Being Filled with the Spirit In this powerful message, Pastor Darrell teaches from Ephesians 5:18, where Paul commands believers to “be filled with the Spirit.” Being filled is not optional—it’s essential for the Christian life. Paul compares it to being drunk with wine because both involve control, but while alcohol leads to reckless living, the Holy Spirit empowers, strengthens, and produces godly fruit. Through the example of Acts 2 and clear teaching on the person and power of the Holy Spirit, we learn that being filled brings transformation, boldness, and a lifestyle that honors God. This message confronts misconceptions, reveals the richness of life in the Spirit, and offers practical ways to live a Spirit-filled life every day.
