Txt: Eph 5:14-21
The more consistently you and i are filled with the Holy Spirit, the faster we will grow in our faith. It is important to note that the Holy Spirit does not leave us, the depletion of the Spirit's filling that we are concerned with as Christians is the loss of the experience and enjoyment of the Holy Spirit's fellowship and his benefits in our daily lives.

To be "filled" means to be "controlled by". The infilling of the Holy Spirit brings power for holy living ; it manifests with speaking in tongues. You find it impossible doing what you were doing before when you were unregenerate.

PROCESS OF BEING FILLED
*Make worship your lifestyle
*Spending time hearing God's word
*Communing with God and making decisions in line with His word
*Having a spirit of thanksgiving
*An attitude of humble submission towards other believers
*Praying constantly in the spirit

WALKING BY THE SPIRIT
When the Spirit is in control of our lives He gives us power to have victory over the desires of the flesh
Walking in the Spirit is
*Daily and on-going . We must keep on being filled; the infilling of the spirit is not a one- time event; it must be constantly and continuously renewed day by day.
* Requires dedication and is dependent on the Holy Spirit
*Requies submission
*it's destination is to obtain God's glory

Conclusion: Our Growth will show when you are filled with the spirit and walk by the Spirit, the fruit of the Holy Spirit will begin to manifest in your life for yourself and other's enjoyment
