Power Surge | Living Spirit-Filled in a Spirit-Starved World

Power Surge | Living Spirit-Filled in a Spirit-Starved World

In this dynamic message from the Be Rich series, Pastor Darrell uses the imagery of a surge protector to ask: What’s blocking your spiritual power? From Ephesians 5, he calls the church to experience a personal “power surge” of the Holy Spirit—one that fuels worship, gratitude, obedience, and boldness. Through powerful personal stories and clear biblical teaching, this sermon reminds us that being filled with the Holy Spirit is not optional, it’s commanded. If you’re ready to live a Spirit-led life of purpose and passion, this message is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• We need a spiritual power surge: Just like appliances need power to function, Christians need to be filled daily with the Holy Spirit.
• Being filled with the Spirit is not a suggestion—it’s a command (Ephesians 5:18).
• You can have the Spirit resident in you, but not president over you: The Holy Spirit may be in your life, but are you letting Him lead?
• The Spirit-filled life shows up in how you worship, speak, serve, and submit.
• Three marks of a Spirit-filled life:
• Worship – You want to sing, praise, and honor God with your whole heart.
• Gratitude – You live with thankfulness, not grumbling.
• Submission – You honor and yield to God and others in humility.
• Yesterday’s filling won’t fuel today’s faith: Just like a fresh cup of coffee, you need a daily refill of God’s presence.
• You don’t have to ask if someone is Spirit-filled—you can see it: A Spirit-filled life is visible and impactful.
• God's Spirit doesn’t just fill us for our benefit—but to overflow into the lives of others.
