My CRAZY New Age To Jesus Testimony: From Moving to Bali, Living in LA Mansions, & Losing Everything
DMT is what turns atheists into believers. It was used by Abraham and probably even Jesus. It teaches us about unconditional love. It was used for centuries before the church made condemned it. Interestingly, it brings people closer to GOD and to break away from self and the ego. It’s like the church doesn’t want us to see the truth. People who are doing this aren’t looking for success as you say. It makes you turn away from your ego and instead love more deeply.
Wrong. Meditation allows you to break fee from self and connect with your spirituality. It teaches us how we are all one and the essence of everything is love.
Proof you have never actually done DMT
Amen!! ((( <3 )))
Thank you for sharing your story so cogently and honestly.
You’re so on the money. New Age just focuses on yourself, it’s so selfish
* side-note: there is a Law of Density, but then there’s a theory of gravity (aka pseudoscience 😁)
This truth has been God’s primary message to me the past few months. I was just praying, “I am your beloved son, because He is your beloved Son and has made me so, too.”
Now, this is the Stephano I was waiting to see. Conversion with conviction, high-quality visuals, and genuine meditated information.
All glory be to God! 🙌🏻🔥✝
Amen!!! When Jesus saved me, this was what I understood.
Hey brother. Just subbed. Thank you Lord for this Word. Also thank you brother. I needed this. Why? I feel lost. I feel like I don’t know where to go. I feel like everyone is passing me by. I cling to His Word. A few years ago I felt the same. I remember waking up to pray and seek His face. Miracle of miracles happened. Matthew 6:33. But first …. Love the fact you’re on here spreading the Word. All glory to the King of Kings Jesus Christ
@@bradleygonzalez1160 Amen brother! Thanks for the sub. I know the feeling. Keep your eyes on Him… do not be afraid. He will show you the way. 🙌🏻✝️🔥
❤❤❤
🙏🏻✝️🔥
Amen brother. Stay true to Jesus!
🙏🏻✝️🔥
Our story is soo similar!!!! Coming back to god in Bali, wow. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your powerful testimony. Jesus saved me from the New Age 5 months ago. My story is very similar to yours. The enemy is so deceptive! I also began to believe that I was the God of my life. I’m so grateful that you found the truth. Thank you for sharing the good news!
So tru bestie. True wisdom is to assert your lies as Truth. 😂
So....did you get Born Again???
How did you qualify for unemployment as a coach?
You did an excellent job Stefano. Love presentation!!! I see growth. You need to write that book!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
⛪️👀✝️
❤
Amen
🙌🙌🙌🙌
❤️❤️
Excellent testimony, this is a great platform to share!!!!!!!! was able to gain perspective👏👏👏
Great post , I,would also recommend you listen to jay dyer who was born baptist then was catholic 10 years,now Orthodox, reason being at the top the pope is ecumenical and lucerferian-long story
The woman who suddenly exploded on you for doing something normal. I know what that is like. You are left just like wtf just happened!
When a person is willing to be humble and is sincerely trying to find the Truth, like you were, he finds the Truth - Jesus Our Lord - in the one true Church that He built on Peter. Thanks for sharing your reasons. They're brilliant and spot on. I hope you may discover the writings of the Saints. They are not "dead" people so we are not conjuring the dead. Saints are alive in the Church triumphant. God raised them to the altars through the authority of the Church for a reason: for His glory and our good. To be our elder brothers and sisters in the Faith who went ahead of us, fought the good fight and have won the victory purely through His grace. Their lives will encourage us in our own journey to becoming Saints. God is Our Father and we have a family in the Church.
What in the world is a dmt ceremony gift? It must be like giving someone an "adultery" ceremony gift. The devil can package mortal sin nicely in order to normalize it. This is why we urgently need to receive the true Body and Blood of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist in order to save us and keep us from falling into sin.
Beautiful testimony. Out of new age after 20 years. Grew up in the Lutheran church. I believe I knew Jesus when I was little, but we did not have an active faith and our whole family fell away, tragically. Found Jesus again in 2023 at 58, praise God! 🙏 Opened my 50 year old Bible and began to REALLY seek Him. Found an amazing church. Was baptized on Easter this year. I still say, over a year later...it's ALL there! In His Word. Sometimes I feel cheated by the years away from Him, and I've repented of those choices. I am eternally GRATEFUL for his patience and unending love and grace. The peace you speak of is such a gift. Thank you for sharing your testimony home to Him. So AWEsome. ❤️
Thanks for sharing! Great testimony!
Thank you for sharing. I’m on a new path and I’m not yet sure where it’s going but I’m open to finding out. After being into new age for 8 years. I’m happy that I didn’t get into some of the deep practices that I’ve heard people got into. It was partially fear, and partially being blocked from entering certain things and I’m starting to believe that God had a role in it too, not letting me get too lost. Although I did get somewhat lost for a while. One detrimental side effect is separation, self-help seems to separate us from people. However it did open my mind to the notion of God. So I got both sides I think, the good and the bad. And here I am, listening to testimonies, and being brought people who walk in faith ☺️❤️
Please pray for me getting attacked on my left side thank you
Your parents are a true blessing!
Dear Stefano, I do admit that this heartfelt sad news for me, since on my way to Jesus Christ your channel was such a blessing. On the other hand, though, I sort of smiled when you broke the news because ever since I started listening to your testimony and all the valuable and deep reflections that you shared with us, I always thought: “I wish he would write a book.” So in the end your decision also makes me happy, and I will continue to pray that God will guide you on your new path. I do think that your ability to use language in such a differentiated and yet touching way is a gift that God wants you to make use of. Please be assured of my deep gratitude for the work you did and as I mentioned in another comment, your reflections and thoughts immensely impacted me on my own journey. Thank you also for not taking the channel down. That gives me the opportunity to re-watch some videos and gain new insights from them. I can hardly wait to read your book and wish you a deep inner peace to pursue that goal. I guess withdrawing from all social media is one of the healthiest things to do that end. I came across your channel in the first place because of my deep concern about a young sould lost in the New Age - as I was myself. Maybe you can keep us in your prayers? Thank you so much, Stefano, and be blessed. Ulrike
Dear Ulrike, Your comments always bring so much joy to my heart. It's been such a blessing to share these videos and to hear the impact they've had on you - God be praised! I pray they'll continue to bear even more fruit and insights for you whenever you revisit them, as you're called to. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. This book will be the most important work of my life to date, and I can't wait to share it with you! I pray I will be able to fully surrender this labor to God and that His will may be achieved through it. Of course, I will continue to keep you and this young seeking soul whom you care so deeply for in my prayers. May you continue to be guided and led by the Holy Spirit as you be a witness for Christ to her. Take care, and God bless! Stefano
Oh no!! Your voice is so kind and needed. I will miss it!
Thank you so much for your support and for all your thoughtful comments & feedback! I pray the videos I've published will continue to serve you in your walk with our Lord. And who knows... I may return to TH-cam at some point down the line (not so sure I can say the same about the other social media platforms) to share a video here and there 🙂
@@FindingHope_AMDG I feel led to say this to you: Dont be too hard on yourself. You don't have to be perfect or rope yourself into any set schedule (with the accompanying pressure of: What's my topic for next week's video?) If you wanted, you could always post when there is something on your heart to express I feel you are sincere and open to dialogue, which is sadly not the case for many of the youtube Christian platforms. Openess is what opens others.
@@annief.9256 Thanks, Annie! Definitely think that way of posting videos (only when I feel called to, without the pressure of a consistent schedule) would be the way to go for me. I could definitely see that being a possibility, when the time is right. But for now I'm looking forward to a much-needed break.
@@FindingHope_AMDG Honestly while I'm sad cause I just found your channel yesterday and it's meant a lot to me already, I think that's so wise, cause for so many TH-camrs it's just relentless videos and becomes a grift...unfortunately happening to ex-New Age TH-camrs and it feels like it cheapens the message.
Love your videos! God bless you and look forward to your future
Great video, thank you 🙏
In would love the root sin exercise please and thank you 🙏
Hi Rosie, You can sign up for the root sin exercise/workbook here: spiritualdirection.com/2024/01/31/whats-your-root-sin The link is near the end of the article, and all you have to do is enter your name and email and then they'll send it right over to you. I pray it is a powerful and fruitful exercise for you. God bless! - Stefano
Warning: Blasphemy of the holy spirit is an unpardonable sin. Research that before casting any judgement on a spirit.
Hi. I consistently watch your videos, but I almost skipped this one, because the title was not clear. I thought it wouldn’t identify with the information. What is amazing is that I have been looking for quite a while for clear, excellent explanations of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola! Can I humbly suggest you modify the title to include : Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola to help other people who may be looking for this value content as I was? Thank you for all you do.
Done! Thank you for this feedback and suggestion, Simone! 🙏🏻
Such a crucial talk ! God bless Stefano
Blessings to you, brother! Hope this video helps you!
Thank you, dear Stefano, for this video! And thanks to Annie for the inspiration on this topic. I listened with pen and paper next to me. Confronting consolation versus desolation was so helpful for me. It's the gap between the two of them that I so easily get trapped in. As always - the diligence you use in choosing words is a blessing for me in order to work out the unconscious paths that I often run the risk to fall back to. My biggest "helper" of today’s video is: “The enemy is strong with the weak and weak with the strong.” I pray for your lecture tonight and hope so much that you touch the hearts of those young people. Again -thanks for all your work on this channel.
So happy to hear it was helpful!! Rule #12 was such an important one for me to remember as well. When we stand firm and resist the enemy - especially at the very start of a temptation - the enemy has no power over us. Praise God! I pray these rules may continue to help you navigate the spiritual life and your walk with our Lord with greater awareness, clarity, and understanding. My talk with the teens last night went really well, thanks be to God! The Holy Spirit was definitely present and spoke through me. It was a great blessing to share a bit of my story with God’s children and remind them about their true identity in Christ - thank you for the prayer!! 🙏🏻😇
Thanks so much for your hard work! This was wonderful. What if I don't have google drive? [for the 14 rules] You'll be in my prayers 🙏
You’re welcome! I hope it helped clarify some things for you! Let me know if anything’s unclear or if you have any additional questions. Oh shoot, can you not view it because you don’t have Google drive? If that’s the case, I can probably save it as a PDF link that should be viewable by anyone. I can do this sometime tomorrow. Thanks so much for the prayers!! 🙏🏻
@@FindingHope_AMDG A pdf I could just download would be just grand! I so appreciate you!
@@annief.9256 Here you go! Let me know if this works for you :) drive.google.com/file/d/1EzNM19HV1B-neXQoVyCuPyMRQZmPqmoC/view?usp=sharing
@@FindingHope_AMDG Perfectly Steffano, thanks again!
@@annief.9256 Great! You’re welcome!
I hope this breakdown of the 14 rules will help you in your spiritual journey! 🔥 Two things: 1. If you have ANY questions - please let me know! Leave a comment and I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can. 2. If you found this video helpful, please SHARE it with someone else who would benefit from it too! Thanks again for watching, and God bless! 🙏🏻 P.S. So sorry for all the background noises in this video. A new window is being installed in the living room, right next to my room where I record these videos… Hopefully it's not too loud/distracting from the content!
Praise God! I was saved from new age 2 months ago and I am finally feeling the same Peace! Thank you for sharing 💓
So u one of them. Happy 4 u. No we dont have our unique journeys. Some dies went to hell
Watching the Chosen series really helped me out of the transition of New Age.
Great show! But curious how specifically it helped you in your transition out of New Age?
I saw TH-cam testimonies of others transitioning out of new age, I never read the Bible. I bought one. Then happened to watch the series out of curiosity and loved it. Then I looked up the stories in the Bible and read them. I did energy healing work but I felt like I was on the hamster wheel. I now acknowledge Jesus as the master healer. I have felt much peace since then. Prayer and scripture study is something I now strive to do daily. But I have also had dreams of the adversary bounding me since I’ve started coming closer to God. And the spiritual warfare is real. @TheGreatGanddini
@@silvermoon7791 So cool to hear that TH-cam testimonies were your first exposure to Christianity! And that The Chosen helped inspire you to go read the Bible. Praise God your eyes have been opened to the Truth! The spiritual warfare is definitely real, especially for those of us who have come out of New Age. But thanks be to God we are protected by the precious blood of Jesus and the enemy has no power over Jesus. Keep fighting the good fight! Have you been baptized or found a local Church yet?
Yes I have been baptized and found and go to a local church ❤️
@@silvermoon7791 God be praised! 🙌🏻🕊️✝️
YES!! I was exhausted from trying to uncover my ~authentic~actualized~self~ through New Age modalities. A hamster wheel of emptiness. Our identities are given to us by our Creator. Timestamp 20:39 - powerful statements! Love this!
It was so exhausting! Thanks be to God we have rediscovered our true identities in Christ!!
