Filled with the Spirit?

Many times I wonder what people not familiar with Christian-ese think about our jargon. For example, "He touched me" (lol, where?) or "I wash my robes (in the blood of the Lamb)" - why not wash your shirt? or Kandura? Just find that hilarious.

I was just talking with my mom about being 'Filled with the Spirit'. I partly agree with her on the fact that the Holy Spirit doesn't leave us once we give Him control but can be quenched. Where I disagree is the point that we cannot be filled with more and that God has given the fullness of the Spirit.
I'm not too sure about my position although I'd say that I lean more towards the side of being filled more, continually.

Working at Scott Mission Camp this summer, our theme was 'Fruit of the Spirit'. Our theme passage was (I;m going to say it from memory. Let's see how much I remember) : " For I say, walk by the Spirit and you shall not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are contrary to the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are contrary to the Flesh. They are contrary to one another to keep you doing from the things that you want to do...but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control; Against such there is no law and those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh along with its passions and desires "! Galatians 5:16, 17, 21,22
Honestly, I did not look at the bible. Hopefully, it's correct! That's what repeating it 5 times in 8 weeks can do!

Another scripture on walking in the Spirit :  Romans 8:13,14 : " For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God"

 I am a failure!

Yes, I said it.

I can do nothing. I can try, yes but I WILL fail. I know it. I cannot love every time as Jesus did. I cannot be patient with my family all the time (most of the time, really). I cannot keep my eyes from lusting. I cannot live a holy life.
I need His Spirit EVERY HOUR. Ephesians 5:18- .."Be filled with the Spirit". If you want your Christian life to be out of a place of love and gratitude and not duty, be filled with the Spirit!


Now, how does this look like in a practical sense?
Reading the WOORRDD!!
I was reading this book the other day : 'Radical' be David Platt where he talks about this worship service in Asia. There were no entertainment systems. No keyboards, guitars or any band of any sorts but just God's children and His word. I think as Christians, we have to depend on His word. Meditate on it day and night!
I don't think we live in the Spirit merely by mental assent. We have to submit our will to God daily! That is essential! Romans 12:1-2.

Live in the Spirit. 

God is most glorified when you are most satisfied in Him.
