What Does It Mean to Be Filled With the Holy Spirit?
It means the Spirit isn't just living in you; He's leading you, empowering you and overflowing out of you. Paul says it plainly: "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18 ESV). Instead of being controlled by a substance, be controlled by the Spirit.
What Are Spiritual Gifts, and How Do I Find Mine?
Spiritual gifts are abilities the Holy Spirit gives every believer to build up the church and point people to Jesus. When you were born naturally, you were given natural talents. When you were born again spiritually, you were given spiritual gifts.
