Ephesians 5:18And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit.

When a person is drunk with an alcoholic beverage, they do and say anything without guilt, fear, or remorse because they’re controlled by a spirit. They don’t care what people may say or who’s around. All they know is that beverage took the limits off their thoughts, actions, and speech.

Well if a spirit in an alcoholic beverage can do all these things to a person, how much more can the Holy Spirit do when He is filled in us? When we’re controlled by the Holy Spirit, we should do and say the things He’s instructed us to do or say without guilt, fear, or remorse. People being controlled by the Holy Spirit shouldn’t care about what people may say or who’s around. All we know is we’re being controlled by the Holy Spirit who is leading us in the right direction for our benefit and for God’s glory.

So, take the limits off and allow yourselves to be controlled by the Holy Spirit to lead you in the right direction.
