These things were predicted in the Bible so I will speak from experiences and also give Biblical doctrine on this subject. I am 45 years old and I have encountered many forms of crippling addictions with people I love and many other relationships in my life. I searched very hard to understand how this can destroy so many lives and until I discovered the root of this evil, there was no settling in my mind.
When I was 19 years old, my mother and I were discussing some of the truths from the word of God. This was the very first encounter of truth behind the word sorcery. She would often share things she learned with me and I would be simply amazed and out of the root of these discussions is where my hunger grew for the word of God and to understand it more. Some of these discoveries that I learned changed my entire life.
The first thing I learned was the deception behind the word sorcery. I will give you proof and the true translation of this word. The English word sorcery paints a picture of a sorcery or witch casting spells on it's victims. The Greek word, carries a much broader meaning. And they did not repent of their murders, or their sorcery's or their sexual immorality or their thefts. Rev. 9:21 The word sorcery's in this scripture is pharmakeia. This is where the English version of the language gives us the word Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical. Now you can see this takes a total more in depth meaning and a greater understanding of the word.
The greatest cause for most crimes in America are the illegal drugs. Most people that are now incarcerated in American prisons are there because of buying or doing hard core drugs. The crimes that are connected to drug addiction are robberies, break ins, murder and the result of these crimes are linked to stealing money or stealing something to sell for money in order to support an addictive drug habit.
"AMERICA IS AN ADDICTED SOCIETY"
The pharmakeia spirit of sorcery is the chief spirit controlling the United States. Millions have experimented with and are now addicted to many kinds of drugs including.
Marijuana
LSD
Heroin
Cocaine
Crack Cocaine
Meth
Ecstasy
Prescription Pain Killers
Antidepressants
Steroids
"THE ADDICTION DEMON"
Millions of Americans are addicted to something. Illegal drugs and for others, pornography. Some can't break the addiction to gamble, and some are bound by alcohol.
Statistics on Alcohol
We spend 90 Billion on Alcohol each year
Over 15 million are dependent on alcohol, with five hundred thousand being between the ages of nine and twelve.
43 percent of Americans have been exposed to alcoholism in their families.
Alcohol would be deemed the number one addiction in this country but there are alarming statistics available to show the severity of America's Drug Problem.
1) Among teens age twelve to seventeen , the average age of first trying marijuana was fourteen years old.
2) In 1985 each day five thousand adults in the United States tried cocaine for the first time.
3)Today it is estimated that 25 million have tried cocaine. Conservative estimates indicate there are over 3 million cocaine addicts in the United States today.
4)Heroin is a highly addictive drug, and its use in very serious problem in America. There are over six hundred thousand people that now need treatment for heroin addiction.
America has been hypnotized by greed and addiction and it is being passed from generation to generation which is the very reason for this spirit at work. Every sin in our generation is an assignment against the children. Abortion stops the life of a child. Drugs can make a man impotent. Alcohol destroys families units. Drug money support terrorism through out the world. The attack is about the future seed.
As proof, we are seeing more child abuse, more molestations, and a greater rise in the numbers of pedophiles than ever before.
GOD IS LOOKING FOR THE INTERCESSORS
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30
This is a spiritual problem and drug addiction is sorcery and Satan has his hold on these that are addicted. Treatments have failed and locking people in prisons have failed. The one and only hope for this cure in our land is knowing that Jesus Christ can heal and has and will deliver these that are afflicted. The saddest part of it all is that the Lord can't help those that don't believe him. You will never understand DRUG ADDICTION without understanding the DEMONIC INFLUENCE.
While you are dealing with someone addicted, you can't fix it or lock them away or give them treatment without the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon them to heal them and there is no present help for this until we return with prayers, repentance and taking back our children. They are suffering and many try to find excuses of why our country is turning to ruins. THE ADDICTED ARE HURTING AND DYING and there is no present help. God bless you for reading and I hope you would pray for these. God is there only clear and present hope.
Please take a look at the link I provided from a dear friend and prayer partner that is a published author. Dan Calabrese is building a wall and standing in the gap through his fiction writings on these subjects.

God has blessed me greatly through our friendship. Dan also teaches an adult class on spiritual warfare at his church. From his web page there is some great information of the subject. I would encourage you to take a look at these books on his web page.
