What are you full of?
In the Bible it talks about being filled with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. Now there are many arguments whether those two go hand in hand or not. I'm not here to debate that. I will say they are both great and I encourage you to check them both out more. Especially being full of the Holy Spirit and having sex with your spouse! (more on that topic to come, stay tuned) Ok so this is proving to be an interesting, straight up post.
So initially I was going to talk about being Full of the Holy Spirit and I will touch on that however, when I went to do research on www.biblegateway.com I discovered a whole bunch of things people could be filled with. Search "Filled Spirit"
filled with the Spirit of God
filled with power
filled with the spirit of wisdom
filled with rage
filled with Holy Spirit
Whatever you are filling your life with, evenutally you will be full of that. Deep I know. When you are full of something it causes you to act. Here we go.
Full of words -you want to speak
Full of Holy Spirit - you want to do God's will
Full of wisdom - you know what to do and want to do it
Full of Faith - you want to do
Full of doubt - you tend to question or avoid
Full of fear - you tend to hide or lash out
Full of shit - well garbage in garbage out
Like the example I gave my kids about us all being 341 mL coke cans. (If we are open we are crushable and if we're full and sealed we can't be crushed but realisitically we don't ever stay sealed very long.)
So 2 questions for you....
What are you filling your can / life with ? What does that make you full of ?
When the pressures of life come and squish you what are you going to spew onto those around you?
Pressures will come. Don't be ignorant as I was to that.
Fill yourself with Christ.You will do things that will blow your mind. Luke 9:1When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
We are to be his disciples so guess what you have the ablitiy to do those things too.
You won't be bored. Freaked maybe but not bored. And life will be way more than you could ever imagine.
Want some?
