Lessons from Ephesians 5 & 6. The Spirit of God should energize your entire life, including these 5 areas:

  • Worship
  • Wed
  • Work
  • War
  • Witness
  • 1. We should be filled DAILY by the Spirit of God, especially in our day-to-day lives, cause that’s where it is often most difficult. "The presence of the negative, drunkenness, or the absence of the positive, Spirit-fullness, in a believer's life, reflects equal disobedience."

    • Discussions from Ephesians 5:15-18

      • 3. We are called to work as we would for Christ. "Energized by the Spirit of God, if we start working like that on Monday, they'll start believing what we're preaching on Sunday."

        • Discussions from Ephesians 6:5-8
        • 4. By being filled with the Holy Spirit, we have authority over evil in the spiritual warfare happening around us.
