Summary

(Ephesians 5:18-21) Singing, gratitude, and submission are three marks of a Spirit-filled life. Are you at this moment a Spirit-filled believer?

0:00.0	The best gifts are not material but spiritual, not temporal, but eternal, and not earthly, and not earthly, but heavenly.
0:16.9	In the book of Ephesians, we discover a rich list of what God has given to his children.
0:23.2	Let's join Scott Pauley now as we open this portion of scripture and take inventory of all spiritual
0:30.0	blessings that are ours in Christ.
0:40.7	Are you a spirit-filled Christian?
0:44.9	I mean by that, are you filled with the Holy Spirit of God at this moment?
0:48.0	I'm not simply asking, does the Holy Spirit live in you?
0:49.9	Because if you're a Christian, he does.

1:28.9	yet again, I think the greatest spiritual blessing is the Spirit himself. The Holy Spirit comes and brings every good thing from God with Him
1:35.2	into our lives. And in our last study, we looked at the opening 17 verses of Ephesians 5,
1:41.4	at the fruit of the Spirit. Well, make this connection in your thinking between the fruit of the spirit and the filling
1:47.2	of the spirit.
1:48.7	You can't have the fruit of the spirit if you are not filled with the Holy Spirit.
1:53.3	Because the fruit of the spirit is not something you put on or something you work up.
