“Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it giveth his colour in the cup, When it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder.”
Proverbs 23:31-32 KJV
Wisdom from above says, “And don’t be drunk with wine but be known as one who enjoys the company of the lovers of God, for drunkenness brings the sting of a serpent, like the fangs of a viper spreading poison into your soul.” Meditate on righteousness as one who is passionate about God rather than getting into an addiction. The Hebrew for “horned serpent” or “dragon” is basilisk which root word means “little king”. This is the poison of demonic power that can cause addictions and rule over the soul like a “little king”. But for those who have chosen to believe in Jesus Christ and to follow Him wholeheartedly, He says, “Now you understand that I have imparted to you My authority to trample over satan’s kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority.” Great is the power Jesus has given the Church to be His authority on earth in the Kingdom of God. Amen!
