As a former Charismatic, I can definitely state that there is almost no difference between all these teachings.
We should start a game „Charismatic or New Age/Thought?“ and show different short clips of some teachings and have the people guess
That's where I'm heading, been realising lately that my christianity is basically mysticism 😔. I no longer believe the charismatic movement.
@@daman7129 don't loose heart brother. Atleast your eyes have been opened to see that. Now believe and trust and God. Read the scriptures and make it a priority to be in a gospel centred church.
All shall be well😊
I'd like to see more former charismatics speak out against this garbage. I mean they already have the knowledge of the movement.
Agree totally it's a circus.
@@daman7129 take heart my friend Jesus knows your pain.
I now plead the blood of Christ over you and ask for peace and protection in this, in Jesus name I ask Amen.
I’m am so thankful that as a new believer I never ran into this nonsense.
New Thought. Wow.
Thank so much, Danny and Robin for addressing this.
We must be educated on what is out there to protect those we love from wandering into this heresy.
Another excellent episode from both of you! This is something near and dear to my heart because I have had a number of difficult things happen to me over the last 20 years, and some of them feel almost bizarre in how they've come about -- a freak car accident, my dad's death from medical malpractice, etc. I also have some chronic health conditions that make life difficult. But if I am going to praise and trust our God when things are going well, how much more must I praise and trust him when they're not!!!! And yet well-meaning Christians insist that my chronic pain is either the result of sin in my life or of my actually acknowledging that it is, in fact, chronic and that it is, in fact, painful. And when I tell them how very much the Lord Jesus has taught me through it all (humility, trust, the importance of BEING rather than DOING), even the praise directed to Him is seen as some sort of a negative confession. I expect this kind of foolishness from those who don't know Christ. But hearing from my brothers and sisters in the Church that my back pain is present simply because I acknowledge that I have back pain is really hard. Being told that my father died because I dared to be alarmed at hearing that he had sudden, untreated sepsis coursing through his body was absolutely crushing. But despite medical error and despite my own ill health, our God reigns, and it is not an act of piety or worship to lie in the face of difficulty or brazenly sneer at death.
This is probably the Long For Truth that I will share with the most people, and I thank you sincerely
Well said sis!🎯🎯💯🙌 Praise our savior, the LORD JESUS CHRIST who is HIGHLY EXALTED above everything and everyone!!!!!
God bless you🙏🎆🌄🌱
Same situation. The church’s inability to accept the fact that I have permanent autoimmune disorders that cause chronic pain and chronic illness was the final straw in my walking away from belonging to a church. Toxic Positivity and New Thought (which undergirds the Prosperity Gospel) are gutting the church from the inside out. They are also destroying the mental health field and sneaking into the medical field as well. Sadly once a person gets damaged by this parasite they are prone to not seeking help again because the damage runs so deep.
"Positive Thinking" is already around longer... It was actually a secular fad for a while. Sure one can 'christen' that as well, if one wants to.
@keelyEmerine-Mix, Can so identify with you. As a new believer many years ago, right away I started hearing God wanted to heal me of the pain I had due to spinal issues. I was born with issues then went through abuse in a Catholic orphanage after losing my mother. The pressure I allowed other believers to put on me to be healed caused more pain. After hearing often I had a demon, or some unconfessed sin only caused me to be more silent. I sought healing rather than trusting in the Healer. Oftentimes it seems those that aren’t healed walk a lonely walk when it comes to people. After waking up to the lies I was taught in WOF, I no longer believed their lie that God is not sovereign, and my outcome in life was up to me to receive all the promises. I just surrendered to the Lord, desiring His will above all. Even though we were taught that’s a lack of faith. My desire is to know Him, and trust in Him regardless of circumstances. Just tonight a friend asked me if I’ve considered deliverance, due to chronic pain. Believers can be thoughtless when it comes to suffering. May I always respond in love and forgiveness.
Please keep me in prayer, that God will draw me back in faith and repentance. 🙏
me too
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Trust only Him and He will make you holy, He will give you the power to live a holy life. He is already working on you since you know you need faith and repentance. Just trust Him to save you
@bossabassa364 amen. Thank you. I believe I have been. I've been delivered a few years ago of alcohol dependency, I stopped living a life of self harm, fornication, immorality, cursing, etc. I think I was having a wobble but love and appreciate the reply and amen🙏
@@amy6991A im glad to hear that bro it encourages me also! Thank God!
Thank y’all for this… I was raised in this nonsense and it’s only by Gods grace I’ve seen who Jesus really is🙏🏽
The sad thing is that most of these goof balls are on tv.
Great job Danny and Robin for exposing these people.
I'm not on speaking terms with the devil. I present my needs to GOD. I pray to Him.
I’m convinced modern Christianity just wants to be jedis controlling the force
Modern Christianity is a bunch of hermetical/kaballistic nonsense honestly.
Well put
Back when I was in the NAR as a kid, I used to think that the Force was the Holy Spirit in Star Wars because it knocked people over
Many false prophets shall rise and decieve many seems like an understatement these days. Finding good doctrine isn't very easy. Not only are there a bunch of idiots, but infiltrators and Intelligence angencies running some big ones.
Holy Ghost 👻 Jedis 🎉 😊
Yes many Christians that I know think law of attraction is demonic but slap Jesus’s name to it now you have the word of faith prosperity movement !!! That’s just my opinion I pray for my family we were born and raised in a word of faith church but God !! Opened my eyes amen !!!

@@BoksCar29 TSV shook me out of my stupor in our former WOF church. We painfully left our church family, realizing how entrenched they were in false teachings. I learned the hard way that the way is very narrow. But praise God He is seeing us through.
Yep, I have a friend who teaches at her church, a women's Bible wellness/ yoga class. She admitted that its yoga but they're "not allowed to call it yoga" and they do the stretches while reciting Bible verses and speak positive things into existence... I'm like 😮
Yup. I was a participant of that. The Lord opened my eyes. Thank you God! ❤
Thank you Dan and Robin for this content. Appreciate all the work that you do for the body of Christ "Longing for Truth." Blessings from South Australia 🇦🇺.

@@bronzewing1965 Hello. How are you? There are some of us Aussies following Justin Peters, Chris Rosebrough, No Apologies, Long for Truth, The Messed Up Church and such channels seeking for truth.
@@foundsheep Hello 👋. How are you?
Bendigo
....."...not to worship Him, not to put Him up as someone better than us .." ! oh boy ! pastor Greg is in for a surprise when he meets his "Way Shower".
Yeah, and he is no pastor.
WOW, may God open their eyes to His word of truth.
Whenever I hear someone say "Christ was not his last name" and "The only time we sin is when we forget our divinity" I know the person has been sitting at the feet of Richard Rohr. The Universal Christ.
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Long. I had no clue about this. It's scary. Thanks for your hard work.
Keep Longing for Truth - reaching those being led straight to hell by these deceivers and obvious haters of the Holy Scriptures which were God breathed (2 Timothy 3:16);
I pray God will open eyes to His Truth as He did for me and lead many to a Biblically sound church! Thanks again dear Danny and Robin… God bless!
Thank you Lord for saving me from this delusion-now that the scales are removed I’m completely appalled that I ever believed one word of it!!! So grateful to God and Jesus for sending me to a SOUND doctrine Baptist Church that hadn’t been polluted by the world! Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤I’m so sorry for my participation and thank you for forgiving such a horrendous sin!
I have to be honest here. This video was hard to watch. The amount of blasphemy, mockery, and wicked thinking coming from this "movement" is extremely hard to watch. Hearing and seeing people twist, distort, and misrepresent the Gospel is nothing new, and most of us are used to seeing and hearing it by now, but this whole "movement" rises to unprecedented levels. It's so hard to watch people treat our Lord and Savior as just another person. Saying He is just someone we are actually superior to makes me sick. I'm so sorry to the Lord for all the wickedness, hatred, and ungratefulness people show towards Him. God Bless 🥰
It was very difficult to watch for sure. I believe we are in the day of the great falling away. I pray for the Lord to come back soon.
I'm with you on this... the blasphemy is appalling!!
I was thinking the same thing. Normally I can tolerate a whole video of bad "Christian" megachurch preachers, but once it gets to outright casting God as evil and unloving and trying to replace him with their "enlightened" ideas that are based on nothing but their own foolish desires... it's too much.
What a bunch of sanctimonious self righteous hypocrites you people are.
The man "Jesus" was a human being with a sinful nature, just like YOU are....
If he was not, then ALL that he did for you means absolutely NOTHING .
Maybe you should actually "study the scriptures" sometime as commanded, instead of listening
to your FALSE teachers .
Start with this one......" Who in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications
with strong crying and tears unto Him who was able to SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, and was heard because
of his GODLY FEAR .
Although he was a son, he LEARNED OBEDIENCE FROM WHAT HE SUFFERED,
and having BEEN PERFECTED he BECAME the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him."
( Hebrews 5:7 - 9 )
Oh, and I guess his "temptation by the devil" was all for show........is that right ???
That is exactly how I felt watching it too 😞
Blessings To Both of You!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this excellent video on "new thought" movement. It was and is pervasive in many Christian teachings on TV and radio that I've heard for 40 years since being a born again Christian. You could say I've been saturated with it without completely understanding it all in contrast to reality..but to a degree believing that I was somehow missing the high mark as I bumbled along in my lower simplicity....
Bless you Danny and lovely wife Robin ❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 😊love the Pers...❤
This is the hardest video I've watched so far,the struggle is real
I agree. This one was painful. Just hearing these false teachers speak.
Years before I was born again, I was drawn to one of these Unity churches. What you said about their shallow beliefs resonated with me because I left because the people were just so shallow. There was no depth there. They were all of a wealthier class or at least striving for that. Very worldly.
Really appreciate all the time you all put in researching and compiling all this information for us. Thank you!
thank you Danny and Robin! It was painful to hear these people who are leading so many astray. So many to pray for....so many to love.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
New Thought, but it goes all the way back to "yea, hath God said" in the garden. And once again, Sid Roth is an absolute gull.
All I could do was cringe & shake my head & say “what?” during this entire video, these people are so lost. Danny & Robin thank you for all you do! ✝️🙌🏽
Always appreciate your presentations. Today's presentation on "new thought" confirms yet again the falling away the scriptures warned us about. So sad.
This is all new to me. It is so unbelievably twisted.
Tracey Burroughs from South Africa watching your video. i dont know much about this subject, so that you very much for this video.
Sounds a lot like Norman Vincent Peale the power of positive thinking and all of our charismatic friends today. The great comeback is as John MacArthur said, "If you think Paul is appealing, you will think Peale is appalling.”...'nuff said!
Notice Pastor Greg lady sitting to his right looks REAL enthusiastic.
😂😂😂😂
The big moment that my eyes were opened to this deception was when a certain former New Age teacher’s videos popped up on my feed and pointed out the heresy of what I was being taught for so many years. I thank God that she brought me back to reading His Word, to understanding the proper Gospel, repenting, and coming to Biblical Christianity.
Are you talkin about Melissa Daughtry?
@@Dsturb85 technically, Doreen Virtue. Melissa is another UA-camr that God used, so I am giving credit to both.
@@eladiocofresi5202 gotcha I follow Melissa I love her, she's a dear sister in Christ, I'll check out that other person you mentioned.
Dan and Robyn, you are such a blessing to the body of Christ
Thank you for your hardwork work
To think of how much you study, yet not dissuaded by volumes of horrible writings...
Wow! Not many people can endure such
It's really the Grace of God
May you experience Greater Grace
Blessings aplenty
I visited a charismatic church in the Phoenix area and one of the books they had was Think and Grow Rich in their bookstore.
Napoleon Hill was a necromancer, according to Dave Hunt
Thanks for all your research and work.
Thank you from Denmark, you are spot on, God bless you both, greatings Anni and Henning 🙏♥️
WOW WHAT PAINFUL PEOPLE TO HEAR FROM - THANK YOU A VERY GOOD PROGRAM
I found this so informative and interesting! Y'all do so much research for your videos and I appreciate it very much. Blessings in Jesus!
The two of you are just the most adorable Christian couple ever!! Such and inspiration and thank you for the excellent videos.....I'm learning so much!!!! I'm putting together a PowerPoint to present to my mother who is on her church board....the pastor's just visited bethel church and they said they don't see the problem 😢..... The whole movement is a problem! Thanks for everything the two of you do❤❤
Robin's back! 😊❤ Percy is cute terror 😂
Percy is so cute! The angelic photo makes it hard to see him as the little terror that you say he is😄
I love y'all so much at 1st I didn't understand why y'all where pointing out people and their ministry but now I thank you and truly love watching your content it helps us so much thank you both for the work you do for Our Lord Jesus Christ and His true people ❤ God bless you both ❤😊
Because God's word commands we stand for truth and against heresy thar deceives people that's why. Jesus called out false teachers, the apostles called out false teachers, 26 of 27 new testament books call out false teachers and God commands us to do the same.
Thanks for your channel! I learn so much from you two!
Very good program today. Thank you and God be with you!
Thank you Brother Daniel and Sister Robin and God bles yall also. Thanks for all the in depth research and sharing this and pointing out the truth while exposing these awful new thought teaching. Love yall and blessings too.
What is frightening is that this is not something that has remained in the hyper charismatic circles. I have heard rhetoric similar to this from Baptists, Nazarenes, Methodists and others.
Your puppy is absolutely adorable! Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Great video! Thank you for all the work and study you put into this. Scary how this stuff is everywhere.
You promised a good video Daniel and you delivered, thank you.
I lived in this NT world for more than 3 decades, attending retreats and spewing this kind of garbage at clients, friends and my kids. It was a waste of time as it did little to improve my life.
Thank you God for waking me up! I was in deep denial of the myriad sins and sinful ways that made my life a living hell. Now that I am free in Jesus, I have so much compassion for people trapped in New Thought, Unity, Science of Mind, etc. What they are missing while running from God is truth, forgiveness and hope.
Dan and Robin, this was excellent. Thank you for your hard work - it's much appreciated.
Well done you guys! 👏🏽 I can tell you’ve done extensive research.
Excellent video. I learned so much
It blames the victim. If you are in a car accident, you must have said something to attract it. If someone attacks you must of said something to attract it. How terrible.😢😢
It’s exactly what is taught in New Age, so damaging.
The Bible speaks against this behavior in proverbs. We are to do justice for the harmed, not side with the perpetrator.
Thank you so much for showing us the truth. I have learned so much from your videos
Thank you for the Percy update.
I came across your presentation a little while ago, having come out of this kind of teaching in the churches. I was drawn into the SoZo movement….that is evil personified, you might want to do a session on that.
There is one thing I’d ask, that you round of with a summary of what is the truth….what does the Bible say about healing or whatever the topic is. What you share is fabulous, and finishing with what the Bible says will help those hurting and lost after the abuse of these so called churches.
I really look forward to hearing what you present next.
❤❤❤
❤True, driving home the Truth is more important than the falsehood
Thank you I really enjoyed this teaching. It’s interesting to me where these teachings come from.
When I was going through a very difficult time in my life 20 years ago, I was encouraged by a few coworkers to go to a nondenominational church in Los Angeles, where I lived at the time. They told me it would be life changing. I grew up in a Christian elementary school but didn’t have any religious kind of anything at home.
I was hesitant to go to this church but did go and I was immediately shocked by its popularity. They had overflow parking lots. It was structured like any church service - a worship team, announcements, prayer and a charismatic “reverend”. I cried so much my first visit and apparently so did many others - there were ushers specifically tasked with handing out kleenex!
I had no idea what new thought was, but what they taught at this church jived with all the new age stuff I’d been learning from Oprah so I stayed for a while.
I ended up leaving after 9 months - the reverend treated Jesus as a prophet and I had enough discernment to know that wasn’t correct.
Fast forward 5 years later and after another difficult time in my life I was directed by some people I met to go to their church. Lo and behold it was a Word of Faith church and what the pastor taught was so similar to the Nee Thought church. I stayed for a few years until God in his mercy opened my eyes.
In retrospect, I’m honestly shocked by the popularity of the New Thought church!
As Pastor Chris Roseborough would say...."no true prophecies were harmed in the making of this video"...
Always cracks me up when they talk in old English as if that makes what they are saying makes it holy
In this late day, it becomes harder and harder to watch the clips you find, but so important to see. Thank you. These people are moving solidly into ecumenical movement even to the point accepting anything that they might feel is right. I see them in Matthew 7:21-23
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot.
Had no idea this movement existed.
I just started, slowly easing myself into my faith again after going astray for quite some time.
This shows why it's so important to find a solid church and have a solid foundation biblically for yourself so you can recognize blasphemy for what it is.
These people are extremely deceived . This video made my stomach turn . Nauseating to hear them speak these blasphemies . Love your channel ! Thank you so much for your hard work & research . Love you both ❤
Makes me wonder if the 'pastors' or 'church goers' have ever cracked open a bible. If they did it would become obvious very quickly how blasphemous this all is.
Love y’all! Keep up the great work!
My mom raised me on the power of the subconscious mind book. She also taught us astrology. It was my moms Bible. After Jesus saved me, He immediately helped me discern this as being false but it took years and years for my mind to be trained not to think about someone in terms of the sign they were born under. It’s a stronghold. All of this is a stronghold. 1 Peter 1:13 tells us to prepare our minds for action!
Another preacher that was influenced by Robert Shuller and Norman Vincent Peale was Joel Osteen ..As you can see with his teachings .He often said that Shuller was his mentor
Great topic Danny and Robin. Thank you!😊
Live close to Mile-High "church" and always aware is was bad but not specifically. Yikes that was terrible.
The term mile-high has a connection in my mind with something inappropriate. Oh dear!
Great vid as always, thanks both.
'New Thought' is the same thought the serpent spewed in Genesis. LoL
Terri Savelle Foy is featured on Kenneth Copeland's Victory channel teaching new age law of attraction.
This was a very `enlightening " video😅. Seriously I learned a lot from it.
Soo very sad, those people in the intro… list as a goose in a snow storm! Praying for them!
Thank you for this in-depth teaching Dan and Robin. Very much reminds me of new age philosophies that I was caught up in for a good part of my life. As an aside - your dog is sooo cute! Blessings to you. ❤
This is a wonderful video and very important for those who have not been exposed to eastern meditation practices like TM or Norman Vincent Peale (An apostate Presbyterian Pastor & author of "Think and Grow Rich", "The Power Of Positive Thinking") or the heretical Unitarian religion. etc. Which are all just a metaphysical mumble jumble tossed salad.
I have been watching these heretics mock, blaspheme God and deceive and lead many to hell for the past 45 years and this has expanded and gotten worse (popularly accepted). It makes me mad! God's mercy and grace for these people is exceptional. We are indeed living in the, Last Days! Get ready, Jesus will be coming quickly!!
I thought it was Napoleon Hill who wrote Think and Grow Rich, or did Peale authored a book with a similar title? Either way, I wrote above that Peale might have also influenced D. Paul Reilly, who I had emailed in 2013, to inform him that his religious ecumenism was doctrinally dangerous and that Jesus Christ is the only Lord and Savior. He told me not to email him again.
Will Robin be here????? Watching the intro.... So excited
Yes! Confirmed Robin sighting! She was spotted not too far left of Daniel!

Hallelujah, hallelujah!!
Always worth tuning in. Thanks for all your hard work.
Awe adorable! Please keep the Percy pictures coming.
I was in WOF and it was so exhausting and frustrating. I have found more freedom when I left this garbage. Thank you Lord for mercy
New age and new thought brought so much destruction to my life. But God reached me anyway, because it did one single positive things, and that was that it made me open to believing in God again. Now the rest of the story is long, but after many, many years, the devil’s plan failed. That’ doesn’t mean that he didn’t destroy a lot of things in my life first. But here I am, navigating and learning but never going back to the deception. I’m rebuilding my life and I feel content after years of pain. Thank God for opening my eyes using a New Age friend of all people. And for never giving up on me. I am a new believer yet I know this is the right path. 🙏🏼
Thanks so much for doing this video. Very helpful in our battle for souls and minds. Blessings...
I have callouses on my chin from my jaw hitting the floor! Wow!
Thanks for this very interesting video. I heard about German healer named Bruno Groaning (1906-1959) I don't know very much about him but he was well known in Germany after 2. WW. There are followers of Bruno in many countries even today. They have lifted him very high. I was interested in how these so called healings happen. Most likely through these mind games.
Some people do have freaky powers, but they can't offer forgiveness and salvation🌿
Don't think Groening was of that sort. More of a mystic that believed he could 'tap from a higher power'. It's weird, but I doubt this something like an induced placebo effect...
Yes, there are differences between what was said in the video and how Groening operated but I saw some similarities as well.
@@sinikkahammari7790 There'll always be similarities how people operate. Especially when it is about that 'working of miracles'. With those type of people there is also something strange happening as well as with the audience... Their adherents tend to become obsessed with them. And there is also a blindness over them.
You can’t separate Jesus and Paul teachings. Jesus is the way but Jesus ordained Paul to establish church doctrine and practice.
Paul wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit Who only spoke what the Lord Jesus gave to Him to instruct His apostles
Thankyou both soooooooooooo much for all you do!😊
It breaks my heart that these people are so deceived, and are deceiving others themselves. Thank you both for all that you do, your videos have really helped me in being able to discern false teachings and things to look out for. *Side note... the Princess Bride clip made me laugh!
He said, "Not to worship Him (meaning Jesus)???' This guy is not a Christian and is not regenerate. Period.
The outright blasphemy is scary. They have absolutely no fear of our living God. 😢How are they going to react when they meet their maker?
Capping this off with Kris Vallatton is quite apropos
It is safe to say that any of these people who think Jesus is just a "good prophet" and not to be worshipped by us, are going to bust hell wide open unless God draws them to Himself.
They could go right to Judaism or Islam for this teaching alone, but I guess so called Christians are more easily deceived.
Great summary on the subject of "New Thought Philosophy" and linking it to the "Word of Faith" movement!! Well done!
I did read that E.W. Kenyon was a disciple of Phineas Quimby and Kenneth Hagin was a student of E.W. Kenyon. As I've been studying Church History, one thing that seems to "stand out" to me is this: "Teachings" presented to Christians that are "designed" to cater to "itching ears" most likely end up being false teachings. I think this would be a great subject to do a podcast on.
God help us.....
I love your videos, could you two do one on Charles Finney sometime, and are there old newspaper clippings of his real revivals?
My mom and I literally fought over her telling me our words have power and I told her they don’t. She used the argument well if I kept saying negative words to you those have power. I’m so confused. 😭
@MrBungleCK thank you it does! She did mention speaking her business into existence and I’ve tried to explain to her we don’t have that kind of power. I mean she made her business happen cause she’s tenacious and a go getter but I don’t believe she spoke it into existence.
@@teamflowerninja am in the same dilemma too. Don't loose heart though
I cannot thank you 2 enough for the videos you’ve made. They e helped me tremendously! May God continue to pour His blessings upon you two ❤
I’m so glad yall are doing this work. May it be used to bring Gods people to Himself
To a degree they're correct. For example, if I sit and think unhappy thoughts all day, I'll end up unhappy all day. Where I take exception with these charlatans is that they treat God as if He's some kind of cosmic bellhop who will give them whatever they think of.
That's not what they're saying. Word of faith theology says your words and thoughts have power to create and destroy. It makes man sovereign over God. We're to renew our minds with God's word but our thoughts and words are not sovereign over God as they teach. Their entire doctrine is heresy and blasphemy.
@@TheJpep2424 I'm guessing you didn't read my whole comment.
