How To To Get More Holy Spirit Into You

In each Christian, the amount of Holy Spirit in us ebbs and flows, sometimes more, sometimes less. The Holy Spirit is not simply "in us" or "not in us." Once He is in us, we can be "more filled" with Him at some times, "less filled" at others.

For example, Peter had already received the Holy Spirit prior to Acts, Chapter Four. But then he became "filled with the Holy Spirit," and gave the speech in Acts 4:8-12.

       ACTS 4:8-12 (RSV)
        8
               Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,
               "Rulers of the people and elders,
        9
               if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done
               to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed,
        10
               be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel,
               that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you
               crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man
               is standing before you well.
        11
               This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but
               which has become the head of the corner.
        12
               And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no
               other name under heaven given among men by which we must
               be saved."
         _____________________________________________________________

As Christians, we love God and we want to be filled with Him as much as possible all the time. So how do we do this? How do we become more filled with the Holy Spirit?

The Bible identifies three ways:

First, we ask Him for more of Himself;

Second, we act in ways to attract Him to us, not grieve Him and drive Him away from us;

Third, we partake of Holy Communion, eating His body and drinking His blood as He instructed us to do.

       Ask Him For More Of Himself

              "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to
               your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give
               the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" (Luke 11:13 RSV)

      Act To Attract Him, Not To Grieve Him And Drive Him Away

              "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were
               sealed for the day of redemption." (Ephesians 4:30 RSV)

      Partake Of Holy Communion

                   "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in
                    me, and I in him." (John 6:56 RSV)

                   "Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
                    blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples
                    and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."
                    (Matthew 26:26 RSV
