Shut The Front Door

Being trapped within the Pain Management System for over fifteen years as a patient and having the hindsight of having worked in the pharmaceutical field before Pain Management became a Retail operation has given me a unique view of the drug problem in this country that is different than the one you usually hear about. I have very little lived experience with illegal drugs, but I have a lot within the healthcare system as a patient and former healthcare worker. I experimented with a few drugs and used marijuana in high school and college but never moved on to harder drugs and I managed to be fairly functional in my life despite the childhood trauma I endured.

I was a great pretender until I met Jesus after climbing out of the lowest point in my life. The reason I am sharing this is because I truly want to help people and I must share that the Healing Power of Jesus Christ is available to all who believe, and people can TRUST Him for their Healing. I survived to warn others of the “Pharmakia” induced DECEPTION being thrust upon our society by the Status Quo.

Much of the STIGMA surrounding the use of Opiates is due to the fact that “Recovery” has become synonymous with overcoming illegal drug use because of the almost exclusive Focus on the Back Door to the drug problem in this country; while at the same time ignoring the WIDE-OPEN Front Door to the House of Dysfunction, Destruction and Despair. People enter in for help to ease their suffering; but, too often, it’s like Hotel California and your only escape is through the basement and a Guarded, Locked, Back Door.

I was able to escape, by the Grace of God, because I had His Light Source to keep me from entering into the Darkest, Boarded-up rooms but I was trapped there for over fifteen years. The constant flow of chemicals kept me satiated in the Haze and the only glimmer of Hope was the Flicker of Light in my soul from the Love of Jesus. He never left me, and He is the only reason I survived the Bondage. He guided me out as my Keepers protested my refusal to remain, and I just kept walking…

And where did Jesus lead me?

To the Highway of Health and Wellness, which led me on a journey through time, where I claimed my Spiritual Inheritance, for such a time as this. I am here to say, SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! and shine the Light of Truth into the House of Dysfunction, Destruction, and Despair!

Denial of basic facts in nature to gain honor amongst the Purveyors of Profit will put people squarely in the opposite corner of God. Examine the wisdom of our ancestors and do not be distracted by the messenger or the falsehoods spread by those who would sabotage one of God’s anointed for their own personal gain.

The people who profit off of the inhabitants in the House of Dysfunction want to primarily build a bigger house to maintain their position of power. They have created for themselves the means to maintain a never-ending supply of occupants to control and increase their own wealth. Through the indoctrination of our educational system, Big Pharma funded programs of study and many other ways, we have all been blinded by our trust in those who claim to have our best interests at heart.

The overgrown Medical Industrial Complex is the source of much of the drugging of America and no one seems to want to address that simple Truth. It’s not just narcotics! The over-prescribing of Psychotropic and other drugs used to treat mental illness, anxiety, chronic pain, learning disorders and almost everything has created a public completely bonded to their doctor, because many of the “cures” just maintain a status of dependent illness, which generates larger profit margins for those who are heavily invested in the overgrown healthcare economy. It's either Drugs or Shrugs and most people just want a quick fix to ease their pain and suffering while many providers are happy to oblige as they build their own Houses of Comfort. Hurting people are vulnerable and highly suggestable to those who are charged with helping them.

As an example, a young man of 23 went to a local clinic because his hair was falling out. He was prescribed Prozac. Thankfully he only took one, because it made him dizzy, and he had a dangerous job. He actually told the provider he was pulling some of his hair out because his boss was bipolar and abusive. No one should have to be belittled and berated on the job! It totally blows my mind how gingerly it was handed out to a young man with no realization of the side-effects. He didn’t even have a well-established relationship with the clinic, and it was a quick appointment, as they usually are. His family advised him to seek a different job which is what he successfully did. Obviously, serious mental illness, such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia is not what I am talking about, and those people need help maintaining drug stability to manage their illness.

I have no doubt that many would like for me to just go away. The Lord knows the truth and I have His Perfect Peace. I survived for a reason and sharing this is part of it.

There is a Spirit of Competition and Tribalism within this country. Different groups are competing against one another for the same resources rather than actually working together. Certain people refuse to work with certain other people, even those with Lived Experience! Leaders exclude and manipulate.

So much for unity…

It’s like the Mean Girls took over control of everything and won’t let anyone else’s ideas be heard. I am a weakened and damaged vessel but please know that I’ve already survived fires untold and I’m still walking by the Grace of God. So long as I have His Holy Spirit leading and guiding me, I am at peace.

People may call me names in their ignorance, but I speak the TRUTH. They were unwilling to talk to me, so they know not of what they speak.

If something is not done to Shut the Front Door on one of the major, underlying drivers of faulty attitudes towards drugs in this country, a never-ending supply of occupants will be generated to sustain the newly formed Department of Recovery created by the federal government to funnel funding through, which will siphon off hundreds of millions of limited dollars and filter the rest through an endless parade of evolving, anti-God Executive Orders currently being propagated by the current administration..

Remove the Boarded-up Windows and let the Light of Truth Shine for Everyone! Let the Healing Power of God Shine through His Divine Nature and Restore humanity to Reconciliation with Him.

So, go ahead and Build a Bigger House!

Build many! But bring True Healing through Jesus Christ to those inside!

But please, SHUT THE FRONT DOOR...!!
