Walk In Your New Identity

Main message: Believers are permanently sealed with the Holy Spirit at conversion, but they must be continually filled with the Spirit because Christians "leak" and need regular refilling to live out their new identity. Neglecting ongoing filling and spiritual practices leads to weariness and exhaustion.

Key points:

• Being sealed with the Holy Spirit is a once-for-all assurance of identity in Christ.
• Being filled with the Spirit is a continual, present-tense command — it must be repeated.
• The speaker uses the signet-ring/wax image to describe sealing.
• People "leak" spiritually and therefore need frequent refilling.
• Lack of regular spiritual disciplines to be filled causes personal and spiritual fatigue.
