And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge
and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be
pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness
that comes through Jesus Christ- to the glory and praise of God.
(Philippians 1.9-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
That you may really come to know through experience
for yourselves the love of Christ, which far surpasses
mere knowledge without experience; that you may be
filled through all your being unto all the fullness of God
and may have the richest measure of the divine Presence,
and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself!
UNDERSTANDING
Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but
understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be
filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit.
(Ephesians 5.17 and 18).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) Awake and fully alive to the purposes and plan of our
Lord and Savior we can live out His Life in His Light by the
accurate and precise guidance of the Holy Spirit, sensibly,
wisely and intelligently.
2) Making the best of our time by prioritizing His Kingdom and
His righteousness we can be on target and effective.
3) Maximizing His glory requires our clear understanding and
firmly grasping of His priorities for our life. This is predicated on
knowing His will precisely. This is possible when you are filled with
the Holy Spirit.
4) That is why St. Paul is telling us not to be high or drunk with wine
or by other means. Instead we must be filled and stimulated with the
Holy Spirit always.
This verse is a call to many who are trying to know God’s will for their
lives, but are distracted by many things, pulled in many directions,
perhaps seeking stimulation by other means. It is imperative that we
are fully awake, alert, sober, intelligent and have our wits about us.
It is vital at this hour to redeem the time because we need to have clear
minds unclouded, unimpaired and unimpeded . It is absolutely important
and possible for you to know God’s will and direction for you in every
situation and for every decision. This can happen for you when you are
filled, stimulated and led by the Holy Spirit.
PRAISE THE LORD JESUS FOR HIS INDESCRIBABLE GIFT!
HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
CALLED TO JOY
Rejoice in the Lord always.
Again I say, rejoice!
(Philippians. 4.4).
Rejoice! Be filled with the
joy of the Holy Spirit.
BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God,
for it is not subject to the law of God,
nor indeed can be.
So then, those who are in the flesh can not please God.
BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit,
if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.
Now if anyone does not
have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin,
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead
dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will
also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit
who dwells in you.
( Romans 6.7-11).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION
1) Carnal mind is against God
2) The problem of the carnal mind
3 The prerequisite of being in the Spirit
4) Definition of a spiritual person
5) The body is dead due to sin
6) The Holy Spirit is life
7) The Holy Spirit accomplishes the resurrection

HOW GREAT AND AWESOME
For this reason I bow my knees to the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
From whom the whole family in
heaven and earth is named,
That He would grant you,
according to the riches of
His glory, to be strengthened
with might through His Spirit
in the inner man,
That Christ may dwell in your hearts
through faith
that you, being rooted
and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with
all the saints what is the width
and length and depth and height-
To know the love of Christ
which passes knowledge,
that you may be filled with all
the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do
exceedingly abundantly above
and beyond all that we ask or
think, according to the power
that works in us,
To Him be glory in the church
by Christ Jesus to all generations,
forever and ever. Amen!
(Ephesians 3.14-21).
