1 John 4v8 - "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."

The sign that one's life is filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit is the overflow of the expression of love.

2 Timothy 1v6 'For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands"

The Holy Spirit will have a powerful effect in our lives when He is fan into flame

Ephesians 5v18 (AMP) - "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him."

Being filled means allowing our lives and living to be under the Spirit's control and influence (just like how alcohol influences and controls a drunk person)

John 14v16-17 "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you."

The Holy Spirit is a person. The implication of that is that we ought to fellowship with Him

Luke 11v13 - "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

The Holy Spirit is God's gift to us to help us live the Christian life. There cannot be a fruitful walk with the Lord without the Holy Spirit

Ephesians 2v10 - "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

- Our daily lives must be about good works because we are saved

- Our daily lives must be about growing in our intimate fellowship with God

Colossians 1v10 - "so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;"

We must live as though we have an audience of one; God Almighty

Daniel 1v8 - "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself."

Philippians 2v15 - "that you may become blameless and [a]harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,"

We may be the only demonstration of Jesus some people will ever see. Let's represent Him wherever we are

Philippians 2v6,7 - "who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. "

Jesus did all He did in spite of His divinity and His greatness. That is the perfect example of Humility
