Want To Be Full Of The Holy Spirit?
Acts 6:3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;
When my life is over I would want it to be said of me that I was a man with a good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom. I would also want to be used like these men to help further the kingdom. How can that happen in my life? I believe that Paul gave young Timothy the instructions on how to be a man like this.
2nd Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
Lord Jesus, I desire to be full of the Holy Spirit like these seven men in the book of Acts. Help me to live out these instructions that Paul gave Timothy so that I am always ready to be used by You for Your Holy purposes.
