Before you begin this Bible study, If you have never believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior, John 3:16 tells us: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Simply have faith that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and you will have eternal life and be saved. If you have believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior, then 1 John 1:9 tells us, “If you confess your sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Simply privately tell God the Father your sins to be filled with God the Holy Spirit and He will teach you Bible truth (rebound).

“And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit.” Ephesians 5:18
Mark 8:1-10- Period of Time-Hypostatic Union
Jesus, who is the Son of God, always did things while filled with God, the Holy Spirit’s power, when He lived during the Hypostatic Union.
Last week, we saw that our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, fed over 5,000 men, plus women and children with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. On a different day, a group of 4,000 hungry people were gathered around Jesus for about 3 days straight.
There weren’t any grocery stores nearby. So, what do you think Jesus did? Did He make a phone call and order tacos? Did He send His
disciples to pick up hamburgers, and fries for everyone? He didn’t do any of this. Instead, He was given 7 loaves of
bread, and a few fish. Jesus, who was filled with God, the Holy Spirit, performed a miracle. He was able to turn the loaves and fish into enough food to fill everyone up.
There were even 7 baskets of food left over! In this case, the people were filled with food for their hungry bodies, and their souls were filled with, Bible Doctrine.
Our souls get hungry in a different way than our bodies do. They need lots of Bible Doctrine to feed them. Our souls are happy when they are filled with God, the Holy Spirit.
Spirit.
When we sin, our souls are miserable. When we make mistakes, we just need to rebound and tell God the Father, privately inside our minds whatever we have done wrong. When we do this, we are automatically filled with God, the Holy
When you are filled with God, the Holy Spirit, He teaches you Bible Doctrine. Then your soul is like a refrigerator that is plugged in. Everything inside is fresh and delicious.
When you are not filled with God, the Holy Spirit, your soul is like a refrigerator that isn’t
plugged-in. When you peek inside of it, the strawberries are moldy, the milk is spoiled and the hamburger smells
like stinky kitty litter.
Jesus was always filled with God, the Holy Spirit, when He lived during the Hypostatic Union. He never lost the filling of the Holy Spirit, because He never sinned.
Today in the Church Age, our souls need to be like a plugged in refrigerator that is full of fresh, tasty food. So, remember, when you make a mistake, you need to tell God the Father what you did wrong, so your soul will be filled with God, the Holy Spirit.

“And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit.” Ephesians 5:18
What fills our bodies? How about Halloween candy? Halloween bags start out empty. But, when they are filled up, they might have chewy yellow, red and green candy, chocolate bars, suckers or gummy people. I’ll bet your mouth is watering just thinking about tasting your favorites.
What would happen if you went out to collect candy on Halloween, and got home, and dumped your bag of goodies out on the kitchen table, and the bag was empty? I’ll bet you would be disappointed and
feel like you wasted your time.
Gum ball machines, are a lot of fun when they are filled with purple, blue, orange, and green pieces of bubble gum. But, when you run out of gum, they aren’t much fun, are they? The only way that they work is when they are filled up.
What about our souls? They get hungry too, and need to be fed. What do you think they need? How about peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches or grilled cheeses? Nope. This won’t fill our souls. It only fills up our bodies.
During the Church Age, which is the time period we live in today, God, the Father has given every one of us something called the filling of God, the Holy Spirit. God, the Holy Spirit gives us His power to do things. It’s not something you can eat like candy or gum. It’s for your soul.
When you are filled with God, the Holy Spirit, you are getting help from Him. He gives us His power. It’s just like that Halloween bag when it’s filled up with candy and treats!
How do you get filled with God, the Holy Spirit? Do you jibber jabber, dance around in circles until you get dizzy, or buy it at a grocery store? No, you don’t do anything, except rebound the bad things that you think, do, or say to God, the Father.
Wow, isn’t it amazing how simple God makes it? When you don’t rebound, you are trying to do things without letting God help you. It’s like collecting candy during Halloween, and coming home to find the bag empty. God wants you to be filled with God, the Holy Spirit. So, that way, you will have your soul filled up with, Bible Doctrine.
Mark 6:33-44-Time Period-The Hypostatic Union One day, Jesus was out teaching a huge
crowd of people, there were over 5,000 men, plus women and children. They got really hungry, but there weren’t any stores around to buy food.
Jesus, who was filled with God, the Holy Spirit, performed a miracle. He took 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish and made it into enough food, to fill up the hungry stomachs of the whole crowd of people. There were even 12 baskets of food left over! Their souls were filled with Bible Doctrine, and their bodies were filled with food.
