i confess and am extremely hungover after blacking out last night. I had a terrible night after excessive drinking and started a fight with my family and ended up in a bad situation. This video is what I need right now. Thank you Jesus.

I don't drink anymore, but I have no problem with those who do.

My friends, church family, and wife do, but I don't.

Why? Because I can't control myself. One time, I drank, and I just wanted more and more( I'm honestly surprised I didn't die), and let's just say I got myself in lots of trouble.

Thankfully, God got me out of it. And ever since then, I never drank again ( 2 yesrs sober), and I've never gone back, and I love it.

Thank you, Jesus

“Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.”

It's like gluttony. You can consume it but don't overdo it.

Peter 5:8
King James Version
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

[FalconsWarrior]

drinking itself is not, but when it is in excess and leads to drunkenness, that’s sin

I was drinking every night starting in 2021. I told everyone it was for sleeping. In my heart I knew i wanted to drink. My health started going down. I finally gave it to the Lord and stopped a few months ago. I thought I’ll not get much sleep and everything is going to hurt. Not so. I slept so good and it’s only getting better. My health is much better. My relationship with the Lord is much closer and I am so grateful to the Lord for helping me. We take the first step towards what it is we are asking the Lord for and He walks us the rest of the way. ❤

I lost a very important friend because of the way I was acting while drunk during a girls trip. I had to re evaluate my relationship with alcohol and felt convicted to stop. That’s when I discovered there was a lot of hurt and pain I was suppressing. God’s been restoring me ever since.

[BasherBenDawg]

It doesn’t matter if I’m “allowed” to drink or not, I’m not going to. I lost both my grandparents (not dead but just completely unrecognizable drunks) to it, and I’m not going to go down the road I’ve seen so many people fall victim to. I know very well I wouldn’t have the willpower to stop myself from drinking if it got to a not so great point.

I encourage all of you who haven’t had a drink before and are thinking about it, just don’t. You’re not missing out on anything, and your life will be just a little bit better, as to the contrast of it becoming a whole lot worse. (Either way, whatever choice you make, Jesus still loves you)

I plead Romans 14. If drunkenness is a sin, I will avoid its cause.

[Just_a_Reflection]

I never drink to excess and usually just drink a little wine to go to sleep faster, but I feel ashamed to pray or read God's Word if I have had a drink. Also, I feel convicted when I buy alcohol because I am hesitant to share my faith with the person who sold it to me because I might confuse them. I needed this message.

9:45 HACKSAW RIDGE!!! YO!! 😱 That movie got me to realize, God is the only help you need in warfare, no gun, no knife, no weapons, Only God can do it all through Faith. 😇

[mjjones]

I'm 5 months clean from alcohol. Thank you for these videos. Unfortunately I cannot control my drinking. I had went through a very emotional divorce and turned to drinking. I battled with it on and off for years. My mind is so much clearer and my walk with God is stronger.

[colmortimer]

I think a sin can be anything you put above God. If I drink it is not a sin because it is just 1 here or there, but to an alcoholic it is always a sin, because that takes over and the person puts it above God. I used to smoke a pack a day, it took over my whole day, i would schedule things around finding a time to stop and smoke, yet some people would have 1 or 2 socially on the weekend, and it not really be an issue.

I think with this definition of sin, most any thing such as watching TV, social media, video games, watching sports, shopping, even something like eating, can be a sin if you take it to the point that you start putting it before God and it starts running your life

It's sad. My father drinks a lot. He is kinda sad bout how he can't make enough money but his addiction of drinking his past 30 years is a lot. I want to help him to be able to inherit the kingdom of God. I love him much ❤

[ruffryders]

Your videos are soo awesome!! Thank you!! I don't drink as well. It took a while to realize that I don't drink for the taste, but the feeling. The more I would drink the better I felt. Afterwards the issues I had would still be there though. When I stopped I realized that even on my toughest days, with Jesus in my life, I could make it through without a drop of liquor. I could face my issues head on with a clear and peaceful mind. Thanks again!!

[scharlesscalvin]

i have absolutely no intention of ever drinking alcohol, except maybe as communion wine. dude, your videos are AWESOME!

[scottmoore]

I have just discovered your channel about a week ago, and I had to write to tell you what a blessing it has been for me and my family. I also watched your face reveal video recently and how difficult it has been to maintain the channel and content. I am praying for you and your team to have the provision you need to continue to produce content like this, even if it's not as often. The value in your videos and the messages you produce are priceless. My wife and I have three teenage children that I have been exposing to your videos and they are absolutely perfect for them! I can't express how much of a perfect fit your content has been for all of us. My wife and I have been Christian for a long time and our children are Christian as well, but we all need the Gospel presented in ways that stirs our spirits and speaks to us through the Holy Spirit, such as your content. I will be donating regularly to your ministry here online, and even though it's not much, I pray that it provides a larger impact into the needs and provisions required to help you in your ministry. Praying for you and your team to be blessed and look forward to the next video, even if you need a little more time going forward. :)

This is a common misunderstanding. The term "wine" is often associated with alcohol because of fermentation, but it can also refer to fresh grape juice in a biblical context. Ever heard of semantic shift? Semantic shift refers to the evolution of word meanings over time. In relation to 'wine', the term in ancient times had a broader meaning than it does today. It could refer to grape juice in various stages - from freshly squeezed to fully fermented.

The context in which 'wine' is used in the Bible provides clues about its meaning. For instance, 'new wine' in biblical times often referred to fresh grape juice, not fermented. The New Testament uses the Greek word 'Methusko' to describe the process of becoming drunk, not just the state of being drunk. Read that again.. the process of becoming drunk, not the state of being drunk. This inceptive process is significant because it suggests that the Bible cautions against even starting the process of drinking that could lead to drunkenness.

So, when we read passages like Ephesians 5:18, "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery, " it's a warning against even starting the process of drinking that could lead to loss of control.

So, when we read about 'wine' in the Bible, it's not automatically alcoholic. An inceptive verb is like lighting a match. The action isn't just about the flame existing (the match being lit), but it's about the process of striking the match, the spark, and the flame catching. The verb captures the whole process, not just the end result. Similarly, inceptive verbs in Greek, like 'Methusko', capture the process of becoming drunk, not just the state of being drunk. In this, the Bible is telling us not to even begin the process of becoming drunk. Had Jesus drank at all, He’d have gone against His own teachings, which He never would do.

The timing of this video is crazy! I live in Canada where the drinking age is +19, me and my christian brothers are turning this age this year and this is something we have been talking about recently. It is what i needed to hear and i will be sharing it with the others. Thanks and God bless!
