Some of the effects of being filled with the Spirit are: 1. Holiness of
heart and life. This is not the perfection of the human nature, but the
holiness of the divine nature dwelling within. 2. Fullness of joy so
that the heart is constantly radiant. This does not depend on
circumstances, but fills the spirit with holy laughter in the midst of
the most trying surroundings. 3. Fullness of wisdom, light and
knowledge, causing us to see things as He sees them. 4. An elevation,
improvement and quickening of the mind by an ability to receive the
fulfillment of the promise, We have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians
2:16). 5. An equal quickening of the physical life. The body as well as
the mind and soul was made for the Holy Spirit. 6.

An ability to pray the prayer of the Holy Spirit.

If He is in us there will be a strange accordance with God's working in
the world around us.
