Filled with the Spirit

"The apostle urges that the utmost room should be made for the Spirit; that a man should possess the Divine gift in its utmost measure. He seems to suggest that there are degrees of possession; there are measurements we make, limitations we impose, and in his eager way he urges that we make the utmost room for the Spirit's fullness. Do not go in for small measures; do not restrict your allowance. The gift of the Spirit is not on a rationing basis. Do not confine yourself to mean and petty degrees of the Spirit, "Be filled with the Spirit." There is no surfeit here, nor need there be any restriction." - The Life of a Christian - John MacBeth
