DRUGS: WHETTING YOUR SPIRITUAL APPETITE
WHETTING YOUR SPIRITUAL APPETITE
Pray for people all over the world to come to Jesus in record numbers and to be freed from the ferocious drug demons which have been released upon the public. ******* These are sure signs of the works of the devil and his demons but these things can only be spiritually discerned. For the scriptures say, “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” Revelation 12:9,12
Below are FOUR DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS showing how Satan has deceived the world through the use of marijuana(weed) and other drugs. I have underlined specific portions to show you how Satan is behind this horrific attack that has come upon the earth. While we must not overlook man’s sin condition and his freedom to choose we must understand that Satan and his demons are the chief reason for the drug outbreak which has reached epidemic proportions around the world. People have been deceived to think that it is fine with God to be a drug addict. The truth is that the root word for drugs comes from the latin word pharmacia which comes from sorcery. The English equivalent is pharmacy(hence, medication) and please note that unless they repent and give their hearts to Christ that all sorcerers will end up in hell. For God’s Word says, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 (King James Version)
Please read the following information very carefully and do some extended studies to come to the truth in your own hearts and minds.
FOUR DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS:
1) Revelation 18:23 (King James Version)
“And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; FOR BY THY SORCERIES WERE ALL NATIONS DECEIVED.”
2) Revelation 18:23 (Amplified Bible)
“And never again shall the light of a lamp shine in you, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall never be heard in you again; for your businessmen were the great and prominent men of the earth, AND BY YOUR MAGIC SPELLS AND POISONOUS CHARM ALL NATIONS WERE LED ASTRAY (SEDUCED AND DELUDED).”
3) Revelation 18:23 (New Living Translation)
“The light of a lamp
will never shine in you again.
The happy voices of brides and grooms
will never be heard in you again.
For your merchants were the greatest in the world, AND YOU DECEIVED THE NATIONS WITH YOUR SORCERIES.”
4) Revelation 18:23 (New American Standard Bible)
“And the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, BECAUSE ALL THE NATIONS WERE DECEIVED BY YOUR SORCERY.”
IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ALCOHOL IS REALLY A DRUG TOO. IT IS THE MOST ABUSED DRUG IN ALL THE WORLD AND MANY WILL SAY IT IS BECAUSE IT IS LEGAL TO USE. THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT. IF ALCOHOL, LARGELY BECAUSE OF IT‘S LEGAL STATUS, IS THE MOST ABUSED SUBSTANCE, WHAT WOULD BECOME OF SOCIETY IF MARIJUANA (WEED) OR COCAINE WERE TO BECOME LEGALIZED. IF THE ABUSE OF ALCOHOL HAS CAUSED SO MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING TO MANKIND WHAT LEVELS OF DESTRUCTION WOULD THE LEGALIZATION OF OTHER MIND ALTERING DRUGS BRING?!
AN OBSERVATION AND AN IMPORTANT POINT:
1) IT SEEMS TODAY THAT YOUNG FOLKS ARE GOING TO COLLEGE TO MAJOR IN THE ABUSE OF ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS JUST AS MUCH OR MORE AS ACADEMIC SUBJECTS. *** THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN PRECOLLEGE EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS AS WELL.
2) THIS IS NOT TO IN ANY WAY SUGGEST THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT RECEIVE CERTAIN DRUGS WHILE UNDER A DOCTOR’S CARE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO UNDERGO SURGERY OBVIOUSLY MEDICATION WOULD GREATLY BE ADVISED TO AVOID UNTOLD PAIN. HOWEVER, TOO OFTEN PROBLEMS COME WHEN PEOPLE ARE PRESCRIBED ADDICTIVE DRUGS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
Jesus loves you.
