A Continuous Refilling

Acts 2:1-4

1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
NKJV

Eph 5:18

18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled [pleerousthe] with the Spirit,
NKJV

18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit.

My Comments:

As much as we have been filled with the Holy Spirit, it's not enough to just stay satisfied at having been filled once!

Several Greek scholars agree that in his letter to the Church at Ephesus, Paul wrote Eph 5:18 as a command to the believers. It was not a suggestion, or a plea! Not only that, they also agree that it was written in present continuous tense, which means that it was not just a one-off case. It was a command to always stay continuously filled with the Spirit!

Likewise as members of the Body, how much more we should endeavor to stay continuously filled with the Spirit and not leak!

Confession:

I'm not satisfied with being filled with God once! I choose to stay filled with Him continuously! I will be filled with Him till I'm overflowing and I will not leak!
