•Ephesians 5:18

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead,

be filled with the Spirit.

1.) TO DO THE WILL OF GOD FULFILLING OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE

Hebrews 10:7Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a]

Matthew 7:21  Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 

Luke 22:42  Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done

2.) TO OBEY REVELATIONS FROM DEVOTIONS AND PREACHINGS

2 Corinthians12:1  I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 

Joshua 1:8  Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 

James 1:22  Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:23  Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 

James 1:24  and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. James 1:25  But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does. 

3.) TO WALK IN FREEDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS OVERCOMING TEMPTATIONS STARTING WITH TEMPTATIONS IN MIND AND FLESHLY DESIRES.

Ephesians 4:22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; Ephesians 4:23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; Ephesians 4:24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

2Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

2Corinthians 3:18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

1Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,

4.) TO CHANGE BAD HABITS, ATTITUDE , BEHAVIOUR AND PERSONALITY1Samuel 10:6 The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.

Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, (ISV) For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you continually put to death the activities of the body, you will live.

(NLV) If you do what your sinful old selves want you to do, you will die in sin. But if, through the power of the Holy Spirit, you destroy those actions to which the body can be led, you will have life. (NJB) If you do live in that way, you are doomed to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the habits originating in the body, you will have life.
