LET’S ALL GET DRUNK

“Don’t get drunk with wine…instead let the Holy Spirit fill and control you” Eph 5:18.

Have u ever seen a man under the influence of alcohol? He didn’t get drunk by just talking about it or watching liquor advertisements. He got drunk by drinking! And the more he drinks the more the alcohol controls him. We say he is “under the influence”. Another power has taken over him, transforms him into someone he was not before. One minute he is quiet the next he is loud and boisterous.
He may even think he is another Elvis Presley and start to sing. When asked to walk a straight line he can’t even if he wanted to. You know why? Something else is running the show. And what alcohol does to the body negatively, the Holy Spirit does to us as new creations in Christ positively. When you are under his control, he makes you walk in ways you thought hitherto was impossible, makes you talk in a manner you never expected. That’s why, rather than spending our time and energy trying to change, we need to concentrate on being and staying influenced by God’s Spirit.

A sober man doesn’t have to try and stagger; all he has to do is get drunk; the alcohol will take care of the staggering. Little wonder Paul drew the analogy between someone who’s drunk and someone under the sway of the Holy Spirit. But a word of caution: those under the influence of the Spirit are not rude or offensive, garrulous or selfish; neither are they proud ‘showboating’ in an attempt to impress others. The reason why a lot of believers don’t experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit is because they are not drinking enough of him. His power is available to us today, so what are you waiting for? Let’s all get DRUNK!!!

Ephesians 5:18-21
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

This is the obvious outcome of getting filled with the spirit
