Addiction: The Devil's Tool by vanen2: 1:12pm On Feb 06, 2015
“Cravings are a bent form of
hunger. The body hungering for
something that is poisonous, and
like puppets in a play, we dance
to its deadly song.”
How does Satan gain control? By
creating and fulfilling need —
creating dependency, and
providing the sole source of
fulfillment. Alcohol, sex, heroin,
caffeine, nicotine, even junk food
are prime examples of his
destructive tools of control.
The list is endless, pornography,
sleeping pills, fantasy books, late
night infomercials, diets, internet,
dating chat lines, even the cable
shopping channel. There are
therapists who specialize in
helping lonely souls overcome
shopping channel addiction.
People will sit up day and night
watching this stuff. It becomes
their closest friend, sometimes
their only companion.
Any form of stimulation, whether
drugs, alcohol, porn Internet or a
roller coaster ride, falsely
heightens sensory awareness
through an increase of
adrenaline in the blood stream.
Heart rate increases, the body
tingles, palms sweat, emotions
soar and imagination runs wild.
This state is always temporary
and results in a stimulation
deficit causing a feeling of
restless emptiness.
Sex was created by God. It is
given to the husband and wife as
a wedding gift to enjoy physical
and spiritual union. Between a
married couple it is the dance of
love. A sweet incense pleasing to
God. In marriage, it is one of the
most holy acts our flesh can
engage in. But Satan has twisted
sex into a powerful destructive
lever—a tool of control.
Respected Christian leaders have
been caught with their pants
down for all the world to see.
Broken men with broken
dreams, teaching God, living in
sin. Satan laughs as the world
asks, is nothing sacred? Who can
we trust? Christian ministers,
husbands, wives, teachers,
politicians, rock stars, and
teenagers have come crashing to
the ground because of sex. It is a
powerful tool because it has
been created by a powerful God.
In the same way, food in its
twisted state, has the power to
control. Sugar, salt, and fat–laced
foods are physically and
emotionally addictive. The
average North American Diet is
clear evidence of Satan's agenda.
Healthy, nutrient–rich foods,
twisted into addictive tools of
control.
Cravings are a bent form of
hunger. The body hungering for
something that is poisonous, and
like puppets in a play, we dance
to its deadly song. Promising
satisfaction, only to end in
sickness, suffering, and a hellish
cycle of dependence.
Culture is in a constant state of
evolution. Directing that
evolution is the key to power. A
force that impacts the
unconscious movements of the
herd. Man is a creature of habit;
we live our lives in patterns. The
world is changing and we are
changing with it. Changes that
affect how we think and feel. It
seems we have been caught in a
tide, so busy swimming to keep
up there is no time to stop, think,
and consider the direction life
has taken. And as the years roll
by, we wonder where the time
has gone, too frightened to even
consider how meaningless our
lives have become.
