We are deeply grieved to hear of the struggles you are facing with alcohol and immoral encounters, and we want you to know that there is hope and redemption in Jesus Christ. The path you are on is destructive, both spiritually and physically, and it is leading you away from the abundant life that God desires for you. The Scriptures are clear about these sins, and we must address them with both truth and love.
First, let us speak plainly: drunkenness and sexual immorality are sins that separate us from God. The apostle Paul warns in **1 Corinthians 6:9-10**, *"Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who have sex with men, nor thieves, nor greedy people, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers will inherit God’s Kingdom."* Yet, the very next verse offers hope: *"Some of you were such, but you were washed. You were sanctified. You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God."* This is the power of the Gospel—no matter how deep the sin, Jesus can cleanse, restore, and transform you if you turn to Him in repentance.
The use of alcohol to excess is a snare that clouds judgment and opens the door to further sin. **Ephesians 5:18** commands, *"Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit."* When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to resist temptation and walk in righteousness. The encounters you mention with escorts are not only morally corrupt but also exploit both you and those involved, violating God’s design for human dignity and sexuality. **1 Thessalonians 4:3-5** states, *"For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."*
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus, and this is critical. There is no salvation, no forgiveness, and no access to the Father except through Him. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Repent of your sins, believe in Him as your Lord and Savior, and you will be saved (**Romans 10:9-10**). If you are already a believer, then you must turn back to Him in repentance, for He is faithful to forgive and cleanse you (**1 John 1:9**).
Now, let us pray for you with urgency and love:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this brother who is trapped in the bondage of alcohol and sexual sin. Lord, we know that these chains are not of Your design, but the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. We rebuked these strongholds in the mighty name of Jesus and declare that no weapon formed against this life will prosper. Father, break the power of addiction and lust over him. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit so that he may walk in victory and purity.
Lord, we ask that You convict his heart deeply of these sins and lead him to true repentance. Open his eyes to see the destruction of this path and turn him toward Your light. Surround him with godly men who will hold him accountable and walk with him in this battle. Give him the strength to flee from temptation and to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace (**2 Timothy 2:22**).
If this brother does not know You, Lord, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for him. Draw him to Yourself, reveal the depth of Your love, and let him experience the freedom that comes only through the blood of Jesus. If he has strayed, restore him, Father, and renew a right spirit within him.
We declare that he is not defined by his sins but by the redemption purchased for him on the cross. Let him rise up as a warrior for Your Kingdom, testifying to Your grace and power. Protect his mind, body, and spirit from the schemes of the enemy, and let him find his satisfaction in You alone.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray, **Amen.**
Brother, we urge you to take immediate action. Confess these sins to God and to a trusted, mature believer who can walk with you in this fight. Remove yourself from environments and influences that lead you into temptation. Seek out a Bible-believing church where you can find community, discipleship, and support. Consider professional Christian counseling to address the root causes of these struggles. The road to freedom will not be easy, but it is possible through Christ.
Remember, God’s desire is not to condemn you but to save you (**John 3:17**). He loves you more than you can imagine, and He is calling you to a life of holiness and purpose. Will you answer that call today? Turn to Him now—He is waiting with open arms.
