TARRY ON THE NEW WINE UNTIL YOU GET DRUNK – PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT: IT ENSURES, ASSURES, REFRESHES AND BUILDS UP YOUR FAITH-BEING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 THEY THAT TARRY LONG AT THE WINE; they that go to seek MIXED WINE. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. . .” Proverbs 23:29-35.

When last did you get so drunk in the Spirit and staggered and PRAYED in the Holy Spirit beyond your wildest imagination and compression, that you and probably those about might have thought you’ve gone DRUNK – but not as in the world that leads to woes, sorrows, contentions, babblings and such like, but that which the Holy Spirit rules and controls unto all good works in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. I know the feeling – it’s a realm that’s worth finding yourself in it – a realm and sphere of TARRYING IN GOD’S DIVINE PRESENCE without bothering what God will do; this even far beyond what Moses experience in the cloud and Apostle’s experience in transfiguration PRAYERS with Jesus Christ in humanity.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE . . .12 And they were all AMAZED, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others MOCKING said, These men are FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 1:1-13.

“And do not get DRUNK with ORDINARY WINE, for that is debauchery; but ever be FILLED and STIMULATED and DRUNK with the [Holy] Spirit” Ephesians 5:18/Emphasis Mine.

I know that precious items as Silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum and Other Precious Pearl Stones of high ends qualities are expensive and the demands are at huge cost – all simply because there are rare to find and not at the surface level to pick up as some stones (sand) used in building houses and moulding bricks etc. And individuals and corporations that are into mining such stones through the muds and the deepest under earth digging, may be there for days or weeks or years – just searching and hoping to get these high ends items. However, they know full well, that once a piece of such items are found, they will overcome the cost and time lag of explorations, expedition and would enriched themselves beyond measures to forget the pains of achieving the results in this sphere. That’s the earnest principle of dedication and commitment, responsibility and accountability, and devotion for the material things that perishes. How much more shall we be such principled on the eternal treasure that perishes not.

“Lay NOT UP for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but LAY UP for yourselves TREASURES in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your TREASURE is, there will your HEART be also” Matthew 6:19-21 [Luke 12:33-34].

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto TREASURE hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking GOODLY PEARLS: 46 who, when he had found one PEARL of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46.

And many times, I see some believers in Christ Jesus stead who wants great things from Father God to enable them obtain graciousnesss and gracefulness in their life path; and also wants Him to ordered their steps aright, but don’t want to TARRY in His PRESENCE in order to obtain the needed grace, wisdom and speed and sense of direction in their request to make them have a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life in godliness. For it’s in God’s presence that the overwhelming joy springs out to ensure and assure the right standing to do life in pleasure and not in pressure; more so, to enjoy the abounding glowing, refreshing and rejuvenating unto the dawn day in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“But THE PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING light, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day” Proverbs 4:18.

A good living example for all times is the found in the humanity demonstration of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus. Though He is the son of God, he subjected himself to obedience and tarried in the Father God’s presence. This He did at many times to gain the needed instructions, power and sense of direction on every piece of His journey in humanity in order to fulfill God’s cause and purpose in His life for human redemption. Take time to search these Scriptures: [Mark 1:35; Luke 4:1-22; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 9:28-36; John 18:37; 1 John 3:8].

In the world, most wise people don’t just drink with the intent to get drunk. They do their best to drink responsibly and accountably, and knows when to quit and walk away from the bottles in order to avoid been drunk and go staggering and going off their human ability to control themselves. As they say – don’t drive if you drink because if you are off the safe limits, you will not only crash the car but will harmfully kill or maimed yourself or someone else unknowingly. People get drunk because they TARRY so much long and longer on the bottle – wine. And some as a results of mixing up wine with other drinks that their body limits can’t handle and control. That’s what Proverbs 23:29-35, talks about – that those who TARRIES at the wine have their person’s taken over by the wine into a different personality. Could you imagine what it could be like, when your person’s is being taken over by the NEW WINE – the Blessed Holy Spirit while you TARRY in God’s PRESENCE?

“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 THEY THAT TARRY LONG AT THE WINE; they that go to seek MIXED WINE. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. . .” Proverbs 23:29-35

So, on a positive end, when you TARRY on and with the New Wine – the Holy Spirit in presence of the Father God, you can be ASSURED that you will be TRANSFORMED, TRANSFERRED and TRANSLATED as Jesus Christ experience with the disciples in Luke 9:28-36 and as Moses experience in Exodus 24; Exodus 33; Exodus 40 and as the Apostles experience in Acts 4:1-33 to mention a few. It takes the essence of TARRYING on the WINE to have you get DRUNK and to become the New person.

When you take time to TARRY in God’s presence with the New Wine, the blessed Holy Spirit, you will experience the graciousnesss and gracefulness and goodness of God that enables you to live purposefully, meaningful and fulfilling in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead in humanity.

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but TARRY ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

“But ye shall RECEIVE POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE . . .12 And they were all AMAZED, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others MOCKING said, These men are FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 1:1-13.

“And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness . . . 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

I therefore plead with you to see the need to TARRY in the New Wine with a New you for your heavenly outpouring of graciousness, and gracefulness and goodness to ease your earthly affairs without sweat and effortlessly in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Don’t you want to ensure your spirit FAITH BEING is daily FRESH, REFRESHING and BUILT-UP in order to do life and live godly effectually and efficiently. Then, be DRUNK with THE NEW WINE, in your spirit FAITH BEING – by PRAYING in the Holy Spirit. It will REJUVENATES and REVITALISES your spirit FAITH-BEING in Christ Jesus stead; and with that SYNERGY, you can take on any battle of the day by the WORD of God.

“And do not get DRUNK with ORDINARY WINE, for that is debauchery; but ever be FILLED and STIMULATED and DRUNK with the [Holy] Spirit” Ephesians 5:18/Emphasis Mine.

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP [founded] on your most HOLY FAITH [make progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], PRAYING in the Holy Spirit” Jude 1:20.

“For with stammering lips and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

Give it a go TODAY to PRAY in the Holy Spirit – for it will make your day count and account for you in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it will heal and amend your broken and wounded spirit in the course of your daily goals and endeavours – and in any unprecedented circumstances. [Romans 8:26-27; Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22; Proverbs 15:13].

Having a broken and dried up spirit is a dangerous spot to be in one’s state of being. For the spirit of man is the candle, search- lamp, illumination, connection signal of the triune man toward God and his being. Hence there’s the need to keep it charged to the full bar for an uninterrupted synchronising fellowship with Father God to enhance the relationship obtained in Christ Jesus stead. For a broken and dried spirit is an indication to a depressing state of the being. Such level of infirmity can only be revitalised, rejuvenated and awaken to life, by PRAYING in the Spirit – which is – praying in the Holy Spirit by your human spirit being to the Father God, in the name of Jesus, by the WORD of God. [Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22; Proverbs 15:13].

Always remember that man’s spirit being, is MADE by the Spirit of God, and such, lives by the Spirit breath of God by the WORD of God. Hence, the human spirit is eternal and lives in the sphere of eternity. Without it no man can live under the sensitiveness of God’s consciousness. This is why the spirit-hearts needs to be boosted now, daily and always, in order to be Spirit-Ruled by the WORD of God, fulfilling purpose meaningfully. [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; Hebrews 4:12-13].

BE A HOLY SPIRIT DRUNK BEING – TO STAY FRESH, REFRESHING AND REJUVENATING YOUR FAITH-BEING

I pray for you today, that you might abound in this enabling grace to PRAY now and always in the Spirit, by your spirit, thereby accessing God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
