There’s a constant infilling of God’s Spirit that you ought to be experiencing everyday of your life. God says, “be filled with the Spirit” meaning it’s your responsibility to be filled. He also lets you know how to do it – He says, “speaking to yourselves,” this doesn’t mean speaking to one another; it means I’m talking to me and you’re talking to you, Hallelujah!
How important words are in the Kingdom of God! God wants you to always speak to yourself in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. That’s another way of telling you to speak His Word always. As you do, you’re constantly being filled with the Spirit, and when you’re filled with the Spirit, it becomes impossible for you to despair, be frustrated or despondent in life.
But do you know that you can quench the power of God’s Spirit in your life by speaking negatively? Yes you can! When you say things like, “Life is so hard; things are so bad; I don’t know what’s happening to me; I’m so frustrated; I’m so confused; I don’t have anybody to help me...” you’re actually quenching the fire of God’s Spirit in your life. Rather than talk yourself down, there’s something good you can say to you! You can begin by speaking to yourself in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. You can also sing and make melody in your heart to the Lord.
Don’t talk your frustrations; you’re the King’s kid. The Bible says, “…count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations” (James 1:2) because you’re more than a conqueror. Never talk failure; talk success and it will be impossible for you to go down!
