And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18)
Being filled with the Spirit is essential—especially when it comes to staying spiritually alert and resisting demonic influences like witchcraft. The enemy often operates subtly, through fear, manipulation, confusion, and deception. But the one who is filled with the Spirit cannot be outsmarted, for the light always overcomes darkness.
The Word of God shows us how to be filled with the Spirit—by speaking to ourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, by giving thanks, and by walking in submission and reverence to God (ref. Ephesians 5:19-21). This isn’t a one-time experience but a continual stirring of the Spirit who already lives in you.
Think about those times when you spent moments in personal worship, singing or meditating on God’s Word—you likely experienced a surge of boldness, clarity, and inner strength. That’s the infilling at work. The spiritual realm responds when you engage in worship, affirmation of the Word, and spiritual alignment through submission. These are not emotional moments; they are activations of divine strength within you.
In Christ, the Holy Spirit is in you—not visiting you. He is resident. All you need to do is stir Him up, engage in spiritual activity, and live from that consciousness. A believer who is filled with the Spirit is untouchable—witchcraft and all powers of darkness have no hold or access to their life. Therefore, be filled with the Spirit always.
Prayer:
Dear Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit who lives in me. I stir up Your Spirit within me by worship, submission, and the confession of Your Word. I declare that I am spiritually alert, filled with divine strength, and unshakable in Christ. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and no power of witchcraft can touch me, for I walk in the fullness of Your Spirit. Thank You for victory, boldness, and spiritual clarity. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
