An infilling and refillings?

Hi. Please tell me why is it that the word "infilling" is treated countably as in "received an infilling of the Holy Spirit"? How about the phrase "refillings"? Could the word "refilling" be a countable noun? Thank you for your help in advance.

Thank you. I think the word "awakening" is a singular noun, but I see the word "awakenings" in writing. Is it correct? Thank you again for your help in advance.

I think I can answer this and future questions by explaining to you that most if not all non-count nouns can be used as countable nouns in certain situations.

Thank you again. I was hoping I wouldn't need to ask another question, but since I couldn't get an answer when I ask this question in another thread, I decided to ask you this question to you here.

Could we use the plural noun "mixings" to denote instances of mixing in a right context or circumstance? I am sure that the word "mixing" is a gerund.
