Why do we want to be filled with Holy Spirit? To be filled with Spirit will not bring us fame, prosperity, the love and admiration of our fellow man. It will most likely bring division, reproach and persecution. So is the example shown in the scriptures both old and new testaments, in the cases of Elijah in the cave, Jonah under the gourd, Paul in prison, John the Baptists beheading, Steven's stoning and of course the Lord Jesus' crucifxion. We are filled with the Holy Spirit for God's purposes and His alone.
