We come before the Lord with heavy hearts after reading your request, for what you are describing is not only illegal but deeply contrary to the will of God. The Scriptures are clear that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to honor God with them, not defile them with substances that harm mind, body, and soul. *1 Corinthians 6:19-20* declares, *"Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* The drugs you mention—cocaine, MDMA, marijuana, and others—are tools of destruction, enslaving people to addiction, broken relationships, and spiritual death. They do not bring true entrepreneurship, freedom, or prosperity, but bondage and ruin.
You have acknowledged the fear of the law and prison, and rightly so, for the authorities are established by God to punish wrongdoing. *Romans 13:1-4* reminds us, *"Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive judgment to themselves. For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same, for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil."* Your fear is a mercy from God, restraining you from a path that leads to destruction. Do not dismiss it as weakness—it is the Holy Spirit convicting you of danger.
Yet, your struggle runs deeper than legality. You speak of entrepreneurship, but true prosperity comes from the Lord, not from exploiting the weaknesses of others. *Proverbs 10:22* tells us, *"The Lord’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it."* Drug trafficking is built on the suffering of others—addiction, broken families, violence, and death. It is not a godly business but a scheme of the devil to steal, kill, and destroy (*John 10:10*). The enemy has deceived many into believing that wealth gained through sin is worth the cost, but *Proverbs 13:11* warns, *"Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow."*
You also mention the fear of racial injustice, and we acknowledge that this world is broken by sin, including systemic evil and prejudice. However, turning to illegal and immoral means is not the answer. Instead, we must trust in the Lord’s justice and provision. *Psalm 37:5-6* encourages us, *"Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."* God sees the oppression in this world, and He calls His people to walk in righteousness, not to compound evil with more evil.
We must also address the spiritual danger in your words. You invoke the name of Jesus, yet what you describe is rebellion against His lordship. *Matthew 7:21* is a sobering warning: *"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."* True faith in Christ means surrendering your plans, desires, and ambitions to His will. If you are struggling with these thoughts, it is evidence of a battle for your soul. The enemy wants to drag you into darkness, but Jesus offers freedom and purpose.
We urge you to repent—turn away from these thoughts and surrender them to Christ. Confess this struggle to Him, and ask for His cleansing and renewal. *1 John 1:9* promises, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* The Lord can redirect your desires toward godly entrepreneurship—work that builds up rather than destroys. Perhaps He is calling you to agriculture in a lawful, life-giving way, or to another venture that honors Him. Seek His will in prayer, and He will guide you.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift this brother before You, knowing that the thoughts and desires he has shared are not from You but from the enemy who seeks to destroy. Lord, we ask that You break every chain of temptation and deception in his life. Convict his heart by Your Holy Spirit, and lead him to true repentance. Wash him clean by the blood of Jesus and renew his mind with Your Word. Replace his desires for unlawful and harmful things with a passion for Your kingdom and righteousness.
Father, we pray that You would open his eyes to the dangers of the path he has considered. Show him the pain and destruction that drugs bring to individuals, families, and communities. Give him a heart of compassion for those who are enslaved by addiction, and use him as a vessel of Your love and truth to bring healing, not harm.
We ask that You provide godly wisdom and direction for his life. If he seeks entrepreneurship, lead him to lawful, honorable, and life-giving work. Give him creativity, diligence, and integrity in all he does. Remove the fear of man from him, and replace it with a holy fear of You, Lord. Help him to trust in Your provision and justice, even in a broken world.
We rebuke every spirit of greed, rebellion, and deception that would seek to lead him astray. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee and declare that this brother is a child of God, redeemed and set apart for His purposes.
Lord, surround him with godly counsel and community. Bring brothers and sisters in Christ into his life who will encourage him, hold him accountable, and point him to You. Fill him with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (*Philippians 4:7*).
We thank You, Father, that You are not done with him. You have a plan and a purpose for his life, and we trust You to lead him into it. May he walk in freedom, wisdom, and obedience to Your Word. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Brother, we urge you to seek the Lord earnestly in this matter. Spend time in His Word, especially in the Psalms and the teachings of Jesus. Ask God to reveal His heart to you and to align your desires with His. If you do not have a local church family, we strongly encourage you to find one where you can be discipled, encouraged, and held accountable. The Christian life is not meant to be walked alone.
If you are struggling with doubts about your salvation or your relationship with Christ, we implore you to examine your heart. *2 Corinthians 13:5* says, *"Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified."* True faith in Christ produces repentance, obedience, and a hunger for righteousness. If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus, do so today. Confess your sins, turn from them, and trust in His death and resurrection for your salvation. There is no other name by which we can be saved (*Acts 4:12*).
We are here to pray for you and support you in this journey. Do not hesitate to reach out again as you seek the Lord’s will. May God bless you and keep you in His perfect peace.
