إدمان الكحول هو روح مدمرة تسيطر على حياة الكثيرين. كثير من الناس, بما في ذلك المسيحيين, مدمن على الكحول ويعيش في عبودية لقوة الكحول. لكن, no one wants to be labeled as an alcoholic. Therefore people deny they have a drinking problem, when others confront them with their excessive drinking. When do you have a drinking problem? What are the symptoms of alcoholism? If you can’t live a day without alcohol you’re an alcoholic. You’re controlled by a spirit of alcoholism that causes an alcohol addiction. Christians should wake up and read what the Bible says about alcohol and alcoholism. They should open their spiritual eyes and see what kind of destructive character alcohol contains. Alcohol isn’t a friend but an enemy! Alcohol doesn’t add anything to lives, but destroys people’s mind, جسم, والحياة. How can you be delivered from the power of alcohol (إدمان الكحول)?
Should Christians drink alcohol?
A frequently asked question is whether Christians are allowed to drink alcohol or not. What does the Bible say about drinking alcohol? When you discuss this subject with Christians, في كل مرة تقريبًا, the same three scriptures come up. وهي, that Jesus was being accused by the Pharisees and Sadducees of being a wine drinker (لوك 7:34), the wedding in Cana (جون 2:1-11), وتيموثي, who was instructed by Paul, to drink a little wine for his stomach and infirmities (1 تيموثي 5:25).
Christians use these scriptures to approve the drinking of wine and alcoholic beverages. But they don’t address the many other scriptures in the Bible about drinking wine and alcoholic beverages and the effects, يحب:
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise (الأمثال 20:1)
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. (لوك 21:34)
دعونا نسير بأمانة, كما في اليوم; لا في الشغب والسكر, لا في الحجرة والوحشية, لا في الخصام والحسد (رومان 13:13)
ولكن الآن كتبت إليكم أن لا تصاحبوا, إن كان أحد يدعى أخا يكون زانيا, أو طمعا, أو عابد الأصنام, أو رايلر, أو سكير, أو الابتزاز; مع مثل هذا لا تأكل (1 كورنثوس 5:11)
ولا لصوص, ولا طمعا, ولا السكارى, ولا الشتامون, ولا المبتزين, يرثون ملكوت الله (1 كورنثوس 6:10)
والآن ظهرت أعمال الجسد, ما هي هذه; الزنا, الزنا, النجاسة, شهوة, الوثنية, السحر, الكراهية, التباين, مضاهاة, غضب, الفتنة, الفتن, البدع, الحسد, جرائم القتل, السكر, الاحتفالات, ومثل هذا: مما أخبرك به من قبل, كما قلت لك أيضًا في الماضي, أن هم الذين يفعلون مثل هذه الأشياء لا يرثون ملكوت الله (غلاطية 5:19-21)
ولا تسكر بالخمر, فيها الزائدة; بل امتلأوا بالروح (افسس 5:18)
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, مُتّزِن, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, لا مهاجم, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) (1 تيموثي 3:2-5)
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre (1 تيموثي 3:8)
For a bishop must be blameless, كوكيل الله; not selfwilled, ليس غاضبا قريبا, لا تعطى للخمر, لا مهاجم, not given to filthy lucre; But a lover of hospitality, محباً لرجال الخير, مُتّزِن, فقط, مقدس, temperate; Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers (تيتوس 1:7-9)
لا, these scriptures are not mentioned. That’s because most Christians, مشتمل قادة الكنيسة, don’t want to obey these Scriptures. لا يريدون أن يقال لهم ماذا يفعلون, but they want to live in ‘freedom’.
They consider rules and regulations legalistic and legalism isn’t a good thing but causes religion. And religion is, وفقا لهم, a bad thing. بدلاً من, they make their own rules, so that they can live like the world in ‘freedom’ and drink whatever they want, without any restrictions (اقرأ أيضا: ‘الدين أو العلاقة?')
The reason why many Christians become apostate and worldly, is because many people, who call themselves Christians are not ولد مرة أخرى and are unspiritual. Because they are carnal and unspiritual, they are not able to discern the spirits and don’t see what kind of evil power is operating. لذلك, they don’t consider drinking alcohol and becoming tipsy or drunk, a problem
Should wine be replaced by grape juice for communion?
They approve of drinking alcohol in their daily lives, but during communion wine is not allowed anymore. Many churches have replaced the wine by grape juice for communion.
أحد الأسباب هو, that they don’t want to become a stumbling block for former alcoholics and use the following Scripture:
جيد ألا نأكل لحما, ولا لشرب الخمر, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbles, أو يتعرض للإهانة, أو جعله ضعيفا (رومان 14:21)
But this Scripture is taken out of context and has nothing to do with the holy Communion.
Communion is a sacred institution that the Lord Jesus Christ has instituted.
If people are going to change God’s holy institution, then people put themselves above God, تماما مثل الشيطان.
Jesus has never commanded to replace wine with grape juice. That’s because fermented wine symbolizes the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
That’s why Jesus drank wine during Passover and during the institution of Communion (اقرأ أيضا: ‘Why the wine has been replaced by grape juice?').

What is the world’s way of deliverance from alcohol addiction?
The way of the world for deliverance of the power of alcohol addiction is to go to a rehab clinic (rehab center) or AA meetings. The person must do the work and shall enter an alcohol recovery program and get therapy to be delivered from the power of alcohol.
The therapists and علماء النفس will dig into the life and the past of the person, to find out the cause of the alcohol addiction (اقرأ أيضا: ‘لا تقع في حفرة ماضيك').
After a few weeks or months, when the person has completed the alcohol addiction treatment and has shown and proven, الذي - التي (س)he is delivered from the power of alcohol and can live without alcohol and is ‘cured’, the person shall be released and return to his or her daily life.
But in many cases, it happens that as soon as the person returns to his familiar environment and old life, the person falls back into his old habits of drinking. The person shall long for alcoholic beverages and shall start drinking again.
It is a common thing, هذا الناس, who are released from rehab, will fall back into their old drinking behavior and become addicted to alcohol again and return to rehab again. When they are released the second time and return home, many times they will fall back again into their old drinking behavior and return to rehab again. This is an ongoing process, and these people can’t seem to get rid of their alcohol addiction. Why is that and how is this possible?
That’s because the cause of alcohol addiction is sought in the natural realm instead of the spiritual realm. The alcohol addiction is treated with natural means, which is impossible. بسبب ذلك, the real cause of the alcohol addiction is not addressed and the person shall stay bound to the spirit of alcoholism.
What causes an alcohol addiction?
Alcoholism can’t be cured with natural means, through carnal methods, مُعَالَجَة, العلاجات, or drugs, because alcoholism is not a natural effect of a natural cause, but alcoholism is a visible (طبيعي) effect of a spiritual cause. A spiritual cause can’t be treated with natural means.
When a person seeks a cure or treatment in the world, the person shall maybe be ‘freed’ for a while, but the person shall always struggle to stay away from alcoholic beverages because the longing for alcohol is still present. بعد كل شيء, the spiritual power of alcohol is not broken. Therefore the person shall struggle, when there is a bottle of alcohol in his or her presence or when others drink alcohol.
As long as the person is not delivered from the power of alcohol, the person shall stay an alcoholic and shall always struggle to stay sober. The longing for alcohol shall always be present because this spirit of alcoholism is still present.
When the person drinks wine during communion, the person shall long for more and shall struggle to control him/herself after service, to not grab a bottle and drink.
What is God’s way of deliverance from alcoholism?
Alcohol addiction is caused by a demonic unclean spirit of the kingdom of darkness. لذلك, if a person wants to be delivered, you have to remove the cause and command this spirit of alcoholism to leave the person and break the power of alcohol.
Every spirit (قوة) from the kingdom of darkness has to obey and bow for the Name of Jesus. Since Jesus has the highest authority في السماوات وعلى الأرض.
لذلك, عندما يكون الشخص, who is controlled and bound by this demonic spirit of alcoholism, comes to church or to you and seeks help, then don’t send that person to rehab, أ طبيب أو أ عالم نفسي, because they can’t help the person. بدلاً من, set that person free in the Name of Jesus, by commanding the spirit of alcoholism to leave the person.
When the evil spirit of alcoholism has left the person, the person is truly delivered from the power of alcohol. If the person is truly delivered from the power of alcohol, then the person shall be able to drink during communion, without longing for more alcohol.
The person shall not struggle anymore, لأن (س)he is delivered from the power of alcohol. This spirit of alcoholism, that caused this alcohol addiction and controlled the person’s life is no longer present but has left the person.
لكن, the person needs to stay awake and guard the gates of his or her life. Because this spirit of alcoholism will try to come back again and will search for a moment of weakness to enter. But when the person doesn’t give in to these carnal feelings of lust and doesn’t start drinking again, this spirit of alcoholism will be kept outside and leave the person.
Jesus warned about the unclean spirit
Jesus warned us about this and said: When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, ولا يجد شيئا. ثم قال, سأعود إلى منزلي الذي خرجت منه; وعندما يأتي, يجدها فارغة, اجتاحت, ومزخرف. ثم يذهب هو, ويأخذ معه سبعة أرواح أخر أشر منه, فيدخلون ويسكنون هناك: وكانت اواخر ذلك الرجل شرا من اوائله (ماثيو 12:43-45)
لم يقل يسوع "إذا".’ لكنه قال "متى", لذلك فإن الروح النجس سيحاول دائمًا العودة. لهذا السبب من المهم جدًا أن تكون على دراية بالأشياء التي تسمح بها في حياتك وتغذي عقلك بها وكيف تقضي وقتك..
يجب أن يملأ الروح القدس والكلمة عقلك وحياتك, حتى لا يكون منزلك فارغًا، بل يمتلئ بكلمته وروحه.
