Filled With the Holy Spirit


Come and fill me up.

His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied.

Luke 1:67

Prophecy not only predicts but also proclaims God's word.
Both Zechariah and Elizabeth (vv. 41-45) were enabled by the Holy Spirit
to express what otherwise they could not have formulated.
- Commentary from The NIV Study Bible

I am amazed. Every time I stand before them, telling of the story of Jesus,
I can feel I am empowered to deliver the message.

I think I am prophesying, not in a sense of prediction, but of proclamation.

Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let earth receive her king!
