“People ask me if you need the Holy Ghost to go to Heaven? Honey, you need the Holy Ghost to go to Walmart” Christine Caine

The need for the infilling of the Holy Spirit in one’s heart is critical just to navigate life today.  It’s not a nice idea or cute sentiment. This is a must for being an active disciple of Jesus in this day and age.  

Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

EPH. 5:18

The verb here in this verse for “be filled” is a continuous active verb, to be filled, and be filled again and again. Why do we need to be continually filled with his Spirit? Because we leak. We are holding the Spirit in human containers with cracks and imperfections. Just as you need to be eating and hydrating daily, again and again, so you and I have need for fresh grace and his Spirit often. We are also on mission, to be about the pouring out of rivers of living water to those around us, be it at home, neighbors or Walmart. And the promise that he will flood us with new fresh waters is a reminder to remain a conduit for the clean waters and not allow a “dam” mentality to reside.  Also being filled is for the purpose of new assignments that he places us in for which we may not feel personally equipped. His fresh grace gives us his strength of spirit to call upon to see his “New Wine” bring a taste of his Kingdom to those thirsting for true life. 

The wonderful truth is that he has a vast supply, and the Holy Spirit doesn’t have limits to the infilling for our need. So desire, seek, sing and give thanks, and his spirit will be poured through you and upon you so that you are leaking out the beauty of Jesus for others to taste and see that he is good!
