Question
What does it mean to be filled with the Holy spirit?

Answer
Kelvin,

Ephesians 5:18-21 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

The meaning can be found in the study of the whole chapter, Eph 5. It is to walk in the ways of God, it is denying ourselves and serving him.

Ephesians 5:1-2  Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;  2  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

I hope this helps,

Paul Walker,
