April 23, 2024 at 4:29 amMy kind father, Our nation is experiencing a drug crisis that can only be solved by you. Hope cannot be found in a pill or an injection. It can only come from your saving grace.

April 23, 2024 at 4:38 amCould anyone have imagined the current fentanyl crisis and the heavy toll it would take on society? Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45. There’s no doubt that this synthetic opioid, which ravages the mind and body, is dreadfully euphoric, mind numbingly narcotic, and dangerously hallucinogenic. As humans seek a quick fix to wipe out their pain and hopelessness, are they using this drug as a substitute for God, and reality itself?

April 23, 2024 at 4:41 amOverdoses within this fourth wave are fueled by counterfeit pills being smuggled across the open border. “It moves across our utterly open border after being manufactured by powerful cartels in Mexico, typically from China-made starter chemicals.” Fentanyl and other illegal substances can also be found on the dark web and ordered with the click of a button, or by connecting with drug traffickers via social media.

April 23, 2024 at 4:45 am🌫️ Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi stresses ,“The gravity of this crisis cannot be overstated. In each of the past three years, our nation has experienced an appalling new milestone in the number of Americans who have died from drug overdoses, with yearly totals exceeding 100,000 each of the past few years. The overwhelming majority of these deaths have come at the hands of opioids and, in particular, fentanyl poisoning. To put that into perspective, nearly as many Americans died of overdose in 2022 as died fighting in the First World War.”

April 23, 2024 at 4:45 amAs a steady flow of fentanyl floods the country, the big question is how to stop this catastrophic drug epidemic that takes the life of an American every five minutes. More importantly, what are the spiritual factors driving this wave of death and destruction?

April 23, 2024 at 4:47 am🔴If people recognized Jesus as the Great Healer, wouldn’t they turn to Him, instead of to these drugs which bring temporary euphoria and crushing addiction?

April 23, 2024 at 4:48 amSafe Injection Sites are the Latest Experiment To battle the wave of fentanyl deaths, a new and controversial strategy has been employed in New York City, known as a safe injection site (SIS). Currently there are locations in both Harlem and Washington Heights. These facilities are overseen by health care personnel who supervise addicts as they inject drugs.

April 23, 2024 at 4:51 am“OnPoint NYC vigorously advocates for social justice and strives to address adverse outcomes among people who use drugs or engage in sex work by providing the resources, tools, and support they need to enhance the quality of their lives and live with dignity. We combat stigma and embrace people who use drugs and engage in sex work instead of pushing them to the margin.”
spiritdoc1Prayers: 40505Requests: 2405
April 23, 2024 at 4:54 amFunding for OnPoint NYC comes from GEORGE SOROS’S Open Society Foundation, as well as the AIDS Institute, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the New York Community Trust, Deutsche Bank, and many other organizations. Open Society’s website documents their history of support for SIS in places like Ukraine and Mexico, where drug consumption venues are provided for “safe, supervised drug use without fear of arrest.”
spiritdoc1Prayers: 40505Requests: 2405
April 23, 2024 at 4:54 amThose who advocate for SIS claim that allowing addicts to take drugs in a supervised setting is the “most compassionate way” to address the nation’s drug crisis because it reduces the number of deaths due to overdose and decreases the transmission of blood-borne diseases such as Hepatitis C and HIV. Additionally, while onsite, the user has the opportunity to interact with staff who can provide advice and counseling.
spiritdoc1Prayers: 40505Requests: 2405
April 23, 2024 at 4:56 amThe sad reality, however, is that less than 1% of users will actually request addiction treatment once they are given a comfortable place to do their drugs. Other free services provided by SIS centers include HIV/Hep C testing, buprenorphine for substance use recovery, wound care, group therapy, crisis intervention, hygiene facilities, digital connectivity, hot meals, and even acupuncture, aromatherapy and meditation.

April 23, 2024 at 4:57 amA disturbing trend being witnessed in SIS facilities are users who need treatment for flesh eating wounds caused by a potent drug called xylazine. Also known as “Tranq,” this “zombie” drug is mixed with fentanyl to create a powerful sedative effect. 🔴The DEA warns that those who inject drug mixtures containing xylazine could develop severe open wounds, which can lead to amputation.

April 23, 2024 at 4:58 amMost People Oppose Enabling Drug Use Currently, the majority of state lawmakers and American citizens oppose safe injection sites. The main argument is that these facilities will only perpetuate addiction rather than stop it. By enabling users, drug abuse is encouraged, which further deteriorates the addict’s quality of life. Additionally, proactive solutions, such as tackling the open border and mandating drug treatment for addicts are being ignored. The answer to the war on drugs isn’t holding the hand of a drug user as they inject harmful, deadly substances into their body.
spiritdoc1Prayers: 40505Requests: 2405
April 23, 2024 at 4:59 amSome users have called SIS a “blessing,” by stressing that at these places, “they’re always taking care of you,” and “they make sure you don’t die.” Others have even said it’s “God’s work” because it provides a safe haven for destitute, marginalized people.

April 23, 2024 at 5:00 amAs Christians, we know this cannot be God’s work because using drugs makes people slaves to the wrong master. 🔴Even if a person’s body is kept alive, their spirit experiences a form of death as the drugs become their god, rather than Jesus Christ. Instead of alleviating pain, drug use simply prolongs it.
spiritdoc1Prayers: 40505Requests: 2405
April 23, 2024 at 5:02 amThe bottom line is that people need Jesus, not drugs. Prayer Points to Consider: 💊Pray for a revival in this nation where people turn to Jesus Christ, rather than drugs. 💊Pray for supernatural healings for addicted persons. 💊Pray that our borders would be made secure. 💊Pray that the flow of fentanyl and other illegal substances would be stopped in its tracks, and drug dealers/users would be cut off from their sources.
spiritdoc1Prayers: 40505Requests: 2405
April 23, 2024 at 5:03 am💊Pray that current “safe” injection sites would be closed and any plans for new ones would be thwarted. 💊Pray for money to be invested in quality, well-structured recovery programs.

April 23, 2024 at 5:06 amThe Great Healer, Jesus Christ, sees the pain and hopelessness of those who are harmed by the current drug crisis. 🙏🏻My kind father, Praying that they would reach out for the hem of your garment and receive the healing that only you can provide. In the name of The sun of righteousness! The sun of righteousness will rise with healing in his wings, Malachi 4:2 🙏🏻❤️🕊️

April 23, 2024 at 8:11 amThank you for raising this terrible issue Spiritdoc1 which should be treated as a national emergency! I am aware of what is going on with it being brought in deliberately through the open border policy from ‘Open Societies’ and other groups who have more power, money and influence even than governments , oftentimes. Of course all this is easy to see who is really behind it and it is warned about in the Bible many times. The enemy (satan, the devil and his minions) comes masquerading as the angel of light. He uses his mind control spells to manipulate people also through what I call ‘wizadry of words’ but God’s wisdom is proven true by it’s results.. (Luke 7:35 Contemporary English Version Yet Wisdom is shown to be right by what its followers do.) The fact these groups decide to invest , money, time and resources into something they call ‘SIS’ – which really could be also very possible to stand for something entirely different than what they are saying it means , these people are clearly NOT helping these lost souls who need Jesus as you rightly say Spirit doc . The scripture from Malachi is apt too 🙏 So really we have to understand it all comes back to the spiritual battle we are in in Ephesians 6. The enemy comes to deceive, rob and destroy and these groups are aiding and abetting these vulnerable people. It is all being done by design. This is the sign of just how sick the eagle nation has become ( and it is far from the only one) we need to truly turn this nation back to a nation of God . As of this scripture confirming what you say, 2 Chronicles 7:14 Names of God Bible 14 However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, search for me, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear their prayer from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country. This is what must happen, there was a sign over America recently during the eclipse which went over 7 places called Nineveh . Jesus was asked about signs in the last days and He said the only sign you are going to get is the sign of Jonah. Well what happened then? There was also said to be a sign in heaven as an eclipse which the people understood how to read the signs in the heavens back in time. So that , coupled with Jonah’s fatal Word from God that He was going to destroy their city in forty days meant they went straight to fasting, repenting and then rending their clothes (now our hearts) and throwing themselves in ashes and praying , they did as according to 2 CHRONICLES 7:14 said and God relented.. This is exactly what needs to happen now in MANY nations. The pandemic was not just some random virus that happened , and neither is it connected to any climate change, none of the hardships or shakings across the earth many are suffering , are accidental, God is calling to us to take heed and turn back to Him and His ways. He is the healer, not drug cartels , including those giants and mighty cedars of the earth who are running the bigger ones many rely on today .🙏
