“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit†(Ephesians 5:18).
Paul draws a contrast easy enough to understand. The phrase “be filled with the Spirit†denotes a continuous action. This filling must be an on-going experience whenever the Spirit feels it is necessary. I often feel my vessel is leaking. I must repent and allow the Spirit to refill me. If you are going to be under the influence of anything, pray it is the Spirit of God who wants to fill and thrill you with His presence.
