I also know that not everyone shares my beliefs, and not everyone is a Christian, but please know that there is no judgement in my heart! A lot of us have different beliefs and that’s ok, but I wanted to share my perspective and how it connects to my own faith. I believe the Bible is the word of God and should be taken seriously. Please don’t get the wrong idea, I promise I’m not trying to hate on anyone at all!
Honestly, we all get that, your radiate really kind energy but next time be more careful with the terms "from the enemy" and "from the Devil" and etc, but it KINDA sounds rude and lowkey feels like an attack to non-Christians. I get it that your intentions are pure and nice but please choose your words more carefully next time.
You were brought to this video as a warning from God. It's your free will ...but I would STRONGLY advise NOT to turn to the occult. The key to unhappiness ...is selfishness ...Derek prince.
I’ve been praying every day since February and that has done more for me and helps me more than law of attraction ever could. People need to start praying more. God will guide you to what he wants for you. 🙏🏻✝️
God helps us definitely but he doesn't make us want something. its free will and at the end of the day its up to us to decide how we live our lives and how we should fit God into it. for instance, suppose i wanna be a rapper or something. God won't try to force being a middle school teacher on me if he knows im gonna be depressed doing that shit
@@caseyj7052 wrong! We don’t just live life like we want and then try to FIT God into it. No, the lord say if we want a relationship with him, we must die to worldly things and LIVE FOR CHRIST JESUS, not for ourselves or how we want to. That’s being double minded.
@@aleayh well that’s just too bad because i certainly don’t believe that and i’m not doing that. that makes no sense. and like the girl in the vid said, there’s no right or wrong, we all got our own fucking beliefs. conversation over, God bless.
So why did he say to ask what we desire snd it shall be done. It seems Jesus knew about the law of attraction himself. Ask, believe and it shall be given to you. Sounds like LOA to me
@@brendabenitez7359 if you are living for God you are asking him to help you live out his purpose. To give you strength to live out his purpose. It is all according to his will. His purpose. Not that job you want or the car or that perfect boyfriend.
@@lillianbrusseau500 doesn’t he put the desire in your heart? If that’s the case then why did Jesus say to ask. That’s the thing about religion/Christianity that I don’t understand. Thank God Jesus wasn’t religious at all. On the contrary he was totally against it. He didn’t go to synagogues to pray instead he went out into the wilderness by himself to pray to God. Ultimately God is in you and in all his creation hence the universe
@@lillianbrusseau500 that sounds like torture. What if your desire is to have children. Isn’t that his purpose for us, he said to ask him and he will give it to you. We shall live life in abundance, Jesus said. I dropped Christianity and decided to follow Jesus instead and in fact he was against the religion and the church. They have managed to manipulate what you in fact read in the Bible. If Jesus had his 12 disciples then why is there only 4 gospel books that we get to read. Who made that choice? The church! It’s a manipulation. Jesus was a mystic, he had oneness with God and so do we. God is in us and we have the power that he gave us to do these things. Jesus said to believe it is done and that’s it. Once I started asking myself these questions and paying attention to how Jesus lived, showing love and helping others, being thankful for everything and living a sinless life, I began to see the beauty in life. We become happy. He is with us at all times and around us in nature. He is energy/an intelligent force/spirit that is everywhere. Jesus knew that! We have the power in our minds to heal ourselves and create our reality. Our biggest enemy is our mind and that’s what we must control. We don’t play God, we leave it in his hands, believe he heard our prayers and stay happy waiting for it to come, that is faith my friend!
The first thing I do after waking up is say my prayers. I'm not always perfect at this, but to me it's a way of showing the God comes first and that I am excited to talk to Him and get to know Him. This also applies well when going to bed or during the day when difficult situations arise and you need guidance.
i think saying affirmations are fine... it’s like you’re saying it to a friend, it’s encouraging and it helps people. manifesting includes being grateful and content with your current situation and you can still thank God for everything and remain faithful.
Affirmations are not fine. When you do them with intention they are like magic tools. Affirmations are just thoughts but with intention to have a result they become sorcery
@habeshaa 815 if you write down your goals it's not law of attraction, it's just a reminder / motivational list. 90% of people does :) but if you start using techniques then it's loa and yes, it's demonic :/ (I used it to, don't worry I'm not a Christian crazy girl. but I stopped, fortunately.)
When I saw this video in my recommended, I was confused. I didn’t know what the law of attraction was, new age, and didn’t completely understand the definition of manifestation. After watching this video, I reset my mind and am so grateful to be with God and Jesus as they guide me. Thank you for uploading this very inspiring video! Thanking the Lord for how he has guided me in life!
God is within you and you are above all principalities. You are sitting next to the father, right by Jesus. You have power, he gave it to you! Thanks to Jesus we know about this. He said we will do far greater things than he did. It’s all thanks to him.
y’all she did mention that she’s not judging anyone who manifests. im not christian, so she is targeting her christian viewers or any viewers who want more info ab manifestation. if ur not christian, just swipe away from this vid. she’s not making u watch this
She’s showing her experience with law of attraction but the truth is it’s deceiving and it’s not from God, it’s huge lie from the enemy and God wants us to have wisdom and discernment
No matter if your Christian or not , not to be rude but I'm trying to protect many people from that LOA is horrifying! I'm down for living the dream life☺ but I don't support a way where it could get out of control and it makes you selfish! I have a couple of friends who used to do LOA but after a while it ruined their lives 😞 why? Because it makes you think your your own god and that's not okay. Also they couldn't control everything and it got to out of hand . For a while it made them depressed until they found Jesus.
as a 15 year old girl, I've been sucked into LOA and manifestation for over a year now. there were clear warning signs but at first, i chose to ignore them. i also had a period of research to see if this was biblical, and i too was deceived with the Bible quotes being used to back the person's claim. after several months, i got this video recommended just today and im so glad i did. it may be hard for me to stop at first, but i'll fight through it, for Jesus
you might have a misconception of the what the law of attraction is.. i think what you’re trying to convey is that you don’t want to intentionally serve the Ego..which results to the surrender to God. yet, surrendering to God is still attracting that very thing.. wether u repel or embrace the law of attraction, the law is still at work. it’s the only way our free will can have momentum to create the life our hearts desire. that’s why no one can runaway from it. its embedded in the fabric of creation.
You are still young and God loves you! Search "Steven Bancarz law of attraction" he goes way in depth on how demonic LOA is, please ignore the previous persons reply to your comment, they want to derail you from the truth
Wow. I'm a Christian but I've been so tempted to dabble into the LOA. Then this video popped up. Thank you so much for this sis❤️ I don't want to be selfish but filled with Chirst and his desires for me.
You have free will hun lol use it god didnt make any of us cosmic slaves what would be the point of getting judged if we didnt have free will independent from god ?
@FIGHT Mark 11:24. “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask IN PRAYER, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” loa isn't in prayer to God through Christ. Jesus' words from the beginning would never contradict what He says today or in a million years to come. ask God and God will give you according to His riches in glory. He loves providing for His children and He always does it at the right time
It seems good and bad. God didn’t ask us to love thy neighbor and hate their sin. He just asked us to love. Conviction from sin comes from the Holy Spirit. Making people aware that it’s a sin is okay but forcing them to change isn’t our job. We are simply supposed to love them.
I really appreciated this video. I was recently very hurt by the "new age culture," feeling gaslit and manipulated by it for not being "healed" enough (I have a lot of trauma and PTSD), and letting it lead me into some delusional thought-spirals, and similar to your experience, feeling extremely anxious about my own thoughts "attracting" bad things to myself. So, even though I'm not particularly religious myself and we don't have identical perspectives, it's refreshing to see people rejecting this new "culture" and calling out how it can harm us without us even realising it. And since so many of the more popular new age believers will use the Bible and Christ to gain the trust of their Christian followers who are tempted by LOA and "manifestation," I think having religious Christian perspectives like yours to challenge it is very important ♡
Thank you. You stopped me from scripting, and I am very grateful to you. ❤❤❤ I am a pianist and am worried about my career because of an injury I had. I was scripting, and now I'm not anymore. I'm praying.
I'm a Muslim and i agree with it. I've lived 2 years of my life in that shit but didn't know it was witchcraft. I hope more religious people talk about that. Thank you so much! You were the one who made me realize it's witchcraft. I know the word in Arabic and know it's Haram but my silly mind never made the connection 😂 or perhaps i was so blinded by my desires that i stopped believing in my religion and started worshipping this or that method making it my idol. Note that my desires were against my religion and that was the first ever test i was put in from Allah. I was to choose between my religion and God (which I've had a strong connection to him and loved him so much) or my earthly desires by witchcraft. And poor me chose witchcraft over God. Still didn't get them and I also failed the test horribly but I was a teen back then, i was only 18 back then. One thing to add to even make it worse, if my desired were permissible i would've gone 100% to God and prayed to make them mine through him. But at the first road cross i walked away from God. I think he did this to show that i wasn't a true believer as i thought i was. Thank you so much for your video, we're sisters in faith as we're both heavenly Abrahamic religions 🙏💞
Islam is another religion completely founded by the devil. One of my best friends was a Muslim for 42 years. He found Jesus and is so very very free. Jesus loves you, died for you and overcame sin and death. He will set you free from all fear. The Bible is not twisted - it is verifiably truth. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. ❤ much love to you
Salaam sister Sophia. Just wanted to drop some appreciation to you for this video. There does not seem to be much content on TH-cam in any way addressing the New Age practices like manifesting from any religious perspective and/or looking critically at the practice. As your muslim brother a lot of what you said resonated with things I have observed, the idea of it being like a prayer to oneself or a prayer without God. I liked your emphasis on focusing on God’s will and surrendering to God, which is the definition of the word Islam. God bless! 😊
God bless you for being a LIGHT! Thank you for not hiding your lamp under a bush and delivering this word in boldness 🤍 This was so amazing and I can tell your heart is pure delivering this message. I’m praying this penetrates the darkness others are in with manifesting and new age! Praying the Lord rewards your and protects you for your obedience 🤍
This video led me to being saved. I was pretty deep into new age but something didn’t feel right. The blinders fell off after I watched this and a couple of testimonies. THANK YOU 🙏🏼🕊
I manifested a lot of money while doing LOA, but after that I've been dreaming dead people choking me and staring at me. I woke up catching my breath, scared and played a worship song right away. My mother also got sick, she almost died. I stopped LOA since then. I knew some evil spirit gave me the money I manifested, not God.
@@Tania-rg7jp Exactly. Peoples interest in it is for selfishness and greed. Not for pure spiritual enlightenment and knowledge, as it should be. They're confused upon their own beliefs and are not on the proper spiritual level to attain or even understand it. Until they recognize the divine within themselves, it will be nothing more than a trend or hobby.
@@hustlingtoberich the law of attraction is worshiping the devil, this life is temporary, for us to have an eternal life we need to belive in jesus, if you believe in the law of attraction you are a follower of satan , yes satan can give you money and help you become rich if thats what you want, you can communicate with satan and his angels, and yes you will get evil dreams and start seeing things you dont want to see, because its all from the devil.
Well done, wise video. I’m 42 and I got very into the LOA scene for a few years at age 27, but found my way back to my loving father who is Lord of all and Lord of my life now. Every gift we have and every good thing is from him, all glory to him. 💗 Ask, believe, receive, through Jesus and he promises to answer us. 🙏🏼
Not as much energy as praying to God to make something happen or feeling lost when you don’t know how to fix something or know why things happen the way they do because ”God works in mysterious ways” bs lol
Don’t get me wrong, I believe in God but maybe not as much as I should. But that’s the perception I get from this, is to just sit back and let God handle everything for you?
I was heavily into success, wealth, manifesting, LOA, tarot, crystals, yoga, mediation, and pendulums ! So this is amazing. I love the biblical affirmations !!!
Still sounds like you are looking for a genie . Your relationship with God isn’t about finding a Biblical spell that will grant your wishes. The Bible teaches humility not magical wishing spells.
@@bluwng I go to church and I very much love God. Do you think its a sin if I ask him for a physical change? Nothing else, just physical change. And it is okay to manifest a physical change? Im just asking.
It is perfectly good to sound cheesy for the Lord. He will appreciate that you publicly stood and spoke His truth. Especially as a young person, many of whom are impressionable. Keep standing and speaking up for the Lord, he sees your courage. This coming from someone older than you. God bless.
This whole video was exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve already been stepping away from from LOA for a while and growing closer to Christ but this just solidified everything now. Thank you for this.
There’s only one thing we can affirm boldly: that we are forgiven of our sins and have eternal life through Christ. Great video and testimony, Sophia! Been waiting for this video for quite some time and I’m definitely impressed by how much you’ve grown into your faith since last year!! I didn’t know about the loa movement, but it’s insane how new age and most ungodly practices crawl into our lives like seemingly harmless things. We should be extra careful to not be deceived, like you said, and be rooted in God’s word
I agree! My preacher called it, “Warming yourself at the devil’s fire,” and pointed to the way Peter denied Jesus 3 times while standing in the courtyard
SAME! I remember reading the book "The secret" with a pre-conception of how great this book is and I remember just how confused, disappointed and overwhelmed I felt with endless questions concerning things that didn't sit well with me or my religious beliefs. But I kept telling myself you didn't get the message right, there's no way all these people with your religious background are wholeheartedly preaching the same exact book and the concept of the law of attraction as a whole. It wasn't until I had a talk with my mama that I released why this confusion makes sense, it's because it doesn't go hand in hand with our religion. Actually it could be entirely opposing our belief in destiny/قضاء وقدر
This is my first time of hearing about the man and his book. From the introduction I knew it was not from God even though it quoted Bible verses, then I skipped and read on and I saw more lies. Those scriptures quoted works if only a man sets his gaze upon the Lord Jesus Christ who died and gave himself for us. We celebrate him and he does it. We set our gaze on the Lord, we meditate on the Lord, we delight ourselves in him and he grants our hearts desires, actually when you you meditate on the Lord, forgetting your needs, not minding them our needs are met, he said first seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and every other thing will be added to us. Matthew 6:24-34 [24]“No one can be a slave of two masters; he will hate one and love the other; he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. [25]“This is why I tell you not to be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn't life worth more than food? And isn't the body worth more than clothes? [26]Look at the birds: they do not sow seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds? [27]Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it? [28]“And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves. [29]But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers. [30]It is God who clothes the wild grass - grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burnt up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? How little faith you have! [31]“So do not start worrying: ‘Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?’ [32](These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. [33]Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things. [34]So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
Thank you so much, this really really helped me. I was so confused if I should do manifesting and if it was ok in Christianity. You literally saved me from manifesting and making that choice. God bless you!
LoA drove me into literal psychosis - I became so aware that "I Am" (...the creator of my reality) that I lost sense of self entirely. I could see through the nature of reality so much that I couldn't come back down to Earth and just be a human. (this was as a result of complete devotion to LoA/Nevile Goddard, combined with a lottttt of psychedelics and all the new age spirituality practices). Yes I was successfully manifesting a lot of the things I wanted, but was NOT happy and could NOT relax into my life and simply enjoy it (even though my life is one that a lot of people would yearn for). Praise JESUS for reaching out his hand and pulling me out of that hell. I will never forget who it was that saved me 🥲♥ and funny that satan tries to lure me away with thoughts like 'your life is going to be boring now, you aren't going to get the things you want and you're going downhill'. LOL. Satan tries to tell me that I am going *downhill* with Jesus BRO NO - it is satan that brought me downhill and Jesus is taking me UP. The Glory is Jesus'.
@@richardfloridaman He has you just forgot what he's done for you already. God sent his son Jesus to die as the ultimate sacrifice so that the consequences of man's sin (Adam and Eve) could be forgiven upon true repentance. If you want to experience God find you an Apostolic church tell them you aren't a believer but want to see if you can feel the presence of God because a convert (me) recommended You seek the nearest Apostolic church out. Join their Bible study it's the closest thing to what Jesus taught and the apostles. LOA I attracted a trip to the Bahamas 🇧🇸 and many other things but now I get way much more. 1 I got my true calling back from the enemy. I've said to much. Go do what I told you to do, you won't regret it.
I am definitely not a Christian and disagreed with the title heavily, however I still watched the whole video and appreciated how passionate you are. Thanks for sharing I always love learning new perspectives. Peace and Love
Coming from someone who used to watch videos like that, the very toxic law of attraction videos that pretty much scared me into believing that ‘if you don’t do x y or z this your not good enough for anything’ as well as the toxic self help/toxic social commentary TH-camrs I scared myself into believing for the longest time, this video was such an unbelievably great contrast to all of that horrible horrible negativity and fear mongering. Thank you so much for making this video, it’s good to know I’m not alone. ❤️
I just wanna say that I appreciate this video. I wanted to learn exactly WHAT the law of attraction was without opening myself up to something that could be potentially dangerous. Thank you for saving me time, confusion, and regret ❤️ God bless
This was right on time. I’ve been trying to grow closer to Jesus. Even manifesting it. Just yesterday I heard of Neville Godard yesterday and actually fell asleep last night listening to a meditation of his. I felt like “hmm maybe this is from God since it’s backed in scripture”. Then BOOM 💥 woke up and saw this. God always lead and directs. I’m so thankful for discernment and his guidance. God will always lead you where you’re meant to be. So very thankful for this video🤎
It not god it's your own fear based unconscious mind, because it follows a habit. If you want to wallow in misery then it's on u! Neville is the way to go! The kingdom of heaven is within you, he who knows himself shall find it that is the whole verse which is taken from the Egyptian book of the dead which predates the gospels by thousands of years ...
@@rickspalding3047 Christ insanity is satanic eat my flesh drunk my blood, I came not to bring peace, but a sword. Goddard teaches the truth that the people who knew it got tortured,burned,drowned and killed for, especially the gnostics, leaving only fear of hell, which was added in the fifth century only, until them reincarnation was taught like in all other belief systems.
Thank you💗 I looked this up. I saw you talking and I feel such a relief. You shared so much. I went outside after this video, and a butterfly landed on me, I told God that I wanted to allow Him in my life and the butterfly landed on my heart.
Hi Sophia, thank you for sharing your story!! As Christians it’s often hard to confront the truth about evil powers in the world, and equally hard to provide the gospel as a clear answer out of it, especially to the public/on social media. You did both of those in a graceful and loving way and it’s so awesome how Jesus is using this part of your story to help others.💗 Something you said at the end reminded me of Jeremiah 20:9, where Jeremiah says “If I say, “I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name,” there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot.” Also I’m reading screw tape letters rn and wow... I wish I read it sooner. Keep doing what you’re doing :)
My parents said this too the other day. And I'm more open to the fact that it's not good for my spiritual growth because we should only believe on Jesus. But when I was younger I used to believe to those things too. So I'm not putting hate on anyone. I totally respect your belief.
Jesus would happily approve the law of attraction in it's true nature. Not for greed and selfishness, which most believe it's about. It's the people pushing it and using it for those reasons that gives it a bad name.
didn't really know much about the law of attraction before but appreciate this video for educating me on it and giving such a solid biblical perspective! i'm seeing so many things about affirmations nowadays that are very self-focused, and i just really appreciate your focusing on Christ. and i loved hearing your testimony and glad you have grown to see the truth more and are being bold in your faith :)
affirming is not self focused. we are creations of god and putting ourselves on a pedestal means we are honoring the fact that we are a reflection of him. we are honoring the fact that we have been created by god to do amazing things. we are honoring what god put so much of his time into creating.god gave us the ability to manifest for a reason, that's why he gave prayer. prayer is a form of manifestation.
This is deeply unbiblical. Jesus said to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him. The first will be last and the last will be first. You do not have a Godly understanding of yourself and how sinful you are if you think you are worthy of being put on a pedestal. The only reason we have ANY value is because of the imago dei and who we are in Christ if we are truly saved. Study the Bible.
It's amazing how social media can have a great impact on someone. As a Christian a believer in Jesus Christ I also started serving two masters unknowingly by practicing these law of attractions. But I'm glad to be back on the right path.
God Bless you sister!! As a man I thank you for speaking on this! You are a TRUE inspiration to women of our generation unlike some of the famed social media icons
Thank u for talking about this! We have a really similar story of God’s good deliverance from new age practices. I really appreciate u shedding light in this-you’re going great!
I’ve noticed that when people manifest it’s always exactly or lower than what they expected, but when Jesus delivers it’s always better than what we could have imagined
When I heard that "manifestation" is on trend these days i honestly felt good about it (besides of course the things stated on the video that was not of the Bible). For me, I've been manifesting goodness through God's power and at hindsight I thought that other people's way of manifestation is just a way for them to discover God in their own lense. I'm glad that manifesting helps them find peace and brings joy to them day to day, but I hope that one day they will be able to accept that God is the name of the universe they cling to, and that He could provide them with so much more love and assurance than our own minds and intentions are able to grasp.
I was really into the LOA community on Tumblr, and I knew it was off when they started referring to themselves as god. There is only one God and we are His children, we are not Him!
I didn't even think about the aspect that the law of attraction is all about you until you mentioned it. I think we are so self centered as people these days and we need more then ever to focus on service and charity and put others needs above our own desires and wants.
I disagree. God gives you the desires of your heart if you believe. God puts those desires in your heart. The desires that don’t come from him are those linked to making you feel bad
And who says we don't manifest for other people? I manifested things for my family that helped us, multiple times, and that was BEFORE I turned to God. While I didn't before or now believe in the Law of Attraction, I believed in manifesting. I suggest to not think of everyone who Manifests as selfish and thinking of themselves all the time.
I’ve been slowly leaning back into my faith after a long pause of believing but not actively participating or practicing and this video was such a nice thing to hear. I feel like the points you made are something I’ve been subconsciously thinking for awhile but wasn’t sure if it was a personal thing or what. While I’m not sure I personally agree with everything you said I completely understand your argument and it’s nice to take your thoughts into consideration as I continue on!
LOA never worked for me no matter what did. Little did I know God was protecting me and his way is the only way. Now I only follow the path of God and got rid of everything else ❤ Jesus is the only saviour praise God!
So true. I can totally relate. Jesus is the way the truth and the life! ... I was saved at a young age but never fully had a relationship with God until last fall and let me tell you everything I ever wanted I have obtained not even material stuff just desires of my heart and it's only because I'm living my life for Christ!! Jesus will give you abundant joy you can only find in him and he is the only one who can heal your broken heart and mind ❤
I may understand law of attraction differently, but I’ve struggled with similar questions. My interpreation of law of attraction or manifesting is that its more of a psychological tool (like CBT therapy) to prevent chronic anxiety and depression. Ive noticed that when I expect positive outcomes (not obsessively visualizing them, just being open to a positive outcome being possible), my mental health is much better. I fully recognize and appreciate that all good things in my life come from God. I believe we can block good things (and im not talking about materialistic stuff - more so a happier mood, a greater sense of gratitude, harmony in relationships, health, etc) by having a chronic negative outlook. When I’m overcome by negativity and fear and I let it continue unchecked, I become way more self absorbed and disconnected from God. My experience has shown me that we are always manifesting. Not every tiny thought, but more so our deeply held beliefs and expectations. I struggle to see how choosing to see things positively and challenging limiting beliefs is a bad thing, especially if my goals are in line with God (do good for others, etc). God is always front and center with my prayers for positive outcomes. Maybe that is “manifesting,” maybe its not. Im really not sure.
Yes we are "manifesting" continuously, as our subconscious always produce results, even when I didn't know about LOA I was using all the time. I feel there is something wrong about all that New age teaching, but I really don't know I could stop using it, now that I am aware of those laws, it would be like stopping breathing, I don't know how.
@@PetiteLicorne I feel the same way. God created the universe in its entirety. He created everything from gravity to the law of attraction. Acknowledging law of attraction is the same as acknowledging the laws of physics for me at this point.
Yea I agree with you fully. So actually when I don’t do anything in terms of manifesting or meditation, I actually get very depressed and anxious. I almost feel that I have to at least put some positive outlooks in my mind which helps keeps my mood lifted and gets me motivated. Don’t get me wrong, I believe in God, but I also think you just need to be a good person, don’t harm others, don’t idolize false gods, and such things. It just feels these days it’s almost impossible to do anything without it being satanic in some way. Can’t listen to any music other than Christian music, can’t watch any shows or movies because they all contain something impure. It just gets to the point where you just need to live your life while being a good person to others and caring. But I will pray regardless 🙂

such a good video!! I know this probably took a lot of strength and courage to upload, and I’m proud of you for taking a stand and sharing your own experiences in a loving way! so glad I found your channel! keep being a light!💕
I started loa by journaling, but I write it like prayer to God and gratitude journal. I didn't push it to happen, I ask God can I have that, if not it's ok because it's not God's will. For affirmation, I kinda need that, because I have low self-esteem, one negative comment can ruin hundreds positive comment which is bad, that's why I still learn how to forgive someone and myself
YASS Sophia thanks for this video! I truly hope this reaches a lot of people who need to see this. You really did SO well. Prepare for some backlash though.. But don't let that discourage you :) xxxx love from a fellow sister in Christ
Thank you. I have never been a fully devoted Christian, even most of my life. I had prayed or complained to God/Jesus. I have suffered years with physical health issues and and anxiety. Last year I saw my mom died, and my older sister, just turned her back on me. Lately I stumbled across Neville Goddard, and in the beginning it felt good and self empowering. The more I good sucked in, the more anxious and disconnected I feel. Especially when I hear, that we can change the past, by do something called revision, some even claims, that it can bring our deceased loves ones back. Something like this freaking me out. Even I during the years, have lost all my closest relatives, except my son, and even I miss them, and I suffering a lot. Never ever do I want to change the outcome. It has shaped the man I am today, and with the empathy I also feel towards others. Still I hope Jesus Christ, to heal and ease my suffering and pain. Sorry for my English In the name of Jesus Amen
Thank you so much for this. I literally just asked God to tell me the truth about divination because I was a tarot reader but I was also a 27 yr long addict (drugs) and I got throat deep thrown into hell. I know what my personal hell feels like and I NEVER wanna go back there. God, in the name of Jesus, pulled me out!!! I'm forever grateful and I'm trying my hardest to be an honest, God fearing woman. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!! May God bless you!!!
I totally resonate with you. I was a diehard LOA practitioner and nothing good came out of it. And now I am getting to know God and Jesus more and I feel so much better even in the midst of adversaries because I know I am not God but He is.
I am a firm believer that God himself gave you this word! Thanks so much for having the boldness to share, I will be praying for you Sophia now that this is out the devil will come for you. New subscriber for ever!
Wow thank you for sharing. As a Christian I kinda get caught up sometimes with zodiac signs. I'm honestly not in depth but I always ask pple what month are you, trying to figure out their signs and how they are personality wise. I'm going to look for that book you suggested. Thank you for sharing your experience and thank God you weren't deeply rooted to the point where things got worst. God is amazing👏
The LOA literally gave me intrusive thoughts and overthinking, overanalizing my thoughts which goes against our biological nature, made me too analitical. Which is hell. Its hell for me to be thinking „careful of this thought“ or its gonna manifest etc. its absolutely toxic. But as a christian too, theres passages where god does speak sort of about manifesting, like when jesus said if you have the faith of a grain of mustard you can move a mountain, and also seek and you shall find, theres more but i cant remember rn.
I saw this Video on 18th June 2024. Life has been so crazy bad that i wasnt even able to understand what is going on. I felt already that Something seems fishy with loa. After randomly reading the phrase of Jesus never Saying to Not follow our Hearts cuz its decietful, i was so confused and ended up watching your Video. My Family is Hindu so i diddnt know much about Jesus actually. But after watching your Video i starting researching and i dont even remember how it all went, but suddenly Jesus appeared. I felt His presence and knew in that Moment that Jesus is real indeed. I got Baptised in August and He has been guiding me and revealing himself to me ever Since. Jesus is the way the truth and Life!!! Best Thing which ever happened to me. Thank you Lord!! Big thanks to you for Ur Video, stay Blessed!
YES sophia! Keep making faith vids!! This world needs to know this! I know some people who use the law of attraction and lets pray that they repent from that! God is speaking to people through you! I have been tempted to manifest but prayer is stronger !
This is so interesting to me and I really appreciate you sharing your story. It's interesting that your experience was "If something went wrong I felt like it was my fault" when practicing LOA because of your thoughts. For me, I've had those same anxieties but in relation to my prayer life. "Someone got hurt. Someone didn't heal. Nothing changed, so my faith must not be strong enough. I must not be praying hard enough. I must not believe enough." So same anxieties, but stemming from two different and (from your assertion here) opposing practices. For me, there is a super fine line between the magical and the miraculous. For example: tarot is inherently evil, even as a reflection practice - a certain card showing up at a specific time that causes me to reflect is bad. But when a specific song comes on the radio at "just the right time" it's God speaking. Or how grounding in crystals is inherently nonsensical but rosaries, prayer beads, and prayer blankets - mundane items imbued with some kind of power because of prayer - is from the Holy Spirit. I was raised Christian and I consider myself a Christ follower, but you said yourself that most people were using LOA for kindness, and some for bad. I think you can say the same of any practice. Scripture has been used to justify the slaughter and oppression of millions as well as free millions of others. In my experience, it's less about the practice itself and more about the person practicing it. But again, thank you for sharing your story! I'm on mine and I'm glad to have your perspective on this topic.
Its never about how good of a Christians WE are, its about god working through us. The bible tells us to BE selfless and Not self Fokusced. So If u pray in Ur own strengt, then that indeed May Not BE the right way because U try to do IT by Ur own. We cant earn anything from Gods Grace, ITS a free Gift and from giving ourself to god, WE are saved.
Hi sophia i am muslim and we also cannot mix the 2 and i had the same experience as you. I am so happy god has guided me back may he guide us all . Ameen
My story i so similiar to what you said...i cried,i love you and i am extremely thankful to God. Stay closer to Him,live through Christ. You are worthy and loved!!
Thank you for this video. I was just about to start manifesting and this video has opened my thoughts.While I was watching your video a verse popped up from the bible app that I use "Prayer is an honest conversation with God." I will continue to trust in Gods plan and put God first in everything ♥️
Good for you Sophia. You are so well spoken and I think you truly hit the nail on the head by saying that it’s not about ourselves. The point of our lives is not to attain our greatest desires or “live the best life.” It’s about glorifying God. Nothing of this world can truly satisfy our hearts, only God can do that. God brings so much more joy than having a lot of money, having the best job, clothes, etc. What a wonderful thing that God can change hearts.
The bible is written in metaphores. The CHURCH is hiding literally everything about Jesus and his teachings to gain power and to brainwash its followers. Christianity at its core is beautiful. The church took advantage of it cuz it was afraid that people would realise the power each individual has. It is the same with all religions with church. Teachings are holy. The church is not. And please. You are not seperate from God. You are God. You are the infinite God consciousness experiencing oneself through your eyes. It is in you. You are it. We must glorify ourselves and praise ourselves because through helping yourself you will make the world around you a better place. And its so interesting that people think they are seperate from Satan. Also no. Satan is also in you. But as God, Satan is a metaphore for two sides inside every individual. And if u practice manifestation and start to think such bad things and being overwhelmed by it youre probbably just not ready to deal with it it just doesnt suit you. You dont like manifestation and you dont know how to use it. It doesnt mean that something that you feel bad about is against christianity. Youre just afraid of your own thoughts. Read documents about Jesus. And God ISNT GOOD. God is good AND bad. God is also Satan. If there is to be light, there MUST be dark. God is the WHOLE existence. GOOD AND EVIL.
I'm a Christian and have recently been researching the concept of vision boards and manifestations this past month. I've known about them for decades, but never took them seriously. Through my research, I've gotten a lot of mixed messages on the subject. I'm very grateful to all of the scriptures provided in this video as well as the non judgmental deliverance of the message. ♥ It's always good to keep a good discernment about ANYTHING you choose to partake in life. You most certainly can't SERVE two masters, but I don't want to let the devil TAKE OVER what God ORIGINALLY made to be beautiful and fruitful. Take the RAINBOW for example. I'm not going to let others' sinful representations of the rainbow get in the way of me enjoying the true beauty of the ACTUAL rainbow and what God ORIGINALLY designed it to represent. 😘 I'm most certainly not enabling or serving the LGBTQ community simply because I love the rainbow. I won't let them take away my love from God's promises. 🌈♥ I am seeing Manifestations as the same type of thing. You NEED to be careful with where you're getting your empowerment FROM, for sure! Also, give credit to the CREATOR instead of the CREATION (they often call the "universe"). I have found that this topic is not something to take lightly whatsoever. It's fascinating to say the least.
I totally respect religious people. Still i would recommend y'all to explore religions from a historical POV -- for example, looking at the history of Christianity, how it and propagated, how the people viewed other religions/ideas etc. It would give some more perspective on alternate beliefs and even your own religion as well
I won't ever stop, I remember some ppl scared to death with those certain comments saying law of assumption was wrong just like you're saying in your video and a certain day I asked god himself if I was doing something wrong and at the same day in my. House we made a little get together to pray and read the bible and this woman literally said god was seeing and doing everything I was writing down (scripting) and. That was my confirmation, if you're reading this feeling guilty and post bc of other ppls rules just talk to god, there's no better source than him, if I follow what the man say I wouldn't be believing in god at all as well so...
i practice loa and i just want to say that my practice is rooted in gratitude and forgiveness of myself and others- i am a confirmed christian and i feel that loa embodies the teaching of jesus fully, just packaged up in a different way. My practice (and many others) are based on belief and trust in the universe/god and knowing that everything that is meant to be will be in divine timing. honestly, my congregationalist upbringing and my current spirituality practice are one and the same
law of attraction and the process to reprogram the subconscious mind is good but in some cases it is not well because This simply means that we focus more on ourselves and call ourselves superior in every way. but In Luke 18:14 jesus said for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.
👏wow! 👏 What a beautiful and well thought out talk, that was also spot on! Im so proud of your obedience to following the prompting of the holy spirit to share this. Our society is being deceived more so than ever- and social media is feeding it like a wild fire. God is using you and your experiences, along with your submissive spirit, to change lives and SAVE lives❤ Thank you! This comes from a grandmother who loves God with all my heart and is in a spiritual battle to save her own children and grandchild who have all rejected God. But the battle isn't over yet, and i will fight for each of them until i no longer am able. Bless you and your ministry (because you do have a ministry 😉🤗).
girl... you can be against these "new age" practices (which actually stem mostly from hinduism and paganism, and are not new age at all), but do not call them "demonic." have your own beliefs, but don't say you are accepting other practices/ways of life (that most have been around longer than christianity), but then call them something degrading like demonic.
exactly!! it got me mad because a lot of these are old practices from different religions and cultures and just because you dont agree doesnt mean its sinning or demonic
@@aaliyahdenise768 to you. but please understand that these practices have been around longer than Christianity, and not everyone is Christian. So using a blanket statement that these practices demonic generally rather than acknowledging that they are against the Christian religion specifically can be very harmful and offensive.
Your video is one of the best I’ve seen so far in the topic of from new age to Jesus. I only started researching yesterday. Like you use quotations, I like how you give alternatives or the truth in the LOA in a Godly way (like when you have a vision ask God) , you are logical and you just overall explained it so well! Well done on the no-judgment part. Thank you so much
i’m so glad there’s someone my age who gets it. our generation is so deep into this stuff, so i was like “oh everyone’s doing it, it must be fine.” but it always felt wrong to me. especially when they’re like ‘you have total control’ or ‘you’re the creator’ and i’m like… thats literal blasphemy. you’re building your faith around yourself and not around God.
Wow. Just wow. This might be my favorite video of yours and I couldn't thank you enough for opening my eyes to something I never realized could make me fall further from Jesus. After watching your experience with LOA and your relationship with God, somehow I feel like this is a sign for me to also start working in my own relationship with Him. It's been a while since I've been feeling this emptiness in my heart and it now makes total sense why I've been treating every day just like any other day, with no purpose, no meaning. Thank you for these words, Sophia. You are so loved and I'm sure God is glad to know you're spreading His word and bringing faith and hope once again to this world that is in pain 🤍
I appreciate your perspective, I never really have believed in manifestation but holy as an anxious person this mindset would be horrible for me. I also didn't realize how much this belief does not align with my own religion, why would I need anything else when I have prayer and faith?
i practice loa and manifestion but this video was still eye-opening and great to watch! you have great evidence and obviously put a ton of research behind this video! i loved hearing your perspective and your thoughts on this topic, love the video :)
@@mar-pf3jh Of course God will forgive you, if you repent and confess of your sins. 1 John 1:9 *"9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* God is loving, kind and merciful, turn to Him! ❤ God bless you!
These are great observations. You are not the only one to be drawn in to this sort of thing. You've been given wisdom and discernment on this topic. Thank you for sharing your experiences and being open and transparent about them. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing ❤️ This is so important & not a lot of college Christians have the courage to share and unveil the TRUTH. Love your page! Keep going :)
i dont understand the point in making a video bashing another way of thinking...she said multiple times that her way is the best way, which is not helpful to say. personal views aside, isn't everyone entitled to practice what ever faith/spiritual beliefs they want without someone of another religion saying how "ungodly" and "evil" it is? someone practicing LOA and manifestation is not negatively affecting anyone else so i'm disappointed in this vid :(
in a way, it is negatively affecting everyone else. if you're using loa and practicing ways to get your dream life, you're focusing too much on yourself, rather than your family and friends and even the people around you. God's intentions are to put Him first, others second, you third. Loa encourages us to put ourselves first. this is the difference between the two
@@whatever82993 just because someone's beliefs don't align with yours doesn't make them wrong. you can also use loa to help those around you, it's not all about yourself. and even if it was, everyone's beliefs should be respected, no matter what.
@@whatever82993 y’all have misinterpreted LOA. by focusing on ourselves, we become better people for ourselves and our families. just like y’all believe what you believe, we believe what we believe. my family is Christian but we practice new age methods and have received an abundance of blessings. you can do both at the same time as long as you still take time to thank God.
she isn’t bashing she’s explaining why she stopped using it from the perspective of HER religion, she is sharing her perspective with other christians. she isn’t forcing anything on u, and if ur offended by this topic u didn’t have to click on her video.. u read the title.
i think this is such an important thing to talk about. thank u so much for sharing & teaching me. i’m just watching the intro, but i immediately had to click on this video bc it’s something that i NEVERR see anyone talk ab it it is SO important

Hi Sophia, Thank you for this video. I was introduced to The secret in 2006 I was working with a homeopath at the time. When I was first introduced to the law of attraction I didn’t really take it too seriously. And then I started applying the techniques and I started to manifest things I desired. Everything seemed good but for the whole time there was always something missing something was never quite right. I’m very happy to say I’ve been more active with my belief in God even though I’ve been raised Catholic I now go to a Christian church. I go to a Bible study and the subject comes up time and time again. I feel there were many times that God was warning me through people that I was close to and your video really help me understand how deceived I was because a very close friend of mine who is a passionate God believer who was also warning me of it. I’ve of course was listening and trust my friend. It’s relieving because I really don’t trust the law of attraction. It’s definitely very self consuming and a form of narcissism. Your video really helped me a lot and open my eyes. I have been praying more to God and now I need to be more mindful of these so-called affirmations. It is very deceitful there are a lot of life coaches and people out there that are willing to take your money and promise you wealth and riches and fortune.
Wow! Thank you for sharing this! I remember God showed me that I was making my business an idol and I didn't even realize it. I truly thought I was just being a great businesswoman by working so hard and putting my business above all things. I believed I too could manifest things and even had my children believing the same thing (that our thoughts have power, it was all rooted in the Law of Attraction. It makes me cringe thinking about it now. We really can be deceived. I'm so thankful for the truth of God and people like you that share their experiences. It will help so many. God bless!
Since discovering manifesting and the concept of multiple realities Im happier than ever. It has freed me from the prison of limiting beliefs taught by Christianity. They teach that nothing is impossible with God, but then combine it with the idea that God doesnt always give us what we want. This adds doubt to everything and results in so many disappointments so that the reality of the teachings are that ' God CAN do miracles, but probably wont.' Nothing ever worked out for me because I was always worried about whether God wanted it for me or not. Now Ive changed my assumption to one that says that God does want it for me, and will always ensure that the outcome is the best for me, I am seeing miracles. I havent abandoned my faith in God, it has just transformed into something that finally matches up with all the promises that Christianity offers in concept but rarely happen in reality. There is absolutely nothing demonic about having a trust in God that is so string that you are happy in the face of hardship. This is the core teaching of the law of attraction-that you need positive emotions to allow things to happen, and when you have strong faith you DO feel happy. The bible is literally full of this teaching, not least the verse about how if you doubt dont expect to receive anything.
I also know that not everyone shares my beliefs, and not everyone is a Christian, but please know that there is no judgement in my heart! A lot of us have different beliefs and that’s ok, but I wanted to share my perspective and how it connects to my own faith. I believe the Bible is the word of God and should be taken seriously. Please don’t get the wrong idea, I promise I’m not trying to hate on anyone at all!
Honestly, we all get that, your radiate really kind energy but next time be more careful with the terms "from the enemy" and "from the Devil" and etc, but it KINDA sounds rude and lowkey feels like an attack to non-Christians. I get it that your intentions are pure and nice but please choose your words more carefully next time.

I’ve been praying every day since February and that has done more for me and helps me more than law of attraction ever could. People need to start praying more. God will guide you to what he wants for you. 🙏🏻✝️
God helps us definitely but he doesn't make us want something. its free will and at the end of the day its up to us to decide how we live our lives and how we should fit God into it. for instance, suppose i wanna be a rapper or something. God won't try to force being a middle school teacher on me if he knows im gonna be depressed doing that shit
@@caseyj7052 wrong! We don’t just live life like we want and then try to FIT God into it. No, the lord say if we want a relationship with him, we must die to worldly things and LIVE FOR CHRIST JESUS, not for ourselves or how we want to. That’s being double minded.
@@aleayh well that’s just too bad because i certainly don’t believe that and i’m not doing that. that makes no sense. and like the girl in the vid said, there’s no right or wrong, we all got our own fucking beliefs. conversation over, God bless.

Combine prayer with Jesus with the L of A while removing your darkness and shadow and you will be unlimited!!!
God is always good.. we don’t need to "manifest" things.. we have His plan 🥰
True. Once you start playing God in your life you know that you are lost.
So why did he say to ask what we desire snd it shall be done. It seems Jesus knew about the law of attraction himself. Ask, believe and it shall be given to you. Sounds like LOA to me
@@brendabenitez7359 if you are living for God you are asking him to help you live out his purpose. To give you strength to live out his purpose. It is all according to his will. His purpose. Not that job you want or the car or that perfect boyfriend.
@@lillianbrusseau500 doesn’t he put the desire in your heart? If that’s the case then why did Jesus say to ask. That’s the thing about religion/Christianity that I don’t understand. Thank God Jesus wasn’t religious at all. On the contrary he was totally against it. He didn’t go to synagogues to pray instead he went out into the wilderness by himself to pray to God. Ultimately God is in you and in all his creation hence the universe
@@lillianbrusseau500 that sounds like torture. What if your desire is to have children. Isn’t that his purpose for us, he said to ask him and he will give it to you. We shall live life in abundance, Jesus said. I dropped Christianity and decided to follow Jesus instead and in fact he was against the religion and the church. They have managed to manipulate what you in fact read in the Bible. If Jesus had his 12 disciples then why is there only 4 gospel books that we get to read. Who made that choice? The church! It’s a manipulation. Jesus was a mystic, he had oneness with God and so do we. God is in us and we have the power that he gave us to do these things. Jesus said to believe it is done and that’s it. Once I started asking myself these questions and paying attention to how Jesus lived, showing love and helping others, being thankful for everything and living a sinless life, I began to see the beauty in life. We become happy. He is with us at all times and around us in nature. He is energy/an intelligent force/spirit that is everywhere. Jesus knew that! We have the power in our minds to heal ourselves and create our reality. Our biggest enemy is our mind and that’s what we must control. We don’t play God, we leave it in his hands, believe he heard our prayers and stay happy waiting for it to come, that is faith my friend!
The first thing I do after waking up is say my prayers. I'm not always perfect at this, but to me it's a way of showing the God comes first and that I am excited to talk to Him and get to know Him. This also applies well when going to bed or during the day when difficult situations arise and you need guidance.
i think saying affirmations are fine... it’s like you’re saying it to a friend, it’s encouraging and it helps people. manifesting includes being grateful and content with your current situation and you can still thank God for everything and remain faithful.
I live for me, and my friends & family!
Affirmations are not fine. When you do them with intention they are like magic tools. Affirmations are just thoughts but with intention to have a result they become sorcery
@habeshaa 815 if you write down your goals it's not law of attraction, it's just a reminder / motivational list. 90% of people does :) but if you start using techniques then it's loa and yes, it's demonic :/ (I used it to, don't worry I'm not a Christian crazy girl. but I stopped, fortunately.)

When I saw this video in my recommended, I was confused. I didn’t know what the law of attraction was, new age, and didn’t completely understand the definition of manifestation. After watching this video, I reset my mind and am so grateful to be with God and Jesus as they guide me. Thank you for uploading this very inspiring video! Thanking the Lord for how he has guided me in life!
God is within you and you are above all principalities. You are sitting next to the father, right by Jesus. You have power, he gave it to you! Thanks to Jesus we know about this. He said we will do far greater things than he did. It’s all thanks to him.
y’all she did mention that she’s not judging anyone who manifests. im not christian, so she is targeting her christian viewers or any viewers who want more info ab manifestation. if ur not christian, just swipe away from this vid. she’s not making u watch this
She’s showing her experience with law of attraction but the truth is it’s deceiving and it’s not from God, it’s huge lie from the enemy and God wants us to have wisdom and discernment
No matter if your Christian or not , not to be rude but I'm trying to protect many people from that LOA is horrifying! I'm down for living the dream life☺ but I don't support a way where it could get out of control and it makes you selfish! I have a couple of friends who used to do LOA but after a while it ruined their lives 😞 why? Because it makes you think your your own god and that's not okay. Also they couldn't control everything and it got to out of hand . For a while it made them depressed until they found Jesus.

you might have a misconception of the
what the law of attraction is..
i think what you’re trying to convey is that you don’t want to intentionally serve the Ego..which results to the surrender to God.
yet, surrendering to God is still attracting that very thing..

it’s the only way our free will can have momentum to create the life our hearts desire. that’s why no one can runaway from it. its embedded in the fabric of creation.

Yessss! You can love and accept people without loving and accepting what they do. Sophia does this well 🥰
my least favorite adage
It seems good and bad. God didn’t ask us to love thy neighbor and hate their sin. He just asked us to love. Conviction from sin comes from the Holy Spirit. Making people aware that it’s a sin is okay but forcing them to change isn’t our job. We are simply supposed to love them.
I really appreciated this video. I was recently very hurt by the "new age culture," feeling gaslit and manipulated by it for not being "healed" enough (I have a lot of trauma and PTSD), and letting it lead me into some delusional thought-spirals, and similar to your experience, feeling extremely anxious about my own thoughts "attracting" bad things to myself. So, even though I'm not particularly religious myself and we don't have identical perspectives, it's refreshing to see people rejecting this new "culture" and calling out how it can harm us without us even realising it. And since so many of the more popular new age believers will use the Bible and Christ to gain the trust of their Christian followers who are tempted by LOA and "manifestation," I think having religious Christian perspectives like yours to challenge it is very important ♡
Stop putting yourself down for being an outspoken believer in Christ. You don't have to apologize for what people may think of your beliefs.

I'm a Muslim and i agree with it. I've lived 2 years of my life in that shit but didn't know it was witchcraft.
I hope more religious people talk about that. Thank you so much! You were the one who made me realize it's witchcraft. I know the word in Arabic and know it's Haram but my silly mind never made the connection 😂 or perhaps i was so blinded by my desires that i stopped believing in my religion and started worshipping this or that method making it my idol. Note that my desires were against my religion and that was the first ever test i was put in from Allah. I was to choose between my religion and God (which I've had a strong connection to him and loved him so much) or my earthly desires by witchcraft. And poor me chose witchcraft over God. Still didn't get them and I also failed the test horribly but I was a teen back then, i was only 18 back then.
One thing to add to even make it worse, if my desired were permissible i would've gone 100% to God and prayed to make them mine through him. But at the first road cross i walked away from God. I think he did this to show that i wasn't a true believer as i thought i was. Thank you so much for your video, we're sisters in faith as we're both heavenly Abrahamic religions 🙏💞
Its not witchcraft
So far as the bible is concerned mark 11:24. He declares things that are not as though they were and those things come to pass.
Islam is another religion completely founded by the devil. One of my best friends was a Muslim for 42 years. He found Jesus and is so very very free. Jesus loves you, died for you and overcame sin and death. He will set you free from all fear. The Bible is not twisted - it is verifiably truth. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. ❤ much love to you
I see what you did there🤭🫶🏾✨
Law of Attraction is not witchcraft the Bible talks about it. Christian people think everything is witchcraft.
Salaam sister Sophia. Just wanted to drop some appreciation to you for this video. There does not seem to be much content on TH-cam in any way addressing the New Age practices like manifesting from any religious perspective and/or looking critically at the practice. As your muslim brother a lot of what you said resonated with things I have observed, the idea of it being like a prayer to oneself or a prayer without God. I liked your emphasis on focusing on God’s will and surrendering to God, which is the definition of the word Islam. God bless! 😊
God bless you for being a LIGHT! Thank you for not hiding your lamp under a bush and delivering this word in boldness 🤍 This was so amazing and I can tell your heart is pure delivering this message. I’m praying this penetrates the darkness others are in with manifesting and new age! Praying the Lord rewards your and protects you for your obedience 🤍
Amen 🙏
This video led me to being saved. I was pretty deep into new age but something didn’t feel right. The blinders fell off after I watched this and a couple of testimonies. THANK YOU 🙏🏼🕊
I manifested a lot of money while doing LOA, but after that I've been dreaming dead people choking me and staring at me. I woke up catching my breath, scared and played a worship song right away. My mother also got sick, she almost died. I stopped LOA since then. I knew some evil spirit gave me the money I manifested, not God.
@@Tania-rg7jp right
@@Tania-rg7jp Exactly. Peoples interest in it is for selfishness and greed. Not for pure spiritual enlightenment and knowledge, as it should be. They're confused upon their own beliefs and are not on the proper spiritual level to attain or even understand it. Until they recognize the divine within themselves, it will be nothing more than a trend or hobby.
Yes 🙌
Can u share more experience?
@@hustlingtoberich
the law of attraction is worshiping the devil, this life is temporary, for us to have an eternal life we need to belive in jesus, if you believe in the law of attraction you are a follower of satan , yes satan can give you money and help you become rich if thats what you want, you can communicate with satan and his angels, and yes you will get evil dreams and start seeing things you dont want to see, because its all from the devil.
Well done, wise video. I’m 42 and I got very into the LOA scene for a few years at age 27, but found my way back to my loving father who is Lord of all and Lord of my life now. Every gift we have and every good thing is from him, all glory to him. 💗 Ask, believe, receive, through Jesus and he promises to answer us. 🙏🏼
I’m Christian and have never practiced the law of attraction cause I’m lazy af and it seems like it would take too much energy😂
Same thing for me , I just can't even get my self to read worldly affirmations but I can claim Bible based affirmations so easily.
Not as much energy as praying to God to make something happen or feeling lost when you don’t know how to fix something or know why things happen the way they do because ”God works in mysterious ways” bs lol
Don’t get me wrong, I believe in God but maybe not as much as I should. But that’s the perception I get from this, is to just sit back and let God handle everything for you?
I was heavily into success, wealth, manifesting, LOA, tarot, crystals, yoga, mediation, and pendulums ! So this is amazing. I love the biblical affirmations !!!
So was I! Thankfully the Lord delivered me. My testimony is on my channel if ur interested
Still sounds like you are looking for a genie . Your relationship with God isn’t about finding a Biblical spell that will grant your wishes. The Bible teaches humility not magical wishing spells.
@@bluwng Exactly. Also all the wrong reasons.
@@bluwng I go to church and I very much love God. Do you think its a sin if I ask him for a physical change? Nothing else, just physical change. And it is okay to manifest a physical change? Im just asking.
@@zdravokakosi146 you need to ask God, I’m no one special. If what you ask is in line with what God wants chances are good it is OK.
It is perfectly good to sound cheesy for the Lord. He will appreciate that you publicly stood and spoke His truth. Especially as a young person, many of whom are impressionable. Keep standing and speaking up for the Lord, he sees your courage. This coming from someone older than you. God bless.
This whole video was exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve already been stepping away from from LOA for a while and growing closer to Christ but this just solidified everything now. Thank you for this.
There’s only one thing we can affirm boldly: that we are forgiven of our sins and have eternal life through Christ. Great video and testimony, Sophia! Been waiting for this video for quite some time and I’m definitely impressed by how much you’ve grown into your faith since last year!!
I didn’t know about the loa movement, but it’s insane how new age and most ungodly practices crawl into our lives like seemingly harmless things. We should be extra careful to not be deceived, like you said, and be rooted in God’s word
I agree! My preacher called it, “Warming yourself at the devil’s fire,” and pointed to the way Peter denied Jesus 3 times while standing in the courtyard
my experience was very similar to yours, sophia! loved this video
What happened to you something happened to me as well
ME TOO
That’s what I thought when I watched her video and saw you said you did law of attraction
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😙😙😙😙😙😙
@BOXER it is
I am a muslim and i souly and geniuenly felt every word you said .
Thanks for bringing light to such topics .
I’m a muslim too
SAME!
I remember reading the book "The secret" with a pre-conception of how great this book is and I remember just how confused, disappointed and overwhelmed I felt with endless questions concerning things that didn't sit well with me or my religious beliefs. But I kept telling myself you didn't get the message right, there's no way all these people with your religious background are wholeheartedly preaching the same exact book and the concept of the law of attraction as a whole. It wasn't until I had a talk with my mama that I released why this confusion makes sense, it's because it doesn't go hand in hand with our religion. Actually it could be entirely opposing our belief in destiny/قضاء وقدر
Same✌️
@@salmasamy1691 i read that book too!!
This is my first time of hearing about the man and his book. From the introduction I knew it was not from God even though it quoted Bible verses, then I skipped and read on and I saw more lies. Those scriptures quoted works if only a man sets his gaze upon the Lord Jesus Christ who died and gave himself for us. We celebrate him and he does it. We set our gaze on the Lord, we meditate on the Lord, we delight ourselves in him and he grants our hearts desires, actually when you you meditate on the Lord, forgetting your needs, not minding them our needs are met, he said first seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and every other thing will be added to us.
Matthew 6:24-34
[24]“No one can be a slave of two masters; he will hate one and love the other; he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
[25]“This is why I tell you not to be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn't life worth more than food? And isn't the body worth more than clothes?
[26]Look at the birds: they do not sow seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds?
[27]Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it?
[28]“And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves.
[29]But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers.
[30]It is God who clothes the wild grass - grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burnt up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? How little faith you have!
[31]“So do not start worrying: ‘Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?’
[32](These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.
[33]Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.
[34]So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
Thank you so much, this really really helped me. I was so confused if I should do manifesting and if it was ok in Christianity. You literally saved me from manifesting and making that choice. God bless you!
LoA drove me into literal psychosis - I became so aware that "I Am" (...the creator of my reality) that I lost sense of self entirely. I could see through the nature of reality so much that I couldn't come back down to Earth and just be a human. (this was as a result of complete devotion to LoA/Nevile Goddard, combined with a lottttt of psychedelics and all the new age spirituality practices). Yes I was successfully manifesting a lot of the things I wanted, but was NOT happy and could NOT relax into my life and simply enjoy it (even though my life is one that a lot of people would yearn for).
Praise JESUS for reaching out his hand and pulling me out of that hell. I will never forget who it was that saved me 🥲♥ and funny that satan tries to lure me away with thoughts like 'your life is going to be boring now, you aren't going to get the things you want and you're going downhill'. LOL. Satan tries to tell me that I am going *downhill* with Jesus BRO NO - it is satan that brought me downhill and Jesus is taking me UP. The Glory is Jesus'.
this really opened my eyes, thank you for this.
Spent 20 years in LOA and God wins every time. I'm so glad Jesus called me back.
What exactly did it do for you? LOA did nothing for me, and neither did God.
@@richardfloridaman He has you just forgot what he's done for you already. God sent his son Jesus to die as the ultimate sacrifice so that the consequences of man's sin (Adam and Eve) could be forgiven upon true repentance. If you want to experience God find you an Apostolic church tell them you aren't a believer but want to see if you can feel the presence of God because a convert (me) recommended You seek the nearest Apostolic church out. Join their Bible study it's the closest thing to what Jesus taught and the apostles. LOA I attracted a trip to the Bahamas 🇧🇸 and many other things but now I get way much more. 1 I got my true calling back from the enemy. I've said to much. Go do what I told you to do, you won't regret it.
@@boomingbubblebus1470 no. I’m Jewish and Jesus was not his son.
wow that was truly beautifully said! i didn’t realize how much i truly need to hear and really grasp it, this meant so much!! thank you 🤍🤍
I am definitely not a Christian and disagreed with the title heavily, however I still watched the whole video and appreciated how passionate you are. Thanks for sharing I always love learning new perspectives. Peace and Love
Coming from someone who used to watch videos like that, the very toxic law of attraction videos that pretty much scared me into believing that ‘if you don’t do x y or z this your not good enough for anything’ as well as the toxic self help/toxic social commentary TH-camrs I scared myself into believing for the longest time, this video was such an unbelievably great contrast to all of that horrible horrible negativity and fear mongering. Thank you so much for making this video, it’s good to know I’m not alone. ❤️
I just wanna say that I appreciate this video. I wanted to learn exactly WHAT the law of attraction was without opening myself up to something that could be potentially dangerous. Thank you for saving me time, confusion, and regret ❤️ God bless
This was right on time. I’ve been trying to grow closer to Jesus. Even manifesting it. Just yesterday I heard of Neville Godard yesterday and actually fell asleep last night listening to a meditation of his. I felt like “hmm maybe this is from God since it’s backed in scripture”. Then BOOM 💥 woke up and saw this. God always lead and directs. I’m so thankful for discernment and his guidance. God will always lead you where you’re meant to be. So very thankful for this video🤎
It not god it's your own fear based unconscious mind, because it follows a habit. If you want to wallow in misery then it's on u! Neville is the way to go! The kingdom of heaven is within you, he who knows himself shall find it that is the whole verse which is taken from the Egyptian book of the dead which predates the gospels by thousands of years ...
Goddard is new age satanic rehashed
@@rickspalding3047 Christ insanity is satanic eat my flesh drunk my blood, I came not to bring peace, but a sword. Goddard teaches the truth that the people who knew it got tortured,burned,drowned and killed for, especially the gnostics, leaving only fear of hell, which was added in the fifth century only, until them reincarnation was taught like in all other belief systems.
@@vonburen888 I don’t want to agree, but pretty sure what you say is true
It was simply the TH-cam algorithm 😂
Was not expecting this video this morning but I’m very excited for it! Thanks for talking about it Sophia 🥰❤️
Thank you💗 I looked this up.
I saw you talking and I feel such a relief. You shared so much. I went outside after this video, and a butterfly landed on me, I told God that I wanted to allow Him in my life and the butterfly landed on my heart.
Hi Sophia, thank you for sharing your story!! As Christians it’s often hard to confront the truth about evil powers in the world, and equally hard to provide the gospel as a clear answer out of it, especially to the public/on social media. You did both of those in a graceful and loving way and it’s so awesome how Jesus is using this part of your story to help others.💗
Something you said at the end reminded me of Jeremiah 20:9, where Jeremiah says “If I say, “I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name,” there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot.”
Also I’m reading screw tape letters rn and wow... I wish I read it sooner. Keep doing what you’re doing :)
My parents said this too the other day. And I'm more open to the fact that it's not good for my spiritual growth because we should only believe on Jesus. But when I was younger I used to believe to those things too. So I'm not putting hate on anyone. I totally respect your belief.
Jesus would happily approve the law of attraction in it's true nature. Not for greed and selfishness, which most believe it's about. It's the people pushing it and using it for those reasons that gives it a bad name.
i’ve watched you since you were minilucie13 & seeing you grow bolder in your faith is amazing! so proud!
Same!!! Her videos are always so great i love her videos so much
Have a great day / night everyone 😄
thank you so much💛💛
didn't really know much about the law of attraction before but appreciate this video for educating me on it and giving such a solid biblical perspective! i'm seeing so many things about affirmations nowadays that are very self-focused, and i just really appreciate your focusing on Christ. and i loved hearing your testimony and glad you have grown to see the truth more and are being bold in your faith :)
affirming is not self focused. we are creations of god and putting ourselves on a pedestal means we are honoring the fact that we are a reflection of him. we are honoring the fact that we have been created by god to do amazing things. we are honoring what god put so much of his time into creating.god gave us the ability to manifest for a reason, that's why he gave prayer. prayer is a form of manifestation.
Jesus never put himself on a pedestal.
This is deeply unbiblical. Jesus said to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him. The first will be last and the last will be first. You do not have a Godly understanding of yourself and how sinful you are if you think you are worthy of being put on a pedestal. The only reason we have ANY value is because of the imago dei and who we are in Christ if we are truly saved. Study the Bible.
It's amazing how social media can have a great impact on someone. As a Christian a believer in Jesus Christ I also started serving two masters unknowingly by practicing these law of attractions. But I'm glad to be back on the right path.
God Bless you sister!! As a man I thank you for speaking on this! You are a TRUE inspiration to women of our generation unlike some of the famed social media icons
Thank u for talking about this! We have a really similar story of God’s good deliverance from new age practices. I really appreciate u shedding light in this-you’re going great!
Pls share
I’ve noticed that when people manifest it’s always exactly or lower than what they expected, but when Jesus delivers it’s always better than what we could have imagined
💥 🙏
Sophia, you are such a blessing from God and I just wanted to say how refreshing this video is
When I heard that "manifestation" is on trend these days i honestly felt good about it (besides of course the things stated on the video that was not of the Bible). For me, I've been manifesting goodness through God's power and at hindsight I thought that other people's way of manifestation is just a way for them to discover God in their own lense. I'm glad that manifesting helps them find peace and brings joy to them day to day, but I hope that one day they will be able to accept that God is the name of the universe they cling to, and that He could provide them with so much more love and assurance than our own minds and intentions are able to grasp.
Plus law of attraction doesn't make you you enhanced, it makes you trust in the wrong thing.
I was really into the LOA community on Tumblr, and I knew it was off when they started referring to themselves as god. There is only one God and we are His children, we are not Him!
I didn't even think about the aspect that the law of attraction is all about you until you mentioned it. I think we are so self centered as people these days and we need more then ever to focus on service and charity and put others needs above our own desires and wants.
I disagree. God gives you the desires of your heart if you believe. God puts those desires in your heart. The desires that don’t come from him are those linked to making you feel bad
And who says we don't manifest for other people? I manifested things for my family that helped us, multiple times, and that was BEFORE I turned to God.
While I didn't before or now believe in the Law of Attraction, I believed in manifesting.
I suggest to not think of everyone who Manifests as selfish and thinking of themselves all the time.
@@johnedelmann6711 agree so too! God gave us the mind power to use it right
@@brendabenitez7359 agreed!
That’s literally the law of giving. Everybody here doesn’t really know anything and instantly claim it to be wrong to use. You’re a co-creator
I’ve been slowly leaning back into my faith after a long pause of believing but not actively participating or practicing and this video was such a nice thing to hear. I feel like the points you made are something I’ve been subconsciously thinking for awhile but wasn’t sure if it was a personal thing or what. While I’m not sure I personally agree with everything you said I completely understand your argument and it’s nice to take your thoughts into consideration as I continue on!
You are so right, it’s like my mind was hijacked with the New Age practices!!
LOA never worked for me no matter what did. Little did I know God was protecting me and his way is the only way. Now I only follow the path of God and got rid of everything else ❤ Jesus is the only saviour praise God!
Praying to God and asking him to bring something to you: healing, success, love, courage, peace… is the same as manifesting. 😊
You do not know how much you helped me. You brought me awareness. Thank you 💖
So true. I can totally relate. Jesus is the way the truth and the life! ... I was saved at a young age but never fully had a relationship with God until last fall and let me tell you everything I ever wanted I have obtained not even material stuff just desires of my heart and it's only because I'm living my life for Christ!! Jesus will give you abundant joy you can only find in him and he is the only one who can heal your broken heart and mind ❤
I may understand law of attraction differently, but I’ve struggled with similar questions.
My interpreation of law of attraction or manifesting is that its more of a psychological tool (like CBT therapy) to prevent chronic anxiety and depression. Ive noticed that when I expect positive outcomes (not obsessively visualizing them, just being open to a positive outcome being possible), my mental health is much better.
I fully recognize and appreciate that all good things in my life come from God.
I believe we can block good things (and im not talking about materialistic stuff - more so a happier mood, a greater sense of gratitude, harmony in relationships, health, etc) by having a chronic negative outlook. When I’m overcome by negativity and fear and I let it continue unchecked, I become way more self absorbed and disconnected from God.
My experience has shown me that we are always manifesting. Not every tiny thought, but more so our deeply held beliefs and expectations. I struggle to see how choosing to see things positively and challenging limiting beliefs is a bad thing, especially if my goals are in line with God (do good for others, etc).
God is always front and center with my prayers for positive outcomes. Maybe that is “manifesting,” maybe its not. Im really not sure.
Yes we are "manifesting" continuously, as our subconscious always produce results, even when I didn't know about LOA I was using all the time.
I feel there is something wrong about all that New age teaching, but I really don't know I could stop using it, now that I am aware of those laws, it would be like stopping breathing, I don't know how.
@@PetiteLicorne I feel the same way. God created the universe in its entirety. He created everything from gravity to the law of attraction. Acknowledging law of attraction is the same as acknowledging the laws of physics for me at this point.
Yea I agree with you fully. So actually when I don’t do anything in terms of manifesting or meditation, I actually get very depressed and anxious. I almost feel that I have to at least put some positive outlooks in my mind which helps keeps my mood lifted and gets me motivated. Don’t get me wrong, I believe in God, but I also think you just need to be a good person, don’t harm others, don’t idolize false gods, and such things. It just feels these days it’s almost impossible to do anything without it being satanic in some way. Can’t listen to any music other than Christian music, can’t watch any shows or movies because they all contain something impure. It just gets to the point where you just need to live your life while being a good person to others and caring. But I will pray regardless 🙂

such a good video!! I know this probably took a lot of strength and courage to upload, and I’m proud of you for taking a stand and sharing your own experiences in a loving way! so glad I found your channel! keep being a light!💕
I started loa by journaling, but I write it like prayer to God and gratitude journal. I didn't push it to happen, I ask God can I have that, if not it's ok because it's not God's will. For affirmation, I kinda need that, because I have low self-esteem, one negative comment can ruin hundreds positive comment which is bad, that's why I still learn how to forgive someone and myself
YASS Sophia thanks for this video! I truly hope this reaches a lot of people who need to see this. You really did SO well. Prepare for some backlash though.. But don't let that discourage you :) xxxx love from a fellow sister in Christ
Thank you. I have never been a fully devoted Christian, even most of my life. I had prayed or complained to God/Jesus. I have suffered years with physical health issues and and anxiety.
Last year I saw my mom died, and my older sister, just turned her back on me.
Lately I stumbled across Neville Goddard, and in the beginning it felt good and self empowering.
The more I good sucked in, the more anxious and disconnected I feel. Especially when I hear, that we can change the past, by do something called revision, some even claims, that it can bring our deceased loves ones back. Something like this freaking me out. Even I during the years, have lost all my closest relatives, except my son, and even I miss them, and I suffering a lot. Never ever do I want to change the outcome. It has shaped the man I am today, and with the empathy I also feel towards others. Still I hope Jesus Christ, to heal and ease my suffering and pain.
Sorry for my English
In the name of Jesus Amen
Thank you so much for this. I literally just asked God to tell me the truth about divination because I was a tarot reader but I was also a 27 yr long addict (drugs) and I got throat deep thrown into hell. I know what my personal hell feels like and I NEVER wanna go back there. God, in the name of Jesus, pulled me out!!! I'm forever grateful and I'm trying my hardest to be an honest, God fearing woman. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!! May God bless you!!!
I prayed for you Lola God will stand you out from the mysticism in the name of Jesus.
From France 🇨🇵
I totally resonate with you. I was a diehard LOA practitioner and nothing good came out of it. And now I am getting to know God and Jesus more and I feel so much better even in the midst of adversaries because I know I am not God but He is.
Girl, you opened my eyes… I literally want to cry
I am a firm believer that God himself gave you this word! Thanks so much for having the boldness to share, I will be praying for you Sophia now that this is out the devil will come for you. New subscriber for ever!
@Elana Yes pls keep praying for her
Wow thank you for sharing.
As a Christian I kinda get caught up sometimes with zodiac signs. I'm honestly not in depth but I always ask pple what month are you, trying to figure out their signs and how they are personality wise. I'm going to look for that book you suggested. Thank you for sharing your experience and thank God you weren't deeply rooted to the point where things got worst. God is amazing👏
I came across your page and was really impressed with you encouragement. The world needs young people to share Jesus with. Keep up the good work!
The LOA literally gave me intrusive thoughts and overthinking, overanalizing my thoughts which goes against our biological nature, made me too analitical. Which is hell. Its hell for me to be thinking „careful of this thought“ or its gonna manifest etc. its absolutely toxic. But as a christian too, theres passages where god does speak sort of about manifesting, like when jesus said if you have the faith of a grain of mustard you can move a mountain, and also seek and you shall find, theres more but i cant remember rn.
I saw this Video on 18th June 2024. Life has been so crazy bad that i wasnt even able to understand what is going on. I felt already that Something seems fishy with loa. After randomly reading the phrase of Jesus never Saying to Not follow our Hearts cuz its decietful, i was so confused and ended up watching your Video. My Family is Hindu so i diddnt know much about Jesus actually. But after watching your Video i starting researching and i dont even remember how it all went, but suddenly Jesus appeared. I felt His presence and knew in that Moment that Jesus is real indeed. I got Baptised in August and He has been guiding me and revealing himself to me ever Since. Jesus is the way the truth and Life!!! Best Thing which ever happened to me. Thank you Lord!! Big thanks to you for Ur Video, stay Blessed!
Praise the Lord for this incredible testimony!! Thank you so much for sharing. There is so much JOY in Him! May God bless you friend
YES sophia! Keep making faith vids!! This world needs to know this! I know some people who use the law of attraction and lets pray that they repent from that! God is speaking to people through you! I have been tempted to manifest but prayer is stronger !
This is so interesting to me and I really appreciate you sharing your story. It's interesting that your experience was "If something went wrong I felt like it was my fault" when practicing LOA because of your thoughts. For me, I've had those same anxieties but in relation to my prayer life. "Someone got hurt. Someone didn't heal. Nothing changed, so my faith must not be strong enough. I must not be praying hard enough. I must not believe enough." So same anxieties, but stemming from two different and (from your assertion here) opposing practices. For me, there is a super fine line between the magical and the miraculous. For example: tarot is inherently evil, even as a reflection practice - a certain card showing up at a specific time that causes me to reflect is bad. But when a specific song comes on the radio at "just the right time" it's God speaking. Or how grounding in crystals is inherently nonsensical but rosaries, prayer beads, and prayer blankets - mundane items imbued with some kind of power because of prayer - is from the Holy Spirit. I was raised Christian and I consider myself a Christ follower, but you said yourself that most people were using LOA for kindness, and some for bad. I think you can say the same of any practice. Scripture has been used to justify the slaughter and oppression of millions as well as free millions of others. In my experience, it's less about the practice itself and more about the person practicing it. But again, thank you for sharing your story! I'm on mine and I'm glad to have your perspective on this topic.
This is the answer!!!! This!! You brought robust points!!
Its never about how good of a Christians WE are, its about god working through us. The bible tells us to BE selfless and Not self Fokusced. So If u pray in Ur own strengt, then that indeed May Not BE the right way because U try to do IT by Ur own. We cant earn anything from Gods Grace, ITS a free Gift and from giving ourself to god, WE are saved.
Hi sophia i am muslim and we also cannot mix the 2 and i had the same experience as you. I am so happy god has guided me back may he guide us all .
Ameen
My story i so similiar to what you said...i cried,i love you and i am extremely thankful to God. Stay closer to Him,live through Christ. You are worthy and loved!!
Thank you for this video. I was just about to start manifesting and this video has opened my thoughts.While I was watching your video a verse popped up from the bible app that I use "Prayer is an honest conversation with God." I will continue to trust in Gods plan and put God first in everything ♥️
Good for you Sophia. You are so well spoken and I think you truly hit the nail on the head by saying that it’s not about ourselves. The point of our lives is not to attain our greatest desires or “live the best life.” It’s about glorifying God. Nothing of this world can truly satisfy our hearts, only God can do that. God brings so much more joy than having a lot of money, having the best job, clothes, etc. What a wonderful thing that God can change hearts.
The bible is written in metaphores. The CHURCH is hiding literally everything about Jesus and his teachings to gain power and to brainwash its followers. Christianity at its core is beautiful. The church took advantage of it cuz it was afraid that people would realise the power each individual has. It is the same with all religions with church. Teachings are holy. The church is not. And please. You are not seperate from God. You are God. You are the infinite God consciousness experiencing oneself through your eyes. It is in you. You are it. We must glorify ourselves and praise ourselves because through helping yourself you will make the world around you a better place. And its so interesting that people think they are seperate from Satan. Also no. Satan is also in you. But as God, Satan is a metaphore for two sides inside every individual. And if u practice manifestation and start to think such bad things and being overwhelmed by it youre probbably just not ready to deal with it it just doesnt suit you. You dont like manifestation and you dont know how to use it. It doesnt mean that something that you feel bad about is against christianity. Youre just afraid of your own thoughts. Read documents about Jesus. And God ISNT GOOD. God is good AND bad. God is also Satan. If there is to be light, there MUST be dark. God is the WHOLE existence. GOOD AND EVIL.
I saw the title and immediately had to like as a sister in Christ. Love that you're being bold enough to speak on this using your platform
I'm a Christian and have recently been researching the concept of vision boards and manifestations this past month. I've known about them for decades, but never took them seriously. Through my research, I've gotten a lot of mixed messages on the subject. I'm very grateful to all of the scriptures provided in this video as well as the non judgmental deliverance of the message. ♥ It's always good to keep a good discernment about ANYTHING you choose to partake in life. You most certainly can't SERVE two masters, but I don't want to let the devil TAKE OVER what God ORIGINALLY made to be beautiful and fruitful. Take the RAINBOW for example. I'm not going to let others' sinful representations of the rainbow get in the way of me enjoying the true beauty of the ACTUAL rainbow and what God ORIGINALLY designed it to represent. 😘 I'm most certainly not enabling or serving the LGBTQ community simply because I love the rainbow. I won't let them take away my love from God's promises. 🌈♥ I am seeing Manifestations as the same type of thing. You NEED to be careful with where you're getting your empowerment FROM, for sure! Also, give credit to the CREATOR instead of the CREATION (they often call the "universe"). I have found that this topic is not something to take lightly whatsoever. It's fascinating to say the least.
But the vision and making it plain… how is this different from manifestation… say, asking Jesus and you will receive.
I totally respect religious people. Still i would recommend y'all to explore religions from a historical POV -- for example, looking at the history of Christianity, how it and propagated, how the people viewed other religions/ideas etc. It would give some more perspective on alternate beliefs and even your own religion as well
I won't ever stop, I remember some ppl scared to death with those certain comments saying law of assumption was wrong just like you're saying in your video and a certain day I asked god himself if I was doing something wrong and at the same day in my. House we made a little get together to pray and read the bible and this woman literally said god was seeing and doing everything I was writing down (scripting) and. That was my confirmation, if you're reading this feeling guilty and post bc of other ppls rules just talk to god, there's no better source than him, if I follow what the man say I wouldn't be believing in god at all as well so...
This came at the right time 🖤 I'm not Christian but I am always in awe when you talk about your religion, it makes me get closer to mine 😌
i practice loa and i just want to say that my practice is rooted in gratitude and forgiveness of myself and others- i am a confirmed christian and i feel that loa embodies the teaching of jesus fully, just packaged up in a different way. My practice (and many others) are based on belief and trust in the universe/god and knowing that everything that is meant to be will be in divine timing. honestly, my congregationalist upbringing and my current spirituality practice are one and the same
How can you trust in the universe AND God?
@@allysonr3664 hi! i see them as the same :)
@@EllaFarrell how?
@@allysonr3664 that’s just what i believe, you don’t have to agree with me!
@@EllaFarrell I’m just confused! Do you pray to the universe AND God?
law of attraction and the process to reprogram the subconscious mind is good but in some cases it is not well because This simply means that we focus more on ourselves and call ourselves superior in every way. but In Luke 18:14 jesus said for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.
im crying. thank you for making this. Your vulnerability is so beautiful.
👏wow! 👏 What a beautiful and well thought out talk, that was also spot on! Im so proud of your obedience to following the prompting of the holy spirit to share this. Our society is being deceived more so than ever- and social media is feeding it like a wild fire. God is using you and your experiences, along with your submissive spirit, to change lives and SAVE lives❤ Thank you! This comes from a grandmother who loves God with all my heart and is in a spiritual battle to save her own children and grandchild who have all rejected God. But the battle isn't over yet, and i will fight for each of them until i no longer am able. Bless you and your ministry (because you do have a ministry 😉🤗).
girl... you can be against these "new age" practices (which actually stem mostly from hinduism and paganism, and are not new age at all), but do not call them "demonic." have your own beliefs, but don't say you are accepting other practices/ways of life (that most have been around longer than christianity), but then call them something degrading like demonic.
Ikr
It's not degrading, it's Truth.
exactly!! it got me mad because a lot of these are old practices from different religions and cultures and just because you dont agree doesnt mean its sinning or demonic
It is demonic.
@@aaliyahdenise768 to you. but please understand that these practices have been around longer than Christianity, and not everyone is Christian. So using a blanket statement that these practices demonic generally rather than acknowledging that they are against the Christian religion specifically can be very harmful and offensive.
Your video is one of the best I’ve seen so far in the topic of from new age to Jesus. I only started researching yesterday. Like you use quotations, I like how you give alternatives or the truth in the LOA in a Godly way (like when you have a vision ask God) , you are logical and you just overall explained it so well!
Well done on the no-judgment part.
Thank you so much
This came at the perfect time, I just recently (the last week) started to try law of attraction and now I 100% am stopping. Thank you
It didn't even work for me lmao
It worked too well for me.
i’m so glad there’s someone my age who gets it. our generation is so deep into this stuff, so i was like “oh everyone’s doing it, it must be fine.” but it always felt wrong to me. especially when they’re like ‘you have total control’ or ‘you’re the creator’ and i’m like… thats literal blasphemy. you’re building your faith around yourself and not around God.
Wow. Just wow. This might be my favorite video of yours and I couldn't thank you enough for opening my eyes to something I never realized could make me fall further from Jesus. After watching your experience with LOA and your relationship with God, somehow I feel like this is a sign for me to also start working in my own relationship with Him. It's been a while since I've been feeling this emptiness in my heart and it now makes total sense why I've been treating every day just like any other day, with no purpose, no meaning. Thank you for these words, Sophia. You are so loved and I'm sure God is glad to know you're spreading His word and bringing faith and hope once again to this world that is in pain 🤍
I appreciate your perspective, I never really have believed in manifestation but holy as an anxious person this mindset would be horrible for me. I also didn't realize how much this belief does not align with my own religion, why would I need anything else when I have prayer and faith?
So happy you did this! SO important💓
i practice loa and manifestion but this video was still eye-opening and great to watch! you have great evidence and obviously put a ton of research behind this video! i loved hearing your perspective and your thoughts on this topic, love the video :)
How will you unlearn to direct your throughs ? I don't understand how I could.
Will God forgive me???
@@mar-pf3jh Of course God will forgive you, if you repent and confess of your sins. 1 John 1:9 *"9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* God is loving, kind and merciful, turn to Him! ❤ God bless you!
These are great observations. You are not the only one to be drawn in to this sort of thing. You've been given wisdom and discernment on this topic. Thank you for sharing your experiences and being open and transparent about them. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing ❤️ This is so important & not a lot of college Christians have the courage to share and unveil the TRUTH. Love your page! Keep going :)
i dont understand the point in making a video bashing another way of thinking...she said multiple times that her way is the best way, which is not helpful to say. personal views aside, isn't everyone entitled to practice what ever faith/spiritual beliefs they want without someone of another religion saying how "ungodly" and "evil" it is? someone practicing LOA and manifestation is not negatively affecting anyone else so i'm disappointed in this vid :(
in a way, it is negatively affecting everyone else. if you're using loa and practicing ways to get your dream life, you're focusing too much on yourself, rather than your family and friends and even the people around you. God's intentions are to put Him first, others second, you third. Loa encourages us to put ourselves first. this is the difference between the two
@@whatever82993 just because someone's beliefs don't align with yours doesn't make them wrong. you can also use loa to help those around you, it's not all about yourself. and even if it was, everyone's beliefs should be respected, no matter what.
@@whatever82993 y’all have misinterpreted LOA. by focusing on ourselves, we become better people for ourselves and our families. just like y’all believe what you believe, we believe what we believe. my family is Christian but we practice new age methods and have received an abundance of blessings. you can do both at the same time as long as you still take time to thank God.
she isn’t bashing she’s explaining why she stopped using it from the perspective of HER religion, she is sharing her perspective with other christians. she isn’t forcing anything on u, and if ur offended by this topic u didn’t have to click on her video.. u read the title.
i think this is such an important thing to talk about. thank u so much for sharing & teaching me. i’m just watching the intro, but i immediately had to click on this video bc it’s something that i NEVERR see anyone talk ab it it is SO important

Hi Sophia,
Thank you for this video. I was introduced to The secret in 2006 I was working with a homeopath at the time. When I was first introduced to the law of attraction I didn’t really take it too seriously. And then I started applying the techniques and I started to manifest things I desired. Everything seemed good but for the whole time there was always something missing something was never quite right. I’m very happy to say I’ve been more active with my belief in God even though I’ve been raised Catholic I now go to a Christian church. I go to a Bible study and the subject comes up time and time again. I feel there were many times that God was warning me through people that I was close to and your video really help me understand how deceived I was because a very close friend of mine who is a passionate God believer who was also warning me of it. I’ve of course was listening and trust my friend. It’s relieving because I really don’t trust the law of attraction. It’s definitely very self consuming and a form of narcissism. Your video really helped me a lot and open my eyes. I have been praying more to God and now I need to be more mindful of these so-called affirmations. It is very deceitful there are a lot of life coaches and people out there that are willing to take your money and promise you wealth and riches and fortune.
Hi Sophia, I saw you loved my comment. Thank you. I saw some minor grammar typos and revised it.
Wow! Thank you for sharing this! I remember God showed me that I was making my business an idol and I didn't even realize it. I truly thought I was just being a great businesswoman by working so hard and putting my business above all things. I believed I too could manifest things and even had my children believing the same thing (that our thoughts have power, it was all rooted in the Law of Attraction. It makes me cringe thinking about it now. We really can be deceived. I'm so thankful for the truth of God and people like you that share their experiences. It will help so many. God bless!
Since discovering manifesting and the concept of multiple realities Im happier than ever. It has freed me from the prison of limiting beliefs taught by Christianity. They teach that nothing is impossible with God, but then combine it with the idea that God doesnt always give us what we want. This adds doubt to everything and results in so many disappointments so that the reality of the teachings are that ' God CAN do miracles, but probably wont.' Nothing ever worked out for me because I was always worried about whether God wanted it for me or not. Now Ive changed my assumption to one that says that God does want it for me, and will always ensure that the outcome is the best for me, I am seeing miracles. I havent abandoned my faith in God, it has just transformed into something that finally matches up with all the promises that Christianity offers in concept but rarely happen in reality. There is absolutely nothing demonic about having a trust in God that is so string that you are happy in the face of hardship. This is the core teaching of the law of attraction-that you need positive emotions to allow things to happen, and when you have strong faith you DO feel happy. The bible is literally full of this teaching, not least the verse about how if you doubt dont expect to receive anything.
