Quick answer
Spirit-filled believers speak and sing to one another and to the Lord in psalms and songs. Worship overflows from a life filled with the Spirit.
Overview
The first result of Spirit-filling is heartfelt worship, both mutual ('to one another') and Godward ('to the Lord'). Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs express praise that springs from the heart. Corporate and personal worship are thus natural marks of the Spirit's work in God's people.
