John 16:20 - "...ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy." In this passage, Christ tells his friends that they will be heartbroken, but the Spirit will comfort them. As men, we balk at expressing sorrow. Typically, we display anger when really we are hurting and sad. But, Jesus wept, right? He cried so for Lazarus's death that those who were there exclaimed, "Behold how he loved him!" When sorrow comes, we should allow ourselves to experience it, express it, and then welcome the Spirit to comfort us. - Daniel Holser

Acts 13:52 - "And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost." Real joy comes as we are filled with the Spirit. I want to ask God each day for the fullness of the Spirit, and consequently a life filled with joy. - John Mark Brothers

Acts 1:8 - “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..." Are you filled with the power of the Holy Spirit to the point that if the Holy Spirit were taken from this world right now, would your life continue on unchanged, or would it feel as if you had lost everything? - Steve Boots
