Simpson emphasizes the distinction between having the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit, illustrating that many believers may possess the Spirit yet lack the fullness that empowers their lives.

Ultimately, he encourages believers to seek the fullness of the Spirit for a transformative life that overflows with God's blessings to others.
