DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the transformative power of being filled with
the Holy Spirit, which leads to spiritual purity, victory, joy, and
physical healing. He asserts that when we are fully filled with the
Spirit, there is no room for sin or worry, and we become empowered for
service, repelling the forces of evil. Simpson encourages believers to
approach God with an empty and trusting heart to receive this command
and privilege of fullness in the Spirit. He highlights that this
fullness is not just a blessing but a necessity for a victorious
Christian life. The sermon concludes with a heartfelt invitation for the
Holy Spirit to dwell within us and guide us to our promised rest.

Blessed secret of spiritual purity, victory and joy, of physical life
and healing and all power for service! Filled with the Spirit there is
no room for self or sin, for fret or care. Filled with the Spirit we
repel the elements of disease that are in the air as the red-hot iron
repels the water that touches it. Filled with the Spirit we are always
ready for service, and Satan turns away when he finds the Holy Spirit
enrobing us in His garments of holy flame. Not half-filled, but filled
with the Spirit-this is the place of victory and power! It is not only a
privilege; it is a command.

And He who gave it will enable us to fulfill it if we bring it to Him
with an empty, honest, trusting heart and claim our privilege in the
name of Jesus and for the Glory of God.

Holy Ghost, I bid Thee welcome; Come and be my Holy Guest; Heavenly Dove
within my bosom, Make Thy home and build Thy nest; Lead me on to all Thy
fullness, Bring me to Thy Promised Rest, Holy Ghost, I bid Thee welcome,
Come and be my Holy Guest.
