    Why do you think witchcraft is more "accepted" in culture right now?

    • @BreakChannelZero
      @BreakChannelZero 3 місяці тому +74

      Because Western society is thankfully less of a theocracy than it used to be. Let's keep it that way.

      Today, we are encouraged to accept others' choices, identities, and lifestyles. It is offensive to call out what we view as sin. Everyone is free to live how they choose, and we are encouraged to not only accept it but to encourage it. However, when it comes to Christianity, those rules dont apply. With that being said, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are not accepted as truth. Witchcraft "works" and produces quick results. Following The Lord can be hard and lonely at times. It may even feel worse or like you are suffering. Some prayers go decades with what looks like no answer or improvement. In today's culture, we expect to not have to wait or work hard or suffer for anything. While sin is almost effortless. Witchcraft is real, and it works. But the bill will always come due. It is better to suffer for doing good. Even as a Christian, I can see why Witchcraft can be tempting because we want what we want so bad. We sometimes fail to look beyond what's right in front of our face. So, Witchcraft can seem like a solution for our issue. But when you consider eternity, you can see no good will come from it. I'm sure I just offended someone.... and this is why Witchcraft is more accepted today. 😔

      Because people try to skim over it and make it look like a good thing, make it more "aesthetic." Everyone always fails to go in depth and explain details on WHY it's demonic. They fail to make it make sense to people who don't know better. That's why more people are led astray.

Father we believe that you have not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7) so we come before your Heavenly Throne and ask you will remove the desire of people pleasing and change the mindset that the enemy has given her. For we believe oh Lord, that she is destined for greatness, she is bold and apart of a Royal Priesthood! She will be used as a vessel and her testimony will change the lives of many. We also dismantle every altar the enemy has placed before her and we command that the you will release your wrath against the power of darkness! You deserve all the praise and glory and we thank you Lord for another day🤍.

      That's exactly what I was about to say just before I saw your comment. Wiccan and New Age is the fastest growing "spiritual" movement in western nations today. They owe their origins to the Kabbalah. It's not only a false faith but a self-destructive those who practice it and those who are closest to those people.

But I just didn’t something would pull me away.. And I’m so glad I didn’t God has always been in my life sometimes way in the back of my head deep down in my heart. I was raised in a Christian Pentecostal home/church. He was always there. I’m so glad He’s never left my side.

I struggled with my faith after a while and wanted to feel important and this definitely gave me a false identity, a “quick fix” for my pain I didn’t know how to process.

I started these common idolatrist practices in my 20s and the Lord delivered me this year from all idolatry because I asked him to. He took the desire for yoga, horoscope, crystal activations, waist beads, alcoholism, weed addiction and all forms of new age occultism from me! Im so much lighter and I truly experience the freedom of the Holy Spirit. I love not being bound by anything. Jesus is now my source of strength, understanding of myself and all things I lay at his feet. Thank you Jesus.

    • @chanelledk
      @chanelledk Місяць тому +7

      ​@@tinaturpin8612 Yoga is of Hindu origin. Hinduism is the worship of hundreds of dieties. Yoga art is created out of the worship of these dieties by posturing your body in their likeness. So every pose is a mimic of the idol. I tried to work around this for years...some of those years in ignorance, some in understanding. Once I began to draw close to the Only true and living God, and put down my own ways the Holy Spirit convicted me about the practice. Yoga poses are worship to invite false gods in causing me some of the torment I had to be delivered from. Once I was delivered, the Holy Spirit worked on me patiently to help me find the roots of my issues and sin. Once I understood what practices I did that invited evil into my soul, why would I continue doing it? So I can't continue posturing the temple God made after false gods and call it stretching. There are way too many spiritual implications with new agism. I dont want mixture in my house anymore and Im not giving way for Satan by any means. Trust me he looking for the slightest opening and I will not play his stupid game with my own life. I only want to be pleasing to Yahweh alone and I like being delivered.

    This is another proof of the fact that all of our testimonies are important.

The sovereignty of God to allow some of us to struggle with this in order to show the people still within it that we don't have to live that way. We can find salvation in the Creator and not His creation like we seem to try to do. He loves us that much and gives us specific other people to learn about God's love through.

    I’m glad this was recommended on my UA-cam. I was in almost the same situation, the crystals, tarot cards, astrology, astral projection. All that mess, but when I found out I was pregnant with my first child God immediately showed me I was sinning and I didn’t need to bring that sin into my childs life and it was time for me to come back to Him. Threw it all out. Then when my son was born God showed me so many blessings. Two years later I’m teaching my son about Jesus and getting into reading the Bible 🤍 First time I went to church in 8 or 10 years, I walked in started worshipping, it felt like reacquainting with an old friend. God is SO GOOD

Because how I got to even know about the book initially was by this random guy approaching me and telling me that his life changed after reading this book and made him rich basically. It gives me chills now I think about it. It reminds me of the devil tempting Jesus offering all the money and fame. Jesus knew the Word of God and I was a pretentious church goer fake Christian who did not know God and gave in.

      Crystals are just rocks. Our infatuation with them is because they are visually appealing and some are fairly uncommon. There's no mystical spiritual property to them inherently, and any danger associatedwith them comes from the meaning imposed upon them by the individual.for example, gold was used to craft idols, so was wood and many other natural materials, yet they don't have any inherent spiritually dark component in them.
      So therefore:
      -Stretching is fine and not spiritual.
      -Yoga is evil paganism that incorporates stretching
      -Crystals are in the same category.
      Opening a natural forming geode doesn't release or attract a demon.

    • @sweetberrytreatsshop
      @sweetberrytreatsshop 2 місяці тому

      Having crystals for the purpose of what most people get them for like, attracting money and success or love is having false idols. Thats why these people tend to end up having an altar of them. If they are just crystals to you, you wouldnt have them up on a shelf or table, but the practice of it tells people to put it near the sun to "charge" it making them unknowingly create these altars. The enemy tries to deceive people and keep their focus off God, but making them believe that a crystals will bring you blessings that you Normally would pray to god for. @RCinder

Whatever we use in the natural world we have to be careful who we pray to or dedicate it yo. Also our intentions. There's nothing wrong with crystal energy but once you start using it for ego or praying to another god... that's where the problem comes in. God Def created them for us to use but ONLY for his glory. Don't miss out on all the resources he's given us. It definitely serves a purpose.

It has been a wild 18months with learning more about how we're to worship through God's feasts, not man created ones!

    I have to push back on "The Four Agreements." It is a short and profound read on how to harness your ego and emotions in such a way that it's more of a psychological read. And God created psychology. I pray for discernment in my studies and for example, one of the agreements is to try to "not take things personally." Very hard for some but the realization is that it's ultimately about the other person. This is truth. Anyone who cuts you down, does something or says something to you or about you is only their perception and you shouldn't let it bring you down. Many times people do that to one another to "level" you down or to level themselves up. I appreciated that book.

    • @mombear5116
      @mombear5116 Місяць тому +4

      I agree. And would add that two of the other "Agreements" are complimentary to, if not reinforcing, God's word. Be impeccable with your word and Do your best. (The 4th is Don't make assumptions). The Four Agreements does not delve into Consciousness, as she said. I agree that it is more of a psychology book and helps in dealing with personal relationships and was quite helpful and freeing for me when I applied it to real life scenarios. I also agree it is important to have discernment.

    I usually don’t comment on videos however the part where she explained how her friend was Christian and praying for her while she was into divination/astrology hit home. I’ve had doubts that my prayers aren’t reaching Him and it’s tough because it’s basically a do or die situation (for the unbelieving and believing). I pray for the people who need saving or need to hear that voice - but sometimes God plants us in places to be that vessel of the gospel for these people. For me, if I’ve tried to plant the seed (not force), but just mention Jesus and the gospel, I pray and that’s all I can do for them. Sometimes I wonder if they’ve made their decision already, or if it’s not their time, or that my prayer life isn’t strong. This video really put on my heart to continually pray and just have faith that God can and will do what is best for the people who need saving, even if it means dragging them through the mud to shine the dirt off of them.

      "So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one." (Ezekiel 22:30)
      Like, here was God, judging an ENTIRE nation for their wickedness and getting ready to punish them. But before He would punish them He LOOKED for just ONE person who would pray and intercede for them, and He would have showed mercy. That's just so wild to me! God would've spared an entire nation if just ONE person would've interceded for them.
      I read that and thought, wow, how much more would He spare only one person if I prayed for them, if He was willing to spare a nation if someone prayed for them.

    i'm in my own journey and i do really relate to her.
    i'm at the stage where i'm balancing my new ageism with being catholic. i became catholic about eight months ago, and i've been into witchy stuff for most of my life. i'm into crystals, yoga, tarot, astrology, and the moon.
    i listened to the entire podcast and don't know how to feel. i know what she said about you can either have both feet in light but you cant have one in light and dark but my new ageism has been a part of my life since i was 13 (im now 28). i'd have a hard time letting it go.
    part of what brought me to the church was realizing that just because things and people can feel good for you doesn't mean they are actually good for you.
    i read all the books she mentioned and i totally agree with her, it teaches people that they are God and that they can create their own future, and I realized that wasn't true through my own experiences.
    as a woman in a patriarchal society, witchcraft made me feel empowered and seen. but i know that's the devil's hand at work. i just don't know how to let go of this anger i have towards men and the patriarchy in general.
    i think the hardest would be for me to let go of my attachment to the moon. to me it symbolizes femininity and intuition, and it aligns with women's menstrual cycles. it helps me feel like i'm not some crazy emotional bitch society might see, but some powerful intuitive wise soul. the Moon has been in there in my darkest hour.
    the Bible is male-dominated--i dont feel empowered by it. I asked Jesus to show me why women weren't his apostles and why they aren't in the bible so much, but all I get is a picture of Mother Mary and Mary Magadaline at his feet when he's about to die, and I don't get it. It's been a struggle.

      I really appreciate your honesty in sharing your struggle with letting go of some of the new age stuff and the appearance that God’s not for women, etc. I’ve experienced and wrestled with those thoughts as well. Two resources that helped me get a fuller truthful picture of God’s view of women and to see how he loves and empowers us, is: Jesus and Women by Kristi McLelland and How Jesus Broke the Rules to set you free by Sharon Jaynes. Sometimes we need guidance and cultural historical context to more accurately interpret the Bible. I’m sure there are more good resources out there, but those are a great start in my opinion. And keep relying on the Holy Spirit as you read the Bible- got to dig deeper but God did amazing things for and through women throughout the Bible and to this day. We have a place at His table.

I don’t feel that the witchy crystal stuff is in fact evil unless it’s meant to be used as such but if you believe in with love & light it can also have a positive effect in your life. To have such a “ pick a side” mentality can also lead us astray. I do think you can incorporate god in whatever you do & the higher power will guide you to whatever feels right & brings you the most peace in life. You shouldn’t feel guilty for being open & doing something that’s been helping you rather than following what’s helping others. We’re all on our own journey. Do what works best for you.

    Her testimony helped save me out of the new age. I was deep in the new age for 15 years, and my experience was very similar to hers. I started with a curiosity of astrology, and before I knew it, I was reading natal charts. I got deeper into the new age and believed reincarnation. I also believed I was a Sirian Starseed here to help raise the vibration of humanity smh. I got into ancient Egyptian spirituality, numerology, tarot, etc... In the new age, there are many truths, endless paths, and endless practices smh. So thankful Jesus saved me out of the "love and light" movement 🙏🏾

    The part that really got me was the statement “there is no mother” and when we quote scripture it’s also important to consider what version of the Bible are we referring to. From going thru a very similar process & constantly finding new information and thought forms to consider, I can tell like me, this person is still learning and growing. And like me, one of the parts of this growing process is feeling like in order to be accepted as Christian for example means that I have to completely reject one expression of religion or spirituality to fit into the constructs of a form of Christianity that also has a troubling past since being altered and religious doctrine edited. So I see the manipulative religious dogma in this conversation that’s just as concerning as the concerns expressed about other religious or spiritual systems. So it’s just replacing one experience with another one that’s equally laced with its own set of problems. King James for starters, the celebration of pagan holidays which are not Christian dates even, the editing of the calendar, the rejection and removal of certain books or editions of the Bible, the editing of our worshiping date… I am still learning and the more I learn the more I stick my foot in my mouth because everything is so distorted that it’s easy to go from one indoctrination to another with the intention of being loyal to one set of ideology and the more I see the corruption in everything, the harder it gets to being loyal to any set of ideology knowing that the one I believe in which is what Christianity stood for originally, is not the Christianity of our modern times. And that goes back to the subscribing of “there is no mother.”

    Jesus! This podcast has done serious damage to Satan’s kingdom by shining light on a broad array of New Age practices. This was not my first time hearing a testimony of someone delivered from witchcraft and the dark arts, so I thought I was pretty well informed about the big things. But this is the first time I’ve heard Yoga explained this clearly. It is encouraged by so many medical providers and therapists and has so many real physical benefits. I’ve been practicing yoga for several years now and always had my antennas up about “bowing to yourself”, and the sun salutation. I knew it was Hindu in origin, but had no idea that it was a spiritual practice and a prayer. This hit me like a Mack truck; I know this is the conviction of the Holy Spirit. My mind is blown on so many levels. Now I must rebuke the enemy and all manifestations of his power in my life as a result of opening this door to him. Thank you Lecrae for letting the Lord use you and Angela as a tool to set the captives free! This was fire 🔥!

Even though I was going to church, and sending out prayers, I would still believe my sign, and not want to deal with certain people, because of their signs, when it took me awhile to realize WE´RE ALL FLAWED.

We never ever think of anything evil and I think it's ridiculous that some people do. It's especially good for my youngest daughter because she's autistic and it really works for her behavioral issues as well. I just don't see what you guys see.

That makes no sense… it clearly shows medical benefits so regardless of religion, heritage and cultural stuff it is actually backed by scientific theory that it helps people more than hurts….. if someone says science isn’t real and that science is demonic because it explores how things work, “Gods” work, like I feel like we’re regressing, we know not what we do so how are you going to scold others because it doesn’t align with gods will… church and state are separate because of this…

The more something is repeated the more it’s adapted as normal because now it’s familiar. There is also a fascination with having power like God, it makes people feel special and elite. I pray that all who are deceived have their eyes opened and they choose to accept Jesus as their savior because he loves them and wants them to live with him for eternity.

    I love this interview. it has helped me realize a few things. from high school, i dabbled with zodiacs and horoscopes but didn't take it religiously (as people do nowadays). into my 20s i came across the enneagram tests and other personality tests. and this interview shined light on how the devil works vs God. the devil will work thru the conduits and give you a complete list of your personality and who you are. a lot of times it'll trick you into giving your insight to your future if you stick with a certain path. I find succor in the thought that God loves us so much and acknowledges where we are in our own lives that he is patient enough to give us line upon line precept upon precept and show us not who we are but what we are capable of. that is where true strength is found. it's trusting that Him as a source will lead us to greater places and enlightenment wherever we may be in life.
