Sorcery In America-"Addiction Crisis"

Most people don't understand the full meaning of the word sorcery.  Many see warlocks, witches and spells being cast and this word has been misinterpreted for many years.  While these things above are occultist and they are mentioned as well, through experiences of Family and Friends that have been grossly plagued with addiction it led me into a further look at something that was unexplainable and still is today by so many others across our country.Pharmakeia Defined

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.

For those Veterans We were Not Able to Thank

During the invasion of France, my Uncle Travis Stout was killed 2 weeks after being dropped into Normandy.  He was hit by a sniper.  He spent those two weeks living in abandoned cars.  I did some research on his company of the 82nd and found a special page in there memory.http://www.ww2-airborne.us/units/508/508_trp.html

At this time my grandmother had already passed away but my name sake aunt Rebecca Jean still survived.  I know my grandmother wondered about what he endured or the correct story of what happened to him.  After I sent in my uncle's picture to be displayed among his comrades.  My cousin Ricky Irvin did some more deep research of the men he served with.

Ricky made contact with the man that was with my uncle Travis when he was shot.  He told us of his bravery and he died right there by him.  His only surviving sister was taken to go visit this man and she got the exact story of what happened to her brother during those two weeks.  I wish my grandmother could have lived to speak with him so she would have been at peace.

It was an incredible story to have gone all those years not knowing.  I am so thankful I found this website and his comrades were contacted so my Aunt Rebecca could know of her brother Travis's bravery.  All through the years this boy Travis Stout was loved and his memory was kept alive even through we need got the privilage to meet him.

When the war started Travis was the only son of Holly and Bettie Stout, my great grandparents.  Travis kept seeing all the boys leaving and he was left behind.  He tried to sign up for anyone that would take him.  He wasn't drafted, he volunteered.  He had a flaw and couldn't seem to pass the physical because he was so flat footed.  He persistantly stayed after it.

He finally was accepted by the Army and the Paratroopers of the 82, and he was so excited to get the opportunity to serve his country.  He gave his all.  My great grandmother's only son, and he had no girl waiting at home and was never able to be a father.  I love my Uncle Bubbie so much for his patiotism and desire to serve and would not let up until he was accepted.

Just wanted to share a part of those that gave everything and didn't have to.  This is in honor of Travis Stout and very proud of the uncle I never got to meet.  Thankful my Auntie got closure about his death.  Thankful for the opportunity to post his picture and take him back into his group to once again be with those in Memorial.  God bless America.

Are We Able To Digest The Truth?

A great point that Paul makes and this does not account for unbelievers but those that are believers among you and this is so grossly misrepresented.

Paul condemns spiritual pride among those that profess faith.

1 Corinthians 5:9- When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. But I wasn't talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard or cheats people. Don't even eat with such people. This is not speaking of unbelievers. He is speaking of those professing faith.

It isn't my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. God will judge those on the outside, but as the scriptures say. You must remove the evil person from among you. Judgment clearly always starts at the house of God. Setting an example by the love we show one another and the unity of spirit. Iron sharpens iron, it doesn't melt it and throw it away it is for the building up to serve others and to not lead those that are weak or the unbelieving astray.

I will stake my place among those that don't believe and to those that are lost in the darkest of places to set a light for those that have no hope. People are hurting and we should operate much more like a hospital to these. We should not condemn and accuse them as they are not strong and this is abuse and clearly not what Christ intended.

God please prune me and break me if I ever become to Holy to hold out my hand to someone that doesn't know you. The Gospel is the commission of Christ and it is good news and it doesn't slap others around and knock them down when they aren't able to stand. This is spiritual abuse in every since of the word. If my brother corrects me and does so in a gentle manner do I conclude he is my enemy, God forbid but thankful he loved me enough to help me through it. We don't condemn or accuse the lost or misplaced. We are to be a light unto there path and we have to handle them with care. These scriptures demonstrate it perfectly and as Paul was the chief sinner and was called unto the Gentiles he boasted in his weaknesses that through this he might help save many. Our harm can be used for good and also help us with compassion. Please let us not injure the weak but bring correction with gentle love and understanding to our brothers and sisters. It is not about us and our pride and conceit do not enter in.

Why challenge one another with human wisdom it profits nothing, only ones personal gain of pride but to stand on the truth and to magnify love and to live in humility and to try to reconcile when grievances come but if that is not possible we must wipe the dust from our feet and move on. God bless everyone and Lord I pray you keep us in a lowly spirit and to be at peace with one another if that be possible and to not base our ministries on condemning, accusing those that do not know you. We need to examine ourselves because we may be the only Bible another human ever sees. May his light shine upon your hearts and may we forgive one another and to live in peaceful accord.
