IN ANOTHER AREA, THIS MAN FELL AWAY FROM GOD BY THINKING HE WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING. WHEN HE BECAME A CHRISTIAN HE HAD STOPPED DRINKING. THIS MAN TOLD ME HE STARTED DRINKING AGAIN TO WIN HIS FRIENDS FOR CHRIST. GOD HAD ME TO EXPLAIN ABOUT DRINKING AND THE BODY BEING A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE HAD ME GO FURTHER INTO HELPING HIM UNDERSTAND THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS OF LOVE AND ANYTHING ELSE IS NOT OF GOD. TO NOT DRINK OR SMOKE IS A LOVING ATTITUDE AS THESE ITEMS LEAD TO SELF-DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS. IE. HOLES ON YOUR CLOTHES FROM CIGARETTE ASHES, BAD BREATH FROM THE TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL, DUI TICKETS, CANCER, SCIRIOSIS OF THE LIVER,... GOD HAD ME HELP HIM TO UNMDERSTAND THE VOICE SPOKEN TO HIM STATING IT WAS OKAY TO START DRINKING AGAIN WAS NOT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. MY CLOSING STATEMENT: WHY WOULD GOD HAVE YOU GO BACK TO A SIN YOU HAD GOTTEN OVER. WHY WOULD GOD HAVE YOU GO BACK TO SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE UNDER ITS' CONTROL? GETTING THE VICTORY OVER DRINKING WOULD BE A WONDERFUL TESTIMONY TO HELP YOUR FRIENDS STOP DRINKING. THIS INCIDENT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHRISTIAN HEARS A VOICE AND GOES FORWARD ON THE ONE LEADING.
