  • Present Continuous Tense, Passive Voice

    Precious One, I pray you hear and receive this:  "...ever be being filled {and} stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit!"

    The Apostle Peter walked upon the water until he took his eyes off Jesus and began to pay attention to the storm.  Peter himself had set the conditions of his own ability to walk on the water as he saw his Master doing:  He said, "Lord, if that is really you, bid me to come out there to you."  Peter knew who Jesus is!  Peter had listened to all that Jesus had taught!  Peter applied the lessons!  Jesus said to Peter then, "Come."  And Peter fixed his eyes upon the Lord Jesus Christ and stepped out of the boat!  By the power of God, he walked upon the stormy sea!

    The skeptic will say that was back then; Peter actually lived with Jesus.  But the believer knows that Jesus is alive right now and He is as near as our breath in the Holy Spirit.  The believer knows, or is diligently studying to know, that all things are possible in Christ.   Therefore, the Apostle Paul reminds us to: "... be being constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude]" Eph 4:23 Amp;  and "...ever be being filled {and} stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit"   Eph 5:18 Amp.

    Are we not now in the same boat as Peter was then?
