I just had the veil lifted a few days ago about the new age practice I’ve been doing for 20yrs. These videos are so helpful for me right now. I’ve been praying repentance and forgiveness. I’m so grateful. These videos help me to feel less alone and give me understanding. Thank you ❤
Praise God! 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏
Praise Jesus....keep up the good work. Seek God and find prace❤

Praise God sis!! I feel compelled to tell new believers to check out Pastor Mark Kirk of Calvary Knoxville Church. He preaches on End Time Prophecy and has such a loving heart but not scared to tell the whole Truth! Also Billy Crone came from new age / occult decades ago and now is a pastor preaching about it. I’ve learned so much from his series. I think it’s called “get a life media”. Pastor Jack Hibbs is also amazing. (I watch online bc I’m now disabled) So happy for your new found faith. I’m seeing so many false teachers out there which the Bible warns about. We r truly living in the end days and the first thing Jesus warns about is to not be deceived. So much deceit in many churches - so many confusing denominations- Jesus hates religion. He came to be the way the truth and the life. Other religions are man made and build the self up. Stay strong out there ❤❤
A man I knew told me that his daughter that was married to a young man from Mexico brought their sick toddler to his mother who laid him on a table with a white cloth and “blessed” candles (the kind with “Jesus” or “Mary” painted on the glass holders) and she took raw chicken eggs and rolled them up and down his little body; and then she broke the eggs into a dish, all the while chanting something unintelligible! I should add that when the boy was 5 and his grandpa (that had been my friend) had died, he told me that, “Grandpa appears to me in my bedroom at night!” I had led his grandpa to faith in Christ so I know it wasn’t him!
Glad to hear about you leading someone to the Lord out of darkness. Thank you for sharing!
@@stephenconidaris He was an agnostic until the Sunday I invited him to church and we were singing that “Amazing Love” song where it mentions the scars in his hands, etc., and he looked at me wide-eyed and said, “He still has those?” I nodded and tears squirted out of my eyes onto my glasses and he began to cry too. That was the beginning of his faith in Christ which was just in time because he didn’t live long after that but before he died he called me to let me know that he knelt down in his living room and told the Father that his faith was in the Son, our Saviour. At his funeral I was dry-eyed while his family broke down and one of his adult daughters had to be carried out! But we don’t grieve like those that have no hope, amen?
I’ve heard her testimony two separate times on different podcasts and although I knew a week ago when I saw Stephen’s announcement I was still very excited to hear her testimony again. What a tremendous work God did and her life and praise God for her sister accepting what this pastor was saying. My moms family knew nothing of God they were upper middle class heathens commuting all kinds of sun, but good people until my grandmother had finally had enough of my grandfather’s disgusting terrible philandering ways and she left him it shook him he went up to where my dads parents lived so my paternal grandfather; who btw was raised by a very wicked father who was Hispanic so I often wonder if he was not involved in the occult anyways my grandfather met my grandmother who was raised very strict Roman Catholic they were Slavic and btw her grandma burnt all the papers she brought home from a foursquare church and threw them in the fire and she was always treated less than her brother and sister for converting. I’m getting way off track, but if not for my dads parents who broke generational curses and started a new bloodline a Jesus Christ bloodline for their family and because of their witness and being the absolute best warriors for Jesus I always say my grandfather was the second best human next to Jesus Christ who I’m 2017 at 91 went to be with Jesus. My mom’s family all, but one of her siblings became Christian then and one she believe, but she doesn’t go to church she lost her son I’m a car accident when he was 19 I was there, but the trajectory of my life and many family members were changed thanks to my grandpa Ferd Martinez and JESUS!!!❤
Thank you for sharing such an incredible story. God bless!
Praise Jesus Christ for your salvation! God bless you and thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Such a good testimony… and yes she is totally right about BLM being a spiritual movement before a political one😞
I need to correct her in one thing. Catholics have ONE GOD, NOT GODS. MARY IS NOT A GOD. ONLY JESUS, THE HOLY GHOST AND THE FATHER IS THE ONLY GOD (even though He is also 3 persons at the same time) 16:01
Then why do they pray to Mary and the saints?
@bonniebrown1566 it's the same as you asking people on Earth to pray for you. The difference is Mary and the saints are on heaven in a state of grace forever. Thus, their prayers to God for us (intercesion) may help us 🙏 but GOD is the one who holds ALL THE POWER.
@@AF-uk5ug It is truly not my intention to offend, but I have serious questions about Catholicism. I have dear friends who are Catholic, and I never ask them these pointed questions, because it has been my experience that Catholics cannot satisfactorily answer them, and the conversation ends in feelings of contention.
You say that you are asking Mary and saints to “intercede” for you. Yet the Bible CLEARLY states, with no room for other interpretation, that CHRIST is our intercessor. Period. There is ZERO indication in Bible that we are to go to Mary for anything. I am not disrespecting Mary (who was obviously chosen by God, and must have been a very virtuous woman) by saying we shouldn’t pray to her. Christ suffered and died to BE OUR INTERCESSOR. People were forbidden to pray to or bow down to angels. If giving ANGELS that status was forbidden, obviously praying to HUMANS who have passed would be forbidden as well. So how do you explain the practice, scripturally?
@bonniebrown1566 hello, I have answered you just now, but the answer simply disappeared. Have you received it?
No, I don’t see it.
God bless this sweet sister in Christ. Praise the LORD for His redemptive power!!!
There is hoodoo on Hilton Head Island,I know this because when I lived there from 1986 to 1990,in 1988ish after giving my life back to the Lord at 22 1/2,I got up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water and heard voices outside somewhere. I looked at the curtains and decided I wasn't looking out, and The Holy Spirit also told me after not to look out the window.
The next morning my husband and I went out to get in my car and across from my car, at the bottom of a light pole was a dead black cat at the end of a rope.
There was a woman who all 5 of her husbands committed suicide, I don't think so, that's called hoodoo if you ask me.
Anyway I never went to tybee island, they said it was full of it, I believe it because of the way the lightning danced there at the bridges.
I grew up in South Louisiana. Lots of it there too. I'm in Oklahoma now and thankful for that. I miss the beauty of the south but not the paganism.
Wow what a testimony 😮❤ Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
So many amazing testimonies on this channel thank you! The
History you provided was so powerful to understand the backround of everything you went through. I’ve been watching Billy Crones series in witchcraft and Wicca and explaining where it originated and made its way around the world. It really lined up w everything you spoke about. When people ask why God allows people to go through horrible situations, I honestly believe this is why ….the sheer amount of people you will and have helped to Faith with your testimony, book, website is probably such a high number. That’s why!! Praise Jesus for His mighty hand in your life and so many others. You are a beautiful and truly Godly woman. May He bless you always sister. ❤
#billycrone
I love listening to these testimonies on this channel. So encouraging and keeps me close to God.
Glad they're blessing you, thanks sister!
Gosh Steven, what incredible guests you have, incredible messages of redemption.
WOW. Thank you so much, Ivani -- and Stephen. There is so much clarity in how Ivani tells the story and it is so amazing to hear this story of how such terror that ruled Ivani and her family's lives was WASHED AWAY by the blood of Jesus Christ and turning to Him. I will definitely be getting her book.
Glad to hear it, thanks for the comment!
This is such an incredible testimony. I am praying for the growth of your ministry! ♡
I just found your channel tonight. This is the 3rd testimony in a row! I really enjoy your style of interview. Every one that I have watched i couldn't turn off. I love listening to testimonies! Our Lord Jesus is absolutely amazing!
Thank you for this testimony, for someone like me from the other side of the world (Poland) who has never heard of Umbanda this is extremely informative and interesting. Alleluja God bless you both!
Can you share the Brazilian lady's social media? I am also a Santería survivor
Hey there, all the links are in the description box :)
Thanks. Loving your videos. :-)
Amazing! All glory goes to our mighty, never failing God!!!
You are right . There is little of this African paganism in Australia. But , Aboriginal Dreamtime is similar. And , witches have glued themselves onto Aboriginal rights groups. Aboriginal Australians need many right they are treated badly . But, they do not need Dreamtime.
I just got a copy of your book ! Thank you for sharing your testimony. God bless you all .
Thank you brother Stephen. Keep putting In the work I know your channel is going to get much larger. I Pray Lord would connect you with the right testimonies and bless the work of your hands to make his name great. In Jesus name amen
Thank you for your prayers, brother. That is a huge encouragement to me. I appreciate your support.
You are SO BEAUTIFUL! I can hear God light & love through your voice 🙏🏼Thank you for sharing your story. AMEN 🙌🏼
Wow what a valuable and powerful testimony!!! Thank both of you for making this happen...❤
Yes, there was definitely a lot of negative energy surrounding this video. So much generational trauma that occurred and manipulation that happened. Thank GOD JEHOVAH and Jesus for he is good 🕊️
Great testimony ❤
This is so scary. You can never know what people are into. This woman before she was set free could be your child's teacher, the nurse or doctor you go to for help, your hair dresser, your baby sitter, etc. From now on I will be pleading the Blood of Jesus before I leave my home; since I have no idea who I will come in contact with, as people are never what they appear to be. Scary.
Abrahamic religions are for some people, but not all people! When a human being tries to propagate one belief over another belief, I find it to be ridiculous.
God bless this lady and God bless the pastor who didn't give up, her story rings so true and brings glory to the Lord Jesus.
Thank you for sharing your testimony, you are very brave to reveal the belief system and your terrible experiences with it. This helps strengthen my own faith in Jesus Christ as the true Son of God. Thank you Stephan for having her

As a Christian, born and raised, that is feeling really connected to IFA, can someone PLEASE explain to me why people (colonizers that spread Christianity via violence and subjugation), they could treat us to so much death, disdain, and destruction, WHY am I to believe that they were so concerned with our spiritual health that they felt they needed to make sure we were SAVED by their religion? This is a real question. Why am I to believe this was not about control and that they really wanted to help save us, when their actions prove otherwise. This is a REAL question. As I searched to confirm the beliefs that were instilled in me as a child, I have come away NOT convinced. That shake in my conviction started with the facts I have learned about the Nicea Counsel, King James, etc. This is a real question, I'm not looking to debate, I am looking for answers.
First of all. Real “Christian”’s are not born and raised. You may have been born into a family of “Christian”’s but no one is just born a Christian. I true Christian has been born again after truly seeing and recognizing their sin and subsequently seeing their need of a savior. A true Christian has repented, has died to their old self and has been reborn into a life with Christ being led by the Holy Spirit. Secondly, not everyone who calls themselves a Christian is actually a Christian. Christ said Himself that we will know true believers by their fruit.
God bless.
A wonderful testimony.
With all THESE mediums you HAVE on , aside FROM their stereotypical hauntings it's NEVER been made crystal clear on any channel just exactly how THEY receive information......what do they hear or WHAT comes through THEM.....now dreams are no joke, in dreams you hear AND see things that yoy don't understand where it came from and that in a MILLION days you couldn't come up with.....is ut LIKE that, your in a unconscious DREAM state and tbe information just comes there
Is the power of positive thinking a sound book for the first step of my journey or is it new age christianty,(a no no),should I go strait to Bible and videos,or buy a Bible study book?
I have been having terrible sleep paralysis dreams of being held down and sodomised by a see through thing,this is not a joke,wht do I do.?
Dont get that book- go STRAIGHT to the Bible and only serve Jesus❤
You need a bible and deliverence prayers. Renounce, repent, and shut all doors to Satan by the blood of Jesus Christ!
It is a new age practice, jesus already has said, what u sow, u will reap, bible says life and death is in the power of the tongue. Beyond that any book is jus going to deviate your mind to belive in universe and not the one who created the universe.
This was very informative about the BLM!!
