"And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.” (NASB)
STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS
"And the disciples were continually filled (pleroo: complete, made full, abounding in, liberally supplied) with joy (chara: joyfulness, gladness) and with the Holy Spirit.”
SUMMARY
The disciples were always found to be abounding with joy, gladness and the Holy Spirit (at the referred to time anyway).
MEDITATION
I recently can't seem to shake the fact that a true follower of Christ will be overrun with joy. Joy is deeper than an emotion and is not always shown as a "mood". Joy goes deep and is rooted in the Lord's love for us. What does it look like for you to be abounding in joy? Are you filled completely with the Holy Spirit? Today, pour out yourself and ask the Lord to pour in... to the fullest.

- ** Search for "Path To Zion Podcast" on YouTube or go to pathtozion.com, Joel's primary source of publishing these days. ** I'm pretty much your average 50 year old guy that lives in the beautiful mountains of Southwestern Virginia. I love being a daddy and a husband. I live to be continually conformed into the image of Christ and believe that I exist to bring Heaven down to the earth. I love to challenge what you believe - not so that I can prove that either of us are right or wrong, but to get you to know why you believe what you do. I'm not into conferences, glory meetings or hyped up Christianity. Nor am I stagnant and zombie-fied in ignorance and spiritual depravity while snoring in a church pew. Are these our only two options? Who will mature in Christ and seek to be conformed to His image above all else? I used to write.... ALOT. I started two books that have been temporarily "shelved" until some spare time returns. I long for Christ's sleeping church to awaken and share this whenever I can. I believe and personally know that God speaks to people today. Will you heed His voice? Feel free to email me at: pathtozionpodcast[@]gmail.com .
