What Does It mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

Sally Lewis The Holy Spirit is the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead... It is who Jesus became after ascension... Father/spirit/son are one living in the now in, through and as us... As the Spirit leads we come to realize this as truth then are shown things needing cleansed within each of us bringing us to pure unselfish love that desires no harm ever in any other... When we get to this point all power is restored yet only after the purging and cleansing for this power is way to stronge to used by just anyone especially if they want harm to any... There are no exclusions in the end

Chris Welch Sally is doing the complete works here....a bit from both tabernacle areas.
Let's look at the gospels and Acts again.
Jesus was the Only Begotten Son of the Father.
Adam, the first man, was scooped up from mud and breathed into.
Sure we were all born except Adam and Eve, but in Adam we were scooped up mud.
Jesus came in the likeness of flesh inserted in Mary's womb by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. Keep that thought.
Then like Adam, Jesus lived a normal life but "acknowledging God in everything". He lived the stages of 1 John 2 naturally and spiritually simultaneously.
At 30, this practiced and trained walk of "doing what He saw the Father doing" was then anointed with the full baptism of the Spirit. Power to do supernatural things. As Fred Pruitt writes, when Jesus stepped out of Jordan a brand new priesthood was formed, without reference to (Levitical) lineage, or to human sin.
Got that so far? By the way I am not saying anything Sally has written is wrong. It's just that she has squashed the whole work of God into one Facebook paragraph!!!

Now comes some amazing stuff.
Jesus calls 12 disciples, and His way of teaching the Kingdom is to let them share somehow......remember before the Cross they were not what we call born again for Jesus had not suffered and died....
yet like some kind of Benny Hinn or Bill Johnson, the disciples were present as Jesus flowed in the Spirit at his gatherings. Somehow under His umbrella they shared His anointing and He actually sent them out, first as 12 then as 70.

This is crazy by human standards
They hadn't passed any exam. they weren't Jewish rabbis and yet almost immediately Jesus is sending them out with the little knowledge of flowing in the Spirit  they had, with the simple words
The Kingdom of God is here and then offering to pray for problems and heal diseases. And both times were a success.

WHY do things this way?

because 1. It ties power in with what it's for....evangelism and proclaiming th Kingdom is at hand.
2. It accelerates believers into maturity, whilst bringing up problems quicker.
Bit like an army boot camp quickly shows physical weaknesses to work on

The disciples worked the most backwards to Jesus.
They weren't born again yet they did receive some share in poiwer. Wow that was a risky combination.
But they quickly matured and by Acts 2 they were already prepared to see the Holy Spirit form generation no.2.....except with them as the mature Jesus types this time presiding over the young Christians who
were born again and baptised in the Spirit from Day 1.
This would be the norm today if pastors and leaders obeyed God but they don't. In fact many pastors have taught and still teach that all supernatural things have now died out.
My generation proved that was cobblers.
We were one of the first genertions in modern times to get virtually converted and baptised in the Spirit at once.
Hopefully as we continue teaching , a growing army of properly evangelised people will continue to grow on earth.

Now about baptism in the Spirit.
When Jesus ascended He gave gifts unto men.
The baptism in the Spirit experience has nothing to do with us.
It has to do with our death in Christ and Christ being raised and pouring out His own anointing oil that He received from the Father upon the New life of Himself in us.
The power of Hod as Sally says purges us.
We do not clean ourselves.
It is part of our salvation.

I personally had spent 12 years being raised in my leftbrain by two physics teachers. When they prayed over a froup of us everybody but me received something immediately.

I got discouraged.
Then my pastor encouraged me by saying
Look you have asked Him to fill you
Just thank Him that He has heard and is answering.

This dot me out of my leftbrain blocking system into moving by faith according to the Word of God.

Pretty soon I was being filled to explosive level. But because of my leftbrain dependency I never spoke in tongues for a month.

And when I did, that was because some people said....
how do you expect to speak in tongues if you don't open your mouth. And even my intellectual wisdom could understand that one !!! So I began by praising the Lord and expecting God to fill my mouth somehow with His words..

Then in home groups and my renewed Baptist church I got practice in praying for the sick by layng hands on , and also prophesying, and tongues with interpretation.

Imran    We are filled with the Spirit when we let the Holy Spirit anoint Jesus inside us. That is the submission...or else you get into works.


Chris Welch In that way it is similar to salvation.. We believe the message about Jesus dying and being raised. We believe it in our heart and we confess it being so, and then we experience salvation.
We don't get baptised in water to save us....but to recognise the death that has already occurred and tell our body it is so.

Making the Switch to Spirit

The rest of Facebook is entirely wrong in trying to change your leftbrain thoughts. All you are doing is staying in default mode which is a "leftbrain" empowered by a false spirit masquerading as you. You are using the same infested tool to try and think yourself out of a spiritual problem. The devil loves this.
No the Bible puts it this way
Enter Into His Gates with thanksgiving...that's the entrance door
and His courts with praise....that's the first area of the heavenly tabernacle.
God has designed music to make the switch for you. You cannot unhook yourself from the independent self by a simple switch of thinking, the whole machinery is infested, and Romans 12.2 supplies the key. Be Transformed by the renewing of your mind. This isn't just using the same old machinery and thinking God thoughts. This is unhinging the old spirit/mind hookup completely by a change of Spirit.
In meetings, how many times have you gone into a meeting all screwed up on a binary decision, a Yes No, one of two choices decision? The devil has had you scewed up on that one for hours.
You enter a meeting and a whole set of other parameters open up as you are all gathering in the Name of Jesus, putting ON HIS MIND.
This is what Jesuits are messing with America right now, getting whites versus blacks. If you entered the heavens Jesus Christ would probably show you what they are doing secretly and get you doing something totally different.
Notice thanksgiving and praise, the entrance....is already a Kingdom protocol that totally ignores everything that your leftbrain is or is not up to. It doesn't aim to answer your screwed up state, it gets you practicing Kingdom protocols which are way above earthly protocols and catch you by the Spirit into your true position again, which is reigning with Christ.
Christ cannot reign on earth without "sons of God". Why? Because He's powerless. NOPE. Because God has exalted His Word even above His Name. So while patiently enduring the blasphemy of His Name, He is catching the sons of Men up into Him to fulfil His original mandate. This is the CHOICE of the Trinity.
He Gave the earth to the sons of Men.
Risky huh?
Except the groaning and the writhing of this present creation was designed to bring forth SONS. In other words we would be too darned uncomfortable we would eventually end up doing what we were asked to do, no commanded to do in the first place....
AMOS : Seek God AND LIVE.
Selah.....for now

New Song - Nothing Is Impossible - Paul Noble

Beginning to Talk about Music

William Goldstein Master Class Improvisation Piano and Chinese Violin
This is one of the videos in a series highlighted by my friend Graham Fitch.

Backtracking about twenty years, a book came out that was called Drawing on the right side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.Convinced it must be of the devil, my friends advised me to keep away from it. Hmmmm those were the days! But what this highlights is the territory being covered by Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks.
The reason I bring this up is that until I was baptized in the Spirit I did not know I was a musician, even though I'd been playing the classical guitar for 3 years. As soon as I'd had this experience and a month later according to scripture started praying in other languages, a deluge of musicality started to manifest. I wrote praise songs. Some are in different songbooks. OK I'm not Graham Kendrick or Matt Redman, but I am in Songs of Fellowship UK book. The Bible makes it clear this is normal, as though music is in all of us. It just needs unlocking. Why else would St Paul write "Be filled with the Spirit and sing new songs?" This actually happened to a whole generation of us in the 70s. Nowadays people have got lazy and just let Darlene Zchech do it all, (and earn the millions commission!!)
I say all this, because I recognize immediately what William Goldstein is doing. In the secular world this seems astonishing...and OK...he does have technical flair....but you know what all over the world in hundreds of thousands of churches the same thing is now happening every Sunday. Such that when a Chris Moyles actually bothers stumbling upon it...he comments. And rightly so. Where do you think Whitney Houston, Mavis Staples, half of Motown, Elvis Presley and everyone learned their stuff? Well it flaming well wasn't school!!! It was church. School is for the left-brain...or has been since the Enlightenment. But if you want to learn where things really happen, you'd best tiptoe down to your local believer's tinpot shack. I mean come on!!!use your brain you secular guys...what's keeping Christians in a tin pot shack chapel? It AIN'T THE ARCHITECTURE!!!!
