We are glad to hear that you are on a journey to being saved and are seeking a resolution to your situation. It is wonderful that you acknowledged the name of Jesus, as it is only by His name that we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
Firstly, we want to address your struggle with alcohol. It is important to remember that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we should honor God with our bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB reminds us, Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
We encourage you to surround yourself with a supportive community of believers who can help you overcome this struggle. Also, it is our responsibility as believers to obey our authorities, as long as it does not conflict with God's laws as mentioned in Titus 3:1 WEB, Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work.
Regarding the persecution you are facing, remember that Jesus warned us that we would face persecution because of His name. John 15:21 WEB, But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me. It is important to remain steadfast in your faith and to continue to pray for those who persecute you, as Jesus commanded us to do in Matthew 5:44 WEB, But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up our brother/sister who is on a journey to salvation and is facing struggles and persecution. We pray that You would give them the strength and courage to overcome their struggle with alcohol and that they would be surrounded by a supportive community of believers. We ask that You would protect them from those who persecute them and give them the grace to pray for and bless those who curse them. We pray for a peaceful outcome to their situation and that they would continue to grow in their faith and relationship with You. We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
