A Song Filled Heart
Do songs of praise to God flood your soul? Is there an overwhelming sense of joy and peace in your life? The filling of the Spirit makes this possible.
Believers are commanded to be filled (controlled, yielded to) the Holy Spirit. "Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you. Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to the Lord in your hearts." (Eph. 5:18-19 NLT)
Yes, the spirit-filled Christian enjoys a song-filled heart. The fruits of the spirit-filled life are also evident. Some of these are: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23).
Would you like for these characteristics to describe you? Do you want a song-filled heart? You Can!
Prayer: "Lord, I want to be filled with your presence. I release control of my life and ask for You to take control. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
Blessings!

ALIVE!
"Once you were dead, doomed forever because of your many sins. You used to live just like the rest of the world, full of sin, obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air. . . but God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so very much, that even while we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's special favor that you been saved!) For He raised us from the dead along with Christ, and we are seated with Him in the heavenly realms - all because we are one with Christ Jesus."
(Eph. 2:1-2, 4-6 NLT)
Yes, believer - You are alive in Christ Jesus. Thank God for salvation!
Prayer: "Lord, thank you for saving me. In Jesus' Name, Amen!"
Blessings!
