158/613 – Don’t
drink wine and alcohol!
Yaakov, Béla Orbán
"Do not drink wine or
strong drink, you and your sons with you, when you enter into the Meeting Tent,
so that you do not die, which is a perpetual statute throughout your
generations…"
(Leviticus 10:9)
God forbids the Cohens to
enter the Sanctuary, the place of their ministry under the influence of
alcohol.
"...as well as to
distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the
clean." (10th verse)
This law is still effective
today when someone is in charge of taking a decision or judging according to
the Law or when he is teaching the Law.
This law is more than ever efficient
for us today!
Why?
Because not only the chemical
substances such as drug or alcohol are able to make people get drunk or to damage
the spiritual lucidity or the sense of responsibility, but there are also many
ways of manipulation such as joy overflowing, adoration, positive confessions,
etc.
Among these, we can find
methods of manipulation like praise and dance which favor a false estate of joy
in many people’s mind. It is FORBIDDEN to go before God or to serve in the name
of Christ while being under their effect!
The methods of joy overflowing
and adoration are innumerable in these days.
The same for all the methods
of dazing and making drunk of the false charismatic favoring evil spirits to
take control upon the faithful.
The moderate consumption of alcohol is of course allowed
outside of the ministry.
But does a real servant of God
have any free time? Doesn’t he always have to be ready to go in mission at any
time?
Or souls will be lost because
of us?
