Ephesians 5:18 Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.
On the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, onlookers described the disciples as drunk. They might have been behaving as such - so full of what had taken over them! Drunks can be loud and joyful, singing on top of their voices and drawing all attention to themselves .
Likewise we must allow the Holy Spirit to take full control of our lives and emotions. We must submit to Him and be led by Him. A fully drunk person is like a puppet controlled by the power of alcohol. So must we be completely submitted to the power and guidance of God through His Holy Spirit.
We must pray fervently in spirit and in truth, and appear like Hannah did as she prayed earnestly to God. When we delve deeply into God, and bask in His loving control, we tend to appear different to the world. We might be wrongly misjugdged, but if we stay put and boldly speak and show forth God's truth, we shall give birth to people born of God and in God.
Just as Hannah conceived Samuel, we shall conceive souls that will bless God with their lives, and like Peter, win many souls to God.
