Translations:TC 3: How You Can be Filled with the Holy Spirit/49/en

With hearts opened and prepared for the filling of the Spirit, we are instructed in Ephesians 5:18 to “Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit.” It is a command! Not to be filled, controlled and empowered is disobedience. Scripture also tells us that there is available to us a “confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him” (I John 5:14,15).
