Depression rates are soaring like never before. Especially amongst confessing followers of Jesus Christ. America is the third largest Christian confessing Nation in the entire world. Jesus Christ is The Prince of Peace, yet many who confess to follow him do not possess peace or joy in our lives. What is going on?Do you or someone you know take anti-depressant drugs? Do you know according to God's Word you are sinning against him and you cannot go to heaven if you are? Why are pastors and preachers not warning our nation and their congregants about these facts?
Anything that alters your state of mind is considered witchcraft! Anti-depressant drugs are no different from someone that smokes marijuana, crack or is an alcoholic. The only difference with these drugs is that anti-depressants drugs are legalized in our modern day society, however God's Word clearly forbids them.
In the Greek, the word witchcraft and sorcery has the same meaning, which is rendered pharmakĕia. In the English language we get the word pharmacy or pharmaceutical from its original Greek meaning, which is: magic, medication, a spell giving potion, a druggist (pharmacist), poisoner, a magician, a sorcerer (ref. from The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of The Bible).
In the Scriptures, Galatians, Chapter 5, tells us that no person that practices witchcraft or sorcery shall enter the Kingdom of God. Listen to what Jesus tells us in the Book of Revelation 21:7, "He that overcomes all things shall inherit all things; and I shall be his God; and he shall be my son. 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 burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death."
The wisdom of man in our culture has many things to say about mental illness and ways to help those that do struggle with its affects. However, the above scriptures are clear. Taking prescribed drugs that alter your state of mind is sin!
Why are pastors and preachers not warning their church members of these facts?
