WITNESS HIS POWER!
HOLY SPIRIT-FILLED
Jesus Christ said that signs and wonders follow those who believe. He said that In His name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. (Mark 16:17-18}
The Holy Spirit takes up residency in the spirit of a believer once the born-again believer confesses Jesus Christ as Lord over his/her life (Romans 10:9). He is now considered a child of God and a member of the household of faith.

The next stage is the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.I want to stress that speaking in tongues is not a prerequisite to being born again. However, being born again is a prerequisite to being able to speak in tongues. The scripture above says that it is the believer that will speak with new tongues (languages). In the book of John, chapter fourteen, Jesus tells the disciples that He will be leaving them shortly and that they will be grieved about it. But He encourages them by saying that the Holy Spirit will take upon His ministry and that He will comfort them.
John 14:16,17 – And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you.
THE INFILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS A PURPOSE
The Lord has told us through the scriptures that this world is in a fallen state. The god of this world (satan) is dominating it with his evil nature. Safety is in Christ Jesus. Although every believer translated into the Kingdom of God, we exist on this physical earth amid spiritual warfare. The forces of darkness have their hierarchy of evil dominance, and their intentions are to will it upon believers and non-believers. Salvation goes beyond escaping the sentence of eternal damnation. It also encompasses living a life on earth in the perfect will of God. Living in the perfect will of God equates to conflict with higher levels of the forces of darkness in opposition to you. Therefore, you need the Highest power working in you, giving you supernatural insight, (God’s wisdom) into the matters that are not obvious to the optical eyes
POWER AT WORK IN YOU
The Holy Spirit is the active third person of the Godhead. He releases the power that results in signs and wonders. I am not implying that you cannot receive a miracle without the infilling; even unbelievers receive miracles. When a child comes into the world, it is a miracle. Or if a person gets supernatural strength to accomplish a task to save a life out of desperation and so forth. It is a miracle each time the cycle continues to pour onto the earth. We have a gracious God that does things out of His nature for His purposes.

However, there are times when we feel weak, drained of strength, and ideas. This is why we need to take advantage of the treasure that the Lord has made available to us through tongues. When a believer prays in tongues, he is enforcing his blood-bought right to act out in faith by yielding his tongue, vocal cords, and mouth to the Holy Spirit. He/she speaks by faith as the Holy Spirit gives the utterance.

In conclusion, Holy Spirit-filled means you have the supernatural power of God working through you manifesting signs and wonders.
God bless you.
