To be "filled with the Spirit" is a biblical phrase, often used but rarely understood. Some would use the phrase to describe either another Christian's character or a moment when someone seems to have divine inspiration. Most commonly, the term "filled with the Spirit" is used to describe sudden ecstatic behavior. What is clear is that the church struggles to understand what the Bible means when it says:
Eph 5:17 Wherefore by ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Brian will help us gain a biblical answer for what it means to filled with the Spirit and how it affects our life and ministry.
