Psalms 78:41 – Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

Ezekiel 43:12 – This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

Hebrews 4:7 – Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

What does limit mean?

Psalms 78:41 - to pain, wound, trouble, cause pain (The Hebrew word is used only this once.)

Ezekiel 43:12 - border, territory, border, territory (enclosed within boundary), region, territory (of darkness)

Hebrews 4:7 – determine 2, ordain 2, as it was determined + 2596 + 3588 1, declare 1, limit 1, determine 1; 8 to define, to mark out the boundaries or limits (of any place or thing) 1b to determine, appoint, that which has been determined, acc. to appointment, decree, to ordain, determine, appoint

Acts 4:8 – Peter was filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke the truth, not a bunch of babble. When he was filled with the Holy Ghost, he was brave because he was trusting in God, not in himself.

Acts 4:31 – When the early church was filled with the Holy Ghost, they did not speak in other languages, because there was no need of it. Instead they spoke the Word of God with boldness, which was necessary.

It is not wrong for us to be filled with the Holy Ghost today. We have allowed Pentecostals to rob us of this truth – even to the robbery (and subsequent perversion) of the term "filled with the Holy Spirit". See Luke 11:13 and I Thessalonians 5:19.

Notice the necessity of the Holy Ghost continuing with us in this day and time:

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

b. Acts 13:52 – And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

c. Romans 15:13 – Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
