thank you Jesus and Linda. Love you!
This world is so messed up I’m willing to bet everything you see all around the world in some way has some biblical background significance and connection because all things was made by Jesus and for him therefore every other religion basically has built perversions in every respect. Honestly they may have taken over Zion to the extent that it’s been seen as mystery Babylon. Zion might be what the monks call shangralah although it’s an idea yet again it maybe that it’s totally disregarded today Jesus speaks of the new heaven and new earth so important to understand he made his word known unto babes and not to the wise or prudent as churches of god walking the earth we need to really be serious about humility and seeking him. Mystery babylon can be anything idol centered including false doctrines in churches man making there own theological conclusions. Far distant lands as well associated with idols so many things. Think of it this way a individual lost in the world not connected to any religion gets under a tree and becomes what they call enlightened or kundalini or whatever else the world creates names for how can this person be forgotten if he’s never heard the gospel in his life or dwells on any foundation so many things to think about I guess. Just to clarify one last thing Jesus said the kingdom of heaven suffered violence and the violent take it by force so thereby showing there is more to this story. Just like in the psalms talking about destroying the idols of the high places they knew about this stuff up there in the high places. This world is going to have a rude awakening there is only one god. I deep down fear god that’s why I haven’t jumped into kundalini on a wim and I still haven’t. I had a song come on the radio talking about a highway to hell one day when I was focused on going through with it so honestly idk if this is something for me. Jesus loves me and has my back no matter what and he loves us all just be careful lady seriously think about this stuff careful. Life after death is so important more important than anything we can be doing here
Please share your personal experiences did you have anything happen in the spine? Like a explosion
I have not - I avoid Kundalini practices and meditations that lead to dissociation. I have had many experiences where I felt the presence of God with me during practice.
@ I was curious about that I’ve been tempted heavily as the energy felt intense. I was curious about this. Infact I have a lot of these things memorized. From my experience laying in different positions makes me feel an energy down there. As I said I been struggling with it for awhile and heavily tempted, looking for reasons for why it might have a connection to something more intimate with Jesus. I was looking into Isiah he literally says how is the faithful city become a harlot! Righteous lodged in it now murders and we look at mystery Babylon. It almost makes you wonder because Zachariah says Zion was dwelling with Babylon. The difference is that all the whole east and all the rest of the world worship idols and on top of that they use it for gain. It would make sense if you had an awakening you would be going through what felt like judgement itself and the child would depart from you. If you’re not with child then you are possibly spoused given that you are alone away. From the rest of the body. Then again it could be in reference as of New Testament to the two different things going on between John’s baptism after Jesus was taken up. Being baptized into Jesus name as acts 2:38 basically. When I did this I left the former church and began seeing more things and felt the need to put the Bible down. But my love and heart for my neighbor took me into looking at other beliefs knowing that they needed Jesus I seen how it says I’m found of them that asked not for me made known to them that knew me not. I see how the buddist monks talks about shangralah or whatever they call it and wondered if this was a perversion that was supposed to be Zion
I felt like I was under attack for awhile but I was listening to frequencies. And I started listening to deliverances because I felt like something dark was around me. Maybe it’s the explanation of the revelation 12 dragon which would be the devil basically but I believe he’s going to save his believers. It’s as if the child departs from the women and goes away. There have been so many changes by the catholic system one wouldn’t even know where to begin after the transformation
1 Peter 1 says believers have "an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade" and that through faith we are "shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time." We have victory over evil through Christ and are protected by Him!
Idk about all the yoga moves though because it’s connected with Hindu deities I would focus on sitting if your going to do this to avoid conflicts but again we could be misinterpreting something but it’s weird how some of us see this and some of us see something else
I love that this class inspired so much thought and digging into Scripture! In answer to this comment... I believe that Jesus redeems all things and that He wants his people to be healed and whole. The physical movements of a yoga practice and the connection of breath and movement reset the nervous system, build strength and add flexibility. I also believe that, if we are not Christ-Centered when we practice yoga, if we are not careful about exposure to new age beliefs, yoga can draw us away from Jesus. When I practice I am always intentional about keeping the focus of the practice on Jesus.
This is interesting Luke 12:35 and revelation 12 women seems like a link along with Song of Solomon. We look at revelation 17 women. It reminds me of Jesus going into the wilderness and being tempted of the devil to all the kingdoms basically revelation 17 women sounds like the one using the power for gain. Revelation 12 women sounds like she’s the bride I’m very interested.
In Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar looks at all of Babylon and says that it is his creation. He has conquered kingdoms and acquired unimaginable wealth. Nebuchadnezzar decrees that all should worship him. God strips Nebuchadnezzar's power away from him and disciplines him for his sin. I think the woman of Rev 17 represents all the sins and temptations of Babylon. I agree that the temptation is to use power and wealth for gain. I think the woman of Rev 12 represents Mary and the supernatural battle over her as she gave birth to Jesus. The Church is the bride of Christ - At our best we are the representation of all the light and the love of God in this world, and Jesus adores us! Women have always had a very important role to play in the Kingdom of God.
So beautiful
❤you,ma'am!😊
Simple and effective ❤❤❤ you deserve moro.. Blessings
Nice exercise session....keep up the amazing work... Good luck
Such a nice kind sweet spirited woman.

Explain what Christ has to do with yoga?
Thanks for asking! Jesus came to restore us to God, and to heal us. The combination of mindful breath and movement is a scientifically proven healing modality. Jesus can redeem all things and use them for His glory. As we focus on God and use Scripture as our guide, Jesus restores us through the practice of yoga.
😊😊😊😊
She has such a beautiful voice 😊😊

Let me give you a lesson on Yoga History, Yoga is originated in India. It was Ist practice by "Adiyogi ( which We Hindus refer to as Shiva)". Yoga from there on spread throughout the whole of Ancient India and You can find these In Hindu scriptures. In the British Era(Colonial era of British, currently U.K ) Hindu scriptures were burned and some were taken to England for studies and later on Converted into English and started practising. At present, the Christian Church refers to Yoga as a "Devil practice" then WHY YOU ARE TEACHING THE SAME dEVIL YOGA IN THE NAME OF "CHRISTIAN YOGA" 😠😈 STOP COPYING MY COUNTRY/RELIGIOUS PRACTICE AS YOURS It is my Humble request to all people to please check the facts as there is no such thing as "Christian Yoga" exists in the world and you refer to your "BIBLE" Yoga is a sacred practice of my Hindu Religion please do not taint by copying what is provided by my religion and If you want to practice please remove the word "Christian"

Thank you for sharing. Everyone is welcome to experience these practices in any way they are comfortable. I teach from my own experience and faith. Blessings for your journey!
Thank you for the wonderful session. I really appreciate it but the ads came a few times and especially it was a shock during shabasana with the loud sound. I would appreciate if you could set it up the ads are in the beginning and the end, even if it's a longer ad. Thank you and I am thrilled you created a Christian yoga channel!
I'm so glad you loved the practice! Until I have 1000 or more subscribers and 4000 hours of viewing time I have no control (and get no payment) over advertising on my videos. This includes what is advertised, how often, and how long. TH-cam advertises on every video that has 100 or more views. You can practice ad-free with any of my videos with under 100 views (there are still lots lol) or you can subscribe to TH-cam Premium. Thanks for sharing your experience - I wish I could help!
There is no such thing as Christian yoga.
Keep up the amazing workout.... Best of luck.❤❤❤
It’s amazing exercise... You deserve moro audience.. Good luck ❤
