Thank you for watching! ♥Let me know your thoughts and how I can pray for you! The purpose of this video is to: 1. let anyone who has experienced know that you are not alone 2. warn and hopefully discourage from getting into the same situation I was in 3. expose the ways that my new age worldview made me vulnerable to manipulation 4. most importantly, share the Gospel and exalt Christ ♥ all glory to God, the Redeemer
Sister your good person, your in a happy place now so forget about your past which wasn't your fault to begin with in the first place. I myself I'm a troubled soul so please ask god to help me 🙏 peace from 🇬🇧
Thank you jac for this. It must have been very hard to do this. I also came from NA and idolized Teal Swan and went to her events. It is truly desperation that drove us in these moments. Praise be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who saved us
All of us have the ability to recall our sin through memory, but very few of us would have the courage to watch a video of ourselves while we’re in the center of our sinful heart. You are so brave, Jac, for watching this video and for sharing it with all of us! You were such a young girl, so smart and so eager to understand your place in the world - that’s what I hear in your voice and see on your face. But there is also fear… So much fear! Praise God and thank you, Lord for saving Jac 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Thank you for guiding her to be a light in the darkness for the rest of us who are also sinners and who need to be reminded each day of the need for Christ in our lives and our hearts. As you repent while watching this video, I too repent with you for my own sins. Pride is so deadly and humility is so difficult… Sending love to you, sister. 💛💛💛
This is so deeply encouraging, sister. Yes, so lost outside of Christ. "Pride is so deadly and humility is so difficult" beautifully said! I praise God for saving us and allowing us to testify of His goodness, power, and grace 🥰✝
I was someone who was manipulated by a guy in an unhealthy codependent relationship. He was not a new ager but he was definitely unregenerate. It was a vulnerable time in my life (I was young and naive) and he took full advantage. I think it's past time that Christian parents with daughters start educationing them and giving them tools at a young age on how to navigate encounters with unsaved boys because they *will* be out of their parent's bubble and facing the world head on one day. We do no favors keeping them naive and ignorant. From my own experience and knowing other church girls like me, we were lambs to the slaughter.
thank you for sharing ! I was also abused by New Age Teachers. But we should not forget that this happens in the church as well and almost everywhere where there is an inequality of power like in psychotherapy. Abusive people are not limited to the New Age.
I relate a lot to what you're sharing around the 27 minute mark. When I was in NA, I was with a south American Ayahuasca shaman. I didn't feel comfortable with certain physical acts, but he talked me into doing them because they would "open up my lower chakras" and it would be "good for my spiritual evolution/consciousness expansion". I reluctantly agreed to it. He ended up being unfaithful, had intercourse with a young woman who came to him to drink Ayahuasca, and got her pregnant (she terminated), and gaslit me, saying that, basically it's just my ego talking when I get sad about him being with another woman, because loyalty is "just an illusion" and apparently all men cheat. It's predatory and manipulative.
My heart hurts as I read this, friend. Thank you so much for sharing. There is so much evil involved. I'm praying for you right now! If you ever want to talk, please feel free to email me. jac@jacmarino.com
I’m 5 minutes in so far, and you just mentioned why you would record yourself back then. I believe that is such a blessing and the Lord is using that for amazing things!! Just telling the story by itself is powerful, but to actually see it happening is even more so in a way. I remember your twin flame video and I already completely related to it and understood, but seeing the video clips that you included really drove those feelings home even further. I appreciate your vulnerability and honesty, and it’s so helpful for people like me. The Lord is truly using you for amazing things and I really admire you. 💞 All glory to God, I’m going to continue the video now but just wanted to tell you that :)
Thank you for having the courage and strength to share your story. Many others are going through similar struggles, and they need to know there is hope in Jesus Christ. You have a powerful testimony. Thank God for saving you and giving you new life and a heart of compassion for others.
Thank you so much for sharing yourself so transparently. Praise God that you were born again and that people can see the changes that happen when someone comes to Christ.❤
Jac, you are once again so very brave for sharing your most vulnerable moments with us. I just want to hug past you and pull her out of that swamp. Fortunately our Lord Jesus did that for you! What a testament to His glory it is to see the work He has done in you. Thank you Jesus for saving sweet Jac.
"He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." - Colossians 1:13-14 Thank you, sister! Our God is so kind! Praising Him for delivering us!
Before videos - intense emotions talking Nowadays videos - Peace of Jesus talking. So that witches can see the Renewal of the Mind taking place over time. Once you're lucky to be pulled out of the new age mess by Jesus who Saves. Yoga pharaohs go down ! Let Our People Go !
Thank you for sharing this vulnerable experience Jac. It blessed me by helping me understand more of what some of my friends are possibly going through.
Woo! I had no idea how many demonic deceptions and new age ideas have been a part of my life. Praise you Jesus for Jac, Doreen, and Jen! SO MANY questions about why and how and my reactions to moments in my life are being answered. That’s not to say Jac has all the answers but watching her actively dismantle her own experiences by subjecting them to the Word of God and testing every spirit is a beautiful ministry! Thank you for being vulnerable and taking the time to point us all to the one true God!
Aww, bless the younger you. A lot of us have been through this one way or another, and on top of that everything else that you'd been through 😢 I'm so glad you're out the other side, praise God.
Hun, I'm not sure if you are in a place to hear this, but that was S.A.; this was not your fault and I hope you heal from this if you haven't already. Yes, you understand it was wrong, but I hope you understand that that man sinned against you and it was assault. Take gentle care. ❤ I'm so sorry this happened; may God bless you and keep you and lift his countenance to you, and give you peace.
Thank you for sharing your story. I was deceived by the newage (rhymes with sewage) for a longtime. Thankfully Jesus set me straight. Id love to hear your thoughts about Teal Swan.
I'm praying for you and your husband as you review all these videos with us. May going through this and seeing all the pain of sin and pride in your past relationships, that were founded on lies and the god of self, help your marriage grow in the strength and truth of a life and relationship founded on the Rock of Christ. May these videos help others who have gone through similar experiences find the peace and healing that is only found in Jesus. May God be glorified through the gospel that you so confidently share, as you display for us the power that the gospel has to change the heart, life and desires of a believer. ❤
The overwhelming majority of New Age seekers are women. They're easy prey for the male gurus. You're story is incredibly common. I saw it happen over and over in Sedona.
Love your sense of style, hope to see more lifestyle content from you because it’s hard to find Christian influencers who have such a powerful testimony and don’t care about fame
Jac, no one is judging you - especially by your past. I appreciate you speaking about your manipulation. It has helped me to understand what our daughter must be going through. I’m so glad you found Jesus 🩵
Beautiful!! Love this and always enjoy your content, sister. It inspired me. Thank you for being vulnerable. It does glorify Christ! I would love prayers for my study of Revelation this year and some struggles I have theologically regarding the final judgment. Thank you! Praying for you!
How much pride is there in new age movement because of the accumulation of all that 'knowledge'. Yet, the only knowledge needed is missed : knowing (and loving) JESUS the Anointed One. Anointed to Save. Savior. Save us. Jesus. Please. (S.O.S.)
Please pray for me. I used to follow The Medical Mesiums teachings to the point it made me sick and I believe damages internal organs. I now see he is a false teacher. I am hoping God can heal me so I can resume my life healthy again.
@@JacMarinoChenthank you Jac 🤍 I relate to a lot of your story. Can you tell me anything about Sekhmet and your thoughts on her if you know anything about her?
It seems to me that it didn't help that we had the idea that there were people with much more spiritual power/knowledge than we had. So there was a different 'class' of people (mostly older guys) who we looked upto and we thought had all the answers. In Christianity there are of course people more developed in the faith than most of us, but we all have access to the Bible which we can check what they say against, and there are no mystical secrets some people have access to and others don't (that is bound to carry extra risks of abuse.) I bet if you had confronted him about his lies, he would just have made something else up to bamboozle you. X
I wish there was a country and city for Christians to live together but I guess that will be Heaven or will be the New Earth. It’s so sad. This world is cursed it’s like waking up inside a nightmare when the veil is lifted.
I don t say thi smto be unkind,its just that people are too quick to make excuses for bad behaviour,i mno saint but i would rather unalive myself than worship satan.
Mary of Magdalena was a New Ager. Every Saint has a past & every Sinner has a future through the Christ. Life only goes in one direction towards the Judgment Seat. I suspect police detectives & drama coaches could make effective use of your facial expressions before & after your conversion. It’s quite an illustration of facial expressions.

Man, the stark difference between you then and you now...praise the Lord for His mercy and sanctification.
Truly 🥹 it’s hard to watch. Praising God for making us new creations in Christ. The new birth amazes me…as does God’s mercy and grace

Been through similar trauma ❤
Aww Jac. ❤ Being a girl in this world is difficult in and of itself. Imagine it without the hope of the Gospel.
You are so brave to post this. God is using you mightily!
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences. I know it'll help a lot
Thank you for sharing, Valerie! I pray it is helpful and points to Jesus, the Savior ♥🥰

knowing (and loving)
JESUS the Anointed One.
Anointed to Save.
Savior.
Save us.
Jesus.
Please.

You have found the Truth! God bless

@@JacMarinoChenthank you Jac 🤍 I relate to a lot of your story. Can you tell me anything about Sekhmet and your thoughts on her if you know anything about her?
Its crazy seeing the old person vs new creation.
Thank you for your testimony I am glad you came out of that mess grace and thank Yeshua YHWH Yeah those spiritual narcs horrible
Thank you
Everybody luv Jac 😊

John 14:6
✨💞🙏🏽💞✨
What do you mean by 'the Bhagavat Gita was lying?'
Anything spiritual which is not of Jesus is a demonic deception.
I wish there was a country and city for Christians to live together but I guess that will be Heaven or will be the New Earth. It’s so sad. This world is cursed it’s like waking up inside a nightmare when the veil is lifted.
It looks like you have two different types of personality in that other video.
❤
I don t say thi smto be unkind,its just that people are too quick to make excuses for bad behaviour,i mno saint but i would rather unalive myself than worship satan.
If I had just known the Bible...
Mary of Magdalena was a New Ager. Every Saint has a past & every Sinner has a future through the Christ. Life only goes in one direction towards the Judgment Seat.

Jac, you get a big salute for being brave enough to share this and to be vulnerable for the benefit of others. 🫡👏👏✝️🇺🇸
