Drunk in the Spirit

[votivesoul]

I've never been drunk on alcohol, not once. I have no experience at all to compare.

But in all my experiences in the presence of God, I never once, as intense as some have been, ever felt "drunk", as if to imply I had lost control of my faculties.

In fact, I find the deeper into God's presence I go, the more focused, intent, and sober I become. I disappear, as it were, from the world around me, sometimes as if in a trance. As God draws me in, the clarity increases. Utter silence, utter stillness.

These are the peaks experiences of my life.
