The Drunken Dad And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18
Allow the Drunken Dad to want to be healed and delivered from alcoholism. Give him the desire to be free more than the desire for the taste of alcohol. Don’t allow him to continue to blame his childhood, family or friends for his drunkenness. Allow him not to blame his addiction on any hurts, pain, disappointment, or any misfortune that happened in childhood. Let him not continue to blame other people for his choice to keep drinking. Allow him to know that in the name of Jesus, the enemy must flee. It is a spirit that should not be able to control him. Don’t allow him to make excuses for his habit. Lord, take the taste away from his mouth--take the desire away from his heart. I pray that he will be delivered, set free, and healed from whatever has caused him to be an alcoholic in the first place. I pray You will cover him with Your blood as You are delivering him from alcohol. Take every negative word that has been spoken over his life, stating that he will be an alcoholic all his life and he will never stop drinking. Renew his mind with 32
