The Last Command

Being filled with the Holy Spirit goes beyond the initial indwelling that occurs at salvation - it requires a specific invitation and willingness from believers. This divine empowerment provides power for serving God, victory over sin, and the production of spiritual fruit. To experience this filling, Christians must make themselves available to God, empty themselves of self, maintain spiritual cleanliness, and cultivate spiritual thirst. Common barriers include ignorance, fear of surrender, worldliness, and unbelief, but through faith and simple obedience, believers can experience the transformative power of the Spirit's fullness.
