"Filled with the Spirit"
Ephesians 5:15-18 ESV

What does it mean for you to be filled with the Holy Spirit? In Ephesians 5: 15-18, Paul juxtaposes being filled with the Spirit with the cultural occultic practices of worshiping Dionysius via drunkenness and debauchery. Using this as an object lesson, he demonstrates that walking in the Spirit is the opposite: engaging with God with clarity, being filled with wisdom, walking in the anointing so that we are ready for special tasks and missions, giving of ourselves through acts of love, and demonstrating self-control. Therefore, don't grieve the Spirit through habitual/controlling sin; don't quench the Spirit through rebellion; do be mindful that he dwells within you always; and do remember that he desires fellowship with you. 

Ephesians 5:15-18
English Standard Version

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
