hey guys now this is another video
request and the question that I got is
Daniel can a Christian drink alcohol
well it doesn't really matter what I
believe it doesn't really matter what
other people believe it matters what the
Bible says about it so let's get to the
video
[Music]
now just very quick if your first time
here on my channel I'm Daniel and
welcome to D LM Christian lifestyle
consider subscribing and also clicking
that notification bell so you won't miss
any of the next veers know the Bible is
very clear about alcohol and drinking
alcohol and getting drunk there's a lot
of verses about this and the Bible is
very clear that it is wrong to get drunk
Ephesians 5 verse 18 says and do not be
drunk with wine in which is dissipation
but be filled with the spirit and
proverbs 20 verse 1 says wine is a
mocker strong drink is a brawler and
whoever he's led astray by it is not
wise now that verse actually explains
who I was I was not wise I was dumb
before I became a Christian I used to
drink a lot and but then when I became a
Christian you know God is so gentle and
he works within you all those things
that is not right that is not in line
with his will for your life and so I
stopped drinking because number one it
is a sin and number two it was part of
my old sinful lifestyle 1 Peter 4 verse
3 says for we have spent enough of our
past lifetime in doing the will of the
Gentiles when we've walked in lewdness
so I stopped getting drunk all the time
but I still enjoy a wine here there with
my wife for example when we have dinner
because it's not wrong to drink alcohol
but it is wrong to get drunk
ecclesiastics 9 verse 7 says go eat your
bread with joy and drink your wine with
a merry heart and remember they even
used wine for medicine Paul said to
Timothy in 1 Timothy 5 verse 23 no
longer drink only water but use a little
wine for the stomach's sake and your
frequent infirmities and do you remember
the first miracle that Jesus did he
turned water into wine at the wedding in
John 2 and / Psalm 104 verse 4 says he
causes the grass to grow for the cattle
and vegetation for the service of man
that he may bring for food
earth and wine that makes glad the heart
of man now you need to know that even
though you can enjoy wine the Bible is
very very clear in the dangers that lies
behind it
proverbs 23 verse 29 says who has woe
who has sorrow who has contentions who
has complaints who has wounds without
cause
who has redness of eyes those who linger
long at the wine those who go in search
of mixed wine do not look on the wine
when it is red when it sparkles in the
cup when it swirls around smoothly at
the last it bites like a serpent and
stings like a Viper
your eyes will see strange things and
your heart will utter perverse things
now God knows the devastating effect
that alcohol has on people especially if
we look at the family when a parent is
addicted to alcohol
I have personally witnessed how families
are destroyed because of alcohol and
that is also one of the reasons why I
will never drink in front of someone who
I know loves drinking because I don't
want to cause them to stumble and to
keep on sinning Romans 14 verse 13 says
not to put a stumbling block or a cause
to fall in our brother's way and I got
to remember a lot of people who are
alcoholic who who drink they go to the
bottle for a reason they go there to
forget about all the problems in their
lives
so they do that instead of choosing God
who actually has the power to help them
they choose the bottle they drink they
get drunk and after a few hours they
wake up and their problems are still
there the cycle just continues and it
gets worse now if you're a Christian if
you say that you are a true Christian
but you make the decision to continually
drink so you make the decision to
continually sin you need to know that
you might not enter into the kingdom of
God
Galatians 5 verse 19 says now the works
of the flesh are evident adultery
fornication uncleanness lewdness
idolatry sorcery hatred contentions
jealousies outbursts of Wrath selfish
ambitions dissensions heresies Envy
murders now listen to this drunkenness
revelries and alike of which I tell you
beforehand just as I told you in time
past that those who practice such things
will not inherit the kingdom of God now
this is very clear but you need to
understand this if you continue to drink
and get drunk and feel that it is ok
it's fine and you want to keep on doing
it then you're probably not a real
Christian because a real Christian
wouldn't want to do anything on this
list because the Holy Spirit will
convict you of a sin but if you are a
Christian remember we are not perfect
and we will fall at times but then we
need to go to God we need to ask for
forgiveness we need to make it right and
then you need to stop because just
saying I have a sinful nature and God is
love you forgive me that is no excuse
God says you cannot continue to live in
sin so throw away all the alcohol
bottles in your home right now throw it
away and go to someone that you can
trust someone who can pray for you and
someone who can help you
don't let it rip your family apart
because that is not what God wants that
is what the devil wants and he's like a
lion walking around
roaring looking who he can destroy don't
let it happen take a stand and fight
against this with the power of God the
choice is yours either you're gonna go
if the devil and believe the lies that
you cannot overcome this or you can
believe God's Word and know that you can
over
does not give yourself not through your
own power but through the power of God
Luke 1 verse 37 says for with God
nothing will be impossible now if you
want to know how to overcome sin check
out this video here and it will help you
I remember God loves you and I love you
too why take my life and let it be
consecrated thought to thee
