Crazy or Drunk?

Back from the youth leaders retreat and I’m still feeling a little tired. Ever since the first David Herzog meeting, I have found myself not only being drunk more often. Yes drunk, not on alcohol but drunk with the Holy Spirit. Well in a sense you can’t really blame me for wanting to get drunk with the Holy Spirit, firstly there is such unspeakable joy that comes with it. Secondly, you become extremely bold in doing what God wants. Such boldness is present because when I’m drunk with the Holy Ghost, I don’t really get bothered with what others would say, I’m just bothered with what God is saying. Thirdly, I become much more heaven minded. And one of the best of all reasons is that, there is no such thing as hangovers! Hahaha.  

Anyway during the first night of the leaders retreat, I found that I couldn’t really get to sleep. I wanted to sleep so much but I just couldn’t. So I decided to plug into some music in my mp3 to help me sleep. But instead of being soothed to sleep, I ended up feeling the strong presence of God. That’s where I knew that the Holy Spirit wanted me to do something. So I got up and went to the porch of the church. There I worshiped Him and prayed. When the Glory fell on me, I thought that the purpose of the Spirit’s awakening was about over. However, it was just the beginning. Next thing I knew, He soon led me to walk out of the church and I did. I didn’t know where He was leading me to but I just walked anyway. I was soon lead to the top of Kent Ridge park and over there I started to make prophetic declarations. Yes I did shout out. I was so compelled to pray for the revival that is going to hit Singapore and I was even calling arch angles to enter Singapore. Some of the words I was praying I didn’t even understand much, but I spoke them because the Holy Spirit told me too. Did some prophetic acts, one of which was placing my hand on a cannon and said “ In Jesus name, Boom Boom Boom!” Others were going to palace my hand on stores around our area, and declaring a close on those which were part of satan’s kingdom. One of the acts I remember was standing in the front gate of the Mormon Church near our Church, and commanding it to crumble down. After the whole prayer meeting, I was really tired, but I knew that the foundations of the earth have been shaken. I also came to understand why the spirit lead me to pray at such hour, it is because if these acts were done in the morning, I would be facing a lot more difficulties doing them because people would be awake to watch them. And I don’t think a store owner will particularly be happy with me calling their store to come to a close in Jesus name. 

During the morning session on the second day, we were all told to pray for each other. I prayed for J.S and prophesied to her and gave direction from the lord. As I prayed she shared with me a vision she saw of me. She saw that I was in robes like that of Jesus, but I had a circle of fire around me. Then the lord gave me the interpretation, the fire meant a glory radius and that it will burn up forces of evil but ignite passions of those of God.

Oh usually when I get drunk with the Holy spirit, what comes with it will be Holy Laughter, though I can tell some are looking at me with a “ I think he is crazy” look, I don’t really care at all. God has revealed to me that ever since the first David Herzog meeting, he has given me an access to drink and get drunk with joy, whenever I feel down. Thank you Lord! Sometimes I’ll still drink because, well it feels so good! Hahaha. So back to the question, am I crazy or drunk? I’m both, Haha. Technically, I’m drunk then that’s why I seem a little crazy to some boring people. Cool ones knows how to join in the fun. Haha. Or at least just enjoy watching. I’m a fool for Christ! Ok I shall quote scripture to those of you who may be wondering if this drunk in the Holy Spirit thing is from God.


From the chapter of ACTS 2:
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs-we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!" Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?"

 Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine."

Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 

" 'In the last days, God says, 
  I will pour out my Spirit on all people. 
  Your sons and daughters will prophesy, 
  your young men will see visions, 
  your old men will dream dreams. 
 Even on my servants, both men and women, 
  I will pour out my Spirit in those days, 
  and they will prophesy. 
 I will show wonders in the heaven above 
  and signs on the earth below, 
  blood and fire and billows of smoke. 
 The sun will be turned to darkness 
  and the moon to blood 
  before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 
And everyone who calls 
  on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

 "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. David said about him:

 " 'I saw the Lord always before me. 
  Because he is at my right hand, 
  I will not be shaken. 
 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; 
  my body also will live in hope, 
 because you will not abandon me to the grave, 
  nor will you let your Holy One see decay. 
 You have made known to me the paths of life; 
  you will fill me with joy in your presence.'



From Ephesians 5:18
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

Even though I still enjoy the taste of wine, but I only let the spirit get me drunk. BE filled with the right spirit!
