I believe that the flesh is the refuge of pride and that your
act of surrender attacks the refuge, and is what the Spirit most desires and
the flesh most resists?
So, here is a challenge from Romans 12:1, “I urge you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy
sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.”

This presenting or
surrender is fundamental to God filling us with the Holy Spirit. This surrender
is a conscious act on our part where we deliberately choose to yield everything
to Him. The only limit to being filled with the Spirit is that which you impose
in the limitation of your surrender.
Will you search your heart and consider these questions:
What have I held back from the LORD and His will?
What reservations have I placed on God and what He can do in
my life or with my life?
The more absolutely you yield yourself, time, talents,
possessions, plans, and dreams—yes, all to Jesus Christ—the more you will know
the blessed fullness of His Spirit. You can have all the fullness you will make
room for.
Will you allow yourself to surrender all to the LORD now?
Stop where you are, kneel, and tell God He may do in you, or to you, or through
you whatever He chooses. God is waiting for you.
