Bible Question: how to be filled with the Holy Spirit? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Deltron, happyandfree is correct in that you must ask and believe but there are a few things that I would like to add. First you must desire in your heart for God to give you the GIFT of the Holy Spirit. If you ask with a sincere heart you will receive. If you don't feel you received it right away stay in prayer until you know that you know that you know that the Holy Spirit now lives in you. After you ask though I think is the hardest part. You must allow the Holy Spirit to take control and allow Him to show himself in ways that you might not feel comfortable with i.e. tongues. Ask God for the gift and then allow the Holy Ghost to use you as He sees fit. prayon |
