In this sermon titled "A Spirit Led Evangelistic Life," the speaker focuses on the story of Philip the Evangelist in the book of Acts. The sermon begins by discussing the events in Samaria, including the sham conversion of Simon the Sorcerer. The Apostles in Jerusalem hear about the conversion of Samaria and send Peter and John to pray for the believers to receive the Holy Spirit. The speaker then explains the transitional nature of the book of Acts, as it marks the shift from the Old Testament to the New Testament and the birth of the church. The sermon emphasizes the importance of understanding this transition to avoid misinterpreting scripture and using it to validate certain activities in one's life.

In this sermon, the speaker discusses the anticipation and excitement of the children of Israel as they finally reach the Promised Land after years of wandering in the desert. Joshua, their leader, instructs them to camp near the Promised Land for three days. He assures them that God is with them and tells them to watch what happens when the priests step into the water of the Jordan River. The speaker emphasizes the importance of looking to Jesus as their example and guide as they enter into a new year.

Zac Poonen emphasizes the necessity of laying everything on the altar to experience a Spirit-filled life, drawing parallels between the Israelites' journey from Egypt to Canaan and the Christian's journey towards spiritual victory. He explains that the two baptisms the Israelites underwent symbolize salvation and the immersion in the Holy Spirit, which is meant to lead believers into a life of victory over sin. Poonen warns against seeking the Holy Spirit for mere experiences, urging believers to trust God fully and to confront the 'giants' of sin in their lives with faith. He highlights that true victory comes from recognizing our position in Christ and actively engaging in the battle against the flesh, rather than living in a state of religious complacency. Ultimately, he calls for a continuous surrender to God, encouraging believers to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance in their daily lives.

Kenneth Wuest emphasizes the significance of living a spirit-filled life, clarifying that it is rooted in sound doctrine rather than emotion. He distinguishes between the anointing with the Spirit, the baptism by the Spirit, and the fullness of the Spirit, explaining that the anointing places the Holy Spirit in the believer, while baptism places the believer in Christ. Wuest highlights that the fullness of the Spirit refers to the ongoing control of the Holy Spirit over the believer's life, which requires a conscious desire and trust in the Spirit. He concludes that living a Spirit-controlled life involves cooperation with the Holy Spirit through prayer, study of the Word, and active faith. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to seek a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit for a victorious Christian life.
