Hey Cici, the best way to learn about Jesus is to read the new testament, and then read the old testament to see him foreshadowed and prophesied about. There are also great, informational channels on RU-vid, such as this one (Steven Bancarz), the truth unedited, Mike winger, Melissa Dougherty, Kim cash tate, and Shine with Ryan ries! Hope this helps!
Hello sister! Watch this video. I watched this when I was newly Christian, and it helped me a of where my Christian lifestyle was going. I hope you gain something out of it. 💜 m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UyHnAKrDFNE.html
The universe is part of the creation as well as Lucifer and everything else that exists in creation. Doesnt matter who or what your talking to you will always be heard by the creator.
Ugh. I'm so annoyed with myself for being duped by the New Age. LOA stuff nearly destroyed me. It was on the verge of finishing that destruction before I found Jesus. Thank you Lord for pulling the scales off my eyes! 🙏
@QUESTION EVERYTHING ? I love your name! Except if you seek God with an open heart, not open mind, No need to question him! He gives so much clarity when u walk inhim and answers all your questions!
I feel the same a little bit now looking back and realizing how ridiculous all of this sounds lol. But this was my path. I practiced reiki for a short amount of time before being saved too. A quick google search of who archangel Metatron is to Christianity would have scared me off 🥴 I guess I had to take this route to know it was wrong. Thank you Jesus for giving me what I’ve been looking for my entire life, albeit sometimes in the wrong places 🙏
Please pray for me, I'm a narcissist trying to be a good person. I envy those who are filled with love and have good relationships with people. I'm tired of faking everything, it's so tiring putting up with these personas.. my name is Drake, may god notice me
Drake I struggle with that too. It’s most likely because you didn’t get enough love or attention of your own as a child. That’s just one example, you have to literally take time out and pray to God on your own, he will show you before you’re about to do something “narcissistic” try your best to stop yourself and he’ll slowly work on your heart and be gentle with you, well depending on what you you need. Even if you have to say it out loud NO DONT lol people might look at you but hey that’s someone who you’ll most likely never see again and will be a distant non thought of memory. I pray this helps you by Gods’ Holy Spirit drake. Much love!!
Do you know that most of the time people don't even realize they have these issues. Its God's grace that you know what wrong so praise God! Now He that started the work in you will complete it. Stay in prayers and please read the bible. God will gracefully guide you. I will pray for you too.
Drake God does notice you, He made you. The Bible says we are made by Him for Him. What's your relationship with God? Do you read and obey the word of God?
Licht kuran Wow. I’ve never heard a narcissist admit they are one. There’s always hope in the Lord! You know where your weaknesses are, so make the choice to change. Pray he will transform and renew your mind according to his will. Praying for you, brother.
Check out pastor Dan Mohler. God DOES notice you. Spend time with him in your prayer closet but desire to know him. Make him your everything and you will feel his presence. God desires to heal you of narcissism.
Yes, the new age has twisted everything our Lord has said. For example, Mark 11:24 says "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." I believe this talks about faith, as long as it's God's will for our lives. Thanks Steven!
@@demushka Hey, 2 verses before this verse in Mark 11:22 it says to "Have faith in God..", like Steven explains in the video the preliminary requirement that needs to be met before Mark 11:24 can work is to believe in God. The main nuance is your belief for things to occur is based off faith in God and the promises he says in scripture rather than believing "the universe" brought things to you as LOA says. Another key difference is that Mark 11:24 says that you have to PRAY to God and it is the things that are prayed for that are to be believed. But also remember that there are certain prayers that God will not answer, for example God will not answer prayers that are motivated by selfish desires (James 4:3) which Steven mentions at around 20:30 along with other very helpful scriptures. So essentially, yes we can believe that our prayers are to be believed but we also respect that ultimately if it isnt in God's will or if its motivated by selfish desires etc. God will not answer those prayers, in the end the decision is God's and he will grant us what we pray for if we ask the right things. (for example I can pray to have more Christ-like love for people and therefore as this aligns with God I should believe that I have received it!.) I hope this makes sense.
Not to like spam, but I'm posting as I watch - you're absolutely right about demonic trickery. Humans don't so much perform magic as they become magic wands for demonic entities. The pride humans feel though when they think they are mastering occult things is highly addictive and is hard to let go of - impossible without Jesus.
Yes, we humans become magic wands for demonic trickery. We think we have "control" but that's just pride, and a trick! Once they take over, you have no control, the demons have all the control. Like the tail wagging the dog, so to speak. Surrender to Jesus is the ONLY way 💓
Rose K so its said theres a retaliation for everything you get from demons when mastering whitchcraft. So now looking back, do you see all the bad effects caused to you by what at the moment felt work on your favor?
We humans are poor at assessing reality and good at rationalizing our experiences to completely fit a narrative we create in our own heads. Christ is a result of that poor ability to accept and assess that Reality. When we can't accept reality for what it is, we make up our own ideas to make reality less unbearable. It's not Jesus or god. It our brains doing this. We created the God not the other way around.
The Law of Attraction blew up with the book "The Secret", but not many know that the there's an earlier book by Esther Hick called "Ask and it is given; the Teachings of Abraham". I picked this second book up in college and read the introduction where she details how she received these teachings. Basically, she meets a spiritual medium (or something, I don't remember 100%), and she asks the spirit's name. The spirit's name was "Theo" (and I think there was an "Abraham" in there too?). After finding out Theo means God in Greek, she's convinced she's receiving the teachings of God. I got in the LOA as a Christian in my college years; some things definitely came true, but there was still something fundamentally wrong and evil about it. Long story short, a lot of things collapsed in my life, and also an evil spirit called a "destroyer" entered me. After a few years, I got deeper into Jesus and was delivered from all these things. But the crazy thing was that when I got into LOA, I had tried to convince myself that there was a "Christian version", and that the name Abraham meant perhaps it was Christian, or some nonsense like that. In my opinion, the biggest problem with LOA is that we are replacing the place of God in our lives. Instead of putting God on the pedestal, we are putting our selfish desires on that place, and trying to use "spiritual practices" to make them come true, without trying to find out or even caring about God's opinion. In this regard, it's very similar to the Prosperity Gospel (in that we place our desires above God).
I tried to be the perfect daughter, wife, sister, employee, friend. I did everything to be successful at what I did. I still ended up losing everything and becoming homeless. It was evil people that I allowed in my life that caused havoc...so it didn’t matter what I did, it didn’t go as planned at all.All my hard work ended up being for nothing. You can do all the right things and still everything can go wrong. Thanks be to God that I trust Him knowing that whatever I go through, God will turn it into good for those who love Him for His purposes. We are here to glorify God.
Not being mean spirited or anything , but Steven isn't a pastor , so it's not his role to "feed the sheep" . Although he is influential . He has 153 K Subscribers on this platform alone . God bless 🙂
1john4six tell me you are joking LOL 😂😂😂 ....this is a no from me dawg this has to be a troll acc 💀 “you have simply deleted 4 of your replies in a vain attempt to bear false witness”
@@luminemusic9430 actually it's not because of that at all. The ad is for a video calling the secret a hoax, hence the title of the ad :The secret behind the secret.
They have systemically replaced God with "The universe". So, instead of saying God will do this for you they say "The universe will do this for you". The secret or positive thinking isnt enough Ecclesiastes ch 9 ver 11 "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill, but time and chance happeneth to them"
D- Sean I noticed that also. There are some who switch back and forth during prayer saying God or universe, which does not make sense to me. God is almighty there’s no need to acknowledge anything else.
This generation is just pure hypocrisy . They hate God and replace Him with the universe that apparently gives them everything they want even if it's evil but say that God is wicked for not destroying evil from the world.
@@alanlars628 No, because ,to put it simply, GOD created everything He's beyond time and space, saying that GOD is something is you trying to fit GOD in a image, which we know that isn't right.
Excellent points. I would also add that the law of attraction supports "blame the victim" mentality. Its similar to karma which leads to the wealthy looking down on the poor and having no compassion such as in India with their class system. They really think the poor and the rich deserve whatever they get and wont help their poor. It's becoming more and more like this in usa too with the rich looking down their noses on the poor and this also goes directly against scripture where we are taught to have compassion and look after those less fortunate. God bless
@@brianchavez2829 exactly! I was just reading about John the Baptist today, he said if someone has 2 tunics they should give one to someone who doesnt have one. It's pretty simple, a kid could understand. But people these days would make all sorts of judgments about it. God bless
Yeah in contradiction to christianity that torture you forever, what a loving god, class system is just the typical hujman behavior nothing to do with karmic belief but i doubt they give their wifes to the rich for the first night like christian england used to. Without the pagan Greeks you would still be doing that ,guess who destroyed Greek civilization yeah christianity ,burned the temples broke the art killed the philosophers and priests,then law christianity or death and confiscation of fortune
I been a christian my whole life but became interested in New Age teachings a couple years ago as I started to get into self improvement. Recently through your videos I saw how much I was serving these teachings more than I was Christ. Brothers and Sisters, Focus on the only one that matters and that is JESUS. He is all you need.
Hello 2 years later ,just curious about the self-improvement comment . Do you think it's bad to work on self-improvement (such as working out and staying in shape)? What if we could do both ?Or I might've not understood it correctly lol
@Huncho Vic self improvement is great. I work out a lot and think it’s important to do. I was just saying I fell into some new age teachings and I turned away from that. Seeking to improve yourself is a great thing.
@@AYYYLMAOOOOO Wouldn't you say that God is the source of "abundant living" so we glory in him for the fruits of how he makes changes in our lives for the better.
Would you consider doing a video on "Spirit Guides" , "Guardian Angels" and "spirits"? 😊 I appreciate that you pay attention to details and you're so knowlegdable. You're a logical as well as a biblical speaker so things stay very clear from you and it doesn't come off as all "heebie jeebie" when talking about the supernatural. Thanks! 👍👍👍
Yes! From my personal point of view, I can tell that "spirit guides" are demons in disguise. And you can't (and shouldn't try to) contact your guardian angels. Only contact God. The main purpose of angels is to defend people against forces of darkness, not to give any advice to anyone. That power belongs to God. That doesn't that mean God can't act through angels in your life, because they do serve a purpose in God's plan. From what I know, they protect you and they may guide you subtly in the right direction. I'm not super knowledgeable about angels, but I can definitely tell to stay away from "spirit guides"!
@@helen1964onmusic Yes Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Jones, and Marshal Applegate said the same kinds of things to hypnotize their followers into oblivion and following a religion. Go ahead follow the words written down to control you instead of believing in God without religion.
Skye Bean They talk a lot about angels in this video, even though the title doesn’t explain it. :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n3hm3FFGdIA.html
thank you so much Steven, I have been seeing 22, 44 and 55 a lot and started believing in numerology but now I understand that I keep seeing double numbers because I'm so focused on it due to selective awareness.
I think it's actually not selective awareness. I see those numbers too and I never intended to watch out for them. I also recognized that my eyes get drawn to them and sometimes I even turn my head around for no reason, only to see a car passing by with double numbers on the licence. I don't doubt that the law of attreaction is true actually
Thank you for doing a video on this Steven! I can 100% attest that the LOA is bad news. I walked away from Christ and into this new age practice (amongst others) and it brought me nothing but more anxiety and disappointment. LOA supporters will say I’m to blame for it “not working”, but I seriously gave it my all. It wasn’t until I gave my life back to Jesus and renounced all of my new age practices that I finally found the peace and happiness I was seeking. God has blessed my life in so many ways and I truly am grateful. I am also grateful to you Steven, because it wasn’t until I came across your testimony that my eyes were finally open to the deception of the new age. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! May God continue to bless you and use you for his glory!
I also walked away from Jesus... 4 or 5 times! I tried to convince myself that loa was fine and had nothing to do with sorcery and asked the universe things, signs. I am ashamed of myself. Now I don't practice new age stuff anymore, I'll never look back. Jesus saved me once again from me following paths of my heart, that would lead me to certain death. Praised be Jesus Christ, forever, amen. In Jesus I found what I really needed, peace and the certainty of salvation for my soul.
Dear Jesus Christ, “Word made flesh,” “invisible God made visible,” I confess and repent from using the law of attraction to sin. This was clearly the effects of satan seducing me into pride and lust. I was lost and blind, wretched and pathetic. Please forgive me and help all to be free of deception and false teachings. Thank You for washing believers free from sin by your loving sacrifice on the cross. Thank You for resorting our souls to your wonderful design, renewing our minds and healing and filling our hearts with You. Please alert all who are deceived. Thank You for shining through your son, Steven, to do so. Please fill us to overflowing with your love, grace, and gospel that we may share You will all whom You place in our lives. Amen! Dear readers, I pray that Jesus Christ’s love renew you, heal you, guide you, and fill you to overflowing. Amen.
Spirit Science videos, and Ascendant being teachings fractured my faith so horribly. When I turned from God, I lost everything so rapidly. And still, I thought I was reclaiming some authentic self. But through recurring sleep paralysis experiences, I would cry out for Jesus to help me, and pray for Jesus to watch over my children. I know now that even though I was smug, and abandoned my practices and beliefs, God never abandoned me.
Steven, I praise God for your and your ministry in this new age knowledge, you're a Huge Blessing to so many people in this arena. The Holy Spirit guided me to one of your videos because of what I was goiing through at that time, and revealed a deception in my life that was trying to take hold, but thanks to you I was able to nip that in the bud and stop it. I rejoice in seeing your ears are restored again, you look great! God Bless you in Yeshua!
Thank you for exposing this movement. Law of attraction is pervasive among “Christians” in the form of positive thinking/positive confession. The “universe” god. Impersonal law/force. Manifesting.... etc etc... thank you 🙏
@@Brandaniron It's one thing to claim by faith a promise that God has said and is rooted in truth. It's quite another for someone to proclaim something they want that isn't rooted in truth and doesn't involve God but relies on themselves as the source of good fortune.
I got caught in the law of attraction and manifestation briefly as a back slidden Christian because I so badly wanted to change my circumstances of my life that I was not happy with. As I looked into it further I kept hearing no one say God or no one depending on God as a provider and I knew then that something was wrong but as I got caught up with it more...I did start to think what do I need God for if I can "manifest" everything myself...and not that I was but I kept trying because I did get small results and it started making me become obsessed because I was trying to speak over each and every little thing that came up in my life. I made some poor choices in my personal life because of it. Accepted negative things into my life that were "manifested forms of things I wanted but still counterfeit" I quickly became depressed and suicidal. So I stopped and my mind found peace. God forgive me. I repent I know the truth now. God is in control and I surrender to Him. God give me strength.
When I first heard of this stuff... I just thought they meant, "Hey, just focus on your goals and be confident and you are more likely to achieve them" type stuff[NOT because of outside metaphysical powers, but just due to natural better goal setting ect]. In some ways, it kinda sounds like that at first...which lures a lot of people in but it is clearly meaning much more than that with a darker side.
But they're goals? we set goals everyday and subconsciously "attract" certain things, if I was playing a game, we're winning right? we set the goal of winning this game, what your basically saying is that if we want to win the game we're worshipping the devil?
This is exactly what I thought, but I thought it was like a mindset like just putting in the work , until preparation meets opportunity. I saw it from a conor mcgregor documentary .
@@thesubmaster9935seek the kingdom of God and all things shall be added unto you. LOA is a mentality that puts a wall of pride up to God’s will which leaves us vulnerable to enemy attack
My theory on this is that Satan and his demons stole "the law of the harvest" from the Bible, divorced it from all of the other laws and commandments God ALSO has in the Bible and turned that one law into something backwards and upside down (as they always do) to serve the ego, and to deny God with. God was the creator of the law of the harvest. "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." When done God's way, within his context, you will be praying and asking for all that your heart desires, but always surrendering, by the end of the prayer, to whatever God wills for your life as Jesus did in the Lord's prayer. The Bible says "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." It also says "if ye seek first, the kingdom of God and his glory, all things shall be added unto you." Psalm 37:4 says "Delight yourself in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." The devil LOVES to take a kernal of truth and mix it with lies to serve his own purpose. Another way to know that the law of attraction has been tainted by demons is that all the sources of the law CHANNELED the information in by spirits. Madame Blavatsky, Abraham Hicks, and the writer of the book "The Secret" all publically stated that their source of info was from channeled spirits. Listening to and believing in channeled information is what's known as being "seduced by the doctorines of demons" Following the law of the harvest God's way leaves you trusting in his provision for your needs and thanking him for every breath. Following the almost identical copy of the law of attraction (but devoid of God), leaves you with a trumped up, bloated ego, trusting in yourself and your wants (when God says to "lean not unto thine own understanding, in all thy ways, acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.") God also explains that we don't even know what we should pray for. And the law of attraction leads to so much ego stress and strain trying to control and arrange everything. It leads to making the flesh stronger instead of the Spirit. God warned that there would be those "having a form of godliness but denying the power therof." They claim themselves as God or equal to God (like Lucifer did). I saw many who were doing great works using this law but denying the existence and power of the law-giver over creation and themselves. The "law of the harvest," should be used for the glory of God, expansion of his kingdom and as a blessing to lead souls to God. But by the "law of attraction" it has been twisted and used for the glorification of man's pathetic ego, and to mislead souls away from God. They stand with their dark egos blocking God's powerful light...and by doing this appear to shine as Angel's themselves. Get right with God and they won't look like shiny Angels but as merely those trying to block the light of God and steal the glory that is rightfully his. God gives us every strength, every ability, every breath, so not one part of us deserves glory for anything. If any glory falls on us, it is because of our association with our creator as his blessed child, humbly bowing our egos out of the way so the source of all true glory can be seen more clearly. Anyway, good job Steven. I was a new ager too and then was brought to the truth of Christ's salvation. Great job tackling this controversial topic. I agree with your assessment and logic on it but I think you may have overlooked the idea that the demons stole it directly from the Bible. I think that's WHY IT WORKS so powerfully for so many. It is God's powerful law taken out of it's proper context and isolated which dissasociates the law away from the LAW GIVER...and turns it to idolatry and witchcraft as you described.
Great analysis 😊 not only does the enemy want to turn us away from the Almighty living God, he also wants to BE the most high. The enemy wants to take His place and take the worship that rightly belongs to the Alpha and Omega. Your theory does make sense in terms of satan's MO and desires. Thank you for taking the time to add it to this video. God almighty bless you
Christian One I couldn’t have said it better myself. You touched on everything I was thinking... I used to be heavy into the LOA years ago and got pretty deep to the point I was listening to Esther Hicks... it is only now that my eyes are open that I realize she is channeling in demons and dark forces... oh...but what she says sounds real pretty...doesn’t it... until after listening to her one day I fell to the floor crying and I felt so sick... and didn’t know why.. having been perfectly fine just before.. when I stood up... I couldn’t speak... it was like something was holding my tongue... thought I may be having a stroke but I wasn’t... I wasn’t feeling weak or fainting... just an overwhelming feeling of darkness in me.. it’s hard to explain... it took me over 15 minutes to be able to speak again it was one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced and just like never eating something that gave you food poisoning again.. I never listened to her again... beware! They are channeling demons and dark forces... LOA removes God and has you worshipping the universe which is ridiculous when you really think about it... there is only One way to the father.. he is the way the truth and the life... and that is Jesus Christ... he will fill that void in your heart... I pray if you don’t truly know him you have an encounter with him.. open your heart, repent of your sins and ask him into your life... you will never ever be the same.. in Jesus Name.. amen 🙏 Excellent piece of work Steven.. thank you!
Wonderful breakdown!! It was having the same thoughts. As much as we want to discredit the LOA we have to admit that their is some power within it. That power is coming from the wrong source. It has been twisted and manipulated to serve self and not the true God. God wants us to come to him not any one else.
The supposed "Law of Attraction" is just a matter of faith and faith is a spiritual law. Even an unsaved person can use faith and the spiritual law works for them, because faith doesn't just work for disciples of Christ. It's not about the universe manifesting something into existence. The gifts of God are given without repentance so someone can receive a spiritual gift and be a full-fledged sinner while using the gift.
if it doesn't come from God then it will come from the enemy. There isn't such thing as "neutral" gifts. Demons can manifest and help with somethings too. The question is : On which side are you ? Are you with God or are you with the enemy?
christianity was forced by the sword so whole story is joke, without physical violence you wouldnt believing today and with out spiritual violence aka fear of hell you wouldnt either
I don't understand how anyone can buy into this idea. I had no idea supposed Christians are buying into it! I can understand non-Christians, but followers of Christ?! Mind boggling! I guess it didn't work for Jesus, did it? Nor has it worked for countless of His followers through the ages up to now, who are suffering persecution, prison, and death for their faith. It angers me so much to hear this stuff. Tell it to people who have lost a child or had some other horrific tragedy befall them, completely out of their control. It's false, cruel, and evil.
Perhaps they are false converts . And gosh how many are in that category.! 😬 Or they havm't done their research , or they are simply decieved by Satan.
I agree. That’s what is so insane about the new age. My childhood was very traumatic and volatile. According to the new age, it’s because I was a bad person in a past life. Pure insanity! It’s called the fall of man and people making bad choices (generational curses). New age is so self centered. What a bunch of garbage.
Yes this started my road away from the true God to the false god. It’s sooo easy to become trapped and addicted. I wasted soo much time, energy, and money with New Age. And I never felt the wholeness and love I have now with Jesus as my savior in that life. People please turn to Yah the everlasting Father. He’s calling his children.
I said many years ago regarding law of attraction, it’s the antithesis of following Jesus. We’re called to love without expectation because that’s what our Savior did. Law of attraction to me is so selfish. The opposite of Christ. We love because God has called us to love. We love others because He loved us first.
None of you who mock the rich young man who didnt bgave away his lands like jesus asked him, give away your small fortune. Never crossed your mind that he left sad not because he couldnt give them but because he understood the wise teacher was after his fortune
Excellent, well-supported explanations! I'm forwarding this to 3 of my Christian friends (2 are pastors) who insist that LOA is Scriptural and use it as part of their "mission to reach the lost". Please pray for them. Our friendships are strained and this may repair or dissolve them. Thanks!
Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart
Is that music from 'The Secret' playing in the background of this video. I watched The Secret like a zillion times and tried to do all that manifesting. It never worked for me. I'm so thankful God is my life now.
I’ve been praying almost every night for the past week for God to show we anything that will help me see if law of attraction goes against him or to show me that I shouldn’t be doing it. Thank the Lord for showing me this video and thank you for making it because I’ve seen lots of Christians talking about it on TikTok claiming that it’s mentioned in the Bible as a good thing. I will try and share this with many other people. We have been lied. I hope everyone is well and safe during these times may God bless you all.
RU-vid ads are selected by the YT algorithm not by the RU-vidrs themselves. Mostly based on the terms used in the title no matter if the video has the complete opposite ideas as that of the ad as was in this case.
My future sister in law refuses to acknowledge demons, evil, and Satan because she thinks that believing they are real will make them real. If she denies they’re real, she thinks that will protect her 🙈 She’s all about only speaking about positive things but it comes across as denial no matter the cost.
Former Things That’s very common in the New Age, the idea that you can’t acknowledge the reality of spiritual evil, because the only thing that makes it real is if you believe it is. That’s a really important and dangerous aspect of the LOA deception that I wish Steven had touched on. Calls to mind the saying “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.”
Juz a few weeks ago, on 29 Nov,I was celebrating my friend's birthday. Then we decided to do window shopping. I suddenly had the urge to visit my favourite bookstore, which I have visited for a long time. I was searching for the book 'The Baker illustrated guide to the Bible', and look through many books, for quite some time. Then suddenly, a voice (God) told me to get up. I hastily got up. I looked around, and saw a middle aged woman in the new age section, which is nearby the religious section I was in. I asked God, what do u want me to do? He told me to preach. It was my first time doing so to strangers in real life. I got up to the woman, talk for some time (she didn't put her full attention to me, but still answered my questions), and she didn't believe in demons. Nor have she heard of Steven Bencarz or Doreen Virtue (both former New Ager turned to Jesus). I told her my testimony, being former occult, amateur new age and Buddhist. She shrug it off, and some time later told me I come at the wrong time. Deep inside, I know God is perfect in His timing. We parted.
well fake stories are real only if you believe them , you believe blindly a story and your mind has been eroded so much from religion that you think thats a right and wise move
Honestly this has to be the absolute best message I've have ever heard about the law of attraction. The way you describe it and expose it for nothing but witchcraft. And revealing that these new age teachings have derailed us from a specific path according to God's ways. Thank you so much I love the Revelation wisdom that God has given you
I knew a woman in her late 40s with a low income. She daily stared at a picture of a multi-million dollar mansion, and was convinced it was inevitable she would be moving in before long.
I started listening to this and I thought "sounds quite rational, and seems to make sense". Then... then I started listening to "demons" and "god" and all that bullshit. I thought to myself: "So much insight about - the law of attration - and total absence of the same insight about the Bible, demons and God". This only demonstrates that we are all bias, and our bias have clear blind spots. I just hope my blind spots are less.
I saw the original movie that included Esther Hicks and the Teachings of Abraham. They were cut out of the movie that was released to the general public, even before the book was published. Esther Hicks was cut out of the original version because she refused to sign over her publishing rights. Without Esther Hicks, "The Secret" is heartless and soul-less. This has nothing go do with "metaphysics." I have been practicing this Law (the most powerful law in Universe) for the last 12 years with great results. Unlike all these "teachers" on this video, I don't charge anything for my services because you cannot afford to pay me what I'm worth. By the way, I am a minister. I've been walking with Jesus since I was 8 years old. My religion is the evolution of any religion. The reason people do not attract "money" is because everyone has a "cap" on what they BELIEVE they are worth.
Please always read the Bible in prayer, context and co-text. As they were passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. Being reminded, Peter *said to Him, “Rabbi, look, the fig tree which You cursed has withered.” And Jesus *answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. [ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions.” ] Mark 11:20-26 NASB bible.com/bible/100/mrk.11.20-26.NASB
Fennek I don’t see how reading that in context changed anything , also I find it interesting that we’re told to take everything in context when Paul to creative freedom with the scripture as well as Matthew
I am happy and grateful, you're totally right. The Bible is written in parables but these people are taking it literally and seem very confused. God bless brother

david adrean--I pray that our Lord keeps you on the narrow path and that you walk in the Spirit. Pray, repent and read His Word daily. God bless you, Dom.
Reminds me of the prosperity gospel “name it and claim it” and “speaking life” because if you dare say that you have a cold, you are “declaring a curse of infirmity on yourself”... some of the charismatic movements manipulate Holy Spirit in the same way that new-Agers use their metaphysical “force”... thoughts?
When I first got saved almost 20 yrs ago out of the new age I attended a charismatic church who taught the things that you mentioned. I had the discernment that it was the new age spirit (kundalini) spirit that was at work and NOT the Holy Spirit but very few would listen to me until the false spirit caused division and a lot of problem that the ministry totally fell apart. Often times it is the same spirit at work. We should all pray for the gift of discernment because we can all be deceived.
I was involved with Science Of Mind for awhile and at first it seemed the choice for me, however, it did not take too long before I noticed that I had been pulled away from Jesus and God. LOA is such a hollow path and the way that they teach people to "pray" is not actual praying but their own system of connecting to a mechanical universe that mirrors your intentions. It took me a long time to connect with God again and pray again. This "church" helped to disconnect me from God & I was on the outskirts and alone.
This is the movie that trapped me into the new age when it first came out .. I tried the methods and they worked ..I got everything I wanted by visualization and vision boards. And I was really good at it. I wasted 20 years of my life in this cult...which eventually led me to kundalini yoga.. But they don't tell you the immense price you have to pay for all the "manifestations". You don't get something for nothing, and in this case you pay with your soul and well being. Thank you Jesus for saving me from this 20 years nightmare. Amen
I used think the law of attraction was harmless but then I learned that there are evil spirits behind it. Now I pray to keep my eyes on Jesus Christ alone.
Glad u have the comments on, I've been wanting to say how much I enjoyed your & Josh Peck's book u reference. Also, as a former Metaphysics instructor who also taught meditation, & gave oracle & tarot card readings I hope folks start understanding the sneaky insidiousness of these beings & their teachings. I'll never be able to reach all the people I misled & am heartily ashamed. I even was a bible student before taking up this stuff. Stunning how easy it is to be SOOOO misled & truly damaged, but that is what they want. Thanks for the intelligent, non-judgmental sounding, well-researched evidence from scripture. It's been healing. I left metaphysics in 2016-7 & then found that Doreen Virtue had the same calling to leave. Many of us did in those last few years. I don't believe it's an accident. Through DV I found ur work. Ur vlog on eliminating items that could be portals for demons in the home & our lives was VERY powerful. Thinking I may have missed something, I went through my suitcases, as I have few things, & there in the pockets found a few mantras, lone oracle cards, etc...long after I'd purged the books, cards, ,crystals, incense...wow! I'd love to donate, but am currently on disability as I began not to be able to walk in 2016, & am headed for surgery in spring, but holding out for Christ's healing as I've had them before. Blessings to you and the viewers. May the new year bring much more people into the teachings of Jesus Christ!
But a lot of the points you brought up to debunk the law of attraction could also debunk the power of prayer. For example, I recently got a job. I prayed for Jesus to give me the job and I got it. But according to your logic, maybe praying before the interview caused me to go into it feeling more confident, and that confidence is the real reason I got the job.
Perhaps you just got the job prayer may Orman not have anything to do with it. If prayer were enough there would be no cruelty, famine or deadly wild fires. If praying makes you feel good then by all means but let's not kid ourselves into what it does.
The difference is...which spirit are you following. Ever heard of s atan giving musicians and such, talent and riches? But, eventually destruction comes in their lives because sxatan doesn't care about them. His goal is to get people on the wrong path, and away from the true G,od. Better to choose the one who actually cares about us, and wants us not to reject him. Choose to put our soul united with C,hrist, and have the good, eternal destination.
Exactly! He's making an argument an atheist could make in having faith in the creator. The only difference is that he calls anything he doesn't agree with demonic.
Such a needed message for the church. Years ago I was in a charismatic prayer group. Every week one of the misguided members would explain an aspect of how to get things with prayer. All were centered on some mental gymnastics that would insure that God gave you what you wanted. I would argue that this was a form of magic, not prayer, but I still felt compelled to go to the meetings. During one session, they all discerned that they were to begin a healing ministry, despite the fact that none of them even professed having a gift of healing. At that time, it felt like God said, "Gary, you don't have to go anymore." To which I said, "Thank you, Lord," and quit. Thank you Steve for your clear exposure of the ways that evil seeks to appeal to our flesh to pervert the truth.
Thank you sooo much! As I accept Jesus as my savior, your videos help me to get deeper and deeper into the understanding of what was/is going on inside me. I'm leaving these beliefs behind with a new joy and certainty of God's grace and mercy. Thank you.
Yep. My sister was a strong believer in this for no good reason whatsoever and she got into meditation and visualization to create wealth and in the process all but destroyed her mind. She's reliant on antipsychotic meds now to maintain her sanity.
As I was heavily in the New Age and I have been saved for about a year now, I have a short thought on this: The Law of Attraction at it’s core does work, and in a sense, I do believe that God uses a similar foundation to our walk with Him. Of course, there are deceptions everywhere and with all things that God does, but if you think about it simply - the things that are put in your heart, God will prepare you for them. He will change the way you think, behave, feel, etc in order to bring you to the place to fulfill specific parts of His overall will for your life. So, in a sense, you are attracting (or more so God is bringing) things into your life as you are being obedient and listening/growing in Him. Of course, it’s in His timing, but you’re still presenting these specific qualities and values that He has put within you. In terms of witchcraft and the law of attraction, I don’t quite think both of them can be interlinked. I think witchcraft really relies on outside forces, whereas law of attraction when “utilized” outside of the realms of Christianity is more so self-idolatry that is probably filled with purely settling and doing things outside of God’s strength. In all honesty, I don’t even know what kind of forces there are besides simply our own subconscious. What we think and have in our hearts tends to manifest one way or another. Example: If you’re casting a spell with the intention of having a girl/guy you know from work or something fall in love with you, you subconsciously know that, so being around them would cause your whole shift in energy to be that to attract and seduce them. Plus, with the subconscious confidence of your idolatrous spell, you’d probably seem more confident and attractive to the opposite party. And then of course, if it doesn’t work... well, you get stuck in a cycle of cognitive dissonance and suffering trying to do something to create this “thing”... You really can do anything you set your mind to, but it won’t truly be fulfilling or bring peace without God being the one to shape your desires. I truly think these New Agey deceptions are misunderstandings of how our mind works and how our subconscious effects how we are in the world around us. And I believe Christ fully was aware of that. Blessings!
Kaitlyn Bishop thank you for this sense of clarity.. we must use critical thinking and stop acting like psychology paired with our walk with God is the boogy man 😅
The Law of Attraction is not a new age concept at all. Contrary to common belief, the early Freemasons were Christians, NOT devil worshippers. They utilizes LOA on a very biblical basis, and considered it to be a form of prayer. The Bible says to fill your mind with all things good and holy, and the true idea is to express and feel love and joy, and God will bless you with more of those feelings. However, becoming too obsessed with material wealth can be dangerous, as the Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. All the esoteric, mystical, meditation, channelling, astral stuff is the new age "spin" on the whole thing which makes it deceptive and dark. Every success or failure you can ever have in your life came from LOA, but think about, Sidney Crosby didn't sit in a chair and meditate 18 hours a day to get into shape to make the NHL to play professional hockey, did he? Of course not. There's a small ribbon of truth in all of it but it's muddled with deception and flat out wrong info.
SuperTugz Yea, definitely how I lean in my thinking. I am beginning to think Freemasonry got perverted in a really sad way. I’ve learned a lot about certain cryptography in the Bible, and it’s pretty fascinating reading about that too. All the symbolism and what not. I think God loves for us to know more about Him and the inter-workings of the world and spirituality, but it gets wonky when people try to go outside of His timing, wisdom, and power. And especially doing so in physically, emotionally or spiritually unhealthy ways.
You are such a blessing. Logic, organization, clear thinking, warmth, understanding and humility. Very few people have moved me toward such conviction as you have. You’re a gift. Thank you.
Thank you Steven for more solid teaching and well thought out reasoning. Amazing how such error has crept nto the Christian church and is being used by the name it/claim it denominations. It's even sneaking into other denominations by those using positive confession to get what they want. When are we going to realize that God is not some magic geni who is here to do our bidding? He is our creator and demands our obedience, our respect and our worship. We are here to do His will, not the other way around.
Steven I totally agree with you, but couldn’t one argue that these arguments, such as selective awareness, also apply to Christian’s. ( signs, blessings, miracles)
I always thought of idololatry as a worship to some material statues or sth. The perspective you refered was very interesting. "Believing in a "mechanism" rather than the creator Himself aka GOD". I agree it feels like demons trying to get people away from worshiping God. I haven't though idololatry like that. It seems to explain many things
Soo bomb dude. I read “The secret” few years back when I was first saved and naive. As exciting as the concept was while reading I just couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t from the Lord.
I always thought it was silly until one day I contemplated my life. My hopes and dreams and my deepest desires. I thought, “wow! Maybe this is true?! I have everything I’ve day dreamed about since childhood, I manifested it!” I even told my husband. He was disappointed. But, now I know that all good things come from above. My father in heaven knows me and the desires of my heart.
Thank you for making this video. I was hooked into new age practices mainly the law of attraction. Instant addiction and obsession. It was what was in the place of god for me because I was having a hard time making friends and wanted to be popular how foolish is that. Everything took a bad turn when I started getting deeper into it and had some tarot readings along with trying to “ascend in my consciousness” I was possessed and when through about 6 months of phsycosis I don’t think I spelled that right but I almost died by suicide. But I keep holding on because I know that deep down there is still some faith in me and these videos help so much. God bless all of you please do not play with evil.
Thank you for making this video, Steven. I was moderately involved in the new age while still being a "Christian." Thanks to this video, you have revealed to me the truth about the new age and its lies. A little while after watching it, I had a reversion to my faith and gave my life to Christ. My life has changed for the better and I hope I can help lead others to Christ as well. May God bless you and your ministry.
I had the craziest thing happen to me. My professor in college had the class watch the documentary “The Secret”. My professor was a feminist, Crystal/rock worshiping hippy, and she was generally unpleasant to be around. On my drive home from class, I thought of my old middle school friend that I hadn’t seen in years. I made a stop at the grocery store before heading home and I saw that same middle school friend walking into the store! It was so strange, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I’m so glad that I know Jesus, because it felt like I was being lured into something sinister. Be vigilant, folks!
Hi Steven, Something that came to mind as you were explaining examples of the law of attraction being "fulfilled" for people who are led by a feeling and suddenly things are going right for them - I've heard similar stories told in a Christian perspective...i.e. the Holy Spirit leads someone to give money to someone who ends up needing that money, when neither could have known about the prayer/need. The concepts are very similar in my mind. So in a sense, aren't some Christians practicing law of attraction except with prayer and the Holy Spirit being the one leading people to do certain things?
That's right, except the Holy Spirit is God, and His ways and precepts are truth. The devil copies everything for 2 reasons: 1. He is incapable of being creative/creating because he was created. He is not God. 2. He copies in order to deceive. Everything has to be as close to Christian beliefs and practices as much as possible in order to deceive effectively. You will find that for every Christian belief/practice/ideology, there is a false replication in the kingdom of darkness. I hope this makes sense. God bless you Lauren.❤
@@koriribarsosio4174 Exactly right. He copies so closely to deceive people. What a way to drag souls into following the wrong way. This is a battle for souls.
Thank you for this video. It is very edifying and I shared it with a family member that I am hoping will take the time to watch it and understand. She tried to get me to read The Secret at one time before I was saved and even then something told me it was wrong. She gives the book The Secret out to everyone she meets practically! It breaks my heart that she is so involved with this sort of thing as well as fortune tellers and Mystics, oils for blessings, burning sage, etc. She claims to be Catholic (a strike on its own when trying to share truth in the bible!) but what she is is a witch and she doesn't even realize how ingrained into witchcraft she is! God bless you and your endeavors to spread the truth and the good news about our Salvation in Christ Jesus!
Thank you Steven, well stated. The clarifications you made about what the Bible actually teaches versus what the world believes regarding “the secret” is important for Christians to know. I have met so many Christians who believe in this, and there is a spirit or spirits attached to this practice that lures one into the trap of seeking “the secret” instead of The Father. Every good and perfect gift comes from The Father.
I've struggled with depression for the last year due to hormones and a very crippling pregnancy and getting evicted while 7 months pregnant. I have definitely not practiced the law of attraction is my point. We just bought an amazing house, and my kids are healthy and my husband has been amazing to me through it all. We were debt free before we bought the house which is going to turn into a better investment than we initially thought. All by gods grace. Not the law of attraction and not anything I did because honestly I had a rough 2019 and had to repent a lot for my attitude. Positive thinking is a good thing and will make your life much better than negativity but like you said the law of attraction is NOT a law. God is sovereign.
Question Steven, you say that the lottery winners all had the internal conditions to match the desired results (winning the lottery)but what concrete evidence you have to suggest that? I ask because according people who teach the Law of Attraction, it's not just about visualizing, or desiring or making positive declarations. They say it's about becoming conscious of subconscious blocks and releasing subconscious beliefs and blocks that don't serve the desired result. Therefore, it's not so much about the conscious mind ( although that is one aspect to it), but also about releasing unconscious blocks and beliefs that prevent the desired result. So how can you say that the internal conditions were met for all lottery players when we don't really know what their subconscious beliefs and blocks were before playing the lottery?
@@arthura.2587 Thank you but you are not telling me anything I don't already know nor are you answering the question. You are assuming that because the question was asked logic/rational was not applied.. If you apply a little thinking yourself, you will see the validity to my question and hopefully will prevent you from assumptions regarding ppl's questions.
If I’ve ever manifested anything it’s because I would humbly present my desires to the Lord and after writing down any affirmations or anything like that, I’d always follow it up with a prayer to the Lord asking that HIS will be done. I believe all of my hearts desires will come true according to his will and I know that anything is possible. I know my place in this universe and I definitely do not call the shots by any means lol
Sounds a lot like the heretical WOF church teachings! Loved your book "The Second coming of the New" Age" and I highly recommend it for all believers to read. I love your teachings because they are well researched and well articulated . May God continue to use your ministry for His Glory, amen 🙏
Y’all, so I’m currently leaving my church BECAUSE of this! My church is all about Prosperity, motivational messages (they advertise that on billboards!) AND Law of Attraction (Though they won’t call it that!). I’m from North Texas and no it’s not Joel Osteen’s church, but my Pastors know him personally. My Pastor is a part of that whole Word of Faith movement which is literally the Christian name and version of Law of Attraction. They have us sing those repetitive modern Christian songs produced by all of them new age “Christian” churches, they tell us that we should speak our daily confessions of things we want and have daily affirmations, and they also teach you that your thoughts and words will manifest things into your life. So basically Confess it to Posses it.🙃🤦🏻♀️ Honestly, the whole Prosperity Doctrine is just preached by all of these Preachers who are really just Law of Attraction followers and not followers of Christ.💯💯 But anyways, myself and two friends of mine are getting out of their ASAP! Any fellow brothers or sister in Christ from North Texas know of any good genuine churches or fellowship? 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Please let me know! God Bless Y’all!✝️🙌🏼
The pigeon story reminds me of the magic pie bush. A dog found an uneaten pie in a bush so he checked the bush every day for pie. He thought if he searched the bush every day he would get more pie.
Pennsylvania Combat Sports Yes, and the author of Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill, admitted in his writing that he had been visited by and taught Law Of Attraction by Ascended Masters, who instructed him to give the LOA blueprint to the world. And again, with Abraham Hicks, by her own admission it was the disembodied spirits she channeled who were instructing her on the Law of Attraction and compelling her to disseminate that teaching to the public. As a Christian, it’s a no brainer to see that we should not practice Law of Attraction, merely based on which spiritual beings put so much effort into trying to get us to do it. Just look at what company Napoleon Hill is in by being instructed by “Ascended Masters...” the likes of Luciferian occultists such as Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, Aleister Crowley, and on and on. It’s easy enough to draw a conclusion about the spiritual nature of a practice by looking at its spiritual source, which in the case of Law of Attraction is admitted to openly by its human teachers/channelers.
Pennsylvania Combat Sports Here is what the Think and Grow Rich author, Napoleon Hill, wrote about how he acquired his knowledge of the Law Of Attraction... “In my studies I have discovered there is a group of strange beings who maintain a school of wisdom. The School had Masters who can disembody themselves and travel instantly to any place they choose, to give knowledge directly by voice. Now I knew that one of these masters had come across thousands of miles, through the night, into my study. I shall not set down every word he said, much of what he said has already been presented to you in the chapters of this book, and will follow in other chapters. (They said:) “You have earned the right to reveal a Supreme Secret to others.”, said the vibrant voice. “You have been under guidance of the Great School... Now you must give the world a blueprint...”* * Napoleon Hill: Grow Rich with Peace of Mind, pp. 158-160
Just started watching I'm so happy you did this video it's so timely and was so difficult for me to find material AGAINST the law of attraction. It breaks my heart to hear and see friends, family,accquaintances so promoting and obsessed with this garbage. Ultimately they need the gift of faith from God and to make Christ their Lord and savior. But I really have been trying to figure out how to expose this (not on my own). Thanks again!
My dad believed this crap his whole life. He lost 2 children from suicide and 2 are alcoholics. It is the most selfish, disgusting view of life that has ever been. Complete opposite of what Christ teaches us. If anything we should be praying for OTHER to have this power. That would be more Christlike.for sure.
I like Mark 11:23-24 where it says things we ask when we pray if we believe we have them they will be granted. I like prayer because I always feel like if I pray for something wrong, God will protect me by denying it and bringing something better for me into my life. Thank you for posting this for us. God Bless.
Thanks for clearing this up Steven. When i started reading The Secret 8 years ago i thought this is biblical principles being marketed to a secular world. As i continued reading i didn't feel it was right as God is being left out. I never finished reading it but thanks for clarifying any doubts i might have had on it.
I always thought "The Law of Attraction" was BS, if it was as easy as wanting something then people wouldn't be poor, hungry, homeless, persecuted, etc. If you want something then you have to have the willingness to make an effort to get there, otherwise it'll always be out of your reach.
Thank you for this my friend! I thank the lord for what he is doing i. Your life🙏. I’ve been a born again Christian, coming from LOA background, and your content has helped me greatly. On my journey. Praise God🙏
Oh, the law of attraction is real no doubt about it. The question lies if its evil or not... I personally think it's not evil in any way whatsoever... Its a tool (hammers can kill people or build houses) . Use the law of attraction for good things not evil things.
@@beaverhausen1000 Same I have done many positive things using this law. including donating thousands to charity.. Building a successful business & helping others reach their dreams. I have also attracted girls into my life for the wrong reasons and realized I had bad intentions.. corrected my mistakes and changed my reasons. It's all the law of attraction and it's a great tool. Just model your intentions after Christ and LOA will be a tool for good.
If you're not a follower of Christ and if Christ is not Lord of your life then you won't see why it's evil. Spiritual principles exist. Some may appear to be positive. But when the source of that spiritual principle is evil then the principle itself is inherently evil too and will ultimately lead you into deception. Satan has taken spiritual principles and warped them to make mankind think that we (and the impersonal created universe) ultimately hold the power and that there is no need for a personal and righteous God. But that's a lie that leads people away from salvation. So sorry but you can't take something designed for evil and try to make it holy. Satan knows how to deceive man. You can't use his tools and think you'll still end up in the right place. The only way to see clearly is through Jesus Christ. Love in Him.
@Ayfayyy we do think about things most of the times, we do visualize also.... those are techniques taught by the gurus One way or another its in motion
Can you do a video on wicca, paganism and witchcraft? Wicca is presented very positively by lots of people as a nature based religion, and I was so close to completely submerging myself in witchcraft and law of attraction, thankfully Christ came to me and told me not to. Maybe a video on wicca will teach others it isn't the way?
😂 the weird coincidence I had during this video is freaking me out tho, I set this video to play while washing dishes, a few minutes in I find a pan had left a large turmeric stain where oil had pooled (turmeric stains are immediate, tough to get out, and worsen the longer it sets, I’ve become very careful to avoid them) over the years I have found the best way to lift turmeric stains is with baking soda/vinegar paste. Within moments of noticing it, I left my dishes with water still running, reached for the baking soda and simultaneously as I’m sprinkling it on this stain you make your first mention the baking soda/vinegar analogy. 💯 perfect timing, I had even previously started another video when I began washing, stopped it midway through and switched to this one, and could have left the stain until I was finished with the dishes as well, the timing of the coincidence kinda blowing my mind right now 🤯😂
Steven, you are so amazing! Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you in such a mighty way. Have you heard of the “Enneagram”? It’s a personality test that has basically infiltrated the church and the personality test has an occultic background. Someone did automatic writings to get the 9 types of personalities.. lots of Christians are taking this test, even pastors. It’s being widely promoted. Please look into this if you haven’t already! Blessings 🙏🏽
This is an excellent overview on this issues, thank you for doing this. I'm praying for you, for your protection as you put out content like this. And also linked this video from one of mine because I couldn't have said it nearly half as well!
I think it probably ‘works’, actually. They would argue, most people don’t practice the principles, which is why they don’t get the result. Though, I think there is a major flaw in that if you concentrate on what you want to that degree, when you get it, it will be disappointing and hollow. I believe this is the case, because the experience of imagining what you want is very similar to actually having it. So you’ve already exhausted the pleasure associated with it. “Consider it DONE”.
Meditation is referenced over 99 times in the Bible. What if you ask for something in prayer? That's ok right? There you just by passed "idolatry" this is so dumb. Prayer is the same thing. Whatever you do then, just add God to the end of it and you're good lol. Saying yoga is demonic is like saying stretching is demonic. This is upsetting. You can do things with God without it being demonic. You're influencing ppl in a really bad way here. God loves you and wants you to use your expression of identity in his name. You can manifest things with God. It's not evil.
dino russo I’m going to post a link to my friend Purvi’s testimony of what happened to her and how she came out of yoga and why. I think it will really help you understand why yoga is bad news
dino russo here you go, she tells her story here take time to listen carefully when you have the chance hopefully soon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6DZ7oz_fIq8.html
I am so glad that some believers in this comment section understand this. Steven is influencing his followers to not have faith in their prayers and that demons are more powerful than the most high God. He's using the same spirit he had with New Age to manipulate Christians.
This is exactly what I thought. Vision boards and law of attractiveness, to me just seemed like you’re just doing better. You’re setting goals basically. It isn’t some weird spiritual force, you’re literally just doing things better lol 😂 so of course you’re going to do better and therefore people will notice more.
Steven, I'm left fairly confused. I'm certain that when I was teaching LOA last year, I became aware that a "self saboteur" was making me depressed, feeling crazy with desires and choices, and then I realized my self saboteur was actually trying to kill me. Demons? I believe so but idk for sure. I thought maybe I have so much personal trauma specific to my self worth, it's creating a lot of dissonance when I try to align my vision of what would make me happy. I gave my life to Christ in February 2019, just a month into seeing how unreliable and dangerous LOA was, how NARCISSISTIC it is. So, this I understand. But I don't understand how God takes care of me, my prayer life to Him, and the Biblical view of it. I also don't understand God's blessings and miracles over demonic influence and manipulation.
I am newly reborn in Christ, because of scary stuff that happened to me after starting New Age practices. When I became a believer again, I prayed God to show me if an actual demon was oppressing me. I didn't expect to get an actual answer, but God gave me a clear vision of a horrifying looking demon in a blink of an eye. The vision was so unexpected and clear, that I no longer have any doubt about demons being real. Ask God for discernment and you'll start to realize how evil and dark forces work all around us and what sort of things you should avoid to stay safe. God bless!
Hi Gayla. I went through very similar things coming out of the occult. It will take time. It’s all on Gods’ timing and what he’s going to do. He will show you, he knows you better than you know yourself. I suggest you watching the beat by Allen parr and also last call to Calvary.
@@pippastin thanks for your support. I've been interested in pastor's who include casting out demons in their ministry. I need to search the Bible and study it and pray on this. I have one very close family member who believes Christmas is part of Satan's world and honestly I am confused by many things at this point in time.
I'm also needing a lot more basis for the demons influencing the yoga teacher looking for a job and her friend who needed something to drink. Calling that phenomenon demonic left me stretching to agree with that perspective. The other thing that stood out was the Biblical Scripture that God doesn't answer the prayers of non believers. A lot to think about here and follow up on. Very interesting topic! Thank you!!
@@ThrivingWithGaylaDGaia I am also very confused with many things, but I believe that God Will show me answer when it is time. I know God will give you answer as well. Study the Bible, pray and most of all surrender to God's will. One of the answer I got from God was to surrender. Just let go. When God talks to me, it's not an audible voice, but rather an "intuition" that feels right and a "thought" or a vision that comes out of nowhere. It comes so clearly, that it feels different than my own inner voice. The crazy thing is, the vision on the demon was different than what I had envisioned in my head of how possible demons look like. It was exactly what many others have described, a weird combination of a man and a lizard, with curled horns and scaly skin. It was terrifying, but I'm glad He showed me that and led me to find out many others have seen similar creatures to verify it wasn't just my imagination. Ask God for answers and I believe he will show you things, when it is the right time!
The biggest scam in the world is...promise something that people want...give them rules on how to get it...when they DON’T get it, blame the person for not following the rules.🤣
I'm struggling, somebody please pray for me to get through what I'm going through. I tried manifesting things through guided meditations and started earnestly believing that what I think about more often is going to come to pass. I now struggle with this terribly in trying to come back into a whole relationship with Christ. I fear, that I will lose my life if I accidentally think or don't control my mind enough not to fear losing my life. This spirit has been harrowing on me ESPECIALLY badly being a new mom, as it often makes me see life even more as a vapor and makes it hard for me to stand in where I need to be, in the moment and in every moment, for them. Like trying to find meaningful work is hard, wondering why I do it all even though they need me to provide their needs, life just seems like it could so easily end if I let go of that feeling. I guess the enemy is trying to make this seem like a premonition so I keep holding onto it. I'm not sure but I am scared still. Someone please pray this is literally hell and has been going on for 5 or 6 years and I know its wrong but I'm finding it hard to let it go and have peace and I'm still unsure how to let go and how to allow God to re-teach me in that space in my life (because I knew the Lord well before I decided to go rogue and try to get what I want by thinking I was my own God- by using the law of attraction.)
chiccflicc Sorry you’re going through that. All that fear from LOA about thinking negative thoughts sounds overwhelming. Just prayed for you. Hang in there.
@@rainbowgames1 Thank you so very much I'm needing it really bad. I've just received peace that I don't have to chase things in my life anymore but just to receive Jesus is all I need.

@@MzCalea21 Thank you so very much. Still hearing the Lord say He's not done with me yet. Amen!! Thank you for praying for me you have no idea how much I really need this! ❤
sometimes we are afraid, sometimes this “spirit of fear” overcomes us, and to overcome it we need to trust in and love God completely. “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18). No one is perfect, and God knows this. That is why He has liberally sprinkled encouragement against fear throughout the Bible. Beginning in the book of Genesis and continuing throughout the book of Revelation, God reminds us to “Fear not.” For example, Isaiah 41:10 encourages us, “Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Often we fear the future and what will become of us. But Jesus reminds us that God cares for the birds of the air, so how much more will He provide for His children? “So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:31). Just these few verses cover many different types of fear. God tells us not to be afraid of being alone, of being too weak, of not being heard, and of lacking physical necessities. These admonishments continue throughout the Bible, covering the many different aspects of the “spirit of fear.” In Psalm 56:11 the psalmist writes, “In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” This is an awesome testimony to the power of trusting in God. Regardless of what happens, the psalmist will trust in God because he knows and understands the power of God. The key to overcoming fear, then, is total and complete trust in God. Trusting God is a refusal to give in to fear. It is a turning to God even in the darkest times and trusting Him to make things right. This trust comes from knowing God and knowing that He is good. As Job said when he was experiencing some of the most difficult trials recorded in the Bible, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” (Job 13:15 NKJV). Once we have learned to put our trust in God, we will no longer be afraid of the things that come against us. We will be like the psalmist who said with confidence “…let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you” (Psalm 5:11
