So How does God fill us? And with what?

The Holy Spirit is Good

Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake

instead of a fish, will he? Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will

he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit

to those who ask Him?”Luke 11:11-13

The Holy Spirit is Good

And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good?

No one is good except God alone.”

Luke 18:19

The Holy Spirit lives in believers

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit

who is in you, whom you have from God,

and that you are not your own?

1 Corinthians 6:19

The Holy Spirit is powerful & purposeful

for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.

Acts 1:5

But why the term “baptism”

Living a Full Filled life

And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

-Acts 13:52
