2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Interpretation:
They were all filled with the Spirit, and the Spirit took over. And gave them the ability to speak the languages of the people that were in listening distance. Not only how to speak the language, but what to say. Now they already had the Spirit in them because earlier Jesus breathed on them and said "Receive the Holy Spirit" so what does it mean they were filled with the Spirit. Well it means to "Come Upon" someone. The Spirit Came upon them to empower them to do the works of God.
Application:
I want to be filled with the Spirit, not to speak other languages but to speak for God. So practically i am praying that God would fill me and the Holy Spirit would empower me to do the works of God, and I would be obedient to what the Spirit says to do. And right now that is to continue what I am doing... praying, reading, sharing and Spending time with Jesus.
