When we manifest in our everyday lives the fruit of the indwelling, or filling, of the Holy Spirit, we become Christlike, a process that takes time and reflects sanctification. What ARE the fruits of the Spirit? They are:
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Spiritual power is the “consistent exhibition of the characteristics of the Lord Jesus in the believer’s life. And this is the activity of the Holy Spirit, of whom the Lord Jesus said, ‘He shall glorify me’. . . . The way to spiritual power is to be filled with the Spirit, which simply means to be controlled by the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).” [Ryrie]
In Chapter Four of my second book, The Boundless Love of God: A Holy Spirit Story, pages 31-32, I include discussions of the baptism, filling and indwelling of the Holy Spirit. It is helpful to understand the distinguishing features of these three terms.
