What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?

Answered in 2 sources

Being filled with the Spirit means allowing God's Spirit to influence our thoughts, actions, and attitudes, resulting in a joyful Christian life.

In Ephesians 5:18, Paul instructs us to be filled with the Spirit rather than intoxicated by wine. This filling refers to being under the influence of the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to guide our actions and attitudes. When we are led by the Spirit, we experience true joy, express gratitude, and engage in worshipful living. This reality contrasts with worldly pursuits of happiness and emphasizes that our fulfillment comes from our relationship with God, producing genuine joy that reflects His glory.
