Binge Drinking 101
Earlier this week I had one great experience. I think I may have drunk too much lol.
After studying long and hard for my home church teaching, took a break with a little burger king breakfast, and finally taught, It was quite the releif. It was so overwhelming at the end. Once it was done, i could barely believe the feeling i felt.
Ephes. 5:18
Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you.
When they say get drunk on the holy spirit, they are not kidding. I have seen people, actually drunk acting the way I did once I was done teaching. I could barely speak, I needed to get some air, I almost cried. It was wild. Carlell came up and asked what was wrong, I tried to explain, but I could barely make out half a sentence. He called it a “Holy Spirit Overload”. Which I guess I would explain it the same. I knew it was a good sign when I left work, got on the highway, and looked to the sky. It was beautiful. I could not believe that either. It was so marvelous that it took the breath out of me, and I whept. It was like God saying “dont even worry son, you’ll do good.”
I studied, and studied, leaving as much room as possible for the Holy Spirit to speak through me. Relying on God the whole time was great. I’ve done this before, but I think this may have been the biggest thing thus far. I’ve tried teaching Word on my own before (like without god, i was with joe that time too though), relying on myself mostly to get prepared. And that was the complete opposite. I can remember every second of it. Sweating as if I was in hell and they had the furnace on max. No reactions from faces, It was hard to breathe, and it was a huge struggle. Remembering what I PLANNED to say was too hard and I couldnt take it. It was a tragedy.
I think this was a big stepping stone in my life. Like an achievement or something. You know? lol.
Kind of funny that the teaching had to do with some of this.
