"Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery.  Instead, be filled with the Spirit."  Ephesians 5:18.

Christians make the mistake of constantly trying to live the Christian life out of their own strength.  It is understandable why we try to to do this – when we first become Christians all we know is our own strength. We haven't learned how to live any other way.

But the apostle Paul insists we must seek to be "filled with the Spirit" and live under his guiding influence.  What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?  Paul gives us an analogy – be filled with the Spirit instead of with wine.
