It is written that you know gospel. If you
know these things, blessed & happy & to be envied are you, (You
are blessed one) if you practice them, act accordingly & really to
them. (John 13:17)
In the beginning years of my
life, I started using intoxications, wine & whisky & smoking. All this
keeps with me for many years. Once it happened, some super natural power
questioned me, “Why do you drink wine & other intoxications?” Simply my
answer was, “John 2:1-9 & 1Timothy 5:23 indicates, one can drink”.
“You are concerned with words. The word sin has been used many time in
Holy Scripture, is that means you can do sin?” questioned again. Days gone, I
forget
all about it.
One day I was reading
the gospel of Saint Luke, when I read verse 26th of chapter 10, I
could not go forward from this verse. Again & again I read it. What is written & how do you read it! And
in the due course, Holy Bible was opened at chapter 35 of book of Jeremiah. Now
I felt Holy Spirit was leading me. I found Holy Spirit was saying to me, “Read
it, read it, read it. I read it & found Holy Spirit was saying, see how
Jonadab son of Rechab read it? He strictly forbids his family, not to drink
& use any of intoxications: How he learned about it? Because he did not
read Bible as you read, according to your convenience, according to your mind,
according to your thinking. But he read it as it is written.
Yes he read that you
never read. He read, Number 6:1-3 where very clearly written, `Moses, tell
people that they shall drink no vinegar of wine, neither drink any liquor.
Again to Aaron, none
ever come to me in any intoxication, lest he die”. The LORD GOD who says that if you come to me
in intoxicated condition, you may die; in other words he says, I may not kill
you if I see you in intoxications, how can such GOD allow intoxications?
Holy Spirit explained me,
how GOD sent HIS angel on earth to give HIS message to Manoah & his wife,
that God is blessing them with a son (they had no child) but they must not use
any intoxication at any cost. (Judges 13:1- 14).
Holy Spirit
explained me, how GOD sent HIS angel on earth to give HIS message to Zacharias
that God is blessing them with a son (Zacharias & Elisabeth had no child)
& because he will be special for God & will not use any intoxication (Luke
1:5-15).
Each one of us is special
for God, because Holy Bible tells in Deut. 7:6 for you are holy people unto
Lord your God. He has chosen you to be a special people unto Himself above all
people that are on earth.
In Deut. 14:1 it is
claimed,” You are the children of the Lord your God”. And again in the gospel
of John in chapter 1 verse 12, it is told that He has asked you to be His
children, His sons & daughters. His sons & daughters should be of what
type? What He wants His sons & daughters to be? Leviticus’ 11:44 &19:2
& 20:7, Matthew 5:48, 1Peter 1:16 tells Lord says, “For I am the Lord your
God, so you Shall therefore sanctify yourselves and be holy for I am holy,
neither you shall defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on
earth.
More He says in 1
Corinthians 3:16& 6:19, 2 Corinthians 6:16, “you are my temple.” He makes you His temple. He says,” I
live in you.
People make temples and
worship there gods in temples. Mostly people don’t like the business of
intoxications near their worship places. If someone wants to open a shop of
intoxication, people oppose it and never allow it, because they feel that this
will defile surroundings, atmosphere near their holy place. Their temple, their
place of worship is holy. They don’t endure any defiling thing or business near
their holy place. Lord your God keep you His temple. You never allow any
defiling thing even near to temple, holy place settled for worship, made by
men.
Then you take decision
and tell, is it right, is it justice to put intoxications in your body, to fill
your body with intoxications, which is the temple of Lord your God? When you
can’t bear the nearness of intoxications to your own made holy places, temples,
how much more one should be cautious for one’s body, one’s life, which has been
settled residence of Holy Spirit, God your Lord? Think, think with cool heart.
Think about your relationship with your God, your creator.
People know about
holiness. Many want to keep themselves holy. In the book of Daniel, in 1st.
chapter verses 3-16, it is explained that Daniel and his friends new the
importance of holiness. When the king selected them & settled their food,
they could not allow themselves to take it, because they found that this food
will not let them holy. This will spoil there holiness. So they went &
requested chief of kitchen officials to give them simple food in spite of kings
assigned.
Daniel 1:5-And the king appointed for
them daily provision of the king’s
delicacies and of the wine which
he used to drink.
(Daniel 1:8)-But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile
himself with the portion of king’s delicacies food, nor with the wine king
drank. Therefore he requested the chief of kitchen officials that he might not
defile himself.
(Daniel 1:10)-And the chief of kitchen officials said to Daniel,” I fear
milord the king who has appointed your food & drink, for why should he see
your faces looking worse then the young
men of your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.
(Daniel 1:12-15)- Daniel requested him to test them for ten days.
Officer agreed. And at the end of ten days their features appeared better &
fatter in flesh then all the young men who ate the portion of king’s
delicacies.
(Daniel 1:19)-Then king interviewed them and he found none equal to
Daniel,
Hananiah, Mishael & Azariah.
(Daniel 1:20)-And king found them ten time better in wisdom &
understanding than all other people in
king’s presence.
Next thing that there
is a life after end of this life. Jesus told about it in John 14:2-3 and Luke
12:32. Matthew 19:16, Mark 10:17 & Luke 18:18 tell that people had been in
search of this life from the ancient ages. Luke 23:41-43 confirm about this.
Type of this life is detailed in Revelation 21:1-5. No tears, no weeping, no
fear of death, no crying, no worry, no pain, no sorrow at all there in that
life. There is everything new for you.
But 1st. Corn.
6:10 & Gal.5:21 warns that ……drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of God,
but will face eternal death (Matthew 25:41)
Dear one’s in & of Jesus, Lord God says in Ezekiel 33:11,”I don’t
want anyone to die, but every one to have life & live. To ensure this
everlasting life for me & you He send His only begotten son, who came in
the shape of men and shed His precious blood on cross that we may have eternal
life.
In psalm 75:8 Asaph
writes that intoxications are for wicked. And in Romans 12:2 it is said that do
not be like people of this world because you are children of the almighty God.
But be Holy & pure.
There is description in
Jeremiah 35:1-8, 16-19. Notice it & think what is written &how do you
read it? (Luke 10:26). And notice how this family read Holy Scripture &
from where these people learned about intoxications?
(Jeremiah 35:1,5)- Jeremiah offered them wine.
(Jeremiah 35:6)- they refused strictly and said that our ancestors
taught us never to use any kind of intoxications and we neither have used any
kind of intoxication nor we will use any kind of intoxications at any cost. And
in result of this, Lord God of Israel says, “A man from family of Jonadab the
son of Rechab shall stand before me for ever & ever in my presence.
“Do
not look upon the wine when it is red, & when it looks charming in cup,
because at last it bite like a serpent and sting like a viper”. (Proverbs
23:31-32)-
A Prayer :- Almighty Jesus have mercy on me. Destroy the works of devil
against me. Destroy the works of devil in me. Rebuke satanic evil spirits of
intoxications & send them away from me forever. Sanctify me through your
Holy Blood flowing for me even today. Kind Jesus save me to everlasting life
through your Holy Precious Blood I pray. Amen.
May Jesus take you
away from every kind of intoxications & keep you safe under His mighty
hands. Amen.
