People often use this bucket analogy, like the Holy Spirit fills us in terms of a bucket, and because we're faulty, we leak. But that's a faulty analogy. It's more like a ship with a sail. The sail must be full of wind in order to move, in order to thrive, in order to do what its purpose as a ship is to do. And one filling of wind in the sail is not enough. It must be continually filled in order to move forward. This is what it is meant for believers to be continually filled with the Spirit.
