PULLED OVER BY POLICE FOR BEING "DRUNK" IN THE SPIRIT



I attended some of the healing and revival meetings at Passion and Fire Worship Centre recently. The first night, after the meeting I was feeling a bit lightheaded("drunk"), but thought I was driving perfectly ok. A Police Officer pulled me over and said I was swerving on the road. I was shocked, because I was thinking I was driving perfectly fine. He then asked me if I had something to drink. I told him, no, I don't drink. He then asked me where I was coming from and I told him, from Church. He was very perplexed when he heard that. He gave me a warning and told me to drive safely. The next night after the service, I thought well tonight I am going to concentrate real hard to drive straight, and it took a lot of concentration to drive straight. The next morning I realised how "drunk" I was the previous night, because then it took no effort at all to drive straight. 

I was wondering why Jesus would want to make me "drunk" and He reminded me of the disciples in Acts after the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:13 the people said that they were drunk. The disciples had great boldness in preaching the Gospel after Pentecost. I experience a greater freedom and boldness and less of the fear of man in my life after being "drunk in the Spirit" Isn't this what the Bible says in Eph 5:16 "do not get drunk with wine...but be filled with the Spirit."
Yes Lord, you are serving "new wine", You have kept the best "wine" for the last days. May we drink deeply and be changed more and more into the image of Jesus and may Your Spirit in and through us touch and change other people's lives.
