Are we to be “Drunk with the Spirit?”?
Hello,
Question for the forum, regarding the verse below, and also John 6:57 and 7:37. I have tried to find some answers but I figured I’ll try to see if anyone can provide some links or had any input regarding this. Ephesians 5:18 18*And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; In the book written by Lee, “How to Enjoy God and How to Practice the Enjoyment of God”, in chapter 9 called “Enjoying God through Taking In the Spirit”, he takes the verse above and maybe in my honest opinion, turns the concept of drunk with wine to be drunk with spirit as an equal thing. Here are some quotes: Quote:
I believe there is a strong correlation between getting out of your mind, (which is what happens when your are drunk), and being drunk with the spirit as prescribed by the oracle. Also, there is an interesting thing about drinking, is that you get a sort of high, which I feel like what it was when I was a member of LC. You enjoy the “jubilee”, as if you just had a bottle of something strong, but as soon as it wears off, the low is pretty brutal, when you realize what actual reality is. Any input is welcome. Thanks |
