Part # 9: Comparative Study: Filled & Controlled based on Eph 5:18 by D-lite

<a href="LookUp.phtml?verse=Ephesians+5%3A18">Ephesians 5:18</a>
"Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit."

Study the following passages to discover the many ways the Holy Spirit fills and controls our spirit and body. Then compare each of those attributes or characteristics to the way alcohol would fill and control us. You may do this by drawing a chart with two columns that compares the two (can you add any more verses?), or draw a picture of a person filled with the Spirit and a person drunk on alcohol, or some other creative approach. Finish in prayer that God will continue to fill you with His Spirit.
