Be sober

Western society is constantly intoxicated. It has become acceptable to be addicted to drugs, prescription drugs, tobacco, alcohol, sex, immorality, TV, video games, shopping sprees and all kinds of vices. People are addicted to pleasures and lusts of the flesh. An insatiable lust for pleasure and a desire to escape reality justifies their deviation. The wicked “science” of psychology has become the vehicle to motivate and guard the snares of Satan.

The snares of Satan also entangle the majority of Christians. They are as bound and intoxicated as the rest of the world. Christianity has made an alliance with the devil. They call it pastoral psychology. Instead of rejecting sin and casting the demons out they have turned it into an occupation, justifying sin, immorality and bondage.

You cannot follow Jesus and be bound by any vices or dependencies. You need a sober mind. Either you are free, a son of God or bound, a son of the devil. If the Son of God has set you free, you will be free indeed.

Jesus Christ calls us to sobriety. He sets the captives free and guides them into the freedom of the sons of God. Those who follow Jesus are sober and willfully follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. An intoxicated mind cannot exercise faith and will not follow Jesus. Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

The only way to become sober is to take a stand, repent, turn away from sin, vices and ask Jesus to set you free. Without repentance there is no redemption.
Whosoever shall call on the Lord shall be saved and delivered from bondage unto the freedom of the sons of God.
