Sermon Overview
Reidhead emphasizes that the "filling" of the Spirit is not a one-time event but a lifestyle. He outlines the "laws of the Spirit," which include walking in the light, immediate confession of sin, and a persistent "yes" to God's will. He warns that the Spirit is "grieved" by self-will and "quenched" by disobedience.
Key Principles
Present-Continuous:Treat the "filling of the Spirit" as a leaky bucket that needs constant refilling through surrender.
Walking in Light:Practice "radical transparency" with God to maintain the flow of His indwelling presence.
Immediate Confession:Cleanse the "soot" of sin immediately through confession to keep the Spirit's light bright.
Surrendered Will:Maintain a "constant Yes" to God's promptings to remain in the center of His power.
Still Small Voice:Practice "listening" in the quiet; learn to distinguish God's whisper from your own desires.
Grieving/Quenching:Immediately stop any activity that causes a "loss of peace," as this indicates the Spirit is grieved.
Discipline of Word: Use the daily intake of the Bible to "sanitize" your mind and keep the channel of the Spirit open.
Prerequisite for Service: Refuse to attempt "spiritual work" (teaching, giving, leading) unless you are currently filled.
