I have been drinking more alcohol in the last six
months than I am used to and more than I can handle. It’s working not very well
in my life, I get tired of it and I immediately notice at the first sip that my
contact with God is being blocked. Still I did it, sometimes even a few glasses
of wine every day and on the weekend I cached up a whole bottle. Although I
know that it is not good for me, I did it anyway, the ease, the temporary
comfort, the relaxing of just sitting down with a glass of wine, everything was
between my ears, but I did it anyway. The result was that I was less
concentrated, I prayed less, I was less able to find peace in myself, I was a
little depressed inside and I also saw that my skin and eyes made me look
older.
What an impossible behaviour, I was surprised that I
did it and despite the fact that someone else did not notice anything and might
say "what are you talking about, two glasses a day are okay?" I have
my own limit and experience. I did it against my better judgment, I felt worse
under it and a few weeks ago I was suddenly fed up with it. I didn't drink at
all anymore, felt better every day, didn't miss it so much because there were
so many good things in this new attitude, and I noticed that there was a
connection between my prayer life and having stopped alcohol.
On the internet I have checked that this is not news.
The Qur'an states that alcohol is the work of the
devil and must be avoided. In the Hadith, a book with statements by Mohammed,
is mentioned: alcohol is the mother of all evil and is the most shameful of all
evil.
The Bible also states that excessive alcohol
consumption leads to aggression, poverty, worries, insecurity and
insensitivity. That's why the Baptists and Methodists have always rejected it.
Meditation is central to Buddhists. It is important
that the body is in a position that is as quiet as possible. A number of
nutrients, including alcohol, have an undesirable effect on this body according
to this line of thought. Alcohol consumption is therefore not recommended due
to the intoxicating effect.
The Rastafari also strongly advise against alcohol.
In general, all religious / philosophical dogmas state
that excessive alcohol consumption (alcohol abuse) conflicts with religious and
social norms and values.
Is it harder, My God, to get close to You if I choose
for alcohol?
Would You like to comment on this?
My son, it was time for you to break through the sliding scale, to be
helped with insight and to make new connections.
We have let the demon of the alcohol go its own way, because we wanted
you to experience everything that you described above all out of your own free
will.
And I'll sharpen it up, here's My answer.
"Atheism in the Western world is a direct
consequence of the large-scale alcohol abuse over the centuries"
This has not often been so clearly publicly proclaimed, and I do that
now. Gradually, the beautiful Enlightenment and the development of science
nourished everyone who had atheistic thoughts. But no one has realized that
with every sip of alcohol, with every new intoxication, with every day that
people drink heavily and seek comfort and oblivion in alcohol, the demon of the
alcohol has gotten more influence. And this powerful demon stands for character
deformation, negativity, resentment, hatred, and atheism. Hatred of God, hatred
of churches, hatred of faith, hatred of prayer. This demon nourishes all hatred
of God and Its servants on earth who can possibly keep man from alcohol.
Thus, spirits, the spirit-rich moisture of alcohol, have become the poor
alternative to spirituality in any form.
When man takes a glass of alcohol, he closes the door to God.
If a person is already struggling with faith and wondering what it is
all about, the demon of alcohol can give the final blow to the last remnants of
faith.
If a person drinks a lot, he becomes cynical, misanthropic and a hater
of mankind. And he hates his old friends and family members most, who stand for
the bond of love, for trust and perhaps for the former belief that he had. Take
a good look around you, a good alcoholic ends up lonely, has destroyed his ties
with loved ones and does no longer believe anything. The last thing he still
has to do is destroy his body.
And Western society, with its virulent atheism, its empty churches, its
over-attachment to its own mind, and openly opting for matter and sex, has
become with its excessive alcohol consumption an atheistic society that openly
acts against any form of piety. The Muslim women with a headscarf thus become a
symbol of precisely what one does not want to see, someone who openly expresses
her faith.
The degeneration of these societies can only be stopped by disasters, My
son, the power of the demon of alcohol has become too great to be corrected by
anything other than in a rude and radical way.
My blessings to you all
