Open Doors to Demonic Spirits

In the text of Proverbs 26:2 reads, As the bird by wandering as swallow by flying, so a curse cause less shall not come. What this text is saying is that no curse can come unless the enemy has legal right. If we are not fortified in the things of Christ, we could easily be opening up doors that we are not aware of. The enemy roams to and from seeking whom he can devour (1Peter 5:8 KJV). That means the enemy doesn't sleep he is trying to find whatever he can to bring a case against you.

Even the small things we don't realize is a crack to let the enemy in. For instance, who knew that marijuana was crack door that would soon let the enemy in? Most people think that it is an herb because it is grown from the ground, however anything that causes you to be elevated and hallucinate is a drug. The Greek term for drug is Pharmakeia which means the use of medicines, drugs, or spells. https://www.bing.com/search?q=greek+word+for+drugs&form=ANNTH1&refig=1502B5A507E94FC5BA3CD4AA36A49301&pc=HCTS
In other terms marijuana is a door open to witchcraft. We have to know that the enemy is slick his main objective is to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10).

Drug addiction often cause damage after elongated use because you become addicted. The Serotonin in the brain now unbalanced Now you have a door open to idolatry, rebellion, and witchcraft. The God we serve is a jealous God he wishes that nothing comes before him (Exodus 34:14). We must not be drunkards or addicts, but instead be filled with his spirit (Ephesians 5:18). Once we are made aware of these things then we must go in and close all demonic doors.

Yashica,

Good point about the term Pharmakeia which means the use of medicines, drugs, or spell. Many medications prescribed to treat mental illness can lead to addiction and even hallucinations. While marijuana is a prescribed substance used to manage pain, it too can be addictive. However, many people use marijuana as a means of relaxation. Some individuals turn to alcohol in the same manner as an attempt to unwind and escape their troubles, but this can ultimately lead them to develop alcoholism. Choosing this lifestyle in an attempt to escape their inner feelings open up the door to demonic influences. Alcoholics will use the scripture in 1 Timothy 5:23 - (No longer drink only water but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.) How can we help people that are mentally ill but yet need their medication to function in today's society? I believe sharing the Word of God with them praying and informing them that Christ is the answer and God so loved them that He gave his life for them John 3:16 (KJV) then deliverance will come.

This is powerfully stated! We must be aware of the adversary and his trickery. We truly must be sober and vigilant. So that he does not have access to us in any way as much as possible! On a daily basis! Help us Lord! To be for mindful and sober! Even the smallest things. Things that are not drug or alcohol related. Things we would least expect. It's the little foxes. Great post Shakena!!
