Mat 25:1
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.2
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.3
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:4
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.5
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.6
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.7
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.8
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.9
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.10
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.11
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.12
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

THE 1ST TIME THE DISCIPLES WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST:
Act 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
THE 2ND TIME THEY WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST:
Act 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
~SO, YOU SEE WE MAY BE FILLED AND REFILLED MORE THAN ONCE~
WISE: He that wins souls is wise.
Jam 3:13 (GNB) Are there any of you who are wise and understanding? You are to prove it by your good life, by your good deeds performed with humility and wisdom.
14 But if in your heart you are jealous, bitter, and selfish, don't sin against the truth by boasting of your wisdom.
15 Such wisdom does not come down from heaven; it belongs to the world, it is unspiritual and demonic.
16 Where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is also disorder and every kind of evil.
17 But the wisdom from above is pure first of all; it is also peaceful, gentle, and friendly; it is full of compassion and produces a harvest of good deeds; it is free from prejudice and hypocrisy.
18 And goodness is the harvest that is produced from the seeds the peacemakers plant in peace.
Pro 11:30 (KJV) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
FOOLISH: (not to be a fool, but to act as a fool acts)
Psa 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psa 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Jer 5:4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
Jer 5:21 & 22 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Fear ye not me? saith the LORD
