Filled with the Spirit
Eph 5:13-17 know what the will of the Lord is…
The primary purpose of a gathering of the “ecclesia” is to discern the will of God. This involves becoming connected to His living presence, and then agreeing on His Word to us together — as one.
Eph 5:18-21 submitting to one another…
The atmosphere of mutual submission is where the full manifestation of God’s love, power, and wisdom, may become manifest. As the godhead manifests as three-in-one, so does His body when we submit to one another.
Eph 5:18 do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation
Dissipation [asotia] “Un-salvation”
Any cheap substitute for what Jesus offers us (life …more abundantly) leads us away from His presence. It’s idolatry.
Eph 5:18-21 be filled with the Spirit…
speakingto one another in:
Psalms: Words (usually scripture) put to music in order to inspire, encourage, pray, praise and worship. Everything the book of Psalms does — is a Psalm.
Hymns: Praises sung to a hero, or something worth glorifying in words and songs. Early Christians co-opted hymns all to praise the name of Jesus.
Spiritual Songs any music set apart to generate intimacy between us and God. Love songs, thanksgiving poems — anything which would make a nice Hallmark card put to music
