Thank you so very much for sharing your insights and for those beautiful Scriptures!

Speaking of "filling" ...

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. - Acts 2:4

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, - Acts 4:8

Then Saul, (who also [is called] Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, - Acts 13:9

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. - Ephesians 3:19

To God be the glory!

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, - Acts 4:8

Then Saul, (who also [is called] Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, - Acts 13:9

AMEN!

Thank you for those perfect examples of human beings besides Mary who were "filled with the Holy Spirit."

As you and I and all Bible-believing Christians are likewise filled, by the grace of God for His glory.
