    I have always been Christian always had that at my core but what changed for me was almost dying I was in the ICU for a month with leukemia 25weeks pregnant on life support came out of the hospital two months later and had 10 doctors tell me how much of a miracle I was and my son was and how what happened to me changed their faith and outlook on their “religion” or lack of a religion anyway coming out of that really caused me to dive into my faith. My son is now four and I have been cancer free for 3.5 years and every time I look at my son it assures to me my faith in God and his miracle he preformed on me and my son.

    I personally am not Christian, and have grown up in an atheist family. I’m in a place where I think there is something going on but not entirely sure what it is and what I believe. But I love watching these faith videos and instagrams from you to learn about what you believe and your views on things. I find it so interesting to find a real life viewpoint from someone rather than relying on the bias and minimal teachings about religion I had in school or the conflicting information online. I’m happy that you’re feeling a lot more content in your life since you have come back to your faith, you can see the positive impact it has had on you from watching your videos.

      I would bet that you have been told a lot about what is in the Bible but haven't read much for yourself, because it's a big book and the language is hard to understand. This was the case for me, so no judgment at all. If you're in a place "where something is going on" and you want to explore that a little, there's an app called "through the word." It's the audio Bible with pastors explaining the chapters one at a time as you go. I have learned so much this way. If you feel lost, there are answers in the word. I hope you find what you're looking for. All the best 😁

      You should look up testimonies....like "from New age to Jesus" or Jesus testimony. Even delafe films. Real people just telling their stories.... you'll start recognizing patterns from all these random people of how God moves in their lives. God is real, and He loves you truly.

You speak with empathy, understanding, & no judgement. Which is rare these days! Sometimes it feels like people can’t share their truth without being hateful toward the “opposing” group.

    As someone mentioned before me, my scientific education and the realist I am don’t let me believe in the existence of God per se. To me the Universe was created by the Big Bang and after that everything was evolution. However, I am happy that you are able to find purpose, peace and happiness through your faith, it’s what is most important ❤️

I really liked how you said that lots of the new age stuff doesn’t look bad and that the devil paints it as this “beautiful” thing! That is great discernment from the Lord and only comes form reading his word and listening to what he has to say about it. I also bought some of the devotional books you use when she had her $5 book sale and they’re awesome! I’m really starting to dive into building my relationship with the Lord and so many things I’ve felt convicted of when it comes to this world we live in. Thank you for sharing your story and continuing to stand up for things that are important to God on your platform 🤍🤍

    Thank you for sharing, Kayla! I was raised in an atheist family but have always considered myself agnostic and always believed there was a God and sent up prayers. I consider myself a spiritual person but never had an actual religion to follow. Your story resonated with mine because as a teenager I got very into the paranormal, loved reading ghost stories and all that. I have always been interested in tarot cards, crystals and things like that but always a bit scared of it too because of the lower level entities I learned about by reading and learning about the paranormal. So I never actually delved into any of that because it scared me too. However I have a couple of relatives that are into the occult, crystals, throwing things into the universe and I was thinking about them during your video. When a relative once told me how I could 'ask the universe what you want" that has always freaked me out so badly, I much prefer to send out a prayer or a simple "i wish..". To fast forward to now, I am 32 and have an almost 2y old daughter my husband and I are looking to baptise Catholic (my husband was raised Catholic). I have been feeling similar to Joe, interested in learning about the religion myself and perhaps doing the 2y course to become Catholic. Thank you for sharing, this video came at a good time for me and helped me understand God vs the occult much more, I never really understood the connection as to why it was forbidden before.

    First of all thank you for making this video and sharing your thoughts. I honestly had no idea these beliefs and practises can be actually harmful, it really never ever crossed my mind. All we need to do is pray, and what it’s meant for us will find it’s way. I think nowadays so many people are lost and we live in such a horrible times, life is easier in so many ways comparing to what it was a hundred or more years but I also think people used to be happier because they knew God and knew what to cherish the most. So thank you again for opening my eyes.

Due to my faith I’m not involved in most of the things you mentioned, but didn’t realize the meaning of “manifesting” or “positive vibes” or relying on anything other than God for the outcome of a situation. This definitely made me think. Super encouraging to see how God is working through you and your platform. ❤️

      @@cmilly2009 The Bible itself, which I have read cover to cover (yes all the genealogies) several times. I find issue with the inconsistencies, the lack of congruence with reality (eg the Noachian deluge), and the canonization of certain books/passages over others.
      Mostly though I find the genocides, slavery, and treatment of women as property (among other things) that this god condones and even directs inexcusable.
      If this god “knit me together in my mother’s womb” then he is to carry some blame for knitting my scientific and moral mind that cannot believe in him. If this god is so keen on a relationship with me why create a cosmos that looks so godless, as if he is a deceptive god.

    Kayla, this was a lovely testimony. And as a Christian, I share your realisation about new age spirituality. Luckily, I was only on the edge but I have friends that are deep into this and literally worship the moon! Self help and law of attraction lead to manifesting and are the seemingly innocent 'gateway' to really demonic practices. And they teach people to be 'Selfish' as opposed to 'Selfless'. They teach people to put themselves 1st as opposed to putting GOD and his commandments first. They compete with God and try to be superior to God by calling the selves GOD and telling themselves that they are the Creator as opposed to God being the Creator. It is very narcissistic and demonic. The Bible says that Satan will come as the Angel of light and that is what new age spirituality does.

    Kayla I hear you 1000%. I am a devout catholic.. I’d like to think anyway :). Our parish priest was an assistant to the exorcist and he would tell us the dangers of delving into the new age stuff. Like first hand experiences of people who were oppressed with the evil spirits they picked up from the new age practices and witch craft stuff. It is no lie!! Evil is just as real as good. And I always was sure to steer clear away from any of those things. it does sound crazy until you actually know people that have repercussions from it like I have! It sounds like you experienced a taste of it and I’m so glad you were able to realize what was going on. Thanks for sharing all of this. It’s definitely not talked about enough. Also I will add that many of these people that were experiencing evil things such as hearing people in their homes etc were not catholic, but guess who they all would call when they had issues? A Catholic Priest ;) He said a lot of their issues started with simple tarot cards, witch craft books, ouija boards.

    So proud of you for sharing! I’m Christian and even though Catholics and Christians are pretty similar I always wonder, when you were talking about worshiping other things other than God.

    • @NO-2121
      @NO-2121 Рік тому +1

      I agree, I’m a Pentecostal Christian.. and the Bible does say does say not to worship idols, in Exodus 20:4-5 also on Isaiah 45:20
      All those statues of Jesus and Marry and other saints they are all Idols. And Kayla mentioned about ppl burning candles for on rituals. Catholic also burn candles. Isn’t that the same thing..
      I was born and raised Catholic I’m not judging at all. But the Bible is clear on that. The statues on Catholic Church are made of wood, clay, and other stuff. If you keep reading on Exodus 20 verse 23 it also says do not make gods to be along side me, do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold..Like many tend to use gold crosses or even the image of Jesus. Those are all idols.

My heart always felt happy going to a Christian church. Just a few years ago she had a change of heart and switched to becoming a Christian. She did a house cleansing meaning she got rid of all saints and statues she had and she explained the experience as a weight coming off her shoulders, like purified. I don't judge the religion but that has always been a big no to me.

      The Catholic Church does not worship anyone but God in the form of the Holy Trinity. Keep in mind Ariamis, most of what you understand about Christ is because of the Catholic faith. Prior to the protestant reformation nobody had a problem with these teachings. We honor the saints and Christ's mother, but worship is reserved only for God. Whatever you think is going on in Catholicism is not what we Catholics are doing. I invite you to do more research into what Catholics actually believe.

      We aren't worshipping statues. As Catholics we only worship God. Jesus did not establish the pentacostal church. Jesus already made a Church. There wasn't any need to create the pentacostal Church.

    I agree that much of devils work doesn't really look evil. Especially in todays age they try very hard to promote it, make it look super fun and cool and make people feel strange or uncool if they don't participate in those things. I personally believe that a lot of it is hidden in the entertainment industry (music,movies,events,...) and also in "cultural traditions" which weren't really derived from religion. I'm not Christian btw (I'm Muslim) but I just like all things related to God as I'm really sick of this world where one is seen as uncool or backward or stupid for pleasing their Lord. Let's not allow this modern, fast-paced and shallow world make us forget about the real purpose. 🌸

      Yes. So, so true! satan is the father of lies and cunning and deceptive. Hes been observing the human race for a long time now, and especially Christians. he certainly knows what tactics entice Christians. All he has to do is get Christians believing a false doctrine. The false doctrines tend to appear happy, positive, and give you a powerful "spiritual" experience. A spiritual high even. What an easy way for him to draw believers away from the one true Christ, by leading them to believe that they are *the most* spiritually connected of all.

    I was born into Catholicism as well, although my parents never taught us anything about our religion. What really doesn’t sit well with me is how no one acknowledges all the dark history of popes and priests which is actually still happening, and people still follow what they are told by men that commit sins and get a slap in the wrist and they get to move on with their lives and for that reason I just can’t agree with the Catholic Church.

      Our beliefs and following the Catholic religion are not based on the people who are imperfect people in need of God's forgiveness and mercy. The "dark past " and even dark present being acknowledged doesn't have anything to do with your decision to not be a Catholic. Let's be honest, it requires submission to authority, something you would refuse to do, since you yourself wish to be that authority.

    I love videos like this and am so proud of you for sharing! I obviously have studied a ton of new age stuff, but also wholeheartedly agree there is seriously DANGEROUS stuff in there and understanding the roots/what to look for and how things are practiced are critical and not talked about - like ever - and was a huge reason I took a major step back from everything back in 2019.
    What you said "there was no mention of G-d" In the moon ceremony you had, is such valuable insight and a distinction not talked about enough. I don't think we can throw out all tools that have been infused into the new age world, because they were once given to us by God, just like I don't think we can throw out the bible because some people have misinterpreted it. I think knowing the history of where things and interpretations came/come from - because the occult inverted many things directly from the Bible - is crucial.
    It's easy - and a really smart entry point because i do think so much of it is dark af - to just stay away from the "New Age" stuff, like saying "stay away from crystals" - but I think at a point we need to acknowledge God put something like crystals on earth for us too. Additionally, many tools in the New Age world (tibetan singing bowls for instance, rooted in Buddhism which was before Christ's time) have also been co-opted from other cultures who have a deep Godly presence/practice that may differ from Catholicism and dates further back.
    Rather than casting out everything, I think it's just really important for people to have God in their life, call on that protection and guidance to discern. Whether walking into a church or a moon circle. I think videos like this are SO important in bringing people closer to that truth.

    I think that what Jesus *actually* wants from his followers is for them to have empathy - empathy for the poor, empathy for the sick, empathy for the immigrants/those seeking asylum, empathy for those killed by senseless gun violence (especially children), empathy for the gay and transsexual people who do no harm to anyone but are persecuted regardless, empathy for the people who continue being targeted because of the color of their skin, empathy for the child rape victim who has no desire or ability to raise a child of their own, empathy for the woman who cannot continue a pregnancy because her mental and/or physical health would suffer for it, etc.
    Jesus' message was/is one of love, compassion, and - most importantly - empathy. I think He is extremely disappointed to see his word being transformed into something it was never meant to be.
    Contrary to popular belief, Ronald Reagan is not Jesus. Neither is the Pope.

    I love where your channel has been going lately and so glad you’re bringing awareness to these things on your platform! It really is crazy what all you see once your eyes are opened to it. I have a friend from Africa that had to flee because he became a Christian and his stories are WILD. There’s so much more “witchcraft” type stuff there and it’s scary hearing how intense it can get. Also when I was in my early 20s my roommates harmlessly (or so we thought) played with a Ouija board one night and it told them all about their dad who had passed away. For months after that, one of them was absolutely terrorized by something and you could feel it in our house. She would wake up screaming and see shadow people and ended up sleeping in my bed almost every night. It’s crazy how harmless we tend to think these things are and they are NOT! On a positive note, it all 100% made me realize how real God is too.

    I had to comment because of the dream you had. I have always been attracted to the occult, but dont really practice anything now, maybe just some meditation, yoga etc, when it comes to the occult its just more of an interest I have. Find it interesting with symbology and the history behind them. However in my 20s I was listening a lot to this spiritual practitioner and one night after one of the sessions I went to bed and had this nightmare. A dark tall being stood over my bed and was pressing down with its hands on me. When I woke up I was so scared and turned on the lights, then one of the lightbulbs flew out of the lamp, it had broken off leaving only the socket in. I have often wondered if there was a connection or just a bad dream, but the lightbulb really got to me.
    I dont really practice anything now and dont chase a higher consiousness anymore, as I have realized that for me, I have to experience things in order to gain insight, a self help book or "guru" can show me the way, but I still have to get my hands dirty and go through life. Only that way I can build empathy, understanding and be humble to what life wants for me. Anyway, it was really interesting to hear of your experience, I really enjoy watching your videos.

    Kayla, I believe your testimony will come in time for someone out there. God bless you for it. Some time before I came to the U.S. I came across a book called "this present darkness" by Frank Peretti, which is fictional but profoundly realistic in showing the ways that we as Christians are surrounded by spiritual warfare all the time while we go unaware for the most part. It really opened my eyes, and I thank God for it, because really early on my years of college I saw how many of those seemingly innocent practices are embedded in so many things we encounter daily (like the time our Psychology professor wanted us to have a 20 minutes meditation and "opening up to the powers of the universe" session, which I opted out of). I truly don't mean to offend anybody by saying it, but sometimes when spiritual forces do come in a full force attack after someone, that person usually feels like its out of the blue, when in reality, those entities have been slowly getting the door open for them to come and claim a place/person/family as their rightful property.

    There are a lot of practices that have been cherry picked by groups or “new age” practitioners. Some of these practices are older than Christianity.

I am a yoga instructor and a lot of the “new age” practices resonate with me more so than Christianity. There is a shadow side to everything, even in Christianity. I don’t think anyone is wrong. There are so many religions and practices and the key is to respect them all with out judgement. The things that I practice are all out of love, light and good intention.
