My Forty Years of Alcoholism was Broken
“If the son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed – John 8:36 (NIV)”
Whenever I testified and glorified the Lord, Satan did not like it. He would immediately create some problem in Karthi’s health. avHHHHaving learnt about the technique, we chased away the Satan with faithful prayers in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Our Lord has already crushed his head on the Calvary and he is now a snake with a cracked head. And a crack?! Our strong faith and continuous prayers can only be the weapon to keep him away from us. But we have to be always watchful about him as he is clever, cunning, tempting and does not allow you that easily to come out of your old habits. Although I had grown strong in faith, I could not fully become holy and leave all my old habits. I was in the Indian Air Force for 26 years and I was used to hard liquor for more than 40 years now. Almost I had become an alcoholic. I used to have a strong will power. For sometime I used to smoke. Then I will leave the smoking and start off chewing pan (Betel leaves) and tobacco. To leave chewing tobacco, I would pick up snuffing. Like that I was in and out of one or the other bad habit. With my will power I used to start anything and leave anything. I tried many a time to stop my drinking habit after coming to Jesus but I could not leave it. I thought I had mastered it, but alas! It had mastered me. The Bible says clearly in John 8:34 that he who does sin is a slave to sin. I had become a slave to drinking. Finally I went and cried to the Lord in the Church to help me come out of this bad habit. The Lord heard my prayers, saw my tears and sincerity and since then, MY 40 YEARS DRINKING HABIT AND
ADDICTION WAS BROKEN AND I WAS DELIVERED. The thought of alcohol never came up again in my mind afterwards. The Lord says in 1 John 1:7-9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all our unrighteousness. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sins”. No more tobacco or snuff or any other bad habits since then. The Lord has made me totally free from all vices and addictions. If the Son (Jesus Christ) makes you free, you are free indeed (Jn 8:36). ASK ANYTHING IN HIS NAME SINCERELY AND WITH TEARS. JESUS WILL DEFINITELY SET YOU FREE! Hallelujah!
