Hi everyone! So excited that my testimony is going live! I pray that this brings glory to God. Thank you Jesus for the gift of salvation! And thank you Cultish/Apologia for the opportunity to share my story. Here we go! 🙌🏼✝️🕊🙇♀️💜
What a beautiful testimony! When God saves you He can completely change you! 8/29/2015 He changed my life! The verses that really jumped out at me after I was first born again were, “It is His goodness that leads to repentance.” And “He reached into darkness and pulled me into His marvelous light”! Hallelujah!! So thankful for your salvation, I am praying for more to be saved! 💗
Thank you for putting yourself out there and blessing us with your incredible testimony! It was amazing, I felt like I could listen for 2 more hours. Seriously.
These New Age topics are so relatable to such a large audience because it’s becoming SO integrated into our culture. So glad you shared your testimony.
thank you for the encouragement. It's been a really rough week. But this really isn't about me, its about doing my best to glorify God and also all the people who are lost in the deception. I pray that this might help some to see the truth. And I pray for those lost in the new age all the time, it is growing rapidly, yet Jesus is mightier
I remember experiencing sleep paralysis during a very difficult time in my late teens. It was almost like it was spiritual warfare. The devil in one corner and Jesus in the other. Jesus won. He fought for me and he never gave up on me.
To those saying she's glorifying or not ready: I understand what you're saying. But I also get where she's coming from, especially as a young Christian. My journey was different than hers, as I was raised in relatively solid doctrine and walked away on my own volition. I wasn't solidly in New Age, but lost in progressive church and politics. There were actually a handful of years after the Lord called me to Himself where I was still wistfully reminiscing on my past, and seeing parts of it through rose-colored glasses. I was also trying to please people from my past and not offend them. Long story short, as I've grown closer to the Lord, I've become increasingly disgusted with my sin. I've simultaneously offended some of my old friends simply by not affirming their sinful beliefs anymore. It's a journey; give her grace.
I'm in a similar situation with my friends. After catching up with some from a church I left a few years ago, I've become more and more interested in the Bible, and as a result, I've also become more and more disgusted with how some of my friends disregard things in the Bible that they don't agree with. I would say that the church wasn't very new age when I was there, but after leaving it, it seems like it's become more and more new age now. I'm in this dilemma now where, I want to show them that God's word isn't something that they can disregard if they don't agree with it, but I also don't want to hurt them, as they are still nice people. But honestly, I'm getting to the point where, I think it's best to offend them than to leave them in their sin. So, I've been trying to just ask them questions about their mentality to try and get them to question things themselves. I'm not sure if it's working, but I hope it does something. But in a way, I'm glad I caught up with some of my old friends, because, it's just helped to reaffirm me that I made the right decision on leaving.
Just imagine followers of Christ speaking to our fellow sister in Christ with the same grace and mercy he flowed into our lives when we received our gift of salvation from Him, instead of speaking in “righteous indignation.” How awesome that frame of ministry could be. 😐 Let this woman be encouraged by your words and thank her for coming into this platform and proclaiming her salvation through Christ. If you have any concerns for her, pray for her, do not try to speak truth in love without given the permission from our Father to correct her. God has placed the correct mentors in her life for her journey. Not random TH-cam warriors. Thank you Theresa for speaking on your life and giving hope to others in New Age that Jesus Christ will be the only one to fill their void in life. Keep growing in the Lord and seeking after Him so you can continue fulfilling His purpose for your life. ❤️
You know, I like Theresa's respectful tone as she rehashes and discusses the details of her new age experiences, and even speaks with reverence to a degree (out of love and appreciation for the human beings she was associated with at the time), as new agers watching this may feel respect as opposed to belittlement or harsh judgment for their current or past involvement. In my own new age experience (20+ years), I did not know better at the time and was earnest in my spiritual pursuits of goodness, truth, and light. Thankfully, I came to Christ last fall and got saved (praise Jesus!), so now I KNOW by the certainty and sufficiency of God's Word, that JESUS REALLY IS the truth, the way, and the life! He is Lord. Thank you for sharing your story, Theresa. Also, thanks to Steven Bancarz whose videos pointed me to Jesus and led me to salvation. Jesus uses our testimonies in wonderful ways! God bless you.
Praise God! This was an incredible testimony. As someone who was also in the new age for many years, these were the type of stories that aided in my salvation. There are many layers to unravel when you’ve been brainwashed so deeply. I was deeply traumatized by the level of deceit I was exposed to in the NA, I had a hard time trusting in Jesus in the beginning. I was so afraid of my reality crumbing again. & when you wake up to the truth of Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior - the enemy seems to works double time to keep you doubting. For some, surrendering to Jesus is a longer process. I don’t believe anyone should shy from sharing their testimony based on their “maturity” as a Christian. It doesn’t matter if you are Christian or not, the worst place to be is where you think you have it all figured out. I’m grateful for the compassion and gentleness that Theresa shows for the lost. It’s Christians who tell you that you’re not glorifying God correctly that keep people from the truth.
This was a great interview. The only thing that was difficult for me to hear was when she would refer to the new agers as good people. "Why do you call me good? No one is good but One, that is, God." Luke 18:19 NKJV I'm sure in time she'll grow past saying that and this verse will really sink it. Prayers and blessings to all my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.
I agree. Her saying that along with a smile that (at least in how I perceived it) shows that she is being reminiscent at the moment made me feel like she still has this very strong connection infused with warmth and delight when she thinks about those people or certain events. And the danger in holding on to those feelings is that they could potentially draw her back to the life she had before Christ just because of how she feels about those memories. Especially considering the fact that when you walk with the Lord, life can get progressively harder when you grow in your obedience to God. So if emotions are on the forefront here, that’s a dangerous ground to walk on... BUT! I have to add this: I know how much of a process growing in that obedience and Christ-likeness is and that there is grace for all of us, no matter where we are in that process, so I am in no way saying that this was not a genuine transformation she’s gone through or that God is not working on her heart. I think we, as Christ followers, have this responsibility for accountability where we have to make sure it’s God’s truth that is followed and not our feelings/emotions. So I am thankful that we get to hear testimonies like that, and that there is an actual respectful conversation happening.
@@katrinacherkasskikh7756 she mentioned getting her first bible in 2018. That's really not a long time ago. I think she just needs time with Jesus to process at a pace that's good for her.
@@cutethulu_xo and that’s why I added that part at the end of my comment. However, the emotions you attach to your past matter. I’m sure she is growing in her faith and viewing spiritual experiences from a Biblical perspective, so that’s not what I’m emphasizing here. I’m emphasizing the tone with which things were shared and what that makes me think of.
@@katrinacherkasskikh7756 oh absolutely! It's in the same way that our thoughts matter. We are to take our thoughts captive and such. I enjoyed what you said :)
After my own dark supernatural experience, I had to numb out to survive because my anxiety was so bad. Only reading the Bible made me feel alive and at peace. I would read for hours.
I also fell for the new age lie having delved into hardcore psychedelics.. ayahuasca iboga 5 meo dmt just to mention a few opened up a portal where i meet satan .. most horrific evil i have ever experienced.. this women speaks the TRUTH .. thank you JESHUA for saving me
@@brooketaylor6226 im not talking about Ibogaine but Iboga .. they are 2 seperate things .. Iboga is a ritual with blowing of a rams horn and baptism plus hardcore witchcraft .. Neither am i talking about the first death but the second death that awaits this physical incarnation eg. In Revelation 21:8 "[A]s for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, the murderers, the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." Also i can say that for a friend of mine he died last year after the use of ibogaine several times to get him off of heroin. . He ended up overdosing back on more hard drugs .. I wish you nothing but that you find the real Love of Jesus through firstly repentance.. i had to reach the point of i know that i dont know before He saved me .. All praise to Jeshua Much Love Amen
@@tomskikruger577 Thank you!!!! Sorry about you friend... 😢 I completely understand what you’re saying, but Ibogaine really does save and transform people’s lives! I do feel though (like you said) after you take it you’re operating basically on a different frequency, opening yourself up to good but also the possibility of bad... I know Jesus is the one true king, but to FINALLY find something to get me off of/KEEP me off of opiates, I don’t think Ibogaine comes close to these other psycadelics... I hope life is great friend! Thanks 😉
@@brooketaylor6226 your statement on frequencies and opening up to good or bad is all new age talk aka old age Occult up is down and down is up talk .. tell me where in the bible does it ever mention frequencies? there is no good in those realms period hence why Lucifer also means the light bringer .. the bringer of which light? The false light to decieve you as an angel of light To then go on and put ibogaine before Jeshua as the reason you got healed is an oxymoron.. even worse if your promoting ibogaine for healing instead of Jeshua as the first port of call Im not perfect i did the same many times .. spat on Jeshua in the psychedelic realms without knowing the truth .. he rescued me from that vile place .. i am a sinner and fully acknowledge it I wish you all the best sista Amen
@@tomskikruger577 I’m confused... your first comment said when you took psychedelics it opened up a ‘portal’, where in the Bible does it say the word portals? Of course Jesus is the reason for me being clean and sober, but I also believe he leads his children to certain things that will help them. For me personally, ibogaine was a tremendous help. It helped me not only grow closer to him, but I was able to get off suboxone with zero withdrawals... which I never would have been able to do without it. Trust me, I’ve tried everything. Even going to healing conferences. I understand what you’re trying to say, but you are also double speaking with your first comment.
I was hooked by new age and supernatural powers when I was a young teenager and tried to experiment with many things but a fear always stopped me from going all the way. Thinking about it now, it seems that the holy Spirit put that fear in me to protect me from those things and I am grateful. And grateful for Theresa's testimony!!!! I haven't heard any testimony like this and I've listened to many. It's so powerful considering HOW DEEP and "lost in the sauce, if you will, that she was into the 'religion'. CRAZY. Sending it to all my new age friends.
Your testimony is amazing!! Thank you for being brave enough to share with us your story. Funny side note that I live in the AV now and when you said Mojave I was like 😳 prayers this reaches whoever Jesus needs to hear it and this story works in their hearts 💕
2 hours well spent!! This was by far my favorite cultish episode. You can really feel her love for Jesus in her words. What a beautiful testimony; thank you so much for sharing!!! ❤️
Yes! I really started taking a deeper dive into the New Age while seeking alternative healing from chronic illness. I grew up Word of Faith/grassroots NAR so I was already embracing New Thought mindsets but what really set me into the New Age was the 'path to wellness'. So good to hear someone I can relate to! Much needed. Thank you for sharing.
I have a friend who's been in the New Age since I met her 13 years ago. I would ask that anyone who is willing to please pray for Nicole. She is lovely, and "studies" her Bible, but she does this through the lens of New Age beliefs. She recently read a book about how she and God are the co-creators of her life since He is a creator and she is a creator, so they are kinda like creator "buddies". So, she is just Christian adjacent enough to think she is a Christian, without really being one.
I will add your friend Nicole to my prayer list. It is so hard when we can see the deception our loved ones are caught in. But please keep hope, if God managed to save me, when I wanted absolutely nothing to do with him for decades, surely your friend is not out of His reach. Praying other name.
My beautiful lady and mother of my children only recently (about 2 months ago), has just woken up from her 15 year new age slumber to the true creator and saviour and gospel, I stumbled across (God gave me) a vid on yt about the testimony of a lady named Doreen virtue, who was a giant in the new age. When I watched it with my missus she broke down completely and cryed for hours. This woman Doreen virtue was a major part of her life and her new age god religion shattered... here's a link to the vid which will break her belief sytem to pieces and bring her to the truth 👍
Another TH-camr who is fantastic and very knowledgeable but about new age and the Bible is Steven Bancarz. Maybe you could show her some of his videos. I am a former reiki healer and I too called myself Christian at the time. The deception really goes so deep.
I hope she doesn’t fall back into New Age. You can tell that she still loves her experiences from the past. She expresses admiration and a longing for it all.
She loves them in the sense that her past glorifies God, because even someone as deep into these experiences as she was, can still find Jesus and use the testemony to bring Glory to Him. :) She won't fall back...
If she didn't have her new age background, she might never have found Jesus, nor would she be who she is today. So, she shouldn't hate her past. It was important to have. If she hated her past, that would likely send her into quicksand of hating herself. The past is important.
I don’t usually tune into lengthy episodes of anything, but this was worth it…and if nothing else waiting to hear her story of repentance was huge. Definitely appreciate your ministry.
Always good to hear more testimonies of people coming out of the new age. Thank you Theresa for sharing. You are an example of Christ's love and grace. As a teen I got into mediations and energies. It wasn't until I read the scripture in my twenties, that God opened my eyes to the demonic powers that I was in bed with. If I could depict what a new age demon would look like, it would be an Angler Fish. A light hanging in front, luring you in with beauty and revelation, but by the time you see its teeth, you're already too far in. The only salvation then, is Christ snatching you away to safety.
Powerful testimony, Theresa! Love you sis! Bringing back so many memories and making so many connections. The New Age is a HUGE money making machine seeded into the lives of upper middle class women back in the day to incubate all these things you talked about here.
I’m currently having to battle the invasion of Eckhart Tolle into some of our member’s readings. It’s scary stuff. Not sure all that he teaches but what I heard was absolute heresy. Would appreciate an episode about his stuff.
You only need to look at his eyes and you can see the familiar spirits, also oprah was mentored and allowed the same spirits to attach to her......2Corinthians10:3-6 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
...love and needed this. I have family/loved ones deeply mixed up in all this. she sounds like a twin of someone I love dearly. this gives me hope and refreshes my passion to pray/fast for her... thank you guys for this vid! 🔥
This is such a great interview! Some people tell their experiences of new age but Theresa went so far into it which I find so fascinating. I dabbled in new agey stuff but never truly believed any of it, though I also didn't believe in God and the Bible either. I was searching for something (also an alcoholic, hi!). Just starting on my faith journey so this video is so helpful.
Such an awesome and amazing Testimony! I praise God He is going to and will use this in a mighty way as He already is. Love you sister 💜 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new
I grow up Christian, but never really new him. I got into new age and down the rabbit whole I went. God never left me and went after his lost sheep. The Holy Spirit revealed the truth to me. I now know who Jesus is truly. I was practicing astral project and activation meditation, I felt evil spirits around and God pulled me away. The New age is deceiving a lot of lost souls and I feel called to help others lost.
Please so many need you! These people need the gospel the true gospel all of it not all dressed up just the simple gospel is enough!!!! Praise God for His Word that He watches over to perform! Amen
It's amazing that you follow the new age practices without ever being in them to know what's going on and the lies told by the enemy. I wish more Christians would do this and have more understanding so they could help their brothers and sisters and others come to Christ.
Wow! Thankyou for your testimony! I have a cousin engulfed in the new age in Canada. She attends Shambala...similar to burning man. She was raised Christian but somehow got enticed into the new age. I also doubted God's goodness in my late 20s while going through a nasty divorce. I started searching the new age for answers and dabbled in yoga, and the "secret". My mom introduced me to tea leaf reading that opened the door to darkness and for Satan to reek havoc on my family. Long story all that happened after her and I got our tea leaves read, bit I believe that act brought evil to my family, our home and eventually the death of my Dad. Thankyou for exposing the darkness. Bless you
Jeremiah, you are very intelligent and definitely know a myriad of facts about cultish things. But you gotta remember to either stay on track when you steal mic time from your guest, or please just let them tell their story! I wanted to hear about Mormon murders and but I barely heard the guest speak!
This feedback given to him is consistent on every video I’ve watched… I do wish he’d take it to heart, maybe he has… It comes across as an ego out of control. Please, please sit back and allow your guests to tell their story! Maybe in the end you can offer up your thoughts. It would make for a more cohesive and followed discussion. Plus- it’s not easy to tell our stories. Giving grace and patience and humility is the way to go.
@@jesuschristiskingofkingslo2023 hey brother, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. “For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks...The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.” Matthew 12:34-35 Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Knowing both the truth about the depths of the sin nature and grace and mercy of the atonement and this woman and how she has poured into others the past few years, the fear and reverence she has before the Lord, and how viscously the enemy attacks this type of thing.... I have to say well done and yes, this episode is not the end all be all of a conversation... it's the beginning of one. From reading the other comments, it is once again clear that many in the body of Christ err in trying to judge anyone and everyone in fragments of conversations. Are new agers "good people"... clearly not, because we are ALL sinners and we ALL fall short of the glory of God. I can tell you, the lack of love between those in what unbelievers perceive Christianity to be and the constant bickering online does nothing for the cause of bringing people into the kingdom of God. GRACE is often what's missing online. God help us all. Are there lovely people (relatively and humanly speaking) in every belief system out there, yeah, well pretty much.... hate to break it to you, but there are. Deception is involved, but people can still be recognized for being kind to one another. Most people can handle the nuance of that without getting bogged down. Sadly, many of the people that have been "church hurt" have strayed into alternative spiritual practices because they are looking for love and healing that they didn't find with those who were claiming to follow Jesus, but weren't actually expressing His compassion to the hurting. God help us all. If that's you and you are reading this, please don't let what sinful people did keep you from knowing the actuality of who JESUS is. He is real. He sacrificed His life in exchange for yours. No greater love that you will know in both this action AND in the ACTUAL LIVING PERSON that He is. He wants a real relationship with you and came to restore you to GOD in the fullness of who He is. That's why all the distraction and counterfeiting-- it's just to throw you off track and keep you from that. This is the entire aim of the false light. As for the church- pray, speak truth in love, encourage, love one another as He has loved you. We make it too hard. He came to set captives free. Hallelujah.
You put all of my thoughts into words more eloquently than I could. As a newly saved (a few months) person myself I felt the exact same way after reading through the comments.
@@Weissguys6 no but she does everything virtually after reviewing your labs and muscle testing. It took about 10 months but she has helped me heal so much.
Funny the first "mediation" I went too all I could think about was how this was like some of our prayer evenings LOL. Now mind you I went from progressive, hyper charismatic into New Age, but the whole experience was oddly so much like the church I grew up in. Praise God he delivered me.
brilliant interview and testimony. identified with a lot including sadly suicides within my na circles, made me go hmmm. Made me laugh when you commented that no one in the new age thinks they are - this was me so much, slow process to Jesus as Lord for me but i believe its happening
Exactly what happened to me! My heart sank into my stomach the moment I realised the devil isn’t fake. He’s very very real. You can’t convince anyone of this but you can help them find out for themselves. That’s when I looked up and realised that God was real and how deceived I had been all this time. Even the devil masquerades as an angel of light don’t be fooled a moment longer guys!?
hallelujah that is awesome. I am seeing that a lot in the past year also with people diving down the rabbit holes bc of the 'rona and all. And its brought a lot of people to Christ. What satan meant for evil, God used for good.
@@torytor1596 I am a former reiki healer. Amazing looking back how foolish I was, not knowing God’s Word. The first thing we say when calling our spirit guides(demons) in, is ‘I am protected by divine white light.’ It makes me cringe so hard now that I’m saved. It was only two years and I only did it(self healing sessions) a few times because I had such a physical aversion to it, but I was under such insane demonic oppression now that I know what it all means. The Lord is so good. And He is pouring out His Holy Spirit on His people in these end days. Answer the call everyone! All the peace and love you’ve been looking for your whole life, you will find in the Most High! 🙏❤️
Love hearing the stories of you guys! Especially at a time when a lot of Christians who don't have a solid grounding are being deceived and led in the opposite direction
@@crystalhaataja304 this is true but having said that, sin is still sin. Which is exactly why these “good people” who may have good intentions and do “good” things are still completely lost and looking for their way home in the wrong direction. Of course, they don’t realize it.. but that’s even more of a reason to share the gospel with them, to bare the fruits to show them Christ lives through those who seek him, and for believers to help them to find THE truth. Good doesn’t get you away from sin. Only forgiveness through the blood of Christ washes that sin away. Yes, we are all created in His image, but he gave us the free will to choose the path we want to take. The path of righteousness or the path to hell. There is no in between.
Dam I had some experience with greys when I was in the military. An it shook me then after I had sleep paralysis for almost 3 years. I prayed to christ and it stoped to cold Turkey that time so I said there's something to this thanks jesus the way the truth an the life. Haha I feel like the male version of you God bless your beautiful soul is great to help others.
Audio Shaman “special guy” “ the NICEST guy” We need to be really careful here to realize that we are talking about demonic behavior. She was being led into the demonic realm by this “special NICE GUY.” This is only one example of her romanticized memories of what should be a terrifying past, not one to look back on with a catch of longing in your voice. I realize this precious woman is young in the Lord. I pray sincerely no other young believers are led astray by her idealized version of her journey in which she was snatched from the gates of Hell. I was quite troubled by this interview for this reason. After watching this, will you humbly join me in praying over this concern? ❤️ Please forgive me if I am speaking out of turn or have come to a wrong conclusion. I very well may have! Edited to add: The ending and her salvation testimony was beautiful. I just pray everyone hangs on through to the end.
You are completely right. I share a similar testimony, and I used to do the exact same by looking on my previous life and reminiscing/romanticizing. Boy oh boy was that an open door for the enemy to get a foothold. A door that has since been shut in light of God's grace. Not only have I been delievered from that dead mans life, but I've been shown that there is nothing there to miss. God bless.
@@TwentyTwoThirtyThree thank you for your words of grace. It was very hard for me to write what I did. I enjoy this ministry and everything these guys stand for. ❤️
I can understand your concern. And this was my biggest fear honestly. I promise you I do not miss my life in the new age at all, if you knew the details of my life and what I have given up things might make more sense. And here's a few things that may give some context to possibly why it all came out the way it did: It was only the night before that I was able to share the majority of my testimony with one of the hosts, and I had set a goal of getting to the part where Jesus presented Himself to me at the half way point. But surprise that's not the way it worked out with hosts and all. Also I just happen to be quite loving and expressive. And I really didn't want to mention the name of the cafe, which threw me off. But honestly if cafe gratitude hadn't come into my life I'd likely be dead, so I am grateful for them, as well as for the medicine man who adopted me as a spiritual father~ and their possibly coming to salvation bc of me having love is more important to me than belittling them. But honestly I've had to repent multiple times this week for not saying what I always say when I talk about the "good" people from parts of my new age life which is "they were good people in terms of the world, but WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD" (not screaming, just emphasizing). I literally always say that but we were trying to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time and I absolutely hate being on camera so I was incredibly nervous. IDK. Add into the mix that I had a full blown panic attack right before filming and averaged about 2 hours a night of sleep for over a week leading up to this day... yes I'll be the first to admit I wish I would have said some things differently. But I proclaimed that Jesus saved me and I shared John 3:16. And John 3;16 was enough for me to get saved so I pray it may be for others. I am asking for grace from all of you condemning me, I did the best I could. And just for reference I am getting tons of messages from people, some new agers, some people who are just beginning to find their way to Christ and some believers~ and they are thanking me. I trust the Holy Spirit on this. I have to. I cant go back. I can only learn. God bless you.
@@theresagentry hello, thank you for your courage to publicly give your testimony. My mother is involved in Native American/New Age religion, along with cousins involved in Wicca and myself was involved in related beliefs, and in I know how you feel with the thought of them being good, never the less, Jesus said there is none good but God. I wish you all the best in your growth in Christ, and hope that through your testimony many come to know the real Christ.
@@theresagentry good response. I get nervous on camera as well or sharing parts of my former walk with others. I am an ex new ager as well and can relate to your story quite a bit looking back. May the Father continue to renew our minds and hearts daily so we may be better equipped to share the gospel.
Wait what? She is seeing Jesus? Does this happen to other people? I have never "seen" or had an encounter that I know of where Jesus actually shows me something and confirms his presence. I would love for this to happen, I love Jesus so much and want to see him and spend time with him. Why haven't I had this? I feel good just being around another Christian and thickening the spirit in discussion of the gospel. You are so blessed. Thank you for this story.
Whoever may read this, I need some help with prayers for my dad who's very sick and in the hospital, family in Christ.I would greatly appreciate this. I love you all, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ✝️🙏🏾
I believe my 23 year old son is getting involved in this world of spirits, mysticism, etc. I pray for him and I know God is sovereign but I also want to know what do you recommend I do for him.
So trippy the same thing happened to me when I left the New Age, with the realization of the darkness and Satan being real and the ruler of this world. From there I started thinking about Jesus and was He really who He said he was. Asking why was He so rejected by society at large. Then I read the book of Revelation and the Holy Spirit opened my eyes.
Yes sir indeed I feel like it goes back to the 60’s and 70’s when psychedelics was being brought into the rock scene especially in San Francisco Theirs been brothers and sisters in Christ who been under the influence who have seen the realm of the wicked
From someone living in the South Bay Area, yes you are spot on. So many disgusting things are completely normal here, it sickens me. Look up the "hallucinogenic churches of The Bay" There are places that call themselves churches and model their meetings, dress, speech, and location after churches and are all about DMT and mushrooms. Horrific.
That's so funky! I live up in NorCal near Nevada City and we would go up there growing up cuz it's a cute little town and have some fun events. Didn't realize it was a new age hub. Just knew it as a cute little hippie town. She was talking about it and I was like I know exactly where that is!
when you were talking about Russel l Brand I quickly checked an incoming message, hopped over to IG and the first post there is Russell Brand taking a selfie with a fan, WOW!
I think its only by the grace of God that folks don't get possessed as much as they used to , especially when we are taking tons of drugs and playing with portals , all the sketch stuff.
I am surprised that this language of portals etc has crept into the church.. Opening the portals of heaven and blessing?? And dance in the church with flags and prophetic painting etc?? Is that the same thing? Dangerous?
Can y'all do an episode that expounds on ecstatic dance? I'm curious to know if there is a connection to the "dance worship" common in modern Messianic Jewish groups. 🤔
In that case, any form of dance could be classified as demonic. If you disagree with the idea of dancing at all, then I understand why you would feel this way. Remember how she says she broke body parts without knowing how? That is an indicator of trance possession.
Persephone, I think you're right. Thank you for your comment. I think the concerns I have with the dance worship I have seen have more to do with the songs that are being responded to rather than the dancing itself, although participants should be discerning in terms of which songs are appropriate to dance to.
I still have spiritual experiences now as a Christian..last 2 nights in a row I had spiritual attack at night. I dreamt I was being dragged across the wall and ceiling 1st, then I saw the shadow spirit the second night. Both dreams but not normal dreams. I have been trying harder lately to live a more obedient life..
My husband has dreams like this. Less often now. It is not punishment for lack of obedience, God would not do that to you. My husband has had great success just leaning into Jesus and commanding the enemy in the name of Jesus to leave you alone. He gave you authority for this very purpose! Also, my husband now takes all of his dreams, whether from God or not, to God for insight. It's been so amazing to hear his conversations 😊
@Saint Graham - Make sure to check out the various Apologia sessions with Steven Bancarz. You may find some helpful content there. Take heart, brother. You are sealed with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.” - John 14:15-17
I had similar experiences for a little while even after I was saved. Eventually they lessened. Keep in the word of God and pray. 🙏 Are you in a community of other Christians that can encourage and support you?
Don't get me wrong, I love testimonials. But during this, there sounds of almost reminiscing more than explaining the past. Also I understand being nice when explaining people from your past but to give them such reverence and acting as though them making you take psychedelics and praising false gods is okay is far from something that you should respect them for. The intent of their heart means nothing when they actively kept you on the path to hell.
I agree. I've been in her shoes, its easy to end up reminiscing when trying to portray your testimony to people. Not that its right, and I've definitely regretted the times that I've done it myself. The satanic realm and new age is so alluring, and once you've dabbled, it leaves deep scars. Scars I wish would leave me 😔
@@TwentyTwoThirtyThree I love that you're open about admitting it though. Thats something that's hard to do! The only reason I made my comment as well because I used to do that too. Looking back almost fondly at my previous life instead of being glad I'm no longer in it. It's a struggle I know we ALL face. But now we are here in Christ which is amazing. I'll keep you in my prayers!
@@SugarySmallpox I'm really glad to hear those words. God has really changed me and saved me from that life, but being young in my faith I'm just filled with so much doubt everyday. I used to spend hours in the word everyday, but it feels as though the enemy has walked in and stripped my desire for God and the Word. I don't know where im going wrong, don't know what to pray....its just such a battle...and working 12 hour night shifts alone my mind is just constantly under attack.
@@TwentyTwoThirtyThree brother I work overnights too!! I'm actually on shift right now haha, trust me intrusive thoughts continue to come to mind. Especially when you are alone. You got this, pray anything! My biggest problem was that too, I didn't know what to say so I simply didn't. Just start somewhere and do it often. The more time in prayer and scripture the closer to God you get. It's hard for sure and I'm still working on it but the struggle is worth the progress made
@@SugarySmallpox Haha, how about that! Some nights do feel awfully dark, but I do know that the work He has started He will finish. I really appreciate your words. So awesome running into other believers on the battlefield
I’d actually like to hear more about her faith in Christ. We got a very small bit of her actually testifying of Christ. Mostly reminiscing . That answers no ones question of howChrist can redeem us. Please cultish focus more on the new life
Well you both completely missed the lesson. Do you think the people who listened to this are in the new age? Is this just entertainment to you? Come on think about it...
@@flowerpower3618 sorry I should have read your comment properly, I understand your point, the only reason I am on this channel is to understand the inner workings of false gospels, to reach out to these deceived people and share the true gospel. Sorry again
Thank you for sharing your testimony Theresa. Just my opinion on this video on the whole: It feels like none of you are calling a spade a spade. Everything is veiled in language that is so vague and bland. If you are going to pluck up the courage to make a video like this and for the presenters to ask the questions then call a thing a thing.
I can understand your concern. And this was my biggest fear honestly. It was only the night before that I was able to share the majority of my testimony with one of the hosts, and I had set a goal of getting to the part where Jesus presented Himself to me at the half way point. But surprise that's not the way it worked out with hosts and all. Also I just happen to be quite loving and expressive. And I really didn't want to mention the name of the cafe, which threw me off. But honestly if cafe gratitude hadn't come into my life I'd likely be dead, so I am grateful for them, as well as for the medicine man who adopted me as a spiritual father~ and their possibly coming to salvation bc of me having love is more important to me than belittling them. But honestly I've had to repent multiple times this week for not saying what I always say when I talk about the "good" people from parts of my new age life which is "they were good people in terms of the world, but WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD" (not screaming, just emphasizing). I literally always say that but we were trying to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time and I absolutely hate being on camera so I was incredibly nervous. IDK. Add into the mix that I had a full blown panic attack right before filming and averaged about 2 hours a night of sleep for over a week leading up to this day... yes I'll be the first to admit I wish I would have said some things differently. But I proclaimed that Jesus saved me and I shared John 3:16. And John 3;16 was enough for me to get saved so I pray it may be for others. I am asking for grace, I did the best I could. And just for reference I am getting tons of messages from people, some new agers, some people who are just beginning to find their way to Christ and some believers~ and they are thanking me. I trust the Holy Spirit on this. I have to. I cant go back. I can only learn. God bless you.
You guys did a few interviews with another person who was really into new age, he was a 20ish man. But I can't seem to find those vids? Anyone know his name?
I know Teresa personally. She condemns her New Age past very enthusiastically. Please read her sub-comment to Sugary Smallpox, where she explains some of the circumstances around the filming of the interview.
Theresa said more than once how caring the restauranteurs are, and how they have a lot of compassion for people and did “good works” for people. Satan comes as a angel of light. It reminded me of how satan deceives people by thinking that, they are a better person, by “doing good works”. Works of course, does not pay the debt that Christ paid on the cross for our sins and atonements.. Jesus said that he will separate the goat 🐐 from the sheep 🐑 Those restauranteurs were quite demonic. Thank God, The Lord lead you to repenting and surrendering your life.
Seek Christ and surrender to Him! Pray for discernment and start reading His Word even if it’s just a little at first 😊 “I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of angels of God over one sinner who repents.” -Luke 15:10
Well don't be doing drugs and take the good that Jesus showed us. Meditating is not a bad thing. Jesus did it all the time. But meditating on drugs to reach a alternate realm? Nah. Discernment is everything.
You know, there sure are a lot of mean Christians here. No wonder no one wants to listen to what you have to say. Certainly this dear sister condemns her past, but you want her to condemn the people she called family for many years. Do you condemn your unsaved family? You are the same people who listen to Bethel music. New Age spirituality is in your church and you don’t even know it. Listen to her!
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
I do love cultish. .. Y'all do an amazing thing giving a platform to expose many evils . But... this... THIS sounds like nothing but reminiscing and romanticizing. I didn't get down with the way this made me feel.
"For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools"
She said she got her first bible in 2018. That's not that long ago. Cut her a little slack. She is new in her walk and needs more time with Jesus to process her many years without him. It's hard to just just do a 180 with every aspect of your life when you are born again. This is what grace is for.
@@cutethulu_xo Absolutely, but the most healthy thing for a new believer is to be convicted and confronted with Biblical truth in order to be sanctified. I was only born again about 6 months ago from a life of addictions and head full of new age garbage. The most healthy and wholesome thing for me has been God showing me just how pitiful my attempts at holiness have been. To a new believer, or to a believer of many years, the truth and conviction are one of our greatest friends.
@@TwentyTwoThirtyThree Amen! Awesome to hear your victory ☺️ Hearing her talk about her encounter with Jesus, and the reverence in her voice towards Him put me more at ease with her reminiscent tone. It took me several years to overcome my addiction, because I was too focused on my own striving to accept His grace. We all walk at different paces and that's okay. Even though her flesh may miss her old days for now, I think she has definitely experienced how different it is with Christ. At least, that's what I gathered from hearing her talk and how her tone shifted when she talked about her encounter with Jesus.
Where is this church plant on Kauai?! My husband and I will be there soon for a family reunion for eight days. His family is all Hindu. My husband and I are the only Christians in the family and would like to worship with faithful believers during that time. The Lord saved my husband out of a New Age cult Matthews on a silent meditation retreat in the jungles of Costa Rica (He read the new testament in a Gideon Bible he took from the hotel right before heading into the jungle Even though he was supposed to not read or think about anything during the retreat).
"a spiritual junkie". I've met many like her - and been there myself. The end result: doing everything, finding nothing. Sorta like if you threw 1000 1000 piece puzzles on the floor, and then tried to put the pieces together to make 1 picture. Yes, some pieces you'll find will fit, and maybe you can hook together 1000 pieces, but how do you connect them to the other 999 puzzle sets? Personally, it became exhausting, I didn't like the lack of logic, and it all went nowhere. Well, not really, it had about as much spiritual enlightenment as a cup of coffee. Once you're on the next cup of coffee the taste of the first is gone.
Not sure why, but I’m getting this sense that she’s lying about her early past. It’s so vague and generalized. She’s talking but she’s not saying anything. I’m only 15 minutes in. Let’s see where this goes

Hi everyone! So excited that my testimony is going live! I pray that this brings glory to God. Thank you Jesus for the gift of salvation! And thank you Cultish/Apologia for the opportunity to share my story. Here we go! 🙌🏼✝️🕊🙇♀️💜
What a beautiful testimony! When God saves you He can completely change you! 8/29/2015 He changed my life! The verses that really jumped out at me after I was first born again were, “It is His goodness that leads to repentance.” And “He reached into darkness and pulled me into His marvelous light”! Hallelujah!!
So thankful for your salvation, I am praying for more to be saved! 💗
Thank you so much for sharing! I am so interested in learning how to better witness to those I know who are into the New Age.
Thank you for putting yourself out there and blessing us with your incredible testimony! It was amazing, I felt like I could listen for 2 more hours. Seriously.
Praise God for your amazing testimony! 🙌🏻
Please pray for my daughter Rosie salvation. She’s involved in new age
These New Age topics are so relatable to such a large audience because it’s becoming SO integrated into our culture. So glad you shared your testimony.
thank you for the encouragement. It's been a really rough week. But this really isn't about me, its about doing my best to glorify God and also all the people who are lost in the deception. I pray that this might help some to see the truth. And I pray for those lost in the new age all the time, it is growing rapidly, yet Jesus is mightier
Your testimony has helped a lot I relate in so many ways and wondering if you would be open to connecting?
Yea literally it’s disgusting and scary! God save us! Have mercy! Jesus come quickly amen
I remember experiencing sleep paralysis during a very difficult time in my late teens. It was almost like it was spiritual warfare. The devil in one corner and Jesus in the other. Jesus won. He fought for me and he never gave up on me.
To those saying she's glorifying or not ready: I understand what you're saying. But I also get where she's coming from, especially as a young Christian. My journey was different than hers, as I was raised in relatively solid doctrine and walked away on my own volition. I wasn't solidly in New Age, but lost in progressive church and politics. There were actually a handful of years after the Lord called me to Himself where I was still wistfully reminiscing on my past, and seeing parts of it through rose-colored glasses. I was also trying to please people from my past and not offend them. Long story short, as I've grown closer to the Lord, I've become increasingly disgusted with my sin. I've simultaneously offended some of my old friends simply by not affirming their sinful beliefs anymore. It's a journey; give her grace.
Praise God! I’m so glad you’re outttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!! Praise Jesus wow and keep going :)
I'm in a similar situation with my friends. After catching up with some from a church I left a few years ago, I've become more and more interested in the Bible, and as a result, I've also become more and more disgusted with how some of my friends disregard things in the Bible that they don't agree with. I would say that the church wasn't very new age when I was there, but after leaving it, it seems like it's become more and more new age now. I'm in this dilemma now where, I want to show them that God's word isn't something that they can disregard if they don't agree with it, but I also don't want to hurt them, as they are still nice people. But honestly, I'm getting to the point where, I think it's best to offend them than to leave them in their sin. So, I've been trying to just ask them questions about their mentality to try and get them to question things themselves. I'm not sure if it's working, but I hope it does something. But in a way, I'm glad I caught up with some of my old friends, because, it's just helped to reaffirm me that I made the right decision on leaving.
Just imagine followers of Christ speaking to our fellow sister in Christ with the same grace and mercy he flowed into our lives when we received our gift of salvation from Him, instead of speaking in “righteous indignation.” How awesome that frame of ministry could be. 😐
Let this woman be encouraged by your words and thank her for coming into this platform and proclaiming her salvation through Christ. If you have any concerns for her, pray for her, do not try to speak truth in love without given the permission from our Father to correct her. God has placed the correct mentors in her life for her journey. Not random TH-cam warriors.
Thank you Theresa for speaking on your life and giving hope to others in New Age that Jesus Christ will be the only one to fill their void in life. Keep growing in the Lord and seeking after Him so you can continue fulfilling His purpose for your life. ❤️
Amen. So much grace and truth, well said Chelsea.
You know, I like Theresa's respectful tone as she rehashes and discusses the details of her new age experiences, and even speaks with reverence to a degree (out of love and appreciation for the human beings she was associated with at the time), as new agers watching this may feel respect as opposed to belittlement or harsh judgment for their current or past involvement. In my own new age experience (20+ years), I did not know better at the time and was earnest in my spiritual pursuits of goodness, truth, and light. Thankfully, I came to Christ last fall and got saved (praise Jesus!), so now I KNOW by the certainty and sufficiency of God's Word, that JESUS REALLY IS the truth, the way, and the life! He is Lord. Thank you for sharing your story, Theresa. Also, thanks to Steven Bancarz whose videos pointed me to Jesus and led me to salvation. Jesus uses our testimonies in wonderful ways! God bless you.
Yes, God bless Steven!
Understanding false light is what finally snapped the truth of Christ into place for me! Praise Jesus!
Praise God! This was an incredible testimony. As someone who was also in the new age for many years, these were the type of stories that aided in my salvation. There are many layers to unravel when you’ve been brainwashed so deeply. I was deeply traumatized by the level of deceit I was exposed to in the NA, I had a hard time trusting in Jesus in the beginning. I was so afraid of my reality crumbing again. & when you wake up to the truth of Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior - the enemy seems to works double time to keep you doubting. For some, surrendering to Jesus is a longer process. I don’t believe anyone should shy from sharing their testimony based on their “maturity” as a Christian. It doesn’t matter if you are Christian or not, the worst place to be is where you think you have it all figured out. I’m grateful for the compassion and gentleness that Theresa shows for the lost. It’s Christians who tell you that you’re not glorifying God correctly that keep people from the truth.
This was a great interview. The only thing that was difficult for me to hear was when she would refer to the new agers as good people.
"Why do you call me good? No one is good but One, that is, God."
Luke 18:19 NKJV
I'm sure in time she'll grow past saying that and this verse will really sink it. Prayers and blessings to all my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.
I definitely noticed that too.
I agree. Her saying that along with a smile that (at least in how I perceived it) shows that she is being reminiscent at the moment made me feel like she still has this very strong connection infused with warmth and delight when she thinks about those people or certain events. And the danger in holding on to those feelings is that they could potentially draw her back to the life she had before Christ just because of how she feels about those memories. Especially considering the fact that when you walk with the Lord, life can get progressively harder when you grow in your obedience to God. So if emotions are on the forefront here, that’s a dangerous ground to walk on...
BUT! I have to add this: I know how much of a process growing in that obedience and Christ-likeness is and that there is grace for all of us, no matter where we are in that process, so I am in no way saying that this was not a genuine transformation she’s gone through or that God is not working on her heart. I think we, as Christ followers, have this responsibility for accountability where we have to make sure it’s God’s truth that is followed and not our feelings/emotions. So I am thankful that we get to hear testimonies like that, and that there is an actual respectful conversation happening.
@@katrinacherkasskikh7756 she mentioned getting her first bible in 2018. That's really not a long time ago. I think she just needs time with Jesus to process at a pace that's good for her.
@@cutethulu_xo and that’s why I added that part at the end of my comment. However, the emotions you attach to your past matter. I’m sure she is growing in her faith and viewing spiritual experiences from a Biblical perspective, so that’s not what I’m emphasizing here. I’m emphasizing the tone with which things were shared and what that makes me think of.
@@katrinacherkasskikh7756 oh absolutely! It's in the same way that our thoughts matter. We are to take our thoughts captive and such. I enjoyed what you said :)
After my own dark supernatural experience, I had to numb out to survive because my anxiety was so bad. Only reading the Bible made me feel alive and at peace. I would read for hours.
I also fell for the new age lie having delved into hardcore psychedelics.. ayahuasca iboga 5 meo dmt just to mention a few opened up a portal where i meet satan .. most horrific evil i have ever experienced.. this women speaks the TRUTH .. thank you JESHUA for saving me
Really? I’ve done Ibogaine several times to get off opiates and it saved my life....
@@brooketaylor6226
im not talking about Ibogaine but Iboga .. they are 2 seperate things .. Iboga is a ritual with blowing of a rams horn and baptism plus hardcore witchcraft ..
Neither am i talking about the first death but the second death that awaits this physical incarnation eg.
In Revelation 21:8 "[A]s for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, the murderers, the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
Also i can say that for a friend of mine he died last year after the use of ibogaine several times to get him off of heroin. . He ended up overdosing back on more hard drugs ..
I wish you nothing but that you find the real Love of Jesus through firstly repentance.. i had to reach the point of i know that i dont know before He saved me .. All praise to Jeshua
Much Love
Amen
@@tomskikruger577 Thank you!!!! Sorry about you friend... 😢
I completely understand what you’re saying, but Ibogaine really does save and transform people’s lives! I do feel though (like you said) after you take it you’re operating basically on a different frequency, opening yourself up to good but also the possibility of bad... I know Jesus is the one true king, but to FINALLY find something to get me off of/KEEP me off of opiates, I don’t think Ibogaine comes close to these other psycadelics... I hope life is great friend! Thanks 😉
@@brooketaylor6226 your statement on frequencies and opening up to good or bad is all new age talk aka old age Occult up is down and down is up talk .. tell me where in the bible does it ever mention frequencies?
there is no good in those realms period hence why Lucifer also means the light bringer .. the bringer of which light? The false light to decieve you as an angel of light
To then go on and put ibogaine before Jeshua as the reason you got healed is an oxymoron.. even worse if your promoting ibogaine for healing instead of Jeshua as the first port of call
Im not perfect i did the same many times .. spat on Jeshua in the psychedelic realms without knowing the truth .. he rescued me from that vile place .. i am a sinner and fully acknowledge it
I wish you all the best sista
Amen
@@tomskikruger577 I’m confused... your first comment said when you took psychedelics it opened up a ‘portal’, where in the Bible does it say the word portals? Of course Jesus is the reason for me being clean and sober, but I also believe he leads his children to certain things that will help them. For me personally, ibogaine was a tremendous help. It helped me not only grow closer to him, but I was able to get off suboxone with zero withdrawals... which I never would have been able to do without it. Trust me, I’ve tried everything. Even going to healing conferences. I understand what you’re trying to say, but you are also double speaking with your first comment.
I was hooked by new age and supernatural powers when I was a young teenager and tried to experiment with many things but a fear always stopped me from going all the way. Thinking about it now, it seems that the holy Spirit put that fear in me to protect me from those things and I am grateful.
And grateful for Theresa's testimony!!!! I haven't heard any testimony like this and I've listened to many. It's so powerful considering HOW DEEP and "lost in the sauce, if you will, that she was into the 'religion'. CRAZY. Sending it to all my new age friends.
Your testimony is amazing!! Thank you for being brave enough to share with us your story. Funny side note that I live in the AV now and when you said Mojave I was like 😳 prayers this reaches whoever Jesus needs to hear it and this story works in their hearts 💕
2 hours well spent!! This was by far my favorite cultish episode. You can really feel her love for Jesus in her words. What a beautiful testimony; thank you so much for sharing!!! ❤️
Yes! I really started taking a deeper dive into the New Age while seeking alternative healing from chronic illness. I grew up Word of Faith/grassroots NAR so I was already embracing New Thought mindsets but what really set me into the New Age was the 'path to wellness'. So good to hear someone I can relate to! Much needed. Thank you for sharing.
I have a friend who's been in the New Age since I met her 13 years ago. I would ask that anyone who is willing to please pray for Nicole. She is lovely, and "studies" her Bible, but she does this through the lens of New Age beliefs. She recently read a book about how she and God are the co-creators of her life since He is a creator and she is a creator, so they are kinda like creator "buddies". So, she is just Christian adjacent enough to think she is a Christian, without really being one.
I will add your friend Nicole to my prayer list. It is so hard when we can see the deception our loved ones are caught in. But please keep hope, if God managed to save me, when I wanted absolutely nothing to do with him for decades, surely your friend is not out of His reach. Praying other name.
My beautiful lady and mother of my children only recently (about 2 months ago), has just woken up from her 15 year new age slumber to the true creator and saviour and gospel, I stumbled across (God gave me) a vid on yt about the testimony of a lady named Doreen virtue, who was a giant in the new age. When I watched it with my missus she broke down completely and cryed for hours. This woman Doreen virtue was a major part of her life and her new age god religion shattered... here's a link to the vid which will break her belief sytem to pieces and bring her to the truth 👍
th-cam.com/video/SgUDwzlF_KU/w-d-xo.html
Another TH-camr who is fantastic and very knowledgeable but about new age and the Bible is Steven Bancarz. Maybe you could show her some of his videos. I am a former reiki healer and I too called myself Christian at the time. The deception really goes so deep.
How is your friend Nicole?
I hope she doesn’t fall back into New Age. You can tell that she still loves her experiences from the past. She expresses admiration and a longing for it all.
She loves them in the sense that her past glorifies God, because even someone as deep into these experiences as she was, can still find Jesus and use the testemony to bring Glory to Him. :) She won't fall back...
I caught that as well.
If she didn't have her new age background, she might never have found Jesus, nor would she be who she is today. So, she shouldn't hate her past. It was important to have. If she hated her past, that would likely send her into quicksand of hating herself. The past is important.
I don’t usually tune into lengthy episodes of anything, but this was worth it…and if nothing else waiting to hear her story of repentance was huge. Definitely appreciate your ministry.
Always good to hear more testimonies of people coming out of the new age.
Thank you Theresa for sharing. You are an example of Christ's love and grace.
As a teen I got into mediations and energies. It wasn't until I read the scripture in my twenties, that God opened my eyes to the demonic powers that I was in bed with.
If I could depict what a new age demon would look like, it would be an Angler Fish.
A light hanging in front, luring you in with beauty and revelation, but by the time you see its teeth, you're already too far in. The only salvation then, is Christ snatching you away to safety.
😭😭😭♥♥♥🙏🙏🙏 HE truly is sufficient!!! Father God, may this reach and teach those who truly need it most...
Powerful testimony, Theresa! Love you sis! Bringing back so many memories and making so many connections. The New Age is a HUGE money making machine seeded into the lives of upper middle class women back in the day to incubate all these things you talked about here.
I’m currently having to battle the invasion of Eckhart Tolle into some of our member’s readings. It’s scary stuff. Not sure all that he teaches but what I heard was absolute heresy. Would appreciate an episode about his stuff.
You only need to look at his eyes and you can see the familiar spirits, also oprah was mentored and allowed the same spirits to attach to her......2Corinthians10:3-6 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Love hearing her testimony! I didn't grow up new age but I still find very much of it that I can connect to. The Lord bless you and keep you 💞
So far the best episode. Beautiful testimony.
...love and needed this. I have family/loved ones deeply mixed up in all this. she sounds like a twin of someone I love dearly. this gives me hope and refreshes my passion to pray/fast for her... thank you guys for this vid! 🔥
Listened to your testimony! I found it to be enlightening! Thank you Theresa for sharing!!!
This is such a great interview! Some people tell their experiences of new age but Theresa went so far into it which I find so fascinating. I dabbled in new agey stuff but never truly believed any of it, though I also didn't believe in God and the Bible either. I was searching for something (also an alcoholic, hi!). Just starting on my faith journey so this video is so helpful.
Such an awesome and amazing Testimony! I praise God He is going to and will use this in a mighty way as He already is. Love you sister 💜
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new
I grow up Christian, but never really new him. I got into new age and down the rabbit whole I went. God never left me and went after his lost sheep. The Holy Spirit revealed the truth to me. I now know who Jesus is truly. I was practicing astral project and activation meditation, I felt evil spirits around and God pulled me away. The New age is deceiving a lot of lost souls and I feel called to help others lost.
Please so many need you! These people need the gospel the true gospel all of it not all dressed up just the simple gospel is enough!!!! Praise God for His Word that He watches over to perform! Amen
It's amazing that you follow the new age practices without ever being in them to know what's going on and the lies told by the enemy. I wish more Christians would do this and have more understanding so they could help their brothers and sisters and others come to Christ.
Learned so much from this exceptional guest. Interview guys did a a great job.! So glad I found this one!
Beautiful testimony Sister thank you for sharing I pray it will be used to bring The true truth to many God bless you all in Jesus name Amen ❤
Wow! Thankyou for your testimony! I have a cousin engulfed in the new age in Canada. She attends Shambala...similar to burning man. She was raised Christian but somehow got enticed into the new age. I also doubted God's goodness in my late 20s while going through a nasty divorce. I started searching the new age for answers and dabbled in yoga, and the "secret". My mom introduced me to tea leaf reading that opened the door to darkness and for Satan to reek havoc on my family. Long story all that happened after her and I got our tea leaves read, bit I believe that act brought evil to my family, our home and eventually the death of my Dad.
Thankyou for exposing the darkness. Bless you
Atlanta is full of people like who she used to be. I hope they all come to Jesus like she did.
Jeremiah, you are very intelligent and definitely know a myriad of facts about cultish things. But you gotta remember to either stay on track when you steal mic time from your guest, or please just let them tell their story! I wanted to hear about Mormon murders and but I barely heard the guest speak!
I agree. Love him but he tends to go on personal tangents
This feedback given to him is consistent on every video I’ve watched… I do wish he’d take it to heart, maybe he has… It comes across as an ego out of control. Please, please sit back and allow your guests to tell their story! Maybe in the end you can offer up your thoughts. It would make for a more cohesive and followed discussion. Plus- it’s not easy to tell our stories. Giving grace and patience and humility is the way to go.
You have a perfect podcast voice!
I disagree
@@jesuschristiskingofkingslo2023 hey brother, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.
“For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks...The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.” Matthew 12:34-35
Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Saying "disagree" is not an insult really, not a nasty opinion either, just an opinion
@@jesuschristiskingofkingslo2023 who cares
She does, sounds exactly like women on radio shows. Crisp and clear. She could definitely read audiobooks haha.
Knowing both the truth about the depths of the sin nature and grace and mercy of the atonement and this woman and how she has poured into others the past few years, the fear and reverence she has before the Lord, and how viscously the enemy attacks this type of thing.... I have to say well done and yes, this episode is not the end all be all of a conversation... it's the beginning of one. From reading the other comments, it is once again clear that many in the body of Christ err in trying to judge anyone and everyone in fragments of conversations. Are new agers "good people"... clearly not, because we are ALL sinners and we ALL fall short of the glory of God. I can tell you, the lack of love between those in what unbelievers perceive Christianity to be and the constant bickering online does nothing for the cause of bringing people into the kingdom of God. GRACE is often what's missing online. God help us all.
Are there lovely people (relatively and humanly speaking) in every belief system out there, yeah, well pretty much.... hate to break it to you, but there are. Deception is involved, but people can still be recognized for being kind to one another. Most people can handle the nuance of that without getting bogged down. Sadly, many of the people that have been "church hurt" have strayed into alternative spiritual practices because they are looking for love and healing that they didn't find with those who were claiming to follow Jesus, but weren't actually expressing His compassion to the hurting. God help us all.
If that's you and you are reading this, please don't let what sinful people did keep you from knowing the actuality of who JESUS is. He is real. He sacrificed His life in exchange for yours. No greater love that you will know in both this action AND in the ACTUAL LIVING PERSON that He is. He wants a real relationship with you and came to restore you to GOD in the fullness of who He is. That's why all the distraction and counterfeiting-- it's just to throw you off track and keep you from that. This is the entire aim of the false light.
As for the church- pray, speak truth in love, encourage, love one another as He has loved you. We make it too hard. He came to set captives free. Hallelujah.
You put all of my thoughts into words more eloquently than I could. As a newly saved (a few months) person myself I felt the exact same way after reading through the comments.
Came out of the new age and turned to Jesus on January 9th. So grateful I have a Christian naturopath who warns against these new age practices
I am searching for such a doctor. Are you in California?
@@Weissguys6 no but she does everything virtually after reviewing your labs and muscle testing. It took about 10 months but she has helped me heal so much.
Funny the first "mediation" I went too all I could think about was how this was like some of our prayer evenings LOL. Now mind you I went from progressive, hyper charismatic into New Age, but the whole experience was oddly so much like the church I grew up in. Praise God he delivered me.
brilliant interview and testimony. identified with a lot including sadly suicides within my na circles, made me go hmmm. Made me laugh when you commented that no one in the new age thinks they are - this was me so much, slow process to Jesus as Lord for me but i believe its happening
That question if satan is real does that mean Jesus is real-being a truther since 9eleven. Exactly how it happened for me
Same!
Exactly what happened to me! My heart sank into my stomach the moment I realised the devil isn’t fake. He’s very very real. You can’t convince anyone of this but you can help them find out for themselves. That’s when I looked up and realised that God was real and how deceived I had been all this time. Even the devil masquerades as an angel of light don’t be fooled a moment longer guys!?
hallelujah that is awesome. I am seeing that a lot in the past year also with people diving down the rabbit holes bc of the 'rona and all. And its brought a lot of people to Christ. What satan meant for evil, God used for good.
@@torytor1596 I am a former reiki healer. Amazing looking back how foolish I was, not knowing God’s Word. The first thing we say when calling our spirit guides(demons) in, is ‘I am protected by divine white light.’ It makes me cringe so hard now that I’m saved. It was only two years and I only did it(self healing sessions) a few times because I had such a physical aversion to it, but I was under such insane demonic oppression now that I know what it all means. The Lord is so good. And He is pouring out His Holy Spirit on His people in these end days. Answer the call everyone! All the peace and love you’ve been looking for your whole life, you will find in the Most High! 🙏❤️
Love hearing the stories of you guys! Especially at a time when a lot of Christians who don't have a solid grounding are being deceived and led in the opposite direction
It was a portal to the Lake of Fire, but they are great people and do a lot of good.
Perhaps she is trying her best to not slander and gossip. These people are all made in the image of God... she shouldn't hate them.
@@crystalhaataja304 this is true but having said that, sin is still sin. Which is exactly why these “good people” who may have good intentions and do “good” things are still completely lost and looking for their way home in the wrong direction. Of course, they don’t realize it.. but that’s even more of a reason to share the gospel with them, to bare the fruits to show them Christ lives through those who seek him, and for believers to help them to find THE truth. Good doesn’t get you away from sin. Only forgiveness through the blood of Christ washes that sin away. Yes, we are all created in His image, but he gave us the free will to choose the path we want to take. The path of righteousness or the path to hell. There is no in between.
Thank you so much for doing this!!!
wow this is amazing and so encouraging to see how God works
Man oh man, this was a really great conversation.
Dam I had some experience with greys when I was in the military. An it shook me then after I had sleep paralysis for almost 3 years. I prayed to christ and it stoped to cold Turkey that time so I said there's something to this thanks jesus the way the truth an the life. Haha I feel like the male version of you God bless your beautiful soul is great to help others.
Audio Shaman “special guy” “ the NICEST guy”
We need to be really careful here to realize that we are talking about demonic behavior. She was being led into the demonic realm by this “special NICE GUY.” This is only one example of her romanticized memories of what should be a terrifying past, not one to look back on with a catch of longing in your voice.
I realize this precious woman is young in the Lord. I pray sincerely no other young believers are led astray by her idealized version of her journey in which she was snatched from the gates of Hell.
I was quite troubled by this interview for this reason. After watching this, will you humbly join me in praying over this concern? ❤️ Please forgive me if I am speaking out of turn or have come to a wrong conclusion. I very well may have!
Edited to add:
The ending and her salvation testimony was beautiful. I just pray everyone hangs on through to the end.
You are completely right. I share a similar testimony, and I used to do the exact same by looking on my previous life and reminiscing/romanticizing. Boy oh boy was that an open door for the enemy to get a foothold. A door that has since been shut in light of God's grace. Not only have I been delievered from that dead mans life, but I've been shown that there is nothing there to miss.
God bless.
@@TwentyTwoThirtyThree thank you for your words of grace. It was very hard for me to write what I did. I enjoy this ministry and everything these guys stand for. ❤️
I can understand your concern. And this was my biggest fear honestly. I promise you I do not miss my life in the new age at all, if you knew the details of my life and what I have given up things might make more sense. And here's a few things that may give some context to possibly why it all came out the way it did: It was only the night before that I was able to share the majority of my testimony with one of the hosts, and I had set a goal of getting to the part where Jesus presented Himself to me at the half way point. But surprise that's not the way it worked out with hosts and all. Also I just happen to be quite loving and expressive. And I really didn't want to mention the name of the cafe, which threw me off. But honestly if cafe gratitude hadn't come into my life I'd likely be dead, so I am grateful for them, as well as for the medicine man who adopted me as a spiritual father~ and their possibly coming to salvation bc of me having love is more important to me than belittling them. But honestly I've had to repent multiple times this week for not saying what I always say when I talk about the "good" people from parts of my new age life which is "they were good people in terms of the world, but WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD" (not screaming, just emphasizing). I literally always say that but we were trying to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time and I absolutely hate being on camera so I was incredibly nervous. IDK. Add into the mix that I had a full blown panic attack right before filming and averaged about 2 hours a night of sleep for over a week leading up to this day... yes I'll be the first to admit I wish I would have said some things differently. But I proclaimed that Jesus saved me and I shared John 3:16. And John 3;16 was enough for me to get saved so I pray it may be for others. I am asking for grace from all of you condemning me, I did the best I could. And just for reference I am getting tons of messages from people, some new agers, some people who are just beginning to find their way to Christ and some believers~ and they are thanking me. I trust the Holy Spirit on this. I have to. I cant go back. I can only learn. God bless you.
@@theresagentry hello, thank you for your courage to publicly give your testimony. My mother is involved in Native American/New Age religion, along with cousins involved in Wicca and myself was involved in related beliefs, and in I know how you feel with the thought of them being good, never the less, Jesus said there is none good but God. I wish you all the best in your growth in Christ, and hope that through your testimony many come to know the real Christ.
@@theresagentry good response. I get nervous on camera as well or sharing parts of my former walk with others. I am an ex new ager as well and can relate to your story quite a bit looking back. May the Father continue to renew our minds and hearts daily so we may be better equipped to share the gospel.
Wait what? She is seeing Jesus? Does this happen to other people? I have never "seen" or had an encounter that I know of where Jesus actually shows me something and confirms his presence. I would love for this to happen, I love Jesus so much and want to see him and spend time with him. Why haven't I had this? I feel good just being around another Christian and thickening the spirit in discussion of the gospel. You are so blessed. Thank you for this story.
Whoever may read this, I need some help with prayers for my dad who's very sick and in the hospital, family in Christ.I would greatly appreciate this. I love you all, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ✝️🙏🏾
I prayed
@@louipeters1221 Thank you, family, God bless you. It is truly needed 💯🙏🏾✝️
I Prayed for your Dad and your Family. God Bless you.
@@estellacoggins715 Thank you, and may the Lord bless you!!🙏🏾🙌🏾🙂
I relate so much to her and her story. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so very much 🙏😊
I believe my 23 year old son is getting involved in this world of spirits, mysticism, etc. I pray for him and I know God is sovereign but I also want to know what do you recommend I do for him.
So trippy the same thing happened to me when I left the New Age, with the realization of the darkness and Satan being real and the ruler of this world. From there I started thinking about Jesus and was He really who He said he was. Asking why was He so rejected by society at large. Then I read the book of Revelation and the Holy Spirit opened my eyes.
Amen, woe are those who aren't gonna realize the power of Jesus Christ until the trumpets start blaring and almighty God shows them who is the Lord.
Shout out to Basil and Gonz from Face Like The Sun!
Not so much to Flippy tho.
Seems like sanfransisco in general is a very spiritually wicked location
San Francisco and Chicago to be specific are specifically very wicked locations so you are spot on.
A hell mouth. London too. And Amsterdam.
Demonic
Yes sir indeed
I feel like it goes back to the 60’s and 70’s when psychedelics was being brought into the rock scene especially in San Francisco
Theirs been brothers and sisters in Christ who been under the influence who have seen the realm of the wicked
From someone living in the South Bay Area, yes you are spot on. So many disgusting things are completely normal here, it sickens me.
Look up the "hallucinogenic churches of The Bay" There are places that call themselves churches and model their meetings, dress, speech, and location after churches and are all about DMT and mushrooms. Horrific.
That's so funky! I live up in NorCal near Nevada City and we would go up there growing up cuz it's a cute little town and have some fun events. Didn't realize it was a new age hub. Just knew it as a cute little hippie town. She was talking about it and I was like I know exactly where that is!
Praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing your amazing testimony with us!
when you were talking about Russel l Brand I quickly checked an incoming message, hopped over to IG and the first post there is Russell Brand taking a selfie with a fan, WOW!
This is extremly true how the true christ draws us unto him, i literaly made a folder for testimonies !
One word JESUS.🙏
Amen.
Thank you all for this truth
42:30 Woah, someone was doing this to me last night over dinner. I had no idea what she was doing so I just starting praying.
I think its only by the grace of God that folks don't get possessed as much as they used to , especially when we are taking tons of drugs and playing with portals , all the sketch stuff.
They may not be fully possessed vessels but they have familiar spirits attached to their spinee.
I am surprised that this language of portals etc has crept into the church.. Opening the portals of heaven and blessing??
And dance in the church with flags and prophetic painting etc?? Is that the same thing?
Dangerous?
Wonderful interview!
Yay for Theresa!!!
Beautiful testimony praise God
So so good! 🙌🏼😭
Can y'all do an episode that expounds on ecstatic dance? I'm curious to know if there is a connection to the "dance worship" common in modern Messianic Jewish groups. 🤔
I was having similar thoughts. Likely another counterfeit.
In that case, any form of dance could be classified as demonic. If you disagree with the idea of dancing at all, then I understand why you would feel this way. Remember how she says she broke body parts without knowing how? That is an indicator of trance possession.
Persephone, I think you're right. Thank you for your comment. I think the concerns I have with the dance worship I have seen have more to do with the songs that are being responded to rather than the dancing itself, although participants should be discerning in terms of which songs are appropriate to dance to.
Awe im praying for Russell too 🙏
The Burning Man Temple reminds me of the OT priests who gave a sin offering in the Tabernacle, over and over.
I still have spiritual experiences now as a Christian..last 2 nights in a row I had spiritual attack at night. I dreamt I was being dragged across the wall and ceiling 1st, then I saw the shadow spirit the second night. Both dreams but not normal dreams. I have been trying harder lately to live a more obedient life..
My husband has dreams like this. Less often now. It is not punishment for lack of obedience, God would not do that to you. My husband has had great success just leaning into Jesus and commanding the enemy in the name of Jesus to leave you alone. He gave you authority for this very purpose! Also, my husband now takes all of his dreams, whether from God or not, to God for insight. It's been so amazing to hear his conversations 😊
@Saint Graham - Make sure to check out the various Apologia sessions with Steven Bancarz. You may find some helpful content there. Take heart, brother. You are sealed with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.” - John 14:15-17
I had similar experiences for a little while even after I was saved. Eventually they lessened. Keep in the word of God and pray. 🙏 Are you in a community of other Christians that can encourage and support you?
@@tylerhochstetler8493 thanks. I'll have a look at them today.
@@jessicaottis6127 I go to a Baptist church. I could talk to them. I may if it continues.
Don't get me wrong, I love testimonials. But during this, there sounds of almost reminiscing more than explaining the past. Also I understand being nice when explaining people from your past but to give them such reverence and acting as though them making you take psychedelics and praising false gods is okay is far from something that you should respect them for. The intent of their heart means nothing when they actively kept you on the path to hell.
I agree. I've been in her shoes, its easy to end up reminiscing when trying to portray your testimony to people. Not that its right, and I've definitely regretted the times that I've done it myself. The satanic realm and new age is so alluring, and once you've dabbled, it leaves deep scars. Scars I wish would leave me 😔
@@TwentyTwoThirtyThree I love that you're open about admitting it though. Thats something that's hard to do!
The only reason I made my comment as well because I used to do that too. Looking back almost fondly at my previous life instead of being glad I'm no longer in it.
It's a struggle I know we ALL face. But now we are here in Christ which is amazing. I'll keep you in my prayers!
@@SugarySmallpox I'm really glad to hear those words. God has really changed me and saved me from that life, but being young in my faith I'm just filled with so much doubt everyday. I used to spend hours in the word everyday, but it feels as though the enemy has walked in and stripped my desire for God and the Word. I don't know where im going wrong, don't know what to pray....its just such a battle...and working 12 hour night shifts alone my mind is just constantly under attack.
@@TwentyTwoThirtyThree brother I work overnights too!! I'm actually on shift right now haha, trust me intrusive thoughts continue to come to mind. Especially when you are alone. You got this, pray anything! My biggest problem was that too, I didn't know what to say so I simply didn't. Just start somewhere and do it often. The more time in prayer and scripture the closer to God you get. It's hard for sure and I'm still working on it but the struggle is worth the progress made
@@SugarySmallpox Haha, how about that! Some nights do feel awfully dark, but I do know that the work He has started He will finish. I really appreciate your words. So awesome running into other believers on the battlefield
I appreciate your testimony… so much, Theresa 🫶
So good!
Amen, praise God! 🙌
I’d actually like to hear more about her faith in Christ. We got a very small bit of her actually testifying of Christ. Mostly reminiscing . That answers no ones question of howChrist can redeem us. Please cultish focus more on the new life
Exactly, who cares about someone's "experiences", let's hear about what God has done in your life.
Well you both completely missed the lesson. Do you think the people who listened to this are in the new age? Is this just entertainment to you? Come on think about it...
@@danielsvision not sure you understand the point. But whatever. Have a good day.
@@flowerpower3618 sorry I should have read your comment properly, I understand your point, the only reason I am on this channel is to understand the inner workings of false gospels, to reach out to these deceived people and share the true gospel. Sorry again
Comment to spread the word, folks!
Thank you for sharing your testimony Theresa. Just my opinion on this video on the whole: It feels like none of you are calling a spade a spade. Everything is veiled in language that is so vague and bland. If you are going to pluck up the courage to make a video like this and for the presenters to ask the questions then call a thing a thing.
I can understand your concern. And this was my biggest fear honestly. It was only the night before that I was able to share the majority of my testimony with one of the hosts, and I had set a goal of getting to the part where Jesus presented Himself to me at the half way point.

You guys did a few interviews with another person who was really into new age, he was a 20ish man. But I can't seem to find those vids? Anyone know his name?
Likely Stephen Bancarz
How about a video on the IBLP cult next?
I know Teresa personally. She condemns her New Age past very enthusiastically. Please read her sub-comment to Sugary Smallpox, where she explains some of the circumstances around the filming of the interview.
Theresa said more than once how caring the restauranteurs are, and how they have a lot of compassion for people and did “good works” for people. Satan comes as a angel of light. It reminded me of how satan deceives people by thinking that, they are a better person, by “doing good works”. Works of course, does not pay the debt that Christ paid on the cross for our sins and atonements.. Jesus said that he will separate the goat 🐐 from the sheep 🐑
Those restauranteurs were quite demonic.
Thank God, The Lord lead you to repenting and surrendering your life.
So did Paul then meet Satan on the road to Damascus? And who then is the light of the world?
Praise God
Uh oh I’m a new ager without knowing it and starting to emerge from it in a similar way
Seek Christ and surrender to Him! Pray for discernment and start reading His Word even if it’s just a little at first 😊
“I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of angels of God over one sinner who repents.” -Luke 15:10
Well don't be doing drugs and take the good that Jesus showed us. Meditating is not a bad thing. Jesus did it all the time. But meditating on drugs to reach a alternate realm? Nah. Discernment is everything.
What a y’all think about celebrate recovery?
I would love them to address this ministry.
When she say she was “praying” in Mexico, who exactly was she praying to?
You know, there sure are a lot of mean Christians here. No wonder no one wants to listen to what you have to say. Certainly this dear sister condemns her past, but you want her to condemn the people she called family for many years. Do you condemn your unsaved family? You are the same people who listen to Bethel music. New Age spirituality is in your church and you don’t even know it. Listen to her!
Praise God!
One of the best guests on this podcast. Too bad the host insists on interrupting with stupid subjects like Joe Rogan and Marvel comics.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Wow so beautiful is God's love!
I do love cultish. ..
Y'all do an amazing thing giving a platform to expose many evils .
But... this... THIS sounds like nothing but reminiscing and romanticizing.
I didn't get down with the way this made me feel.
Agreed!
"For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools"
She said she got her first bible in 2018. That's not that long ago. Cut her a little slack. She is new in her walk and needs more time with Jesus to process her many years without him. It's hard to just just do a 180 with every aspect of your life when you are born again. This is what grace is for.
@@cutethulu_xo Absolutely, but the most healthy thing for a new believer is to be convicted and confronted with Biblical truth in order to be sanctified.
I was only born again about 6 months ago from a life of addictions and head full of new age garbage. The most healthy and wholesome thing for me has been God showing me just how pitiful my attempts at holiness have been.
To a new believer, or to a believer of many years, the truth and conviction are one of our greatest friends.
@@TwentyTwoThirtyThree Amen! Awesome to hear your victory ☺️ Hearing her talk about her encounter with Jesus, and the reverence in her voice towards Him put me more at ease with her reminiscent tone. It took me several years to overcome my addiction, because I was too focused on my own striving to accept His grace. We all walk at different paces and that's okay. Even though her flesh may miss her old days for now, I think she has definitely experienced how different it is with Christ.
At least, that's what I gathered from hearing her talk and how her tone shifted when she talked about her encounter with Jesus.
Where is this church plant on Kauai?! My husband and I will be there soon for a family reunion for eight days. His family is all Hindu. My husband and I are the only Christians in the family and would like to worship with faithful believers during that time. The Lord saved my husband out of a New Age cult Matthews on a silent meditation retreat in the jungles of Costa Rica (He read the new testament in a Gideon Bible he took from the hotel right before heading into the jungle Even though he was supposed to not read or think about anything during the retreat).
Can you explain whats wrong with the 4 agreements? Reading about each agreement has made a big positive impact in my life.
I love cafe gratitude…
"a spiritual junkie". I've met many like her - and been there myself. The end result: doing everything, finding nothing. Sorta like if you threw 1000 1000 piece puzzles on the floor, and then tried to put the pieces together to make 1 picture. Yes, some pieces you'll find will fit, and maybe you can hook together 1000 pieces, but how do you connect them to the other 999 puzzle sets? Personally, it became exhausting, I didn't like the lack of logic, and it all went nowhere. Well, not really, it had about as much spiritual enlightenment as a cup of coffee. Once you're on the next cup of coffee the taste of the first is gone.
“Breathworks alter consciousness “. Hello?!
Not sure why, but I’m getting this sense that she’s lying about her early past. It’s so vague and generalized. She’s talking but she’s not saying anything. I’m only 15 minutes in. Let’s see where this goes
