Be Filled with the Spirit v18
Eph 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is
dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, Acts 13:45, Luke 4:28
To be filled or controlled by the Spirit is to let God's
Word control you, dying to self, pursuing purity, confessing all known sin,
surrendering to God's will, and depending on His Power for all things. It is to live dominated by the mind of
Christ, so that everything that you think or do flows through what the Word
teaches and is in harmony with it.
Col. 3:15-17

Submission
Phil 2:3-5, Gal 5:22-26
D.L Moody said, "I believe firmly that the moment
our hearts are emptied of pride and selfishness and ambition and everything
that is contrary to God's law, the Holy Spirit will fill every corner of our
hearts. But if we are full of pride and conceit and ambition and the world,
there is no room for the Spirit of God. We must be emptied before we can be
filled."

EPHESIANS 5:7-14 WALK IN LIGHT

Ephesians 5:7
Therefore do not be partakers with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but now
you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the
Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is
acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those
things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are
made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore
He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give
you light."
V 7 Be not ye, therefore, (what?)
partakers with them." The word partaker means partners. Don't join the
world in its evil. The past is past.
We avoid
immorality because it is not love, and because it satisfies our physical
desires at the expense of others.
