One of the fruit of the Spirit is temperance (self control). Excess is to be avoided in all things but especially in those things which cloud our minds and subject us to Satan`s influence. <p> Being drunk is being under the influence. Being sober is being clear headed. Alcohol and drugs are not the only things that can bring one under the influence of Satan, <p>The MysteryOfGod, the MysteryOfChrist is accomplished as we are filled with the HolySpirit and serve Christ in His power<p>The HolySpirit <b>IS</b> EternalLife.  Receiving Him is receiving EternalLife.  Apart from Him there is only death.<p>When Jesus talked about giving us life and life more abundantly, He was talking about giving us His HolySpirit Joh 10:10.
