the little things that don’t even matter
