The following 4-minute video answers the Question: How Can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?
The verses he mentions are plugged in below the video; you can pause the video or slow it down and read as he speaks:
John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,
The INDWELLING of the Holy Spirit is permanent in believers
John 7:37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Ephesians 1:13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Galatians 3:2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?
2 Corinthians 1:22 and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Ephesians 1:13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Grieving the Holy Spirit
Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Quenching the Holy Spirit
1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.
To be filled = freedom for Him to occupy every part of our lives: guiding, controlling, enabling us to bear fruit for God the Father
“Filling” includes the thoughts and motives
Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
Sin hinders the filling of the Spirit
Obedience to God is how the filling of the Holy Spirit is maintained
[Prayers for obedience would seem to precede that]
Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
