Be Filled with The Spirit Bow down daily; giving thanks and praise to The
Lord; Fast and pray--as He gently leads--for one another’s
needs; Worship Jesus in the secret place where no one else
can see: Then, take time to listen as The Father
speaks to your heart; Sing psalms and hymns and Spiritual songs aloud to
all:

Reference: (All Scriptures from the New International Version) Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as
wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore
do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on
wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to
one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your
heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for
Christ. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I
will lift up my hands. I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer,
without anger or disputing. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for
mercy. Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient
doors, that the King of glory may come in. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with
praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your
waves and breakers have swept over me. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in
the shadow of the Almighty. Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a
fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the
Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them,
and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you
will be wise. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful
nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep
in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each
other. Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the
winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go. He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory,
because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the
earth, the sea and the springs of water." So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer
and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of
prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for
all the saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be
given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm
of praise. God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.
