Limbaugh’s “Americans Who Risked Everything”; Lossing’s “Robert Morris”; Pleroo Emphasizes Advance to Maturity & Imputed Blessings; Rom 8:4

1.	The verb plēroō is an aorist passive subjunctive:	
aorist:	Culminative; signifies effort or process and denotes the attainment of the end of such effort or process.  Here it views the believer’s advance to maturity in its entirety but emphasizes its result, the imputation of blessings in time.
passive:	The believer receives the action of having the deficiency of epignōsis in his soul filled up from the teaching ministries of the Holy Spirit and the Grace Apparatus for Perception.
subj.:	Potential; dependent upon one’s consistency in the use of rebound plus maximum time spent in the filling of the Holy Spirit combined with maximum intake of doctrine.
2.	In context we find plēroō used to describe a believer who is submissive to the leadership and control of the Holy Spirit to the point where he receives the imputation of escrow blessings in time.
3.	Such an individual shares the happiness of God at gate 8 of the divine power system.  We have already noted this in:
1 John 1:4 -	We write these things so that your state of true happiness might be completed [ plhrÒw, plēroō ].
4.	It also emphasizes the divine good production of the mature believer under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and resident doctrine:
Philippians 1:11 -		Having been filled up [ perfect passive participle of plhrÒw, plēroō: the believer receives the action of being filled with the doctrine that results in divine good production ] with divine good production of righteousness [ karpÒj, karpos, plus dikaiosÚnh, dikaionunē ] which comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God.
5.	When the Holy Spirit completes filling up the deficiency of divine thought, He is able to then motivate and guide the believer into the production of divine good.  It is the Holy Spirit that produces these actions.
6.	The believer receives the power, energy, thought process, and decision-making that are necessary for the execution of righteous acts through the ministries of the Holy Spirit.
