Clueless about Sorcerers?

<< < (4/5) > >>

Linny:
If the sorcery mentioned has anything to do with drugs, I don't see it pertaining to marijuana (by the way,the Lord called me out of that lifestyle 18 years ago) as much as the Rite-Aids and Walgreens popping up on every corner. My poor mom, at 75, is sleeping 18+hours a day thanks to her wonderful pharms. It is the pharmaceutical companies that are making billions of dollars while drug reactions and overdoses are ramp id.

I see doctors prescribing people dozens of drugs in this..."pharmakon (a drug, that is, spell giving potion); a druggist (“pharmacist”) or poisoner"...as they are prescribed with the added fear factor when you go to the doctor.

Sorry but I have just spent the last 4 days with my mom who has been in bed sleeping since Sat evening only to rise to go to the bathroom. She has lost all quality of life due to her non-recreational drug use.  >:(

Dave in Tenn:
Bless her heart, Linny.  The voodoo witch doctors in Haiti don't make near as many zombies.  Time to call her doctor on the carpet? 

OBrenda:
I agree...Linny,

There certainly is both Good & Evil with the subject of Pharm/Drugs.  Without a doubt there are some Corporations and others in the Medical field whom care only about making money.  I recently had to bring my Mom to the Mayo Clinic to sort out the meds she was on, her local Doctor told her she needed surgery or she would be dead in 3 months. Fortunately the Clinic straighten everything out, and there was no need for surgery.  :)  This can be frustrating to watch loved ones suffer, but I believe finding the right meds isn't as easy as we may wish it. Although some Meds have side effects, they do prolong some peoples life.  We need to actively participate in our health care.  Your Mom is blessed to have you fighting for her!

What I am starting to understand about sorcery and its connection to drugs/spells is not the substance but the effects it has to dull our senses and reality. It's not the tobacco, or the Caffeine in a drink that is evil.  It is the substances importance in our lives over Others and our walk with God.  One can be come addicted to video games, and neglect to spend time with their family or take care of daily routines.  But while they are playing the game, they have some peace and have distracted themselves away from strife.  I have an addiction to Food, should we see the Food as what is Evil and become legalistic and forbid people to take it?

I welcome correction if I'm off here, but if God is trying to teach us sometimes through suffering, and we medicate ourselves with whatever dulls the pain, we won't learn anything.  I've heard one of the results of being a drug addict is you stop growing emotionally.  So you can have a 50 year old, who stops taking drugs who then has the maturity of a 19 year old.

I think to demonize a few substances is folly.  I think we would be missing the point. 

Just My Thoughts,
Brenda

Linny:
Thanks guys for your kind comments. Dave your voodoo comment was hilariously, yet sadly, so true.  :-\
The problem is that elderly people don't have one doctor. They have 4 or 5 all prescribing medication.

Being of the homeopathic, biblical nutrition leanings, I am very anti-pharm myself. I don't ridicule those who use them and I only offer my help if people ask, but I have found that there are plenty of natural ways to keep us healthy and heal us as needed without using any medicine. I am 10 yrs without a doctor's appt and doing quite well. I "treat" my husband and kids as well with what I've learned and we stay healthier than most.

I watched my dad use $1000/mo of mostly government money to pay for his drugs until he died in April after years of no quality of life. One hospital stay last year was $96,000 paid by us tax payers. Now my mom is on so many drugs I can't count them and 5 are for blood pressure.  :o

I read an article today where one of the big pharm companies uses poor families overseas to test their new vaccines. They killed 12 babies and are still continuing the experiment.

So when I see the word "pharm" in regards to sorcery and I see what Americans are taking these days, and the billions of dollars being spent, I can't help but think this is not God's way.

Hope I did not offend.

Please say a prayer for my mom. I am taking her to the doctor tomorrow as she is not improving and still bedridden (in my livingroom). I can't figure out what is wrong with her so we are going for a diagnosis. I will leave it up to her as to what she does from there.

Blessings to all,
Linny

OBrenda:
Hi Linny,

No offense taken by me.....Can't say I disagree with anything you said! ;D
Most Meds just cover things up, no cures, just magic tricks. (sorcery)
Went through it with my Mum, will keep yours in my prayers!
God's Blessings,
Brenda
