"The Wrong Wine!"

 

"DUI"

 

Proverbs 23:29-35 NIV

Who has woe?

Who has sorrow?

Who has strife?

Who has complaints?

Who has needless bruises?

Who has bloodshot eyes?

Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.

Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!

In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things.

You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.

"They hit me," you will say, "but I'm not hurt!

They beat me, but I don't feel it!

When will I wake up so I can find another drink?"

 

In the devotional yesterday, we read scripture from Acts 2:14-21.

To have a similiar reference to wine today, God IS giving us direction in how we are to daily live our lives,

DUI
Disciple Under the Influence of Holy Spirit.

As a Believer in Christ, we must rely upon the presence and influence of Holy Spirit, both for Power and Authority!

Also, in our bible study last night, we read Acts 1:8;

(Jesus speaking to HIS disciples)
"....But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Believing that God has given Holy Spirit as a Counselor and Comforter to those who faithfully follow Christ, then we MUST ALSO believe this,

We must WAKE UP and search God's WORD with increased desire for another DRINK of New WINE, to be Strengthened for the troublesome times we are to face as Believers in Christ, in a world that hated HIM, and now hates us also!!!

 

Father, YOU alone quench my thirst,
when my heart desires to know YOU more!
YOUR Spirit fills me to overflowing,
with Power to stand against every attack!!
By Holy Spirit, I see and hear many TRUTHs,
which bear witness,
that Christ Jesus is Lord over all heaven and earth!!

 

Praise and Glory!
To Christ my King!!!
Forever and Amen!!!
