There is a big difference between a Spirit filled moment, and a Spirit filled life. God, the Holy Spirit, makes Himself known and felt in a wonderful way when He comes upon us in great power or softly and as gently as a dove. One "Spirit filled moment" can change the direction of a life forever because God steps out of the realm of doctrine and theology and into the realm of experience. However, God does not want us to always be looking back to that mountain top experience. He wants us to walk in the Spirit and to constantly be being filled with the Spirit. Then, and only then, will we be where God wants us to be in our Christian life.
Gal. 5:16-26; Eph. 5:18
