God's telling us, don't pursue things, don't develop escape habits. He's going to teach us ways to face life and to handle real life instead of trying to escape from the reality of what my week was like and what my relationships are like and all those kinds of things. So he says, waste your life and ruin it being intoxicated, escaping, but instead be filled with the Spirit, the Spirit of God.
Well, there's lots of messages being preached about the Spirit, and I want to keep this very simple, but we only experience Him to the extent we listen and obey. So if we want to be filled with God's Spirit, we need to listen to Him.
