Drunkenness and revellings cause enslavement and loss of control!
The Greek word methe means: strong drink or drunkenness or the consumption of wine for the sake of intoxication.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5:
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings (resulting in murders), drunkenness (methe), revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
When you are drunk, you remove all constraints limiting the flesh. Nothing is off limits once you lose control. You lose your ability to think rationally which leads to devastating effects.
Paul warned us as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:
18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation (reckless living); but be filled with the Spirit,
If you drink in excess, you lose your ability to save or spare yourself in adverse situations, you have lost control of your faculties. You think irrationally, act irresponsibly, and commit acts of excess that normally would not even be a temptation. Under the influence of alcohol, you waste your life, squander your money, and you desecrate your body ultimately resulting in destruction.
The word komos is translated as revellings, a nocturnal and riotous procession of half drunken and frolicsome fellows who after supper parade through the streets with torches and music in honor of Bacchus or some other deity, and sing and play before houses of male and female friends; hence used generally of feasts and drinking parties that are protracted till late at night and indulge in revelry. (Sounds like Mardi Gras to me)
Peter also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 4:
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the Will of God.
3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles-when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.
4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.
In other words, they marvel that you no longer rush to join them in the excesses of their corrupt lifestyles, and so they vilify you.
Those who participate in revellings cannot bear the thought of boredom, so they continually seek for different forms of amusement and entertainment. Such a person is so afraid of being bored that he constantly contemplates what he can do next to be entertained. This person is consumed with fun, pleasure, and entertainment. He lives for the next movie, restaurant, and vacation. The issue is all about excess and what you focus on daily.
Wine, movies, restaurants, and vacation are not bad if you don’t center your life around them and pursue excess. The Holy Spirit will guide you in these areas if allowed. This is why Paul urged us to be filled with The Holy Spirit!
Paul warned us of such an environment at the end of the age when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth.
The flesh attempts to seek fun, to avoid responsibility, and to avoid the seriousness of life. If you let your flesh have its way, it will waste your time, your talent, waste your energy, and you will end up spending all your money for the temporary satisfaction of the flesh.
If we only look around, there is plenty to do without being bored. Let The Holy Spirit guide you in doing those needful things.
