All I can say is , once you feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit no matter what it is , casually drinking, barely drinking, smoking marijuana or even smoking cigarettes. Once that conviction hits you, you will KNOW and you will feel it so strongly that you Know you need to STOP . Just listen to the Holy Spirit ☺️
100 percent true. I was a drinker drinker almost everyday and God took the taste out of my mouth. I don’t even crave it no more at all. Thank you Lord for that. I did have some wine at first but then I just felt I don’t even need that no more. I got God with me I just wanna be in God presence. Be sober minded.
Thank you for testifying I’m proud of you brother . I’m currently going through the same with weed. At first my mind was trying to cop a plea and I’d think maybe I could smoke cbd instead which doesn’t have any psychoactive effects. I caught myself, then had thoughts about nicotine products like black n milds and realized how much of an issue I actually had . I’m completely sober and feel gods presence with me and now I’m at the point where I don’t crave or think about any of these things God is great 💪🏽
@OM-HPC your not Christ first of all and tell me about myself since you know me so much sir? I know my Lord and savior. My God that is first in my life.
In these last days I recommend no drinking. It’s cautious to be sober minded because the devil is busy and anything that will allow him access to you will lead you to the path of destruction.

As a Christian I'm actually struggling with this. Addiction has ran rampant thru several generations. Please pray for me. I hate this about myself and have tried to quit.
Lord, I pray that the power of the precious blood of the Lamb be poured upon your life and run through your veins to break every single generational curse off your life from all sides in Jesus mighty name! Father, please deliver your precious daughters from any and all alcoholic and addictive spirits in Your Sons precious name by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit!!! Send Your Holy Angels to stand post at their sides, please! Thank you Lord God. You are Yahweh! You are Almighty!!! Amen 🙏❤️
Recite the Lord's prayer everyday, believe it with faith and it does something without you even trying to do anything. Put the rest that you want to pray about afterward or even before, and it'll dwindle. Pray to see and not be blind and it be revealed to you what you're really doing and what it really is and you should come through it all if you want it enough and you let that faith keep building enough through you to believe enough what's been revealed to you and then just praise God/Jesus. He loves to be praised.
I’m praying for you Brittney. You made the first step by confessing you need help in that area. Keep praying and ask the Lord for deliverance. God is more than able to deliver you. He loves you, understands you and He is there for you. When we are weak He is strong!
Delivered 26 years ago. 1 drink equals 10. Don't. I don't drink but I still have the occasional taste for it but keep it under Him. He delivered me for a reason. I wasn't the best version of myself.
Thank you for this Marcus. As someone who has off/on struggles with using alcohol as a way to feel better or have a good time, I needed to hear this. I have had bad experiences in the past of getting too drunk and not remembering the things I said/did the next day. I would end up hurting some people I was close to and feel so much guilt. Ever since becoming a mom in March, I have not wanted to drink as much and now that I have grown closer to God again, I want to stay sober-minded. I want this for my partner as well but he likes to drink. Please pray for us.
Hey girl, I'm 20 months sober. I would black out. Not remember. Sleep around hurt people AND not remember. It was rough. I didn't even MEAN to do it bc I don't even have a memory of it BUT I did it and take accountability. By being accountabile for my evil actions I quit alcohol cold and fully with Jesus help. The best I'm sorry and apology to the ones we didn't mean to hurt, is to NOT drink. Ever. We will never be healed. We will never be able to "controll it" we will always end up taking it too far. May be able to control is temporarily but not permanently. Eventually you will get out of control, embarrass yourself, others, or harm yourself and other's. Especially as a mom to mom, here, kid's need us strong and sober minded. You got this sister. If God did it for me he will do it for you. But you have to let it go first. Stop drinking for good and God will deliver you from the cravings or the bad days where you feel bad and want to unwind. Don't fall for the trap. We WILL have bad days. Inevitable. But my days are not as bad as my best days drinking. No shame or sickness the next day. Worth being sober. God bless you. You Can and will do it. Break the generational curse from your child BY being SIBER 🙏🙏❤️
You need not apologize brother marcus for delivering the word which is truth, we sinners have to settle with our flesh and make up our minds to follow Christ and stop blaming others for our mistakes, just like when your best friend says your wife is cheating or your man is cheating and that very friend gets mad at the messenger not the offended because they wontnown up to who is really wrong
I agree that wine back then isn’t what there is now . I can’t lie, I drink on occasion but I don’t see the point of it besides having it to alter your current state. As a believer I really see more and more it’s pointless. The way it makes you feel , I want to be my true self and allow the Holy Spirit to fill me what I’m looking for. It’s a personal conviction . Not easy but my take. I’m definitely not drinking to get drunk.
If you go to a wise church no one will tell you do not drink, or do not go to club etc....they will focus on your growth, like you said when your faith grows to a certain point you will see for your self. Telling people don't do this don't do that usually does not work
Hi nice to meet you...I drink the occasional glass of red wine for my blood and my stomach as the Lord told me a little wine would help my stomach problems...so I see nothing wrong with it other than when its abused...use is not abuse... God put everything on earth for our use not our abuse I believe the Word and that's what it says...it also says keep what you believe between you and the Lord so u don't condemn yourself by causing someone to do something they think is wrong...if u believe it's a sin then it is...for you...I wish more teachers would use all scripture to explain their point not just the ones that fit what they say... Jesus said what u put in your mouth isn't a sin it's what comes out of it... however we know gluttony and greed are sins that are idolatry...that's abuse of what the Lord has given us...the reason I commented was that u were one of few who actually I felt had some common sense. God bless you 💓🙏💓
New Year’s eve eve of 2020 the Lord spoke to me in my dream and told me to sober up, I am His warrior and He is coming soon. When He said sober up I knew exactly what he was talking about. It was my drinking. I went into the new year sober and been ever since 🙌🏼 God is preparing those who love Him and who are willing to give anything up for him ❤️
I stopped drinking liquor in October of 2021. I remember hosting a dinner for my birthday at a reputable Mexican style restaurant. I ordered a margarita. I felt as if the drink wasn't strong enough. So my bestfriend ordered me a shot. Took the shot and nothing happened. I was baffled. I remember that I had vowed to stopped drinking. That night I could not get drunk. I never touched any liquor again. This year I'm promising to let go of my occasional cup of wine. My last cup was August 20th 2022. Based on God's word and my personal relationship with the Lord. I'm 100 percent certain that we should not be consuming liquor, and we should not be drinking wine for fun. Read your Bible people. Talk to God about it. He will order your steps.
Amen! I’m proud of you for recognizing the move of the Holy Spirit. I agree that wine drinking either. I was a wine drinker and it’s content is high too. I know bcs I wasn’t a liquor drinker. God is good and we are loving proof it’s possible to be sober minded.
This happen to me twice. I drank alcohol and could not get drunk at all. Then i would drink and get tipsy but no matter how much i would consume i could not get drunk. This happened to me for about a year. Stopped drinking in January of this year
@@lordswill168 he's talking about it because it's a HUGE problem in todays church. We don't need validation to sin from the Body of Christ. We get enough of that in the world. What we need is accountability. You got your free will, but if you gave your life to Jesus, you die to your flesh and pick up your cross daily.
@@lordswill168 he sure has. He's even had his daughter come speak to the younger generation saying not to give into sexual immorality and to stand firm 😀
@@lordswill168 I'm sorry, I'm not sure of the title, but it wasn't too long ago. It wasn't so much a sermon, he just let her speak from that area he's always at. She's young like maybe an early teenager.
Thank you for the clarification Brother Marcus. I've always been told that the sin wasn't in drinking but being drunk. It didn't feel right to me so I would never partake when I was in the world. Praise God for His Holy Spirit ‼️
Michele Knox, I though wine was good for medicinal purpose like stomach ailment, and drinking ain't a sin but being drunk is. I have to drink wine or liquor for stomach ailment ( diverticulitis ). I watch what I eat so I don't have to, but every now and then I have to. An alcoholic shouldn't drink period but find another source for stomach ailment like vanilla flavor (that works too ). My opinion about Christian Rap doesn't make sense to me, but I don't knock who like it. I'm not a fan of Church music, so I sing praises to God with thanksgiving from my heart. I still don't knock anyone that like Church music. The Holy Spirit will convict us when we stumble and fall. I'm glad Marcus talked on this subject. Stay blessed and safe 💞🙏.
@@patriciaking7892 I found out recently it’s the organic non-pesticide wine that is supposed to have the benefits. Of course with extreme moderation, because you can still serode your liver (which is why when people ask me personally I don’t encourage drinking) other than that, you’re doing much more harm than good because wines and other alcohols have so much pesticides that it ruins people’s insides.
Amen! I believe abstinence is the better choice for us to be in the correct posture to hear from the Lord and be in his will. 1 Corinthians 6:12 was a great verse to reference!
We also have to remember that there are others who have come out of alcoholism and to temp them would be wrong, and as you said, the Word tells us to be sober minded-not sure how much wine =a shot but not going to chance it. Once i received the Holy Ghost, i happened to be at a bar with my husband(not filled with the H.G.), i literally had to get out after about 5 minutes of being there. And we can’t have an opinion, we MUST go by the Word, final authority!!
I really appreciate this deep topic. A Christian who drinks wine should be wise and use discernment. We can easily taint our identity in Christ if we allow the liquor to take control of our mentality or cause our brother to stumble because of lack of control. I only drink wine at home with my wife after having a nice good meal. Other than that in public it'll be water or juice lol
Amen! That is wisdom you are using. We as Christians must understand that we are the only Bible people will ever read. Sadly ppl always condemn the church and make excuses for not going to church. They don’t understand it’s not our works but our belief in our heart. Yet I’ve come to understand as a child of God, we are representative of Christ;we can not play the grace card forever, not making changes, not growing, not honoring God. After all He is our Father and He is holy.
His grace is sufficient but we know when we are being willfully disobedient time and time again. Im guilty of it. Thank God for AA, my home church on fire for God, my small dependable accountability friends. God is rebuilding my life on Rock this time.
I can honestly say that since I went back and started smoking weed again, I lost hearing God’s voice. I felt like drinking margaritas also set me back spiritually as well. I regret it and need deliverance again for pot. The Lords word is we get sweet sleep, I shouldn’t need to rely on pot. Same with alcohol.
After I quit pot, I started drinking more(because it was never a problem like my daily weed addiction... but sobriety was the root of the issue), then the Lord to me to be completely sober... and then suddenly all the Christians wanna tell me it's OK to drink, Jesus made wine. Well get behind me satan, straight up! It is all pollution to our souls. I'm praying for your complete deliverance brother, in Jesus mighty name! It's been a process for me, but God is so faithful!!! I know He will see you through 🤍
@@knowyourworth8113 you don't need to point fingers... Jesus came to heal the sick. Yes, it's the end times and satan has been tearing us down for generations. Are you seeing this war? Are you helping fight against and tear down this demonic satanic kingdom? I pray the Father blesses you with His eyes of compassion for His people.
Drinking is not a sin, getting drunk is a sin. People try to say that what they were drinking in the bible is different then what they are drinking today, but it was alcohol just like it is today. Noah Got drunk on wine, David got uriah drunk, Lots daughters got him drunk. So it was alcohol. The problem was not drinking the wine is getting drunk. Anything that we do to much off that is not worshiping and serving the Lord is a sin. We make Idols of these things addictions etc. The bible says to drink a glass of wine for the infirmities. A glass of wine has been found to help the body, but more then a glass has shown that it then does not help the body.
You have terribly deceived yourself. Look at the sins that wine was used for in those situations. Just because it happened in the Bible does not make it okay in the eyes of God. You have to understand these people were broken like you and me. Noah got drunk on wine and laid around naked.. is that a Godly and holy thing to do? David slept with Uriahs wife and tried to get Uriah drunk to cover up his sin. Lots daughters got their father drunk and had sex with him which was an abomination in the sight of the Lord. They committed incest. All of these situations are actually a very negative example of wine and proves why you should stay away from it. Also, that verse about infirmities should be taken into context. Paul was telling Timothy to drink a little wine because of certain sickness. They had bad water back then and didn’t have a lot of ways to kill bacteria. Wine was a great alternative. Medical care has come a long way now thank God. We don’t need to drink wine for sickness because we have modern medicine that doesn’t risk the possibility of getting drunk.
Does it seem ironic that they used wine to disarm their victims and take advantage of them. Want to overtake a person in any way, get them drunk. I just realized that by what you pointed out in your statement.
I've never been convicted about drinking wine. HOWEVER, I did have a reflection moment after realizing that I would brag about loving wine even though I drank it in modesty (in the comfort of my own home, alone), and I had to ask myself "Do I love this more than God?" and "Is there anything that I wouldn't give up for God?". When I answered these questions for myself I realized its best that I surrender drinking wine to the Lord as a sacrifice. I won't lie and say I'll never do it again because like I mentioned before I never felt convicted about it, but if God tells me not to do it anymore then I'll obey.
Hope this 👉🏾ua-cam.com/video/xvPX6tMr6mQ/v-deo.html👈🏾 helps you more in knowing what sin is. And what's acceptable in God's eyes according to what He has written in The Bible(KJV). There's preachers that make people feel like they're serving God correctly and then there's preachers that teach with accurate examples of how God wants us to serve Him correctly as He has it written.
God convicted me 2 years ago smoking weed. I was on it multiple times a day and The Lord very strongly showed me it was an idol in my life. Praise God I haven't smoked but one slip up in two years! I even hate the smell of it now...All for my King 👑
@@CaliMisfit1921 you gotta get away from being around it to the best of your ability. The temptation is much easier after the one month mark and even easier after that. Don't give up! I know how hard it is. I'd quit and go back over and over, but I'm finally off because of God Almighty's strength! I know He can do it for you too. I fasted to break the spiritual hold on me, and God honored me and released me ❤️
This is YOUR personal conviction. Drinking narrows down to moderations. If you feel drink is a sin don’t do it and if you choose to drink because there’s no personal conviction in the area then you’re late to drink in moderation meaning you know not to go overboard. Paul tells us when it comes on a personal convictions do not flex your Christian freedoms to cause another brother or sister to stumble but also do not look down upon another brother or sister because they are doing something that you wouldn’t do this is how we solve this problem of personal convictions. Let us respect each other’s convictions and walk in love. And Marcus all you’re doing is reading the Scriptures you’re not actually giving proper contexts you’re reading the scripture at face value spewing them off but you’re not really going in depth of what the scripture means. there are plenty of scriptures like in Ecclesiastes with Solomon saying Gods gift to man is to eat drink and enjoy the fruit of his labor. Here’s the thing I don’t even drink really at all lol I have a wine cooler with my wife every blue moon we sit down and talk then go to bed that’s it so plz Marcus speak for yourself on this topic don’t speak for others my man lol
anything in moderation is key.. What goes into our mouths does not defile us. Obviously addictions is something different.. Again Marcus is off base.. Is he preaching about addiction and drunkards or what we should and should not consume? Sounds like a pharisee to me!
@@mobbin4christ332 Yup! If Marcus really feared the Lord.. You'd think he'd actually take his time and actually articulate a message that we can all understand.. But I guess that would take too much time to prepare... Instead he just rushes through it so he can keep up with his 10- 20 a day media posts..
I agree, the video is started off by saying that alot of people are going to be upset because his stance is not the popular one. We should never read the word to come up with our take on it, we ought to seek The Holy Spirit to helps us to understand God's stance. We also should never base anything on one scripture but study all scriptures on the topic. And you are correct Deu 14:26 is a great example.
The Holy Spirit never moved thru me when I was buzzed on alcohol. I would drink to much and go to Church the next morning and sing in the choir with a headache! A hang over. I felt embarrassed and exhausted. I never felt like binding the enemy,casting out demons or staying after. I just wanted to get out of there. Alcohol hinders the mive of our Holy Spirit. 16 years ago I got water baptized and barried alcohol and cigarettes. Praise God!! If you find yourself making excuses to drink it and justify it. Go before God. Ask Him. He will show you if it's hindering you in any way. 🥰🥰
I drunk once when I was 21 and decided that it was not for me. I dont see what is appealing about drinking something that burns your throat and furthermore spending money on something that you're going to vomit the next morning and then acting out of control and belligerent when you're drunk. I'm usually always the only person within a group that doesn't drink except my family. Most of my family is saved and I didnt grow up with my parents drinking alcohol or smoking anything. So I'm sure they were main influence as to why I never cared for it. People love to bring up that Jesus turned the water into wine for their justification. But like it says in the video to each it's own. I just dont like when people try to make me feel like I'm abnormal because I don't drink, have tattoos, or some of the other things a lot of people do. Of course, I struggled with other things, but just reflecting on the topic presented.
I got drunk only once at 17, and I came to your same conclusion. At that time I didn’t have a relationship with Christ, however I thought it was the stupidest thing I have ever done. I have never tasted a drop of alcohol ever in my life again.
I have been delivered from alcohol and I praise Jesus! I was an almost every day drinker for much of my adult life. A lukewarm Christian as well, but in 2020 the Lord got hold of me as never before. He told me to put down the wine, filled me with the Holy Spirit, and has been blessing me ever since!
I had a big problem with drinking most of my life. I drank every single day. The lord transformed my mind and now I don’t have the desire. It changes your character and makes you act out of your true self. Thank you Jesus for taking that away from me. We can not quench the Holy Spirit. That is one way we do so. It is an addiction and an evil spirit
I would love to have a respectful conversation with Marcus about what the contexts means of Deuteronomy 14:26 When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want-cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household. English Standard Version and spend the money for whatever you desire-oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.
Literally was thinking the same thing. Sometimes I don’t get him. He constantly uses the Bible to justify his stance but neglects other aspects of the Bible like what you just posted. Then goes to say if you don’t agree with him you are a hater. Then everyone in the comments just follow like sheep. I’m not here to bash but I can’t be the only one who sees this lol
This is very refreshing. I’ve always felt it was wrong (and I know that should be enough) but Christians have defended wine. However, anyone sees a Christian with alcohol they’re not going to assume it’ll only be 1 drink - and it can cause ppl to stumble. The Lord gave me conviction about this to not have a single glass. Our testimony loses more than what we gain with one glass.
Its seems that its a very american view. Here in Europe, we as a christians drink, but with moderation. Im french so i like wine. Wine is present even during celebrations at the church. But we have to be careful. Alcohol can easily become an addiction
When I was in the world I loved to drink. When I would drink I would get crazy. I was a completely different person. I drank to black out. I would get angry, jealous and promiscuous when I drank. Drinking alcohol is a no no for born again believers! Stay filled with the Holy Spirit 🥰
I had 2 glasses of wine two weeks ago and was surprised how buzzed I felt. I stopped drinking years ago. In my partying days I used to drink heavily. So I was shocked how only 2 glasses of wine got me feeling like I was drinking hard liquor.
I had 2 glasses yesterday and was feeling so nice and found myself thinking awful thoughts about ppl and getting angry and still wanted to drink more but I didn’t ! No more drinking for me
I drink wine but no buzz no lift because it is just for my.heart and sleep but not every night just small glass getting high is not what I look forward to I need a clear mind to hear and receive revelation from God
I agree bro, it’s definitely a maturity issue it especially was for me . I felt so disconnected with the holyspirit after drinking and I truly believe it was mainly because alcohol and drugs are counterfeit… the same feeling you get with drugs and alcohol is the same with the Holy Spirit but 100 times better while actually gaining and going deeper in your walk with Christ as for drugs and alcohol there’s nothing to gain and in fact a lot to lose. So this is a much needed video and I pray many come into the love and reliance of the holyspirit
By Thanksgiving 2019 I had slowed down on drinking. I drank my wine on the weekends and yes you get tore up off of wine too. I told my self (at least I thought it was me) “In 2020 I’m not drinking any more “. On January 8, 2020 my second oldest son was murdered! I told God I’m still not drinking I need you in your fullness! The devil was on me telling me “awe they’ll understand send somebody to the store and have them bring you some cigarettes too” it had been two years since I quit. I held on to God because then I knew it was the Holy Spirit preparing me by saying in 2020 I wasn’t going to drink anymore. Plus two days before my son was murdered Jesus came to me in a dream holding a lamb gently across his shoulder. I didn’t know what it meant until I got a knock on my door. I knew if I took a drink I would have never came back mentally and maybe not spiritually. After God gave me that dream there was no turning back! It was a battle still a battle because I miss my son, I thank God my son was saved! God did not have to come to me in my dream He didn’t have to do that for me. I’m eternally grateful can’t any wine or liquor top that High of Jesus carry a lamb in my dream and two days my baby was gone. I wish I would take a drink! Not! I’ve gotten closer to God and there’s nothing like our relationship. Your are absolutely right everything you looking for in that bottle ain’t there the feeling can’t compete with God period.
It's not a sin. Bible says we can drink. And I don't even drink. I actually hate alcohol. But the Bible says what it says. Opinions do not override the Bible
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler-not even to eat with such a one. 1 Corinthians 5:11
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Ephesians 5:18-20
@@Angela-BlessedofGod Yeah and all those verses are talking about essentially don't be a alcoholic. Alcohol in excess is definitely wrong. But are you going to ignore other scriptures like proverbs 31 which says give strong drink unto those that are ready to perish and those that be of heavy hearts ? Or Jesus turning water into wine and drinking ? Or even apocryphal books like the book of Sirach say that alcohol in moderation is as good as life. The Israelites even used to tithe alcohol in Deuteronomy 14. Are you guys going to ignore all this for your feelings?
I’ve been convicted for drinking liquor and beer so much so that I lost the taste for it…But I haven’t felt any conviction from drinking wine..and when I tried to stop taking wine, it felt like I was doing it out of religiosity..So to me it all boils down to personal conviction from the Holy Spirit and not just doing it religiously to appear holy in the eyes of people
I’ve struggled with alcoholism for awhile now. I don’t label myself as an alcoholic as I believe that doing so is putting myself and God down, but it’s been hard for me to put the bottle down. I’m definitely working on it, but I feel like God is telling me to not focus on my drinking habits, but rather focus on him instead.
I do agree that if you have an issue with alcohol or if alcoholism runs in your family that you shouldn't drink it. Also if you think it may cause your brother or sister to stumble stay away from it too. However the premise of the argument that wine in biblical times is not the same as wine today isn't completely true. There is no archeological evidence to suggest it isn't the same. Also it's not right to assume that God didn't know what the future of wine would be, God knows all so He knew we would have these arguments or disagreements but still He doesn't say drinking wine is a sin. Also I noticed you only quoted scriptures that talked about drunkenness and not what the Bible says that's positive about wine. If you're going to make an argument against it, you have to use all of scripture not just the verses that you feel support your argument. That's bad exegesis, also Jesus did drink wine and it says we will drink wine in heaven. Let's not add or subtract anything from the word of God. Still love you, God bless you.
“For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children.” Luke 7:33-35 KJV
Wine is one of those things that should be done by Chritians only with your significant other on or date, or better yet, in your home. Wine is one of those things that the Bible speaks of as good as long as it is not misused or abused. But we have to be careful around people who are not spiritually mature because they may not understand and get tripped up from that. Anything else, is a definate distilled spirit in my opinion.
It's not about if it'd a popular opinion. If you drink and don't get drunk it's fine. I'm a little concerned only because it promotes the idea that if you don't drink then you are somehow more godly than someone who does and it gives us sense of entitlement the entitlement to those who don't drink and they it's a pride issue in my opinion for some who don't drink who walk around as self righteous in this particular opinion. It's small issues like this that end up dividing the church and making people feel condemned when they should not be feeling that way this is not the unity so many are talking about this is such division and it's disheartening
I get what you're saying but I've experienced the opposite. I don't think I'm better than anyone, but I'm usually the only person that doesnt drink within a group of people. They act like I'm not normal because I choose not to drink or they try to make jokes about it.
@@cierrahp9702 those ppl are jerks lol it should be fine either way and it shouldn't be an issue. The only time it should be an issue is when ppl get drunk. I will have wine when I'm on my monthly to help with cramps and I don't get wild lol
Personally speaking in my life I have struggled many many times with alcohol more than I can tell you and yes it has been 1 of my weaknesses for a long time💯!! I am saved and born again and yes I have struggled with it even since being saved. I am aware that I have drank emotionally and for the feeling as well. I do believe the Word of God PERIOD and yes I am convicted. I believe moderation is key and not only that but being delivered is so important!! I have suffered great pain and great loss in this life . I loss my 32yr old baby brother 2015 and loss my 40yr old twin in 2020 and we all struggled with alcohol, and Truth be told I was drinking way before I loss my brothers so I know I can't use that as an excuse. But I do want to say thank you Pastor Marcus I love you all so much and I of course receive this Word in Jesus name because I know it is 4 me!! I appreciate the spirit of God and he does help me with everything In this life I go through. I know that I am more than a conqueror in my Father Jesus Christ. Lord help us All and have mercy Lord. Thank you Lord for your help and grace toward me❤
This is truth man. I cut out all alcohol in general b/c I’m a very impulsive person. When I have one beer I just want more. I’d rather not feed that temptation & just live for Jesus Christ almighty🙏🏽
Drinking too much is a sin.....so is eating too much (gluttony) When we are in war we stay alert and sober minded. Spiritual warfare is no time to get lazy and unwise. However if someone has a glass of wine at a wedding I'm not going to judge them or think they love God less than I do just because I chose to not drink at all. In some cultures they serve wine with dinner. I come from a culture where we downed a 40 before we got to the keg party lol so I abstain.
As someone who struggles to live in sobriety from all types mind altering products, I am so sick and tired of professing Christians trying to tell me it ok to drink, when in all actuality I NEED ACCOUNTABILITY!!! Wake up church, and stop being a stumbling block to those of us who are trying to get right!! We don't need a license to sin, we get that enough in the world.
Exactly! Even though we all sin and come short of the Glory of God;we still need to take accountability. Our God is a Holy and should be recognized as Holy. Much known, much required. It’s praying time and this world needs it. It’s time for us to get right, spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and live the Gospel.
You are 100% correct. People say, it does not take all that. However, it does take ALL of that when it comes to maintaining your deliverance from... When you used the word "struggling", that tells me you are in a battle, refusing to give in. However, if you should succumb to it. Do not allow the enemy to make you feel condemned. Repent and carry on in the strength of GOD. Why? Though a JUST man (that is YOU, declared from the beginning of the fall) falls 7 times, He gets back up again. Remember, Greater is HE that is in YOU than he that is in the world. You are an OVERCOMER! Stay close to GOD in prayer, in HIS Word, keep your feet planted in the house of GOD and pray in the Spirit often. Soon, it will not be a struggle, In Jesus Name. GOD Bless you and I rejoice with you!!!
@@dannielleowens3397 I'm not refusing to give in. I am surrounded by it in my family. That's different. I know I'm in a battle. I've been fighting so many demons for over a year now. I've defeated a lot, but my family is entrapped by alcohol, and I cannot control them. When my own husband gives me license to not stay sober instead of holding me accountable, that's a different type of battle. When everyone I love is trapped by alcoholism or inebriation of sone sort, its deeper than myself. I'm warring against their demons in my prayer closet too. Please don't accuse others when you don't know what they are going through. I've surrendered everything I've got to God, but it doesn't mean it's easy. You do not know me ma'am. Assuming can come across as rude... when we in the Body are here to lift up others in the Body during their battles.
Amen, I don't drink liquor or anything like it, so this message, will not upset me, and thank God for being sober, for a lot of years now, and still going.
I'm so glad that you are speaking about this because my husband thinks because Jesus drank wine it's right for him drink beer and he's drinks 24oz beer 3 or of them and he thinks that he doesn't have a problem drinking sometimes 3 times a week and I feel he's has a problem drinking
Spent a year praying to GOD to remove the curse of alcohol out of my life. When I got on my knees and prayed with my face to the floor I woke up with a new feeling and I haven't drank any alcohol since . 3 months on the 15th.
You are spot on brother Marcus. I have never drank any type of alcohol, beer, or wine in my life because I have never had a desire for it. There are many christians that I know drink and drink the hard stuff, because they post it on Facebook. I have never agreed with that. I would say the same thing, if you have the Holy Spirit in you, you don't need it.
Yeshua drank wine, but he was no drunkard , He also ate food but he was no Lizzo, over consumption of any kind is the sin. Our bodies are out temples, moderation is the key in all areas; body ,spirit, mind and soul.
You can drink but not be drunkards! This is New Testament in Romans. ALL things are legal to do unless it causes your brother to stumble. Also if you feel convicted then it is sin for you! And this is coming from someone that doesn’t drink. I’m not sure why Marcus says he won’t be mad at us if we drink. He has no right to judge anyone.
Very Good way to look at it . I stopped drinking mid drink in 2017 I just didn't want it and haven't drank since ....GOD said it wasn't for me. I drink my virgin drinks smoothies.and shakes I enjoy them much more :) no spirits and great taste and plenty of fruit.
Rodger’s you always come at the right time. I stop smoking last year because it was a goal of mine, I started back this yr because of New Years celebration and bang I’m back on it this year. Your also right about everything you said too, imma make it another goal of mine and too stop completely
I’m not a drinker. I have had a glass of wine or two over the years at weddings or other events. But I must say I disagree about the strength of alcohol today. In todays age the government regulates the strength of alcohol. I use to work in a prison and inmates use to make what they called “hooch”, now that unregulated alcohol will knock you out with one shot! That’s why I find it hard to believe alcohol is weaker now. The process is fruit (sugar) and yeast, and that hasn’t changed much since biblical days, just now it’s regulated. But I do understand what you’re saying about Christians representing the Kingdom soberly. And let’s not forget that Paul told Timothy to drink wine. 1Tim 5:23. My doctor actually to me to drink a glass of red wine a night for my iron deficiency. But I just don’t like it. The point is, God has blessed us with everything to be a good Steward and not to abused his blessings.
Perfect! I was told that it would take 70 shots of wine in Jesus day to equal 1 today.. Just what i heard. Also, liquor use to be referred to as "Spirits".. It opens portals guys
They aren't ready to face the demonic man, it breaks my heart. They won't let go of their drinks and their pride. I had to be humbled before I was willing to as well, so I can't say much, but it's rough even in this church these days.
From a former wine drinker: I don’t know why people think that drinking wine isn’t a problem bcs you get just as lit off of wine too. The wine today isn’t like the wine back in Jesus’ day, I truly believe that. I stopped because it wasn’t going to be good for me and God’s relationship if I hadn’t.
If you wanna walk with the Lord faithfully stay away from alcohol.. some people say I only drink a glass of wine everyday, I always argue that one day you will drink 2, 3, whole bottle when you had a bad day or pissed at somebody, the devil always finds a way to trap the children of God.. it’s better not to open that door at all..🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ some people can’t handle alcohol.. it’s better to be sober at all times to be filled with the Spirit of God which is the best than anything in the world 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I gave up drinking, smoking, cursing, watching horror movies etc because I felt that the holy spirit could not live in me ... Now I didnt do it all at once, but I felt the conviction to let go of the worldly things, even secular music I dont listen too... I want to bear the fruits of the spirit.
I’m 53 & still struggling to let go. I have a grandchild & I want to be the best grandma ever. I don’t desire to go to clubs & always felt I never fit in anyway. But I’m still watching horror movies. It’s a challenge . I pray all the time.🙏🏽 Blessings 🙏🏽🌺
I have a glass of wine with dinner or a beer at a bbq. I don’t feel convictions. I definitely don’t agree with being drunk or over drinking or abusing it in any way. That’s sin for sure.
I used to be an alcoholic and when I was going through stuff I drank bottles of vodka every night and became very addicted to it. Also food when I got worried I would eat in access but now I've turned back to Christ 2002 The Lord healed me if the addiction and instead of being addicted I enjoy a glass of wine with my food now and again and when I visit family to celebrate a festival or an occasion. I enjoy the wine not abuse it. That's the thing. Jesus drank wine and turned water into wine and we remember his life crucifixion and the work of the cross with bread and wine.. Satan turns everything he can I to a sin with addictions and over indulgence . When I get stressed I can pray to the Lord read hiswird. Most of the time I'd sooner drink tea or coffee or water. God's healing took the desire away and the addiction.
Confirmation!!!! 1 year and a few weeks sober, and I thank God he has sustained me and I pray daily that he keeps me!! He called me to a place of sober minded, but being sober minded is much deeper than drinking, it’s to have peace of mind, and to think clearly and you cannot do that with something altering your mind!
Once you keep remain in it, its very hard to get out of it and that goes for any drug that alters the mind. This wine and many of these stores are called Spirits and wine, etc....Spirits are in them; yet we are calles be sober minded. I thank God he pulled me and my husband out of this spiraling hell, we prayed our way out, removed ourselves from influences of others and places that temped us. God can and will deliver anyone who make him their dependent and trust. Praise HIM!
Who is going to talk about gluttony and overeating?! I think a lot of us christians are being hypocritical in saying to stay away from drinking alcohol and smoking but let's not pretend that the dopamine from the sugar in all this junk food we eating not giving us some sort of high. I would argue that even junk food has the potential to be just as addictive and harmful to your body as some drugs or alcohol,so we just don't need to limit that verse about staying alert and sober minded to just drugs and alcohol,it can most definitely other permissable things we tend to run to when we should be running to the holy spirit for that satisfaction we're craving.
Exactly! A lot of these people don’t have the Holy Spirit within them. Once you get filled with the Spirit of God, you no longer have a desire for sins. I do not consider myself as a Christian; that’s just a title. I’m a follower of Christ, a doer of his word. I am a believer. Roman 8:13-19 All who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God."
@@kellicollins4011 this is such a silly statement to make and it makes no sense. I love God with all of my heart and I am filled with the Holy Spirit and I drink wine or a good mixer in moderation. I don’t get drunk because it’s not right plus I don’t like the feeling. I do it in moderation mainly when I’m home or at a special event. I know my limits and it doesn’t take away from who I am as a Christian. If you choose to no longer drink that’s fine but don’t make it seem like people who do drink wisely aren’t truly filled with the Holy Spirit because that is false. Having a glass of wine is ok being a drunk is not, there is a difference.
@@Reign-zi9qh Exactly! Why do people eat their favorite snacks if they have the Holy Spirit? You can love God and eat chocolate/drink wine..in moderation
@@FredaL7 right! That’s just like telling someone they can’t eat anything because gluttony is a sin. Lol people don’t understand how ridiculous they sound. You can’t say something isn’t a sin but then try to convict someone for doing it. The religious spirit is very dangerous to the body of Christ because it’s so misleading.
Good message and very timely. We,as believers, are to be set apart-not "dropping it like it's hot",blaming it on the Hennessey, and not having friends with benefits. We are the light of the world. Light cloaked in darkness is darkness- they do not coexist.
We’re even supposed to be careful with meat according to Paul, so we don’t stumble(under the influence) but I do believe that fine wine is ok if you know how to limit !
@@mq8543 ya that’s not what if found. Most scholars I’ve read estimate it was between 10-15% after 15% the yeast naturally dies. Although it was watered down but it was still higher than .5
You can have a drink of wine or strong drink. It is biblical. Obviously if a glass gots you acting goofy then don't drink at all. But let's keep it real how many us are straight after one glass or whatever? Plus all through out the bible a drink of wine or strong drink was ok. God says not to be a wine bibber. 🙄 the word is plain and simple to understand. Not everything in the word is some parable or difficult to understand.
@@standingvertical3048 now pull up bible scripture. Cause I just got done reading a few days ago in Judges 13 when an angel came to Samsons mom and told her that she was pregnant with baby and warned her not to drink no more wine 1, strong drink 2, neither eat any unclean thing 3 due to her being pregnant. And what God showed over this topic is that having a drink is ok. I'm not saying anything else so do not add or take away to what I said. We don't need to drink but Lord knows a drink can take the edge off of the hardness that come with living life. Even in revelations 6 somewhere God says to his angels not to destroy the oil and wine. Now why would God say that? Just ponder on that. But for me, God gave me the green light to have a drink if need be. So I don't judge. Plus if we have discernment we know who are just plain alcoholics. But even then don't judge. Just pray for those folks.
@@lordswill168 thank you for your concern, I truly am at peace 🙂 my fervent love for the Lord ignites my fire for the truth. That's all. I'm always open for debate it's in my character. If I come off aggressive then I apologize. ❤️🔥
@@standingvertical3048 what in the world does Matthew 26:29 got to do with what I said? All I am saying is that having a drink of wine or strong drink is biblical. God says be sober MINDED not sober.
This is a powerful message Marcus, all truth. I’m so grateful I’m sober now. I use to smoke & I thought I would never get delivered. I fasted & prayed & I asked the Lord to take the taste & desire away. I also put the prayer request in my church prayer box 3 times.
I don't drink alcohol or wine or anything but it's because I'd rather be safe than sorry. I don't want to grieve the Holy Spirit and am trying to live a Holy Life. This is my choice and thank God I don't even crave it but like you say Pastor God knows best. I've seen a lot of family members drink and it just opens up demonic doors in their lives, only trouble and I don't want trouble in my life from demons lol better to run away from the devil and not keep him as a pet lol
Few years ago I almost died from a dui with a drunk driver. My SUV got totaled & my gf who I was with at the time got her spine broken, internal bleeding & a lot of other injuries (she’s fine now) but yea
2020 my sister died in a drunk driving accident. Her car, but she wasn't driving hit a tree and the driver survived. I'd like to say I stopped drinking that very day but I didn't. Fast forward 2 weeks ago I'm holding strong after giving up drinking and smoking. I pray daily for strength and to not fall into temptation. Had to cut few people off and others have been very supportive.
This man always bringing the truth!!! I love it!! If we gone serve God why we always gotta dibble and dabble in the world.. why we gotta make excuses to do what we wanna do .. if u gone serve God .. let him Transform u , u fall in love with him and serve him to the fullest.. he deserves it.. he deserves all of ua
I am the person who used to smoke weed and get drunk on a regular basis but when the Holy Spirit convicted me of using other things to bring me peace and happiness I instantly stopped. I thank the Lord for opening my eyes and my heart to His will and giving me the desire to want to continually please Him and not the flesh.
I've always been a 1-2 drink man. 3 max if I'm letting loose. And only on holidays, get togethers etc. I could make a whole pack of 30 beers last the whole year. And the funny thing is, I think I get to enjoy that 1 drink more then the people who get trashed and say they have a great time. I never even get the urge to drink, but when I do it's enjoyable. I think this is the only way to go about it. Just like cake, it's enjoyable when you have it once in a blue moon. Like imagine eating cake every week or more ... how is that special and fun lol sounds gross and unhealthy
Marcus Rogers you're so right what you saying. I was bound by alcohol for years and bad behaviors behind it when i was so drunk. But when I called upon the Lord to deliver me from he did he even took the taste of alcohol out of me, and i had no withdrawals. That was around 2013 when the Lord delivered me from alcohol and it's now 2022 and I'm still free from alcohol and hate it. Thank you Jesus! People Jesus Christ can deliver you from and addictions you're bond with, so please give him a try by asking him to deliver you. Please!!!
I feel the holy Spirit condemning me if I would drink alcohol. I feel like it's a door you're opening to the enemy. Of course that's my personal opinion.
Drinking or not drinking is definitely a personal choice. If you struggled with getting drunk and not being able to stay sober, it’s not wise to drink unless you have self-control. If you’re a Christian who enjoys a drink and you don’t struggle with drunkenness, it shouldn’t be an issue. If you tempted to grab one glass after another and always end up drunk, it might not be a good idea to drink period. I wouldn’t recommend drinking any of the super strong stuff like Marcus said just because that can be a downward spiral lol. But if you wanna have a glass of wine, cocktail, margarita, or something light, and you out to dinner, I don’t think that’s a problem. (Depends on size, weight, tolerance). Drinks can be fun to try at restaurants and in different cities if you know how to stay sober and avoid the sin of it. I used to not desire to drink when I was in college, and didn’t drink when I turned 21, but as I got further into my 20s, got married, and started embracing my adulthood more, I tried it and learned to like it in a healthy way. Doing it responsibly was natural because I was already mature mentally & I was prepared to learn my own boundaries/limits. It takes some tolerance building, but if you want to drink, wisdom is the principle behind this. And if you feel convicted and choose not to do it, that can be a good route too.
i was delivered from alcoholism where i would take 5 tequila shots just to start the night 4-5x a week. God delivered me fully and now when i even have 1 glass of wine with dinner im done after or don’t even want it after a sip. I had a glass yesterday because a friend is in town and they wanted to keep drinking and i didn’t. then i see this video and God is speaking to me “so God only convicts some people?” a potion that alters your mind wow! truth. praise the Lord
I only drink a nice glass of wine with a meal, weddings, or special event occasions, and use wine as cooking recipe to make something. And there is nothing good about getting drunk. There is absolutely no reason for it. It’s nasty and causes all kinds of problems. I don’t get why people have to drink to get drunk. I watched my alcoholic mother succumb to alcoholism and few family members die from alcohol poisoning. No reason for this period!
Deuteronomy 14:26 New King James Version 26 And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household Wine and STRONG Drink ? What is that ? Other versions New Living Translation When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want-cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household. English Standard Version and spend the money for whatever you desire-oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.
Wow you said exactly what my testimony is I Prayed and ask God to take the taste out of my mouth and he did, I was delivered and set free December 2,2022 was six years..and another thing I feel, like now this is my opinion,most people can't drink one, they want another and another until next thing you know you're drunk ..that was myself..so yes I feel like when it comes to this subject there is a lot of justifying..and I agree we have to work out our own Salvation with fear and trembling ..God Bless you brother Marcus and your family 🙏🙌🏻❤️
@@standingvertical3048 it's sad that you have to be rude. And can't agree to disagree. There many scripture that talks about wine and I don't think according to scripture God is pleased with a Christian drinking wine. Because it dulls the senses. If you have God's Holy Spirit why do you need another form of peace? I'm just quoting what's written. Jesus first miracle was turning water into wine to show His Glory he didn't drink it.

All I can say is , once you feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit no matter what it is , casually drinking, barely drinking, smoking marijuana or even smoking cigarettes. Once that conviction hits you, you will KNOW and you will feel it so strongly that you Know you need to STOP . Just listen to the Holy Spirit ☺️
Amen sister!! And once you feel the conviction you best respond.
Amen sis
Amen.
Yes! Amen!
Oh yes so true.. I love the way theHoly Spirit convicts 🙌🏼🙌🏼 sometimes I just laugh and obey but embarrassed to what I was about to do or say 🙈😂
100 percent true. I was a drinker drinker almost everyday and God took the taste out of my mouth. I don’t even crave it no more at all. Thank you Lord for that. I did have some wine at first but then I just felt I don’t even need that no more. I got God with me I just wanna be in God presence. Be sober minded.
Thank you for testifying I’m proud of you brother . I’m currently going through the same with weed. At first my mind was trying to cop a plea and I’d think maybe I could smoke cbd instead which doesn’t have any psychoactive effects. I caught myself, then had thoughts about nicotine products like black n milds and realized how much of an issue I actually had . I’m completely sober and feel gods presence with me and now I’m at the point where I don’t crave or think about any of these things God is great 💪🏽

In these last days I recommend no drinking. It’s cautious to be sober minded because the devil is busy and anything that will allow him access to you will lead you to the path of destruction.
Very well said !.

Recite the Lord's prayer everyday, believe it with faith and it does something without you even trying to do anything. Put the rest that you want to pray about afterward or even before, and it'll dwindle. Pray to see and not be blind and it be revealed to you what you're really doing and what it really is and you should come through it all if you want it enough and you let that faith keep building enough through you to believe enough what's been revealed to you and then just praise God/Jesus. He loves to be praised.
That's a demon and you need deliverance. Generational curses
I’m praying for you Brittney. You made the first step by confessing you need help in that area. Keep praying and ask the Lord for deliverance. God is more than able to deliver you. He loves you, understands you and He is there for you. When we are weak He is strong!
I can't just have one drink. Abstinence is the best policy. I was delivered for a reason.👍👍
You go brother 🙌
Same !
Same amen!
Delivered 26 years ago. 1 drink equals 10. Don't. I don't drink but I still have the occasional taste for it but keep it under Him. He delivered me for a reason. I wasn't the best version of myself.
🔥🙏🏾🔥
Thank you for this Marcus. As someone who has off/on struggles with using alcohol as a way to feel better or have a good time, I needed to hear this. I have had bad experiences in the past of getting too drunk and not remembering the things I said/did the next day. I would end up hurting some people I was close to and feel so much guilt. Ever since becoming a mom in March, I have not wanted to drink as much and now that I have grown closer to God again, I want to stay sober-minded. I want this for my partner as well but he likes to drink. Please pray for us.
Hey girl, I'm 20 months sober. I would black out. Not remember. Sleep around hurt people AND not remember. It was rough. I didn't even MEAN to do it bc I don't even have a memory of it BUT I did it and take accountability. By being accountabile for my evil actions I quit alcohol cold and fully with Jesus help. The best I'm sorry and apology to the ones we didn't mean to hurt, is to NOT drink. Ever. We will never be healed. We will never be able to "controll it" we will always end up taking it too far. May be able to control is temporarily but not permanently. Eventually you will get out of control, embarrass yourself, others, or harm yourself and other's. Especially as a mom to mom, here, kid's need us strong and sober minded. You got this sister. If God did it for me he will do it for you. But you have to let it go first. Stop drinking for good and God will deliver you from the cravings or the bad days where you feel bad and want to unwind. Don't fall for the trap. We WILL have bad days. Inevitable. But my days are not as bad as my best days drinking. No shame or sickness the next day. Worth being sober. God bless you. You Can and will do it. Break the generational curse from your child BY being SIBER 🙏🙏❤️
You need not apologize brother marcus for delivering the word which is truth, we sinners have to settle with our flesh and make up our minds to follow Christ and stop blaming others for our mistakes, just like when your best friend says your wife is cheating or your man is cheating and that very friend gets mad at the messenger not the offended because they wontnown up to who is really wrong
No brother Marcus no apology needed I thank you for the message and ask for your prayers
The Lord will strengthen you!! We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video!!! Alcohol nearly destroyed my family when I was a child. I'm trying to help people with addictions and to lead them to the Lord.
I agree that wine back then isn’t what there is now . I can’t lie, I drink on occasion but I don’t see the point of it besides having it to alter your current state. As a believer I really see more and more it’s pointless. The way it makes you feel , I want to be my true self and allow the Holy Spirit to fill me what I’m looking for. It’s a personal conviction . Not easy but my take. I’m definitely not drinking to get drunk.
If you go to a wise church no one will tell you do not drink, or do not go to club etc....they will focus on your growth, like you said when your faith grows to a certain point you will see for your self. Telling people don't do this don't do that usually does not work
Hi nice to meet you...I drink the occasional glass of red wine for my blood and my stomach as the Lord told me a little wine would help my stomach problems...so I see nothing wrong with it other than when its abused...use is not abuse... God put everything on earth for our use not our abuse I believe the Word and that's what it says...it also says keep what you believe between you and the Lord so u don't condemn yourself by causing someone to do something they think is wrong...if u believe it's a sin then it is...for you...I wish more teachers would use all scripture to explain their point not just the ones that fit what they say... Jesus said what u put in your mouth isn't a sin it's what comes out of it... however we know gluttony and greed are sins that are idolatry...that's abuse of what the Lord has given us...the reason I commented was that u were one of few who actually I felt had some common sense. God bless you 💓🙏💓
It kinda is though.
New Year’s eve eve of 2020 the Lord spoke to me in my dream and told me to sober up, I am His warrior and He is coming soon. When He said sober up I knew exactly what he was talking about. It was my drinking. I went into the new year sober and been ever since 🙌🏼 God is preparing those who love Him and who are willing to give anything up for him ❤️
Hallelujah!
Amen

Proverbs 20:1
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
King James Version (KJV)
I stopped drinking liquor in October of 2021. I remember hosting a dinner for my birthday at a reputable Mexican style restaurant. I ordered a margarita. I felt as if the drink wasn't strong enough. So my bestfriend ordered me a shot. Took the shot and nothing happened. I was baffled. I remember that I had vowed to stopped drinking. That night I could not get drunk. I never touched any liquor again. This year I'm promising to let go of my occasional cup of wine. My last cup was August 20th 2022. Based on God's word and my personal relationship with the Lord. I'm 100 percent certain that we should not be consuming liquor, and we should not be drinking wine for fun. Read your Bible people. Talk to God about it. He will order your steps.
Amen! You can do it sis, I support you in your journey
Amen! I’m proud of you for recognizing the move of the Holy Spirit. I agree that wine drinking either. I was a wine drinker and it’s content is high too. I know bcs I wasn’t a liquor drinker. God is good and we are loving proof it’s possible to be sober minded.
This happen to me twice. I drank alcohol and could not get drunk at all.
Then i would drink and get tipsy but no matter how much i would consume i could not get drunk. This happened to me for about a year. Stopped drinking in January of this year
drinking is a part of my past and there it will stay! Thank you God 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

@@lordswill168 he's talking about it because it's a HUGE problem in todays church. We don't need validation to sin from the Body of Christ. We get enough of that in the world. What we need is accountability.
You got your free will, but if you gave your life to Jesus, you die to your flesh and pick up your cross daily.

Thank you for the clarification Brother Marcus. I've always been told that the sin wasn't in drinking but being drunk. It didn't feel right to me so I would never partake when I was in the world. Praise God for His Holy Spirit ‼️
Michele Knox. I have a question who replied to your comment because I can't see it. Just wondering. Thanks
@@Godschild77749 I'm not sure...that's a good question. I don't see any comments either.
Michele Knox, I though wine was good for medicinal purpose like stomach ailment, and drinking ain't a sin but being drunk is. I have to drink wine or liquor for stomach ailment ( diverticulitis ). I watch what I eat so I don't have to, but every now and then I have to. An alcoholic shouldn't drink period but find another source for stomach ailment like vanilla flavor (that works too ). My opinion about Christian Rap doesn't make sense to me, but I don't knock who like it. I'm not a fan of Church music, so I sing praises to God with thanksgiving from my heart. I still don't knock anyone that like Church music. The Holy Spirit will convict us when we stumble and fall. I'm glad Marcus talked on this subject. Stay blessed and safe 💞🙏.
@@patriciaking7892 I found out recently it’s the organic non-pesticide wine that is supposed to have the benefits. Of course with extreme moderation, because you can still serode your liver (which is why when people ask me personally I don’t encourage drinking) other than that, you’re doing much more harm than good because wines and other alcohols have so much pesticides that it ruins people’s insides.
@@pouncy94 what is a non-pesticide wine. Example please.
Amen! I believe abstinence is the better choice for us to be in the correct posture to hear from the Lord and be in his will.
1 Corinthians 6:12 was a great verse to reference!
We also have to remember that there are others who have come out of alcoholism and to temp them would be wrong, and as you said, the Word tells us to be sober minded-not sure how much wine =a shot but not going to chance it. Once i received the Holy Ghost, i happened to be at a bar with my husband(not filled with the H.G.), i literally had to get out after about 5 minutes of being there.
And we can’t have an opinion, we MUST go by the Word, final authority!!
Hallelujah Jesus don't play . 😁🙌🙏🔥😂
Right back then the water wasnt filtered so wine helped the stomach. But now people drink to run away from not taking accountability for themselves
Use full counsel of this brother Marcus I understand your point but remember wine was also a blessing when done in obedience self control

Let's talk, I've got something big to introduce ☝️...
I really appreciate this deep topic. A Christian who drinks wine should be wise and use discernment. We can easily taint our identity in Christ if we allow the liquor to take control of our mentality or cause our brother to stumble because of lack of control. I only drink wine at home with my wife after having a nice good meal. Other than that in public it'll be water or juice lol
Amen! That is wisdom you are using. We as Christians must understand that we are the only Bible people will ever read. Sadly ppl always condemn the church and make excuses for not going to church. They don’t understand it’s not our works but our belief in our heart. Yet I’ve come to understand as a child of God, we are representative of Christ;we can not play the grace card forever, not making changes, not growing, not honoring God. After all He is our Father and He is holy.
His grace is sufficient but we know when we are being willfully disobedient time and time again. Im guilty of it. Thank God for AA, my home church on fire for God, my small dependable accountability friends. God is rebuilding my life on Rock this time.
I can honestly say that since I went back and started smoking weed again, I lost hearing God’s voice. I felt like drinking margaritas also set me back spiritually as well. I regret it and need deliverance again for pot. The Lords word is we get sweet sleep, I shouldn’t need to rely on pot. Same with alcohol.
End times… never knew people naming the name of Christ are this bound
After I quit pot, I started drinking more(because it was never a problem like my daily weed addiction... but sobriety was the root of the issue), then the Lord to me to be completely sober... and then suddenly all the Christians wanna tell me it's OK to drink, Jesus made wine. Well get behind me satan, straight up! It is all pollution to our souls. I'm praying for your complete deliverance brother, in Jesus mighty name! It's been a process for me, but God is so faithful!!! I know He will see you through 🤍
@@knowyourworth8113 you don't need to point fingers... Jesus came to heal the sick. Yes, it's the end times and satan has been tearing us down for generations. Are you seeing this war? Are you helping fight against and tear down this demonic satanic kingdom? I pray the Father blesses you with His eyes of compassion for His people.

Drinking is not a sin, getting drunk is a sin. People try to say that what they were drinking in the bible is different then what they are drinking today, but it was alcohol just like it is today. Noah Got drunk on wine, David got uriah drunk, Lots daughters got him drunk. So it was alcohol. The problem was not drinking the wine is getting drunk. Anything that we do to much off that is not worshiping and serving the Lord is a sin. We make Idols of these things addictions etc. The bible says to drink a glass of wine for the infirmities. A glass of wine has been found to help the body, but more then a glass has shown that it then does not help the body.
You have terribly deceived yourself. Look at the sins that wine was used for in those situations. Just because it happened in the Bible does not make it okay in the eyes of God. You have to understand these people were broken like you and me. Noah got drunk on wine and laid around naked.. is that a Godly and holy thing to do? David slept with Uriahs wife and tried to get Uriah drunk to cover up his sin. Lots daughters got their father drunk and had sex with him which was an abomination in the sight of the Lord. They committed incest. All of these situations are actually a very negative example of wine and proves why you should stay away from it.
Also, that verse about infirmities should be taken into context. Paul was telling Timothy to drink a little wine because of certain sickness. They had bad water back then and didn’t have a lot of ways to kill bacteria. Wine was a great alternative. Medical care has come a long way now thank God. We don’t need to drink wine for sickness because we have modern medicine that doesn’t risk the possibility of getting drunk.
💯
Does it seem ironic that they used wine to disarm their victims and take advantage of them. Want to overtake a person in any way, get them drunk. I just realized that by what you pointed out in your statement.
Noah got drunk (obsessed)off his work in his vineyard , not drunk by alcohol
I've never been convicted about drinking wine. HOWEVER, I did have a reflection moment after realizing that I would brag about loving wine even though I drank it in modesty (in the comfort of my own home, alone), and I had to ask myself "Do I love this more than God?" and "Is there anything that I wouldn't give up for God?". When I answered these questions for myself I realized its best that I surrender drinking wine to the Lord as a sacrifice. I won't lie and say I'll never do it again because like I mentioned before I never felt convicted about it, but if God tells me not to do it anymore then I'll obey.
Hope this

God convicted me 2 years ago smoking weed. I was on it multiple times a day and The Lord very strongly showed me it was an idol in my life. Praise God I haven't smoked but one slip up in two years! I even hate the smell of it now...All for my King 👑
Hallelujah!
Wow, Amen! Glory to God!
Praise God 🙌🏾
Its been two weeks for me, and the amount of temptation that has come my way is ridiculous. Trying to stay strong! 🙏🏾
@@CaliMisfit1921 you gotta get away from being around it to the best of your ability. The temptation is much easier after the one month mark and even easier after that. Don't give up! I know how hard it is. I'd quit and go back over and over, but I'm finally off because of God Almighty's strength! I know He can do it for you too. I fasted to break the spiritual hold on me, and God honored me and released me ❤️
This is YOUR personal conviction. Drinking narrows down to moderations. If you feel drink is a sin don’t do it and if you choose to drink because there’s no personal conviction in the area then you’re late to drink in moderation meaning you know not to go overboard. Paul tells us when it comes on a personal convictions do not flex your Christian freedoms to cause another brother or sister to stumble but also do not look down upon another brother or sister because they are doing something that you wouldn’t do this is how we solve this problem of personal convictions. Let us respect each other’s convictions and walk in love.
And Marcus all you’re doing is reading the Scriptures you’re not actually giving proper contexts you’re reading the scripture at face value spewing them off but you’re not really going in depth of what the scripture means. there are plenty of scriptures like in Ecclesiastes with Solomon saying Gods gift to man is to eat drink and enjoy the fruit of his labor. Here’s the thing I don’t even drink really at all lol I have a wine cooler with my wife every blue moon we sit down and talk then go to bed that’s it so plz Marcus speak for yourself on this topic don’t speak for others my man lol
anything in moderation is key.. What goes into our mouths does not defile us. Obviously addictions is something different.. Again Marcus is off base.. Is he preaching about addiction and drunkards or what we should and should not consume? Sounds like a pharisee to me!
@@ToyToons exactly lol I’m wondering who is he referring to? Any true believer who decides to drink clearly understands moderation is the key.
@@mobbin4christ332 Yup! If Marcus really feared the Lord.. You'd think he'd actually take his time and actually articulate a message that we can all understand.. But I guess that would take too much time to prepare... Instead he just rushes through it so he can keep up with his 10- 20 a day media posts..
I agree, the video is started off by saying that alot of people are going to be upset because his stance is not the popular one. We should never read the word to come up with our take on it, we ought to seek The Holy Spirit to helps us to understand God's stance. We also should never base anything on one scripture but study all scriptures on the topic. And you are correct Deu 14:26 is a great example.
The Holy Spirit never moved thru me when I was buzzed on alcohol. I would drink to much and go to Church the next morning and sing in the choir with a headache! A hang over. I felt embarrassed and exhausted. I never felt like binding the enemy,casting out demons or staying after. I just wanted to get out of there. Alcohol hinders the mive of our Holy Spirit. 16 years ago I got water baptized and barried alcohol and cigarettes. Praise God!! If you find yourself making excuses to drink it and justify it. Go before God. Ask Him. He will show you if it's hindering you in any way. 🥰🥰
Man, you would be drunk haha
I drunk once when I was 21 and decided that it was not for me. I dont see what is appealing about drinking something that burns your throat and furthermore spending money on something that you're going to vomit the next morning and then acting out of control and belligerent when you're drunk. I'm usually always the only person within a group that doesn't drink except my family. Most of my family is saved and I didnt grow up with my parents drinking alcohol or smoking anything. So I'm sure they were main influence as to why I never cared for it. People love to bring up that Jesus turned the water into wine for their justification. But like it says in the video to each it's own. I just dont like when people try to make me feel like I'm abnormal because I don't drink, have tattoos, or some of the other things a lot of people do. Of course, I struggled with other things, but just reflecting on the topic presented.
you're smart Cierrah, to pick up the wisdom around your raising and witness of your family's life and keep it in your life.
I got drunk only once at 17, and I came to your same conclusion. At that time I didn’t have a relationship with Christ, however I thought it was the stupidest thing I have ever done. I have never tasted a drop of alcohol ever in my life again.
I have been delivered from alcohol and I praise Jesus! I was an almost every day drinker for much of my adult life. A lukewarm Christian as well, but in 2020 the Lord got hold of me as never before. He told me to put down the wine, filled me with the Holy Spirit, and has been blessing me ever since!
I had a big problem with drinking most of my life. I drank every single day. The lord transformed my mind and now I don’t have the desire. It changes your character and makes you act out of your true self. Thank you Jesus for taking that away from me. We can not quench the Holy Spirit. That is one way we do so. It is an addiction and an evil spirit
Lord supper ain't grape juice especially the one in the package
Amen!
I would love to have a respectful conversation with Marcus about what the contexts means of
Deuteronomy 14:26
When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want-cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household.
English Standard Version
and spend the money for whatever you desire-oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.
Literally was thinking the same thing. Sometimes I don’t get him. He constantly uses the Bible to justify his stance but neglects other aspects of the Bible like what you just posted. Then goes to say if you don’t agree with him you are a hater. Then everyone in the comments just follow like sheep. I’m not here to bash but I can’t be the only one who sees this lol
You bring a very good point. I find a majority of Christian find a scripture to for their point and neglect the other ones.
You can definitely tell you don’t drink…”cup” of wine? 😂 I appreciate you for this one, Brother Marcus! 🙏🏼🙌🏼 In Jesus’ name!
I really went back and forth with idea of being able to drink after salvation. This helped give me some clarity so thank you for that 😊
This is very refreshing. I’ve always felt it was wrong (and I know that should be enough) but Christians have defended wine. However, anyone sees a Christian with alcohol they’re not going to assume it’ll only be 1 drink - and it can cause ppl to stumble. The Lord gave me conviction about this to not have a single glass. Our testimony loses more than what we gain with one glass.
Amen 🙌 Satan wants to steal our testimony because it defeats him Revelation 12:11
Well said, Amen!
Its seems that its a very american view. Here in Europe, we as a christians drink, but with moderation. Im french so i like wine. Wine is present even during celebrations at the church. But we have to be careful. Alcohol can easily become an addiction
@@revertnicolas5977 and that is why it should be avoided. That was the conviction the Lord gave me. 😊
@@ba_saved i respect that. It makes sense is the US
Getting drunk is definitely a sin. I did some research and saw that drinking win and beer in moderation is healthy for you, key word moderation.
Thank you!!!
Absolutely and even wine and beer are used for cooking as well which is what I do to enhance flavors of food I make.
Agreed! Moderation is key to so many things in life like diet, alcohol, entertainment (sports, movies, tv etc).

When I was in the world I loved to drink. When I would drink I would get crazy. I was a completely different person. I drank to black out. I would get angry, jealous and promiscuous when I drank. Drinking alcohol is a no no for born again believers! Stay filled with the Holy Spirit 🥰
I had 2 glasses of wine two weeks ago and was surprised how buzzed I felt. I stopped drinking years ago. In my partying days I used to drink heavily. So I was shocked how only 2 glasses of wine got me feeling like I was drinking hard liquor.
😂😂
The devil got a TRAP set for you…like a dog that returns to his 🤮 vomit
I had 2 glasses yesterday and was feeling so nice and found myself thinking awful thoughts about ppl and getting angry and still wanted to drink more but I didn’t ! No more drinking for me
I drink wine but no buzz no lift because it is just for my.heart and sleep but not every night just small glass getting high is not what I look forward to I need a clear mind to hear and receive revelation from God
I agree bro, it’s definitely a maturity issue it especially was for me . I felt so disconnected with the holyspirit after drinking and I truly believe it was mainly because alcohol and drugs are counterfeit… the same feeling you get with drugs and alcohol is the same with the Holy Spirit but 100 times better while actually gaining and going deeper in your walk with Christ as for drugs and alcohol there’s nothing to gain and in fact a lot to lose. So this is a much needed video and I pray many come into the love and reliance of the holyspirit
Amen
By Thanksgiving 2019 I had slowed down on drinking. I drank my wine on the weekends and yes you get tore up off of wine too. I told my self (at least I thought it was me) “In 2020 I’m not drinking any more “. On January 8, 2020 my second oldest son was murdered! I told God I’m still not drinking I need you in your fullness! The devil was on me telling me “awe they’ll understand send somebody to the store and have them bring you some cigarettes too” it had been two years since I quit. I held on to God because then I knew it was the Holy Spirit preparing me by saying in 2020 I wasn’t going to drink anymore. Plus two days before my son was murdered Jesus came to me in a dream holding a lamb gently across his shoulder. I didn’t know what it meant until I got a knock on my door. I knew if I took a drink I would have never came back mentally and maybe not spiritually. After God gave me that dream there was no turning back! It was a battle still a battle because I miss my son, I thank God my son was saved! God did not have to come to me in my dream He didn’t have to do that for me. I’m eternally grateful can’t any wine or liquor top that High of Jesus carry a lamb in my dream and two days my baby was gone. I wish I would take a drink! Not! I’ve gotten closer to God and there’s nothing like our relationship. Your are absolutely right everything you looking for in that bottle ain’t there the feeling can’t compete with God period.
It's not a sin. Bible says we can drink. And I don't even drink. I actually hate alcohol. But the Bible says what it says. Opinions do not override the Bible
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise. Proverbs 20:1
But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler-not even to eat with such a one. 1 Corinthians 5:11
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Ephesians 5:18-20
@@Angela-BlessedofGod
Yeah and all those verses are talking about essentially don't be a alcoholic. Alcohol in excess is definitely wrong. But are you going to ignore other scriptures like proverbs 31 which says give strong drink unto those that are ready to perish and those that be of heavy hearts ? Or Jesus turning water into wine and drinking ? Or even apocryphal books like the book of Sirach say that alcohol in moderation is as good as life. The Israelites even used to tithe alcohol in Deuteronomy 14. Are you guys going to ignore all this for your feelings?
I’ve been convicted for drinking liquor and beer so much so that I lost the taste for it…But I haven’t felt any conviction from drinking wine..and when I tried to stop taking wine, it felt like I was doing it out of religiosity..So to me it all boils down to personal conviction from the Holy Spirit and not just doing it religiously to appear holy in the eyes of people
I’ve struggled with alcoholism for awhile now. I don’t label myself as an alcoholic as I believe that doing so is putting myself and God down, but it’s been hard for me to put the bottle down. I’m definitely working on it, but I feel like God is telling me to not focus on my drinking habits, but rather focus on him instead.
I do agree that if you have an issue with alcohol or if alcoholism runs in your family that you shouldn't drink it. Also if you think it may cause your brother or sister to stumble stay away from it too. However the premise of the argument that wine in biblical times is not the same as wine today isn't completely true. There is no archeological evidence to suggest it isn't the same. Also it's not right to assume that God didn't know what the future of wine would be, God knows all so He knew we would have these arguments or disagreements but still He doesn't say drinking wine is a sin. Also I noticed you only quoted scriptures that talked about drunkenness and not what the Bible says that's positive about wine. If you're going to make an argument against it, you have to use all of scripture not just the verses that you feel support your argument. That's bad exegesis, also Jesus did drink wine and it says we will drink wine in heaven. Let's not add or subtract anything from the word of God. Still love you, God bless you.
“For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children.”
Luke 7:33-35 KJV
They’ll skip this though
Amen!!! Thank you for posting this when everyone is drinking and endorsing it in the church !!
Straight up!!!
Wine is one of those things that should be done by Chritians only with your significant other on or date, or better yet, in your home. Wine is one of those things that the Bible speaks of as good as long as it is not misused or abused. But we have to be careful around people who are not spiritually mature because they may not understand and get tripped up from that. Anything else, is a definate distilled spirit in my opinion.
Where???? Bring the scripture up … I’ll wait
It's not about if it'd a popular opinion. If you drink and don't get drunk it's fine. I'm a little concerned only because it promotes the idea that if you don't drink then you are somehow more godly than someone who does and it gives us sense of entitlement the entitlement to those who don't drink and they it's a pride issue in my opinion for some who don't drink who walk around as self righteous in this particular opinion. It's small issues like this that end up dividing the church and making people feel condemned when they should not be feeling that way this is not the unity so many are talking about this is such division and it's disheartening
I get what you're saying but I've experienced the opposite. I don't think I'm better than anyone, but I'm usually the only person that doesnt drink within a group of people. They act like I'm not normal because I choose not to drink or they try to make jokes about it.
@@cierrahp9702 those ppl are jerks lol it should be fine either way and it shouldn't be an issue. The only time it should be an issue is when ppl get drunk. I will have wine when I'm on my monthly to help with cramps and I don't get wild lol
Personally speaking in my life I have struggled many many times with alcohol more than I can tell you and yes it has been 1 of my weaknesses for a long time💯!! I am saved and born again and yes I have struggled with it even since being saved. I am aware that I have drank emotionally and for the feeling as well. I do believe the Word of God PERIOD and yes I am convicted. I believe moderation is key and not only that but being delivered is so important!! I have suffered great pain and great loss in this life . I loss my 32yr old baby brother 2015 and loss my 40yr old twin in 2020 and we all struggled with alcohol, and Truth be told I was drinking way before I loss my brothers so I know I can't use that as an excuse. But I do want to say thank you Pastor Marcus I love you all so much and I of course receive this Word in Jesus name because I know it is 4 me!! I appreciate the spirit of God and he does help me with everything In this life I go through. I know that I am more than a conqueror in my Father Jesus Christ. Lord help us All and have mercy Lord. Thank you Lord for your help and grace toward me❤
This is truth man. I cut out all alcohol in general b/c I’m a very impulsive person. When I have one beer I just want more. I’d rather not feed that temptation & just live for Jesus Christ almighty🙏🏽
Drinking too much is a sin.....so is eating too much (gluttony)
When we are in war we stay alert and sober minded. Spiritual warfare is no time to get lazy and unwise. However if someone has a glass of wine at a wedding I'm not going to judge them or think they love God less than I do just because I chose to not drink at all. In some cultures they serve wine with dinner. I come from a culture where we downed a 40 before we got to the keg party lol so I abstain.
As someone who struggles to live in sobriety from all types mind altering products, I am so sick and tired of professing Christians trying to tell me it ok to drink, when in all actuality I NEED ACCOUNTABILITY!!! Wake up church, and stop being a stumbling block to those of us who are trying to get right!! We don't need a license to sin, we get that enough in the world.
Exactly! Even though we all sin and come short of the Glory of God;we still need to take accountability. Our God is a Holy and should be recognized as Holy. Much known, much required. It’s praying time and this world needs it. It’s time for us to get right, spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and live the Gospel.
You are 100% correct. People say, it does not take all that. However, it does take ALL of that when it comes to maintaining your deliverance from... When you used the word "struggling", that tells me you are in a battle, refusing to give in. However, if you should succumb to it. Do not allow the enemy to make you feel condemned. Repent and carry on in the strength of GOD. Why? Though a JUST man (that is YOU, declared from the beginning of the fall) falls 7 times, He gets back up again.
Remember, Greater is HE that is in YOU than he that is in the world. You are an OVERCOMER! Stay close to GOD in prayer, in HIS Word, keep your feet planted in the house of GOD and pray in the Spirit often. Soon, it will not be a struggle, In Jesus Name. GOD Bless you and I rejoice with you!!!
@@dannielleowens3397 I'm not refusing to give in. I am surrounded by it in my family. That's different. I know I'm in a battle. I've been fighting so many demons for over a year now. I've defeated a lot, but my family is entrapped by alcohol, and I cannot control them. When my own husband gives me license to not stay sober instead of holding me accountable, that's a different type of battle. When everyone I love is trapped by alcoholism or inebriation of sone sort, its deeper than myself. I'm warring against their demons in my prayer closet too. Please don't accuse others when you don't know what they are going through. I've surrendered everything I've got to God, but it doesn't mean it's easy. You do not know me ma'am. Assuming can come across as rude... when we in the Body are here to lift up others in the Body during their battles.
Amen, I don't drink liquor or anything like it, so this message, will not upset me, and thank God for being sober, for a lot of years now, and still going.
I'm so glad that you are speaking about this because my husband thinks because Jesus drank wine it's right for him drink beer and he's drinks 24oz beer 3 or of them and he thinks that he doesn't have a problem drinking sometimes 3 times a week and I feel he's has a problem drinking
Isaiah 5:11 - Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
Hey, did Marcus take down his Matt Chandler videos? Did he say why?
Spent a year praying to GOD to remove the curse of alcohol out of my life. When I got on my knees and prayed with my face to the floor I woke up with a new feeling and I haven't drank any alcohol since . 3 months on the 15th.
You are spot on brother Marcus. I have never drank any type of alcohol, beer, or wine in my life because I have never had a desire for it. There are many christians that I know drink and drink the hard stuff, because they post it on Facebook. I have never agreed with that. I would say the same thing, if you have the Holy Spirit in you, you don't need it.
Yeshua drank wine, but he was no drunkard , He also ate food but he was no Lizzo, over consumption of any kind is the sin. Our bodies are out temples, moderation is the key in all areas; body ,spirit, mind and soul.
Not true. I ask Jesus about the wine at wedding and He told me that it was grape juice, not fermented wine.
Ask The Holy Spirit to give you the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding about the wine. Then you will no for yourself. Amen
What Lizzo got to do with it?
Couldn’t you make a comment without slandering anyone?
You can drink but not be drunkards! This is New Testament in Romans. ALL things are legal to do unless it causes your brother to stumble. Also if you feel convicted then it is sin for you! And this is coming from someone that doesn’t drink. I’m not sure why Marcus says he won’t be mad at us if we drink. He has no right to judge anyone.
Very Good way to look at it . I stopped drinking mid drink in 2017 I just didn't want it and haven't drank since ....GOD said it wasn't for me. I drink my virgin drinks smoothies.and shakes I enjoy them much more :) no spirits and great taste and plenty of fruit.
I didn't hear any judgment in this video.
Rodger’s you always come at the right time. I stop smoking last year because it was a goal of mine, I started back this yr because of New Years celebration and bang I’m back on it this year. Your also right about everything you said too, imma make it another goal of mine and too stop completely
Thank you, Brother Marcus for clarity on this subject! Good Word! God Bless you!
I’m not a drinker. I have had a glass of wine or two over the years at weddings or other events. But I must say I disagree about the strength of alcohol today.
In todays age the government regulates the strength of alcohol. I use to work in a prison and inmates use to make what they called “hooch”, now that unregulated alcohol will knock you out with one shot! That’s why I find it hard to believe alcohol is weaker now. The process is fruit (sugar) and yeast, and that hasn’t changed much since biblical days, just now it’s regulated. But I do understand what you’re saying about Christians representing the Kingdom soberly.
And let’s not forget that Paul told Timothy to drink wine. 1Tim 5:23. My doctor actually to me to drink a glass of red wine a night for my iron deficiency. But I just don’t like it. The point is, God has blessed us with everything to be a good Steward and not to abused his blessings.
Perfect! I was told that it would take 70 shots of wine in Jesus day to equal 1 today.. Just what i heard. Also, liquor use to be referred to as "Spirits".. It opens portals guys
They aren't ready to face the demonic man, it breaks my heart. They won't let go of their drinks and their pride. I had to be humbled before I was willing to as well, so I can't say much, but it's rough even in this church these days.
From a former wine drinker: I don’t know why people think that drinking wine isn’t a problem bcs you get just as lit off of wine too. The wine today isn’t like the wine back in Jesus’ day, I truly believe that. I stopped because it wasn’t going to be good for me and God’s relationship if I hadn’t.
If you wanna walk with the Lord faithfully stay away from alcohol.. some people say I only drink a glass of wine everyday, I always argue that one day you will drink 2, 3, whole bottle when you had a bad day or pissed at somebody, the devil always finds a way to trap the children of God.. it’s better not to open that door at all..🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ some people can’t handle alcohol.. it’s better to be sober at all times to be filled with the Spirit of God which is the best than anything in the world 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I gave up drinking, smoking, cursing, watching horror movies etc because I felt that the holy spirit could not live in me ...
Now I didnt do it all at once, but I felt the conviction to let go of the worldly things, even secular music I dont listen too... I want to bear the fruits of the spirit.
Literally everything I've given up or working on. Thanks for sharing. This really helped.🙏🏾
I’m 53 & still struggling to let go. I have a grandchild & I want to be the best grandma ever. I don’t desire to go to clubs & always felt I never fit in anyway. But I’m still watching horror movies. It’s a challenge . I pray all the time.🙏🏽
Blessings 🙏🏽🌺
I have a glass of wine with dinner or a beer at a bbq. I don’t feel convictions. I definitely don’t agree with being drunk or over drinking or abusing it in any way. That’s sin for sure.
I used to be an alcoholic and when I was going through stuff I drank bottles of vodka every night and became very addicted to it.
Also food when I got worried I would eat in access but now I've turned back to Christ 2002 The Lord healed me if the addiction and instead of being addicted I enjoy a glass of wine with my food now and again and when I visit family to celebrate a festival or an occasion.
I enjoy the wine not abuse it.
That's the thing.
Jesus drank wine and turned water into wine and we remember his life crucifixion and the work of the cross with bread and wine.. Satan turns everything he can I to a sin with addictions and over indulgence .
When I get stressed I can pray to the Lord read hiswird.
Most of the time I'd sooner drink tea or coffee or water.
God's healing took the desire away and the addiction.
Confirmation!!!! 1 year and a few weeks sober, and I thank God he has sustained me and I pray daily that he keeps me!! He called me to a place of sober minded, but being sober minded is much deeper than drinking, it’s to have peace of mind, and to think clearly and you cannot do that with something altering your mind!
Once you keep remain in it, its very hard to get out of it and that goes for any drug that alters the mind. This wine and many of these stores are called Spirits and wine, etc....Spirits are in them; yet we are calles be sober minded. I thank God he pulled me and my husband out of this spiraling hell, we prayed our way out, removed ourselves from influences of others and places that temped us. God can and will deliver anyone who make him their dependent and trust. Praise HIM!
Who is going to talk about gluttony and overeating?! I think a lot of us christians are being hypocritical in saying to stay away from drinking alcohol and smoking but let's not pretend that the dopamine from the sugar in all this junk food we eating not giving us some sort of high. I would argue that even junk food has the potential to be just as addictive and harmful to your body as some drugs or alcohol,so we just don't need to limit that verse about staying alert and sober minded to just drugs and alcohol,it can most definitely other permissable things we tend to run to when we should be running to the holy spirit for that satisfaction we're craving.
Food doesn’t get you high. Some of you reach so damn much lmao. Yeah gluttony is a sin but let’s be real it don’t make you lit.
Why would you want to drink if you have the Holy Spirit
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN 💯 🙏 🙌 👏 ❤️ ☺️
Exactly! A lot of these people don’t have the Holy Spirit within them. Once you get filled with the Spirit of God, you no longer have a desire for sins. I do not consider myself as a Christian; that’s just a title. I’m a follower of Christ, a doer of his word. I am a believer. Roman 8:13-19 All who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God."
@@kellicollins4011 this is such a silly statement to make and it makes no sense. I love God with all of my heart and I am filled with the Holy Spirit and I drink wine or a good mixer in moderation. I don’t get drunk because it’s not right plus I don’t like the feeling. I do it in moderation mainly when I’m home or at a special event. I know my limits and it doesn’t take away from who I am as a Christian. If you choose to no longer drink that’s fine but don’t make it seem like people who do drink wisely aren’t truly filled with the Holy Spirit because that is false. Having a glass of wine is ok being a drunk is not, there is a difference.
@@Reign-zi9qh Exactly! Why do people eat their favorite snacks if they have the Holy Spirit? You can love God and eat chocolate/drink wine..in moderation
@@FredaL7 right! That’s just like telling someone they can’t eat anything because gluttony is a sin. Lol people don’t understand how ridiculous they sound. You can’t say something isn’t a sin but then try to convict someone for doing it. The religious spirit is very dangerous to the body of Christ because it’s so misleading.
Solid advice brother stay strong in the Lord🙏🙏🙏

Good message and very timely. We,as believers, are to be set apart-not "dropping it like it's hot",blaming it on the Hennessey, and not having friends with benefits. We are the light of the world. Light cloaked in darkness is darkness- they do not coexist.

We’re even supposed to be careful with meat according to Paul, so we don’t stumble(under the influence) but I do believe that fine wine is ok if you know how to limit !
Where did you read that alcohol is 30% stronger today than in the first century?
The alcohol of today is lab made. The one from the Bible is from grapes and naturally fermented. Natural fermentation doesn't have more than 0.5%
@@mq8543 ya that’s not what if found. Most scholars I’ve read estimate it was between 10-15% after 15% the yeast naturally dies. Although it was watered down but it was still higher than .5
Amen glory to jesus, how could i not see this before. Im glad he fully saved me this year.

Be sober minded. A buzz silences the voice of the Holy Spirit.
You can have a drink of wine or strong drink. It is biblical. Obviously if a glass gots you acting goofy then don't drink at all. But let's keep it real how many us are straight after one glass or whatever? Plus all through out the bible a drink of wine or strong drink was ok. God says not to be a wine bibber. 🙄 the word is plain and simple to understand. Not everything in the word is some parable or difficult to understand.
And just so we are clear. I don't drink.
@@standingvertical3048 now pull up bible scripture. Cause I just got done reading a few days ago in Judges 13 when an angel came to Samsons mom and told her that she was pregnant with baby and warned her not to drink no more wine 1, strong drink 2, neither eat any unclean thing 3 due to her being pregnant. And what God showed over this topic is that having a drink is ok. I'm not saying anything else so do not add or take away to what I said. We don't need to drink but Lord knows a drink can take the edge off of the hardness that come with living life. Even in revelations 6 somewhere God says to his angels not to destroy the oil and wine. Now why would God say that? Just ponder on that. But for me, God gave me the green light to have a drink if need be. So I don't judge. Plus if we have discernment we know who are just plain alcoholics. But even then don't judge. Just pray for those folks.
@@standingvertical3048 go read what? You replied to my comment saying "NO STRONG DRINK" and that's it.
@@lordswill168 thank you for your concern, I truly am at peace 🙂 my fervent love for the Lord ignites my fire for the truth. That's all. I'm always open for debate it's in my character. If I come off aggressive then I apologize. ❤️🔥
@@standingvertical3048 what in the world does Matthew 26:29 got to do with what I said? All I am saying is that having a drink of wine or strong drink is biblical. God says be sober MINDED not sober.
Right to the point! Scripture backs it up. Well said.
This is a powerful message Marcus, all truth. I’m so grateful I’m sober now. I use to smoke & I thought I would never get delivered. I fasted & prayed & I asked the Lord to take the taste & desire away. I also put the prayer request in my church prayer box 3 times.
I don't drink alcohol or wine or anything but it's because I'd rather be safe than sorry. I don't want to grieve the Holy Spirit and am trying to live a Holy Life. This is my choice and thank God I don't even crave it but like you say Pastor God knows best.
I've seen a lot of family members drink and it just opens up demonic doors in their lives, only trouble and I don't want trouble in my life from demons lol better to run away from the devil and not keep him as a pet lol
Few years ago I almost died from a dui with a drunk driver. My SUV got totaled & my gf who I was with at the time got her spine broken, internal bleeding & a lot of other injuries (she’s fine now) but yea
2020 my sister died in a drunk driving accident. Her car, but she wasn't driving hit a tree and the driver survived. I'd like to say I stopped drinking that very day but I didn't. Fast forward 2 weeks ago I'm holding strong after giving up drinking and smoking. I pray daily for strength and to not fall into temptation. Had to cut few people off and others have been very supportive.
Amen🙏🏾 breaking generational curses in Jesus name.
God says be of a sober mind for the enemy awaits with its mouth open ready to devour.
Drunkenness is sin Jesus turned water into wine. 🍷
But he didn't force anyone to drink , they did it by choice 💯
Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.
This man always bringing the truth!!! I love it!! If we gone serve God why we always gotta dibble and dabble in the world.. why we gotta make excuses to do what we wanna do .. if u gone serve God .. let him
Transform u , u fall in love with him and serve him to the fullest.. he deserves it.. he deserves all of ua
I am the person who used to smoke weed and get drunk on a regular basis but when the Holy Spirit convicted me of using other things to bring me peace and happiness I instantly stopped. I thank the Lord for opening my eyes and my heart to His will and giving me the desire to want to continually please Him and not the flesh.
Sober from everything!
I've always been a 1-2 drink man. 3 max if I'm letting loose. And only on holidays, get togethers etc. I could make a whole pack of 30 beers last the whole year. And the funny thing is, I think I get to enjoy that 1 drink more then the people who get trashed and say they have a great time. I never even get the urge to drink, but when I do it's enjoyable. I think this is the only way to go about it. Just like cake, it's enjoyable when you have it once in a blue moon. Like imagine eating cake every week or more ... how is that special and fun lol sounds gross and unhealthy
Love these topics...yes God also doesn't want us to be controlled by stuff. He wants us to rely on Him to bring peace and comfort.
Marcus Rogers you're so right what you saying. I was bound by alcohol for years and bad behaviors behind it when i was so drunk. But when I called upon the Lord to deliver me from he did he even took the taste of alcohol out of me, and i had no withdrawals. That was around 2013 when the Lord delivered me from alcohol and it's now 2022 and I'm still free from alcohol and hate it. Thank you Jesus! People Jesus Christ can deliver you from and addictions you're bond with, so please give him a try by asking him to deliver you. Please!!!
I feel the holy Spirit condemning me if I would drink alcohol. I feel like it's a door you're opening to the enemy. Of course that's my personal opinion.
I agree it’s a foothold
Same. This is the same reason why i don’t go to clubs, lounges, bars etc. it’s an open door for the enemy
Drinking or not drinking is definitely a personal choice. If you struggled with getting drunk and not being able to stay sober, it’s not wise to drink unless you have self-control.
If you’re a Christian who enjoys a drink and you don’t struggle with drunkenness, it shouldn’t be an issue. If you tempted to grab one glass after another and always end up drunk, it might not be a good idea to drink period.
I wouldn’t recommend drinking any of the super strong stuff like Marcus said just because that can be a downward spiral lol. But if you wanna have a glass of wine, cocktail, margarita, or something light, and you out to dinner, I don’t think that’s a problem. (Depends on size, weight, tolerance). Drinks can be fun to try at restaurants and in different cities if you know how to stay sober and avoid the sin of it.
I used to not desire to drink when I was in college, and didn’t drink when I turned 21, but as I got further into my 20s, got married, and started embracing my adulthood more, I tried it and learned to like it in a healthy way.
Doing it responsibly was natural because I was already mature mentally & I was prepared to learn my own boundaries/limits. It takes some tolerance building, but if you want to drink, wisdom is the principle behind this. And if you feel convicted and choose not to do it, that can be a good route too.
i was delivered from alcoholism where i would take 5 tequila shots just to start the night 4-5x a week. God delivered me fully and now when i even have 1 glass of wine with dinner im done after or don’t even want it after a sip. I had a glass yesterday because a friend is in town and they wanted to keep drinking and i didn’t. then i see this video and God is speaking to me “so God only convicts some people?” a potion that alters your mind wow! truth. praise the Lord
I love hearing the truth and I didn’t get offended at all just something’s to think about thank you Marcus I will think more about it
I only drink a nice glass of wine with a meal, weddings, or special event occasions, and use wine as cooking recipe to make something. And there is nothing good about getting drunk. There is absolutely no reason for it. It’s nasty and causes all kinds of problems. I don’t get why people have to drink to get drunk. I watched my alcoholic mother succumb to alcoholism and few family members die from alcohol poisoning. No reason for this period!

Deuteronomy 14:26
New King James Version
26 And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household
Wine and STRONG Drink ? What is that ?
Other versions
New Living Translation
When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want-cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household.
English Standard Version
and spend the money for whatever you desire-oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.
Wow you said exactly what my testimony is
I Prayed and ask God to take the taste out of my mouth and he did, I was delivered and set free December 2,2022 was six years..and another thing I feel, like now this is my opinion,most people can't drink one, they want another and another until next thing you know you're drunk ..that was myself..so yes I feel like when it comes to this subject there is a lot of justifying..and I agree we have to work out our own Salvation with fear and trembling ..God Bless you brother Marcus and your family 🙏🙌🏻❤️
