Tozer's four passages for how to be filled: present your vessel (Romans 12:1-2), ask (Luke 11:11-13), obey (Acts 5:32), and have faith (Galatians 3:2-3). Along the way: disturbance and emptiness before the filling, why despair does not earn the Spirit but breaks up fallow ground, Moody's empty glass, and the anointing that is not gradual.
