“You’re welcome here—not to be entertained, but to be changed by the living Word of God.” We won’t promise comfort or ease—but we will promise Christ, and He is enough. We won’t offer empty clichés—just a real Savior for real struggles. Welcome, and may you find the truth here.
Amen, Bros and Sisters — we’ve reached the final essay in the series “When Darkness Rules a Nation.” This one will be strong, raw, and personal, showing how what we consume — food, drink, and drugs — has become a demonic gateway to weaken God’s people. Let’s Go…
Welcome, friends. Glad you’re here; this final essay in the series will tell you about a world under attack by an ancient force that has faced little resistance but has received a lot of assistance in the slow but sure destruction caused by unnatural processes.
The Ancient Deception of the Appetite:
From the very beginning, Satan has used food as a weapon. In Eden, he did not tempt Eve with gold, power, or armies. He tempted her with fruit. (Genesis 3:6 KJV) says, “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Satan understood that the appetite—what enters the body—can also enter the soul. What begins as physical hunger becomes spiritual bondage. The poisoned table has always been one of his sharpest daggers.
The Modern Table of Poison:
In today’s America, the banquet set before us is not filled with the herbs, seeds, and living foods that God created. Instead, it is overrun with what Scripture would call “.strange flesh” and “forbidden mixtures.” The supermarket aisle is lined with chemical-laced packages, genetically modified grains, synthetic sugars, and lab-grown “meats” that bear no resemblance to what the Creator declared clean.
Drinks follow the same curse. Soft drinks spike the blood with refined sugar, energy drinks flood veins with stimulants, and alcohol still enslaves millions. Add to this the pharmakeia—translated in (Galatians 5:20), as “witchcraft”—where prescription drugs have become not tools of healing but traps of dependence. “For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived” (Revelation 18:23).
Demonic Gateways: How Food and Drugs Invite Spirits:
Here is the deeper truth: what we consume does more than damage the body. It opens portals. Demons thrive in addiction, lust, and sickness. Junk food weakens the body, intoxicants lower spiritual defenses, and drugs enslave the mind. These are not just “bad habits”—they are doorways through which spirits gain footholds.
- Obesity and Gluttony – The spirit of excess sits at the poisoned table, whispering, “One more bite, one more plate.” (Proverbs 23:21), warns: “For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty.”
- Addiction and Dependency – Whether nicotine, opioids, or even daily cocktails of “legal” prescriptions, dependency is a leash the enemy tightens around the neck.
- Altered States – Many drugs induce visions, hallucinations, and trances. These are not harmless—they are counterfeit spiritual experiences that invite demonic presence.
This is why Apostle > Paul wrote, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). A temple defiled with toxins becomes fertile soil for spirits of oppression.
The National Crisis of the Poisoned Table:
The USA stands as proof of a nation dining with demons. Rates of diabetes, heart disease, addiction, and mental illness skyrocket not merely from human error but from deliberate poisoning. Corporations profit from what weakens, while pharmaceutical giants profit from endless treatments that never heal. It is not simply greed—it is spiritual warfare masked as food science and medicine.
Millions now live in cycles of: Eat poison → grow sick → take drugs → grow weaker → need more drugs. This cycle mirrors bondage in Egypt, where Pharaoh fed Israel just enough to keep them enslaved. The American Pharaoh today is the poisoned table, engineered by unseen powers.
Fictional Exposé: The Banquet of Shadows:
Imagine this scene: in the unseen realm, a demon named Asmodai hosts a banquet. The table glitters with fast food, sparkling sodas, synthetic pills, and bottles of spirits. Around him sit politicians, food scientists, media moguls, and pharmaceutical tycoons. He lifts a glass and laughs:
“Behold, the people consume what kills them. They hunger for death, yet call it life. Their bodies grow heavy, their minds dull, their spirits clouded. Soon, they will be too weak to resist us.”
‘Friends, this is not fiction alone. It is the unseen reality—the table of America and much of the world.
God’s True Table:
Christ’s Soldiers, God has not left us defenseless. The Word teaches us to sanctify what we eat: “For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer” (1 Timothy 4:4-5).
We are not called to eat everything man creates, but everything God created in His design. Herbs, roots, clean meats, living waters, and bread made without corruption—these are gifts to strengthen the temple. Even in poisoned lands, prayer and discernment sanctify what is set before us.
The Call to Resistance:
The poisoned table is a test of obedience. To say no to it is to say yes to God’s original design. It’s You Who Chooses Your Table! He Gave You Free Will!
The table of demons is wide and glittering, filled with temporary pleasures but eternal chains. The table of God is simple but strong, filled with true nourishment and eternal life.
The nation has chosen the poisoned table, and it grows sicker by the day. But individuals—can choose otherwise. (Joshua 24:15) rings clear; “Choose you this day whom ye will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” The battle is at the table. Choose wisely.
Author’s Note:
‘Friends, this essay, “The Poisoned Table: How Food, Drink, and Drugs Become Demonic Gateways,” is the tenth and final segment in the series When Darkness Rules a Nation. Its purpose is to strip away the illusion that our struggles with food, drink, and drugs are merely health concerns or lifestyle choices. In truth, they are battlegrounds in the spiritual war for our souls.
From Eden to America, Satan has targeted the appetite. He understands that what enters the body does not stop at the stomach; it touches the soul. Eve’s bite of the forbidden fruit began the fall of man, and today millions continue that fall by feasting on synthetic, corrupted, and addictive substances.
The poisoned table is both literal and spiritual—a mix of fast food, processed sugar, alcohol, narcotics, and prescription drugs that open gateways to oppression, addiction, and despair. This is not accidental. The forces behind these systems—corporations, governments, and unseen demonic rulers—profit not from healing but from perpetual bondage.
The cycle of eat, get sick, medicate, and remain dependent mirrors slavery in Egypt, where God’s people labored without freedom. Just as Pharaoh kept Israel weak, the poisoned table keeps modern nations subdued.
Yet God has not left us without hope. The Scriptures reveal that His creation—plants, herbs, clean meats, living waters—are sufficient for both nourishment and healing. (Ezekiel 47:12), promises that the leaves of the trees are for medicine. (1 Timothy 4:5), reminds us that thanksgiving and prayer sanctify what we consume.
I write what inspires me in order to paint a picture of the condition that is hidden from our society due to spiritual blindness. As a servant, I hope that my efforts to put you first and myself last will reassure you that the Holy Spirit is speaking to you through my temple, revealing what’s going on behind the scenes and alerting you to any new deceptions.
The call of this essay is not just awareness but action. Each reader must choose which table to sit at—the banquet of demons or the table of the Lord. The choice will determine not only physical health but eternal destiny. Christ’s Soldiers are charged to expose, resist, and overcome, showing others that the path to freedom begins by reclaiming the temple God gave us! God bless and a peaceful and wonderful-day.
