Throughout the last several decades, the idea of being filled with The Spirit has meant different things. When we look at Scripture, the true purpose of being baptized in The Holy Spirit becomes clear. It is about empowering the believer to live on mission for God.

When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives He gives us supernatural abilities so that we can advance the mission of God. Too often these gifts are misunderstood and sometimes even feared. What we need to realize is that they are simply meant to strengthen and empower the Body of Christ.

What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? Many people too often reject the Holy Spirit because of confusion or a misunderstanding of His role in their life.

Destination is important. Without a destination in mind, we don't really have a sense of direction.

At some point in our lives, nearly everyone asks the question, "Why am I here?". We all seek to have purpose and to find the true direction for our lives. To answer this important question, we first have align ourselves with God's purpose and calling.

One of the persistent themes in John's Gospel is Jesus being the Light of the World. As human beings, we so often find ourselves wandering in darkness, but Jesus gives us the light that leads to life.

Throughout Scripture, the imagery of a river is used to describe the Holy Spirit. Out of the river of The Spirit flows the waters of life and we are invited to come and drink!

Why am I here? What am I supposed to do? These are questions we ask ourselves at some point in our lives. God's word says that He has a plan for us, and that plan is purpose. Our goal should be to align ourselves with God's plan, and in turn, find our true purpose in life.
