A.W. Tozer emphasizes the necessity of desiring to be filled with the Holy Spirit, challenging the audience to reflect on their true willingness to be possessed by God's Spirit. He points out that mere attendance or verbal expressions of desire do not equate to a genuine longing for the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Tozer warns that being filled with the Spirit means surrendering control and allowing the Spirit to be the Lord of one's life, which can be a daunting prospect. He encourages believers to earnestly seek this filling, recognizing the profound implications it has for their spiritual journey. The sermon concludes with a heartfelt invitation for the Holy Spirit to come and fill their lives.

Zac Poonen emphasizes the importance of seeking the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the same persistence as Elisha demonstrated in following Elijah. Elisha's desire for a double portion of Elijah's spirit illustrates the need for believers to pursue a deeper relationship with God rather than settling for less. Poonen encourages Christians to not be satisfied with partial experiences but to press on for God's best, reminding them that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a significant and challenging request that requires faith and focus on Jesus as the true Baptizer. He highlights that true anointing will manifest in one's life and ministry, reflecting the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, Poonen assures that those who earnestly seek will not be disappointed by God.

Theodore Epp emphasizes that the fullness of the Holy Spirit begins with a deep thirst for God, which leads to a desire for obedience and trust in Him. He explains that to be filled with the Spirit, one must first recognize the need to be separated from sin and the world, and actively seek the fruit of the Spirit in their lives. Epp highlights that true spiritual life is achieved by yielding to the Holy Spirit's control, allowing rivers of living water to flow from within. The sermon encourages believers to continuously trust in Christ not only for salvation but also for the ongoing filling of the Spirit. Ultimately, the message calls for a commitment to enthrone Christ as Lord in our lives.
