Fulness of Holy Spirit at Extended Family Function (John 20:20-22, Eph 5:17-18, Acts 19:2-6)

Intercessor · May 28, 2024

I used to wonder how wedding celebrations and feasts could last a week or more in the Bible (John 2:1), but not anymore. We have had family (and their friends) over at our place from ages of less than 1 year old, to 3, to 6, to pre-teen, teen and up to about 30s and even some grandparents of up to later 50s -- for six (6) days now... I am from the U.S., and we simply get together for Thanksgiving, or Christmas, possibly birthdays, big graduations, weddings -- then leave the same day. The exception is New Year's Eve where sometimes people stay over to avoid drunk drivers or drunk driving themselves. I ask for extended grace (have 1 sibling). I ask for grace to pray and read the Bible, open doors for the gospel (Eph 6:19), that God opens eyes and ears (Prov 20:12), draws hearts (Ps 110:3, Jer 31:3, Hosea 11:4, John 6:44, Acts 14:1, Rom 2:4, Rom 9:16) and for the fullness of The Holy Spirit (John 20:21-22, Acts 19:5-6, Eph 5:18-19). I also ask that the place stays nice, that people wipe their feet before coming inside, flush the toilet rather than using a bucket of water and thus soaking the bathroom floor, and for grace to relax in my own household (Acts 16:31-32). Grace to be a good host. That everyone would be safe, open to the gospel and Christ, and be thankful for food, fun and fellowship. I ask we could watch movies together, sing good karaoke songs and party in a healthy, clean way -- Filipino Style. Safety driving for all who come and go (Ps 91:10-11). I ask in Jesus' Name to be filled with the Holy Spirit and find my wedding ring (Matt 7:7), not be too concerned with the particulars (Ecc 7:20-21). I do ask the children be supervised for safety and for the honor of God and parents (Ex 20:12, Deut 5:16, Eph 6:2-3). Thank you in Jesus' Name.

John 20:20 "After He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Again Jesus said to them, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.' 22 When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.'”

Acts 19:2 "Paul asked them, 'Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?' 'No,' they answered, 'we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 “Into what, then, were you baptized?' Paul asked. 'The baptism of John,' they replied. 4 Paul explained: 'John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.' 5 On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied."

Eph 5:17 "Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord."
