Going Higher with Jesus Christ: Lord, Fill Me with the Holy Spirit

“Be filled with the Spirit.” – Ephesians 5:18

Introduction

In a world marked by distractions, pressures, and spiritual battles, it’s impossible to live a victorious Christian life without divine empowerment. As we journey through life and seek to go higher with Jesus Christ, there must be a deep, personal longing in our hearts for more of God—not just in word, but in power. And that power is found in the person of the Holy Spirit.

Why the Holy Spirit Matters

The Holy Spirit is not an optional part of the Christian experience; He is the very engine of our spiritual lives. Jesus Himself told His disciples not to begin their ministry until they were “endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). This power comes only by being filled with the Holy Spirit.

When we are filled with the Spirit, we rise above the ordinary. Fear is replaced by boldness. Confusion gives way to divine direction. Weakness is exchanged for supernatural strength. More than that, the Holy Spirit empowers us to reflect Christ—not just in what we say, but in how we live. He produces in us the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22–23).

Living the Spirit-Filled Life

Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not a one-time encounter—it is a daily posture of surrender. Each day presents a new opportunity to empty ourselves of pride, fear, and fleshly desires, and be filled afresh with God’s presence. A Spirit-filled life is a Christ-centered life, full of passion, purity, and purpose.

This level of spiritual living is not reserved for a few “special” believers. It is God’s desire for every child of His to be filled—overflowing with His Spirit, led by His voice, and transformed by His power.

Final Thoughts

To go higher with Jesus Christ is to go deeper in our walk with the Holy Spirit. It’s a life marked by divine direction, supernatural power, and spiritual maturity. In these critical times, the Church doesn’t need more activities—we need more anointing. We need believers who are burning with the fire of God and walking in His wisdom.

So today, make it your prayer: “Lord, fill me with the Holy Spirit.” Let it be your pursuit, your desire, and your lifestyle. As you yield to Him, you’ll be amazed at how high you’ll soar with Jesus Christ.

Call to Action

Are you hungry for more of God in your life? Don’t settle for empty religion or surface-level Christianity. Ask God daily to fill you with the Holy Spirit. Spend time in prayer, in the Word, and in worship. Make room for Him—and He will take you higher than you’ve ever imagined.
