Our first experience with the Holy Spirit is being born again which is a one time occurance. Our second experience with receiving the Holy Spirit is an everyday occurance and it's called being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Everyday we have a choice to make will we walk in the Spirit or in the flesh. Everyday we get to make the choice and the way we make that choice is through being filled through prayer, worship, and praise. Everyday when we choose to pray and spend time in God's presence we are filled with the Spirit.
Galatians tells us that the fruit of the Spirit which is produced by being filled is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. When we get into God's presence and get filled these attributes become the way we live.
Being filled with the Holy Spirit will transform you into the image of Christ. This is why it's so important to spend time in prayer, worship and praise everyday. It fills you and transforms you into the image of Christ.
How do I receive the Holy Spirit? Spend time everyday in His presence through prayer, praise and worship. In His presence you are filled and transformed!
