i confess and am extremely hungover after blacking out last night. I had a terrible night after excessive drinking and started a fight with my family and ended up in a bad situation. This video is what I need right now. Thank you Jesus.

“Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.”

drinking itself is not, but when it is in excess and leads to drunkenness, that’s sin

It's like gluttony. You can consume it but don't overdo it.

Peter 5:8 King James Version 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

I lost a very important friend because of the way I was acting while drunk during a girls trip. I had to re evaluate my relationship with alcohol and felt convicted to stop. That’s when I discovered there was a lot of hurt and pain I was suppressing. God’s been restoring me ever since.

I don't drink anymore, but I have no problem with those who do. My friends, church family, and wife do, but I don't. Why? Because I can't control myself. There was a time when I drank, and I just wanted more and more, and let's just say I got myself in lots of trouble. Thankfully, God got me out of it. And ever since then, I never drank again ( 2 yesrs sober), and I've never gone back, and I love it. Thank you, Jesus

I was drinking every night starting in 2021. I told everyone it was for sleeping. In my heart I knew i wanted to drink. My health started going down. I finally gave it to the Lord and stopped a few months ago. I thought I’ll not get much sleep and everything is going to hurt. Not so. I slept so good and it’s only getting better. My health is much better. My relationship with the Lord is much closer and I am so grateful to the Lord for helping me. We take the first step towards what it is we are asking the Lord for and He walks us the rest of the way. ❤

I never drink to excess and usually just drink a little wine to go to sleep faster, but I feel ashamed to pray or read God's Word if I have had a drink. Also, I feel convicted when I buy alcohol because I am hesitant to share my faith with the person who sold it to me because I might confuse them. I needed this message.

9:45 HACKSAW RIDGE!!! YO!! 😱 That movie got me to realize, God is the only help you need in warfare, no gun, no knife, no weapons, Only God can do it all through Faith. 😇

It doesn’t matter if I’m “allowed” to drink or not, I’m not going to. I lost both my grandparents (not dead but just completely unrecognizable drunks) to it, and I’m not going to go down the road I’ve seen so many people fall victim to. I know very well I wouldn’t have the willpower to stop myself from drinking if it got to a not so great point. I encourage all of you who haven’t had a drink before and are thinking about it, just don’t. You’re not missing out on anything, and your life will be just a little bit better, as to the contrast of it becoming a whole lot worse. (Either way, whatever choice you make, Jesus still loves you)

I plead Romans 14. If drunkenness is a sin, I will avoid its cause.

Alcohol absolutely destroyed my life, and it took years to come back from it. I say stay away, but some people are definitely more susceptible to addiction than others.

I have just discovered your channel about a week ago, and I had to write to tell you what a blessing it has been for me and my family. I also watched your face reveal video recently and how difficult it has been to maintain the channel and content. I am praying for you and your team to have the provision you need to continue to produce content like this, even if it's not as often. The value in your videos and the messages you produce are priceless. My wife and I have three teenage children that I have been exposing to your videos and they are absolutely perfect for them! I can't express how much of a perfect fit your content has been for all of us. My wife and I have been Christian for a long time and our children are Christian as well, but we all need the Gospel presented in ways that stirs our spirits and speaks to us through the Holy Spirit, such as your content. I will be donating regularly to your ministry here online, and even though it's not much, I pray that it provides a larger impact into the needs and provisions required to help you in your ministry. Praying for you and your team to be blessed and look forward to the next video, even if you need a little more time going forward. :)

Your videos are soo awesome!! Thank you!! I don't drink as well. It took a while to realize that I don't drink for the taste, but the feeling. The more I would drink the better I felt. Afterwards the issues I had would still be there though. When I stopped I realized that even on my toughest days, with Jesus in my life, I could make it through without a drop of liquor. I could face my issues head on with a clear and peaceful mind. Thanks again!!

i have absolutely no intention of ever drinking alcohol, except maybe as communion wine. dude, your videos are AWESOME!

Also as an alcoholic myself, I used to do what he is talking about in the end , which is forcing my own true beliefs and convictions over alcohol down other people’s throats. I used to believe that it was a sin to drink period and I used to try to tell people that were of legal age (I’m not . I am 19 and became an alcoholic at 16 after I’d been through so much trauma ; my Mawmaw had passed away and I drank in order to cope with it.) that they couldn’t drink and that they were hurting their bodies and weren’t a real Christian if they did this . Now I know from this video that it’s not true that drinking is a sin . I used to get so triggered if people who were of legal age drank around me but now I do not mind as long as they are not forcing it on me. Just because God wants me to not drink alcohol doesn’t mean that is the case for other people. We are all different and they may be able to control their alcohol consumption. I cannot and that’s why I don’t drink .

The timing of this video is crazy! I live in Canada where the drinking age is +19, me and my christian brothers are turning this age this year and this is something we have been talking about recently. It is what i needed to hear and i will be sharing it with the others. Thanks and God bless!

I was wondering about this a lot recently. I turned 18 in may and that is the legal drinking age here in the UK. I have my school leavers' ball/ prom at the end of the month. There will be a bar and I want to be careful. I will prob drink but I will follow all these instructions! Thank you for this video!

I don't know why I clicked on this video because I'm 15, obviously I don't drink. However, I'm so glad I clicked on it because the personal convictions part rlly blew my mind. I have always been really confused about that part of the BIble, and you opened my eyes. Thank you so much Impact for your amazing videos every Saturday, it's like you pack a sermon's-worth of Biblical teaching into a fun, engaging, (and cute!) 10-minute video.

Your videos have been very helpful for my walk with Christ and how to synthesize scriptures together. You’re doing a great job, keeping spreading God’s word and leading people to Jesus!

I think a sin can be anything you put above God. If I drink it is not a sin because it is just 1 here or there, but to an alcoholic it is always a sin, because that takes over and the person puts it above God. I used to smoke a pack a day, it took over my whole day, i would schedule things around finding a time to stop and smoke, yet some people would have 1 or 2 socially on the weekend, and it not really be an issue. I think with this definition of sin, most any thing such as watching TV, social media, video games, watching sports, shopping, even something like eating, can be a sin if you take it to the point that you start putting it before God and it starts running your life

What a fantastic video. Great explanation

Thank you for the information

I'm a Christian. Praise God! I drink beer, and sometimes wine. I usually only have a drink while I eat dinner occasionally. The only other times are during joyous celebrations, i.e., wedding, anniversary, birth, etc. Never more than a couple of beers or a couple of glasses. Jesus himself created wine. Though, this video opened my eyes to more considerations for the future. Thank you for this video!

Thank you so much for educating me with this video!

Love this & how it is explained. I also don’t drink, but love how you use verses to support what your sharing.

I love you man you have truly answered many of my questions as a Christian THANK YOU!!!! I’m very grateful for God making such a wonderful human being :) God bless you

VERY well written. One of the best teachings I’ve seen on this topic in a very long time. Side note. I find it interesting that violating your conscience can bring condemnation on you. Why? Because it comes from faith. Of course learning and growth can change this. Nice background music!

Thanks for the advice IVM

Wow what a great summary and explanation!

Such beneficial information.

Thanks for sharing this video!!

This is amazing because this goes beyond alcohol this is helping me understand that how I grew up someone else’s personal conviction w many things were forced on the church. Like wearing pants or make up or jewelry. Thank you so much for always enlightening us!

Thanks for this. been thinking about this topic for quite some time now, so glad that you and your team made this💜

I was literally looking this topic up on your channel a week ago or so~

The timing of this video is good. Very helpful information. God bless.

Love this channel!!!

Your friends are amazing for communicating with you!! This video is amazing Thank you 😊🙏🏾 All Praise goes to God!

Thanks for giving me more thoughts about this issue. It is more complex than I thought

Thank you for this content. I couldn't help but share this with my beloved church. I felt like it may help someone in or someone connected to our church. The line that jumped at me (paraphrased), "Choose the Well-being of other Christians, over my Freedom in Christ". In other words, do not 🚫 trip up other Christians that may have different convictions from our Holy Spirit. That is so powerful in love.

This is very thought-provoking. Thank you!

Honestly this was the perfect way to present a topic of discussion. I wouldn't have presented it any better. Great job! Please don't stop presenting other topics in such fashion. You hit it right on the mark. I have heard other people presenting topics such as alcohol and I wouldn't say they missed it but rather lagging in certain areas or could have presented it in a better way. Where as you sir flew by that with no problem like it came naturally for you.

This video is excellent the way you explained all!

Amen thank you for the video 🙏 God bless you 😇🙏❤

You explained this so good. I thank God for this video.❤

Thank you for this video it helped a lot

If it is possible can you make a video about "Can Christians dance?" because I've seen many around me also who say no no no you should not dance like AT ALL I love your videos so much! the animations are so cute and the scriptures that are picked to answer the question are very well explained throughout the video!!! thank you so much for making them 💗

Thank you for the video, this gives me so much comfort to know how to be a responsible Christian♥

Incredibly put together. It was loving while teaching through scripture. God bless!

Thank you for this video; I turn 21 on Thursday and everything in this video came up in my conversations with the Lord, as well as with people in my life. Thank you Lord!

Amazing and helpful video bro. Keep up the great work! ❤️

I am an Adventist and we don't drink at all. But I really liked this video and your answers. Thank you brother❤

Straight edge for the win. God bless!

Amen! You definitely have the gift of wisdom and teaching. Amen!🙏 ❤

Excellent explanation, and i agree 💯

Well explained. Good job.

I love your videos! God bless you and your team!

Awesome video! Very informative. Could you elaborate in a video on convictions in a separate video at some point? I’d love hear your take on the topic. I have to say, I definitely agree with what opinions you gave on the topic in Point #6. I feel there is a lot to go over with this topic such as concerns of legality, conviction vs condemnation, and other things. I’ve seen a lot of Christians to grapple with their convictions and others calling said convictions “legalistic” or “nonsensical”. I’ve seen so many people battle with this topic in their walk.

Thank you for this video! Especially about self conviction! It opened my eyes on why it never feels right for me to cuss. New self knowledge - unlocked!

ohhh Impact I watched the face and voice reveal video and I awaited this video for a long while, thank God I'm early for it, thanks for releasing it

Thank you for this, I will show this to a person ik who gets drunk

Amen! I'm 19 (legal drinking age in Saskatchewan, Canada), and I know my drinking limits. I can detect my body's signals when I'm starting to get buzzed, so I take breaks to rest, eat, and/or drink soft drinks to sober up before drinking more alcohol. I've heard horrible stories and saw sad videos of people drunk driving. I only have alcohol as a tasty drink and social drink, not to try to benefit from the alcohol itself. I was eating pizza pops and having a fireball and raspberry bubly cocktail when I was going through my subscribed channels list and tapped on this video. Thanks!

Thanks for this video bro, it was well done!

Very good video, hugs from Brazil!

These videos are Stronghold breaking and Life Changing!

Good Explanation!

Great video that is on point with the word of God.

I think you mentioned an issue that many christians struggle to understand and explain👍🏽

Great video!

Thank u! Helps a lot! ❤

Good work, stay pure. God loves u

Thank you brother.

I drink alcohol but rarely. But if in my head I am having a moment/bad day, etc…. If I am telling my self I want a drink I don’t because then I am just using it as a coping mechanism

This is a great video!

Thanks man

Jesus loves you❤❤

this is a really good video, i’ve been questioning and looking into this myself and came up with the same answers. I would recommend doing a video with weed as well. I know someone that smokes weed “for fun” but does it often.

I pray for God to give you guys more grace impact ministry. The work you are doing for God is so great. I have turned into the legal age of drinking and though i decided not to drink, i fell into a compromising situation which make me to drink, on 1 side i had the medical knowledge who assured i was right , but on the other i felt guilty for disrespecting my own decision not to drink😢,❤❤ ❤but glory to God, now my guilt is gone, I 😊 know that drinking is not a sin and it even has medical benefits when it isn't be abused. So my new decision is not to drink except if it is for the good of my health. 😊

Perfectly said!

Thank you, All glory to God.

Speaking of thought no. 4, I remember a drunk driving incident in my own country from 3 years ago where the driver lost control of his BMW mini coupe due to excess alcohol and he drove at a speed of more than 100 km/h on a road of shophouses. The car crashed into a shophouse door and went up in flames. All four people in the vehicle including the driver were killed. The driver’s girlfriend even rushed to the scene to rescue him and got burned herself; She got seriously injured from the flames but did not die 😢. This is why you must never drive when you are drunk

Perfect message! Big controversy topic.

U make very good learning videos

Your videos are so amazing ❤🙏🏼Thank you for answering your call from CHRIST and letting HIM use you as a vessel to help bring more ppl to HIS Kingdom and to Glorify HIS Name 🙌🏼❤️‍🔥

This is a really good video!

Thank you for the vedio it helped me understand what the Bible says about drinking alcohol

Love this❤

I learned so much from this video ❤❤❤❤

Thank You❤️

Another great one ✝️🤓👍

I never had a problem with alcohol. I quit drinking it years ago however, I do know that some can have medicinal uses. A common drink for a sore throat, cold, etc. is a strong proof alcohol, honey, and some type of tea. I have a small stash but like many don't feel the need or want to drink it.

I’m thankful for your videos, and the use of scripture. If possible could you cover how to not be lukewarm or how to know if you are lukewarm?

Now, this is the real education I am having right now, regarding to Alcohol.

HEY MAN! your videos have helped me so many times and I really love your content sorry it’s not that much but here ❤

Thank you for clearing this up I was raised in a church that is very controlling in what you do in your personal life drinking being one of them and a lot of other things that I felt you shouldn't be punished for. thank you.😅 sorry I had to edit to add one thing and one thing that I've always felt is God wants you to follow him but he also knows the best way for us to learn is through our own trivial Conquest in life.

Turn to 18 and now that I am an adult your videos have been extremely useful for me to improve as a believer and to inform myself better. Greetings from Colombia, thank you so much brothers and remember that Jesus loves you

Thabk you for this video. As a 20 year old in the US that will be of legal age soon, I'm think about this somtimes.

this video makes perfect sense, because i dont like seeing the people that i cared about getting drunk to much, your actally right so amen for this video👍🙏

Well said and true .
