That Spirit-Filled Lifestyle

Hi everybody! I've been wanting to start a blog for awhile now but I didn't know what I would write about, what I should name it, etc. Today, I began a study with an older lady from my church about relying on the Holy Spirit and I can tell already my relationship with the Lord will grow by leaps and bounds by this. So I decided, why not make this blog about Him? After all, everything we do we are to do it for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). I love reading and writing blogs, so why not dedicate this to the Lord?

While reading the introduction I was completely awe-struck by some of the things Charles Stanley says.  The link to read this book is here, I would highly recommend it! If I could write the whole Introduction, I would but I'll just share some of my favorite parts...

"The Spirit-Filled life is the only way for a Christian to experience all that God has for a person to be, say and do. It is life to the fullest, the true abundant life that Jesus promised."

John 10:10 says, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

"God doesn't call you or anyone to just an adequate Christian life. He desires to have a daily walking-and-talking relationship with you in which you experience His presence, trust Him for wisdom, courage, and strength, and rely on Him for results..."

And here is my favorite..

"The Lord desires to live within you. He desires to communicate to you and through you. He desires to live out His life through your expression of it- a perfect blending of His perfection and your unique talents, traits and personality."

How great is our God! He is so awesome! Ahhhh, I just want to go share His love with everyone around me!

I hope you all have a Spirit-filled day!
