Over the last 50 years, we have witnessed an explosion of Eastern philosophy and martial arts in Western culture. What has been their influence upon the last 2 generations? And where does this path we have set our feet upon lead? Does the study of Martial Arts, Tai-Chi and Yoga really lead to a more disciplined way of life, as is being promoted by the media today? Are our children being made better men and women of God through these practices, or is there something deceptive working behind the scenes? From the studio that made "Battlefield Hollywood", "Controller" and "The Replacement gods" comes a all new documentary which seeks to give answers to these very questions.
Im only 20 but you have answered many of the hard life questions I have pondered on for so long. May God continue to Bless your ministry! This is Such a huge encouragemment to my faith in God. You just reminded me of the constant war being fought for souls daily. Its so inspiring to see Gods hand working in many of the brought up sdas that have drifted away because of a lack of personal relationship with Christ !
All the glory to our lord. Today, I have officially walked away from Praying Mantis Kung fu system. Martial arts has been a big part of my life since 16. I am now 35 and feel better than ever. 😊🙏🏽
Amen! When I was younger I was really interested with martial arts..I don't want to be bullied so i really wanted to learn it. fortunately i didn't have the opportunity to learn it. Now i realize it's nature.this is an eye opener
Amen.
Praise THE LORD!
me too, I did southern praying mantis and was definitely demonically oppressed while doing it. when repented and renounced and threw out all my stuff I was spiritually attacked that same night. it was disgusting those wicked spirits never wanted to let me go. I'm free from them in Jesus name.
@Luka Merkviladze Be honest with yourself. If you just wanna go in there to learn how to defend yourself, make some friends and build self-confidence, it's perfectly fine. If you wanna learn MMA or boxing to become rich and famous and beating people up for the amusement of the crowd then no, that's probably not okay lol. You're gonna feel the vibe in the gym. If it's one of those places infested with meatheads where everybody has a big ego and tries to hurt each other every time they spar, just leave that place or don't spar with these idiots. I did some Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and it felt like a family, everybody let their ego at the door and had fun. Never felt like a cult, nobody was "worshipping" the master etc...My 2 cents.
Thank you Heavenly Father for this amazing testimony and for delivering this man from the darkness! When my little girl came to me and said she wanted to do karate and we checked it out for a couple of weeks I felt that same weirdness about it that this mans mother did and that’s exactly what has brought me to this video. Thanks be to Yah! The Most High God, creator of all!!
He has a tv show called 'Alpha & Omega' on the 3ANN network on regular cable. The network has truly changed my life.
Amein! Yes, praise Yehovah for bringing you and so many others out. My older brother is still stuck in this at age 51...
Thank you my Lord & savior Jesus Christ to you and you alone I give you the glory thank you Lord for you love and Grace!!!
amein father Yahweh God almighty bless you shine his face upon you and your family always :)
That one hit me hard. I got to repent and turn. May JESUS CHRIST save me again and all the others who fell into traps of lies. 🙏
🙏
It hit me hard too. I have family deep into this and I also was in a relationship that destroyed me because he was deep into it. Makes me not so angry or hurt personally now, and I just hurt for all of them. I pray Jesus is able to reach anyone who is still caught in this deception and bondage. I also saw it tearing apart other relationships from friends and connections he had while we were together as well. Including his relationship with his own family. Just makes me feel very sad for all of them. But also just less angry and not questioning whose fault it was because the fault belongs to the devil, I know that now for sure 🥺😭💔🙏
@@julierushin1179 The same apply with Jehovah's Witnesses.
Wow!!!
@@theresefournier3269 It's a wicked world. Far worse than I ever thought before and I already thought It was pretty dark. Sadly oh no it gets a lot darker. Until Jesus returns at least
I have a similar testimony. I have felt the same terrifying presence behind me as well, while sinning. I did not know God at the time, but my life changed in that moment. I feel I was saved from going beyond a point of no-return. A few Years later, my eyes were opened and I saw that God was in my life, from before the beginning.
God is Good
God is Great
Amen.
TURnKEYiNK No worries ALL sins can be forgiven:
Matthew 12:31
31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
Unless you willingly deny God.
I am a new believer and this was tough to watch as a martial arts practitioner. I have to give this up. I never realized how evil and satanic this is, THANK YOU and PRAISE YA!
The Lord asks us for our obedience. You are a wise man to turn away from this practice.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ The Almighty 💜💜💜🙌🙂
People who know nothing about training think it’s all about hurting others. It’s about self-discipline. Training isn’t evil.
Jesus didn’t turn the other cheek because He was weak.
If you are weak, then turning the other cheek is your only option.
@@k1dork Jesus told us to defend with a sword, not fight in competitions where gambling is involved. Jesus allowed the pharisees to punch and spit on him. Was Jesus weak? These arts are NOT what the ancient isrealites learned, these arts are founded in buddhism.
@@k1dork no one even said it was evil, you insinuated he claimed it was. watch both documentaries, these arts we are being taught today have their roots in hinduism, you cant serve two masters.
Praise the Lord for your deliverance! I was doing yoga for a year while being Christian, I was totally blind and refused to believe that it has to do anything with worshipping other gods. I thank God that he showed me how deeply wrong I was. He delivered me from demons I had no clue I had. Since I was delivered I can read Bible and pray daily, before that was impossible to do. You have to be very careful of what the world offers you. Stick to the God and his word and TRUST him fully with no doubt.
lol
AMEN
praise God almighty amein may he bless u shine his face upon you and your family always ,stay strong :)
Testify!! 🙌👏🙏
I cried at your wife's faithfulness and loyalty, her long suffering....that was the Holy Spirit strengthening her the entire way. Praise God!
What a blessing to have watched this journey to Christ. Thank you for sharing!
Amen to that! Makes me want to watch this again
@@littlelightstudios Amen!
Mr. Wilson is gonna be speaking for a week at our church in Corning, NY. We are gonna be so blessed!
same! That part really choked me up, I started balling my eyes out
There are times when a wife prays and she knows God is going to do a work, but has to wait on His timing. I remember when my husband and I were having problems, I prayed and fasted. The answer I felt I got was that God would save my husband
So I stuck it out. I kept waiting and praying. Of course, God never told me it would take 5 years, lol. But I have to say that God DID save him. Today he is a different man, and is sober 7 years. I took great comfort in 1 Peter 3, and it is quite true.
I always blamed my Parents for not having giving me the opportunity to learn Karate or Kung fu when I was small. Now I know, it is a divine providence protecting me from all of what you share that saved my life.
Thank you for daring to testify and to encourage us! God bless you abundantly!
Edit: I watched and listened carefully from the beginning till the end the less than 2hours message!
I had always wanted to try the martial arts because I thought it would help me lose weight and help me learn self defense...I always felt something was not right about it...since watching this, I am so happy to learn that my gut instinct was correct...I will lose weight with God by my side and I know He will protect me...I do not have that spirit of fear anymore...God bless this ministry
7JCDiva intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting work. Look up autophagy fasting I believe it’s named, cellular regeneration while fasting. God built a recovery program inside us that can be activated by fasting, amazing science just now confirms what he told us to do thousands of years ago! Amen praise Jehovah blessings in your walk
Amen 🙏
@@NewmanMG
It does take scientists quite a while to catch up to the science in the Bible.
Great
@@NewmanMG That is YAHsomely true. ❤️🔥💯😘
I believe this man saw all the things about the arts at the beginning or at least when he received his black belt but still liked what he was doing, but God can give 1 second of total awareness and we see all the things Satan hide from our eyes. God's one moment of clarity is all we need to make changes for a lifetime
Lisa A we lie to ourselves even when we know it’s wrong because we enjoy doing it.
YAHbsolutely and YAHsome is our El, of power, justice, wisdom and love! Shalom🔥❤️
@@r6685 Listen to the song, called, "Turn, Turn, Turn"! 🎶🐦💙
Amazing Grace! So glad I found this film as a survivor of the new age. I related to his testimony in so many ways, though I didn't do martial arts. I did, however, follow a guru for 7 years. I came to Jesus in a supernatural way where I saw very plainly that there are only two roads; the wide road to destruction and the narrow road which is with Him. There is only one road to salvation. The enemy dresses up, bedazzles and repackages the same old lies. Brothers and sisters, we need to stay awake during these dark times.
The entity that stood behind him later in the documentary brought up memories for me of how Bruce Lee was haunted by that spirit in his life time and eventually died a mysterious death. Bruce chose to fight that spirit instead of calling upon the name of Jesus.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against spiritual wickedness in high places...maybe Bruce did not know this
Nicholas Kiefer Whatever sings ya to sleep at night.
True. I watch a documentary/ movie about it
Yes exactly, me too, I couldn’t understand this scene for long time. Bruce said literally that “it was his demon” who he had to face before he becomes the warrior.
@@Rin-le7cx do you have the link
This testimony teared me up but im so glad ur out brother in Yeshua!
It's good decision to repent and give yourself to jesus Christ. I was about to join kung fu school now i have know what does it meant. I choose jesus.
God bless
Yaaaaaay!!!!!! Welcome my friend!!!!! I was brought up in Tae Kwon do, but the spiritual aspect wasn’t actually connected to the dojo. That said Kung Fu and the mystical Buddhist part of meditation at the temple for learning Kung fu, is opening yourself to spirits due to the way that Buddhists work.
I'd rather have Jesus watch my six than any human, no matter how strong, skilled and/or talented.
He can't be hurt. He can't be stopped either.
I'm ready for Him to return.
amein the most wise choice u could ever make Yahweh God bless you bro
This was such an amazing story can't wait for pt2! God Bless you all Brothers and Sisters in Christ ✌️ ♥️ ✝️ 😊 🙏
I have seen this guy on ALPHA AND OMEGA on 3ABN
He is absolutely amazing. I love his testimony, God Bless Your My Friend. Happy Sabbath!!
Too many lessons learned, I am beyond awed. I need to meditate on all these lessons. Thank you Mr. Eric for sharing your story. God bless you
Many truths here. Martial arts, yoga, eastern philosophy is very seductive
Thank you Eric for your testimony
Maranatha! 🙏🏾
Communion is Sharing a meal together, Commitment to a Lord
This brought me to tears. What a beautiful testimony, so powerful… all I can think is… God is so awesome.
I did intro to kung fu as a young girl, with some other young girls, and I praise God that my parents stopped me completely after a few lessons because the teacher lived in a trashy environment where we had lessons with porn mags on the floor (which I didn’t notice but the other girls did) and the parents stopped our lessons because one girl wore a skirt to class and he kept getting her to kick higher and I got jealous because he paid her attention, until another girl said he was perving on her. Parents found out and gave him a hard time and pulled us out. Years later, after getting into a good church, getting closer to God as well, I finally threw the kung fu manual out.
@Sonic Hedgehog Revelation 18: 4 says it all. "Get out of her my people"!
Time to dig deeper and rather than be-lie-ve anyone, really know instead.
From within even. ❤️🔥💯 And forget these J names!🤔 Ask and be still, long enough, to hear the answer. ❤️
Goodness. Thank God for the discernment your family got. Thank you Jesus ❤️
This channel rocks.. Praise Jesus..
Strange Foot yup
I know, right?
Jesus never condoned racism like you freaks are doing.
@@wesmcinerny4524 jesus dident see race, he saw his children,there is no such thin as racism. it is a man made construct. and sadly many people join its beliefs. praise jesus that you are learning. hoppfully you will see as jesus saw, sin is out only seperation.
I thought this was goin to be borin....ended finishin the whole thing...God bless! Amazing testimony...
Excellent Work! May the MOST HIGH bless you in the name of YESHUA!
Incredibly powerful testimony, thank you very much for sharing and shedding light on this topic! Personally, I didn't knew much about martial arts from a christians perspective.
God bless!
Amen! Praise the Lord! So glad that you were blessed by this presentation :-)
My heart is crying. Never myself was interested in this but have friends who are interested and practice jiujitsu art. Lord deliver us from all this. Hear our crying
You realize that BJJ is not rooted in sun worship like eastern martial arts right?
@@JordanCantFight but it came from Judo, and Judo is Japanese where they did do sun worship.
This reached me on the deeper level. Glory be unto YHWH through whom salvation comes. A lot of us are fighting against these spirits and we need to remember that the battle isn't ours. Thanks for sharing this testimony.

Amazing testimony and video editing. God bless your ministry and your walk with Him!
God bless you for making this video and sharing it. I was in the process of looking for a martial arts school for my 5 yr old little boy. Thank God for opening my eyes
Thank you so much for releasing good clean Christian Christ centered content, we are in DIRE need of Christ especially in these time and always. Love y’all 💕
Well thank you Jesus for being patient with him ❤️ to finally come to the Light. Man nothing is safe how sad!
Awesome!
Its amazing how much evil we don't know is around us. I also just saw a video on how demonic the Avenger movies are. We have to keep our Godly armor on brother and sisters.
Steve Cortes How are avenger movies demonic?

@@garmarrod the movie tells you that God is Satan and Satan God
@@WildArtistsl your name is "lolitagirl"
I also felt strange when getting brown belt, we stood there while they broke boards over our arms and legs and sensei said to us, let kondalini snake go up your spine..That woke me up cause I already was a Christian. And the chanting all of it going into the occult...
He really invoked the Kundalini spirit at brown belt? We're you in karate or Tae Kwon do? Or Kung Fu?
Thanks to Yeshua for bringing you to light ❤️
God couldn't have picked a sweeter, more faithful wife, and more adorable children for you. I hope you know--fully--what you have.
But at the same time you wonder why so many mixed martial artist are so unstable, even the ones that claim to be Christian are a unashamed mess
It's true. The bushido spirit. Now the real question is was Evander Holyfield led to be a boxer. He was born again right?
@GabrielofAdonai I dont think boxers think that way for the most part, in fact alot of traditional martial arts these days are clowned upon, but like I said, this guy in the video was in a cult......to answer your question, Jesus actually spoke to a soldier and the soldier talked abkut being under orders by his superior and jesus understood him because Jesus christ was on a mission himself......I don't know if anyone is actually LED to be a boxer but I do know some men are created different, they're just tougher & ready for competition or combat, Evander is/was definitely that type of guy....some sports are rougher then others, you can play football and get hurt just as bad as in boxing so when it comes to Christians playing sports I'd say they're just playing a sport with rules and referees & commissions and they get to earn a living and that's where ill leave it because there much more dangerous jobs out there but each person chooses what they want to do, it's free will.
I studied Martial Arts since 6 and then joining the military, all this fed my anger/rage i was dealing with. Thank you for the knowledge of why I was so in rage during this time besides not being saved now I know what fed my anger. Thank you Jesus for salvation and wisdom.
Thank you for sharing, this testimony solidified why EVERY TIME I tried to get back into martial arts the desire would fade. PRAISE YAHWEH for protecting me from dangers seen and unseen!!
Yes fr
I didn't expect to cry at the end of this, but this was a beautiful testimony/documentary. YAH bless everyone in this ministry. I have almost all the documentaries.
wow thats truly amazing were can i find all these documentaries that u mentioned here & amein i cried also for this very brave man& awesome courageous soul :)& luv your profile name here Yeshua Hamashiach Yahweh God almighty bless you shine his face upon you and your family always
when i was training in martial arts. i also witnessed strange things in my school. It was almost like my teacher and the students where posses. Their moods and energy would change often, you could just feel a negative energy in the atmosphere. at times i felt like i was fighting off demons.
+Jessica Nunez Do you still train?
+BroHood100
was = past tense
I asked the question for a reason.
This is also true to what i experienced in the martial arts
So true
I praise the Most High for the great things He has done in your life!! HALLELUYAH! He is indeed god! There is no one like YHWH! Will share this video with the rest of my family!
Outstanding testimony! Praise our heavenly father!
No one would ever suspect by outward appearance you would possess the fighting skills you do. But now the Holy spirit abides in you. Hallelujah. What a testimony. As a young man I pursued Aikido in recovery from dual TBI and a broken back but in hindsight God spared me the spiritual hardships involved with what you shared. What a wonderful and beautiful Testimony and documentary. Maybe your ministry could and should reach out to Victor Marx ministries ' All things possible ' and challenge him with these truths. One flagging term he utilizes often and is firm in is " The way of the Warrior" The whole way through this documentary I questioned. Can the flesh and spirit be seperated ? You determined not. I agree. God bless you Eric. Thank you
I remember in a taekwondo class I felt a tremendous energy in the atmosphere & it caused a bright white light to burst in the room &a I looked around &a the instructors were staring at me, I felt that there was a spiritual war going on in there, I felt protected but I also wondered if I was ok to stay since god had fought for me........
god or God?
There's HUGE difference. my friend.
What an extraordinary documentary! So much so that I’ve shared it with family and friends. I used to be in taekwondo, a Korean form of martial arts, so this really impacted me! Thanks for making it free for us to watch!
A student would start out as a black belt and work his way to a white belt had Christianity in some way been a martial art..
🤔
Wise as a snake(discernment:knowing right & wrong), harmless as a dove (light/white: innocence & loving).
Your wife is a gem. Don't ever leave her!!
I am a 68 year old Christian and have chronic pain in two areas of my body. The VA takes care of my health care. They tried back surgery, RFAs (also called Ryzotomies), steroid injections, physical therapy, but nothing brought relief to my chronic pain. Some days the pain is so high that I must resort to narcotic medications, or else I will (and have many times) end up in the emergency room to get injections of liquid Valium and a powerful pain reliever called Toradol. Then the VA signed me up for a class called "Choose to Heal." It lasted 8 weeks but I stopped going after class number 4. They began to teach Yoga and transcendental meditation, and then wanted to put each patient through a series of hypnosis sessions. I ran for my life because I knew from the Spirit of Prophecy that those so-called medical practices have their roots in ancient pagan religions, and the devil can and does still work his Satanic magic if a person gives over the control of their mind to another finite human being (hypnosis). I pray daily for healing, even just enough to never have to take the narcotic Hydrocodone again; but God in His wisdom has chosen not to heal me. So for me and others who are in constant pain but are aware of the eternal consequences of dabbling in occult practices (martial arts, Yoga, hypnosis, etc.), it is a matter of how you answer the questions: Would you rather be healed by the devil than die? Or would you rather die than be healed by the devil? For me, no matter how severe the pain, I would rather die than be healed by the devil. And believe me, he is able to both make people ill through satanic curses, and then appear to heal them by removing his satanic curse. Many will think that they healing MUST be from God, but they are ignorant of the fact that any activity whether martial arts, meditation (sometimes referred to as a special form of prayer), or some of the so-called healing arts, can be Satan's enchanted ground. Once we enter into his territory, we become his legal prey; and it takes much prayer by those who love us to break the satanic spell. Listen to these people at LittleLightStudios. They have been given discernment to know how Satan is luring in the uninformed, discontented, and gullible ones to capture them in his multitude of snares.
Dwight Turner thanks for an excellent testimony. may Yah have mercy on you. i will pray for you. may i suggest that you ask the Father Himself how you can be healed. shalum
+Dwight Turner hi, maybe you should go to a health and wellness center like Wildwood www.wildwoodhealth.org/ or Uche Pines www.ucheepines.org/ or Weimar Institute newstart.com/#sthash.ZKqIsGPi.dpbs or TENNESSEE
MEET Ministry and Our Home Health Center
480 Neely Lane
Huntington, TN 38344
+RODNEY DAVIS Thank you for your concern and advice. I know about all the health institutions you mentioned. Problem is that I am retired and on minimal social security, and can barely afford to find money to eat on each month. Those institutions charge for their services. In the Spirit of Prophecy, the blueprint for our medical institutions was that patients were treated at no cost, and the worldwide church membership footed the bills through love donations. Then our medical doctors, against the pleas of Ellen White, voted to join the American Medical Association. From then on, our medical institutes look more like the world as time goes by. Our doctors push pills instead of teaching patients preventative medicine. Oh, how differently things would have been if God's people had obeyed His counsel. He would have greatly blessed the sanitariums (later called hospitals) in our use of His divinely ordained remedies, and the world would have beaten a path to our door, and the medical work would have indeed become the opening wedge to gain entrance into the hearts of those who were ill but healed through doctors use of natural remedies. But that's what could have been. When the medical work went the way of the world, the horse was out of the barn, and it's too late. I admire places like Weimar and have visited their medical facilities; but I can nowhere near afford their costs, especially with no medical insurance (including Medicare). So I must rely on the grace of God to get me through each day. Some days, death would be a welcomed guest. The VA does prescribe narcotic pain meds, but all they do is destroy my frontal lobes wherein lies my spirituality. Yet God has more power than all narcotics, and He has enabled me to keep up a personal ministry for Him over the past 12+ years; and how thankful I am and how much He has blessed me.
+Dwight Turner
If you are praying for healing and not being healed then you may need to pray for Wisdom.
Sometimes Wisdom will lead you to answers and healing. God still gets the glory.
Sometimes we have to take our own steps. We have to do what we can do and God will do what we can't do.
Wisdom is always the first thing that comes to us above everything else. So please pray for Wisdom. You may be able to heal yourself by what is revealed to you.
You say you are a Christian but do you have a relationship with the Lord and the Father?
Too many people pray religious prayers and belong to religious churches. Maybe you need to remove yourself from certain people and places.
Is your faith strong? Do you truly believe that Jesus can heal you? If you pray and believe then what you pray for will be done according to your faith. You cannot pray and doubt at the same time.
Jesus heals today.
My Jesus bless you and heal you but he may want to lead you in a way that grows and strengthen you.
Trust Jesus.
There's a long tradition of Christina meditation focused on the life, passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. Protestant theology is superficial.
Amazing story and well documented. A must see for everyone, regardless of if you see yourself as secular or Christian, religious or spiritual.
I have been in Shaolin Gung Fu Martial Arts for years! This was very eye opening. My Sifu and Grandmaster are Christians as well. They don’t teach those ceremonies, and spiritual blending. Thank the Lord. 🙏🏾
WOW! AMAZING & POWERFUL TESTIMONY!
I concur... ❤️🔥🤔💯
Very interesting. Yoga etc. don't belong in Christian church. "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." (1. John 4: 10)
Even we muslim not allowed to do that, because they inviting demons into them.. thats is soooo wrong. we should not friend with demon and djins
Amen!
We were created to praise and Love Jehovah only.
We must have the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.
It's in almost everything we see and do. This is why there will be a New Heaven and a New Earth.
This taught me not everyone who goes to church and prays is praying to TMH. I offer prayers of repentance for thinking martial arts was just a form of exercise 😢
God almighty bless you shine his face upon you and your family always amein
A most beautiful story. Thank you once more LED. God keep protecting this ministry.
I’m sharing this with my Mom(she’s 83) and hopefully we will be able to discuss it.
This was an amazing documentary thank God for this I was deep into yoga. Thank God for opening my eyes.
His marriage to his wife was falling apart because he was already married to the black belt before he met her. Like his instructor said "this is a marriage more than a promotion"
We cannot serve to masters. 2 sensei or sifus.
The only words I can say is Wow!
So is Martial Arts a form of channeling spirits to surpass human limitations? Or to put in other terms, summoning demons for assistance.
Never ever experienced this in many years of shotokan karate. Even the head of our organization I have never seen in any demonstration capable of SUPERNATURAL strength. What I have seen is muscle memory, dedication, and the use of body mechanics to create speed and power.
Martial arts treated as exercise system is not a problem, the problem is that you are always lured to zen teachings about chi, kundalini, spiritual energy etc. This is when and how the spirit beings influence your mind and take you as far from God as possible, that’s enough to destroy you. Sometimes you may even pay high price to learn secret techniques and that guilt will stop you from searching for God. Your pride will rise, your character will change. Eventually you will start putting your “knowledge” on the paper and start influence others. That’s why we have now hundreds books about spiritual energy, secret or ancient science “hidden” from Western world etc. This is simply part of fight for your soul by taking your time ...until you die, then God will have to execute the judgement.
@@danieljust295 Like your Bibles, you should maybe not always take those teachings so literally, eh? Some of it is simply metaphorical and supplying you with a way of understanding or visualization technique. You should practice a little more flexibility in your thought instead of taking every piece of literature, especially those which weren't written by a Christian culture yet throw Christian interpretation on it as concrete.
All I have to say for martial arts is, "Thank you", for getting rid of my arrogance and replacing it with confidence. After becoming a martial artist, and a damn good one, if I was so focused on only the physical side of it, I'd likely have kept my once prideful and elitist attitude and looked for opportunity to 'dominate' others with my newfound strength and athleticism. Instead, I learned to not fight and try to prove myself, but to be comfortable in my own skill and secure enough that I didn't need to prove myself. I won more fights with a smile than by having to actually use my martial arts, and when I last did, protecting a 12 year old from his abusers, only did so out of necessity for his safety and used the bare minimum of a choke hold to restrain and subdue my aggressor. This attitude came not from the more physical sport side of the art but from the philosophical that I am thankfully doing so well. The mentality, discipline, and meditative breathing techniques have done tremendous work in helping me get over, or rather, better regulate my mental health issues so that I'm no longer considered an angry or violent person, nor the anxiety wrecked mess I once temporarily became. I can step around my ego for the sake of the greater good in a situation, I can move on past guilt and embarrassment thanks to my introspective insight and self confidence so that negative feelings don't get stirred up. I didn't sit around with my thumb up my else blaming other things for my problems any longer and just wait around for a divine omnipotent being to solve them for me, because I had thankfully been given the strength of resolve and mind to do something about it with my own two hands.
Taking that into consideration, I can easily say that martial arts and the martial artists who I came to look up to as mentors have played a much larger role in giving me the practical skills to better myself constructively. Which is a hell of a lot more than I can say the warped xenophobic mindset Christianity and many of it's followers - ever so ready to go to war with anything that doesn't conform to it -- censoring or dissuading people or children from getting or learning the beneficial tools and skills like what can be found in martial arts and many other practices, a very damaging and unproductive habit when it's preventing someone from getting the help that they could find because you think it's so simple as being disagreeable with your beliefs.
So, honestly, stop with the conspiracy theory black and white worldview and maybe show a little humility yourself. To say, "Yeah, maybe I could be wrong. I'm not God, I'm not omniscient, maybe there truly is harmless wisdom to be found in this exotic art that my upbringing and personal bias may be preventing me from fully understanding as comprehensively as I'd like."
If God wants to lend me a hand, he's more than welcome, but thankfully, I'm doing okay and have a pretty good life, I'm happy, and possess a much better temperament, but even if I were to, I'd like to tackle it myself first before falling on my knees and begging for holy intervention. Strife is simply an opportunity to evolve, adapt, and improve your character. ; P
@@bluesummerstaylor3987 You definitely know your shit. Kudos!~
@@bluesummerstaylor3987 that was certainly a long diatribe. However, I have a question: should I discredit your experience as you have discredited his because it is not mine? Also, because my experience is not yours, does it make your experience false? Since every man is an individual, and has subjective opinion, experience and mindset, what then is the truth? Bearing in mind that the hallmark of truth is it's consistency.
Any fighting style is inevitably dangerous, so it is best to beseech God in all these arts. For it is written, everything is permitted not everything is constructive (1 Corinthians 10: 23)
Can you explain that In more detail?
Paul was not saying that God condones any action we wish to undertake. You cannot wrest one verse from its context and live accordingly: even devils do that. Think about what it would entail if your misrepresentation of Paul's message were true: if God changed the very illustration of His character - His holy law - then 1) He would be a liar, 2) Jesus's life, death, and resurrection would have been utterly pointless, and 3) there would be chaos, if the only standard needed to judge whether an action be beneficial would be our own understanding. And if all this were so, then Satan would win. He's always insinuated that God is not trustworthy, just, merciful, loving, and meriting worship. Self-worship is his modus operandi; if a person indulges it, it's the same as bowing to the devil himself. I advise you to read 2 Peter 3:14 - 18.
God bless you, friend. :)
@@d.ryanwebb1166 So does that mean our police officers, and military are condemned because they train In these arts to protect themselves?
@@TyMcLeod It's not for me to judge who will be condemned and who will be saved. God alone knows. But the Bible is our guide, and it's very clear on matters of spiritism, occultism, and suchlike - we are to stay away from them. But you ask a good question. I don't think most Christians realize what the martial arts entail. They're not knowingly transgressing God's law. God is just, but also merciful; I think He takes unwilling ignorance into account. And only God truly knows people and what's in their hearts. Willful ignorance - actively rejecting the truth when it is clearly presented to you - is a whole other thing. And, of course, those who just persist in continuing in a sinful pursuit and know that it's not of God - are condemned by their own conscience. But they can turn away from sin, truly repent, and ask for forgiveness, and God is faithful to forgive; Jesus Christ's grace is sufficient for us.
Great, I guess I’m permitted to be a r4pist-it’s just not edifying. Got it.
This was so fascinating and an absolute eye opener to watch! Thank you for the wonderful work you do, LED!
God bless you for posting this! I am from Tullahoma TN and I had a similar experience with martial arts. The Bagua is a perverted understanding of the Trinity. The Kirin and the Criosphinx is a perverted form of the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God. The Word says our battle is no longer against flesh and blood. The armor of God the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit are all you need to win the daily battles of life.
amein brother im not far from were ur which is cool anyway glad u woke up to the truth the only truth way and the life :) God bless you
Excellent documentary👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
What a beautiful testimony! I'm in tears...Marshall arts was also my religion but now my relationship is with our Great King and Savior Christ Jesus...amen!! All Glory to God our Father and our Savior Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!♡♡♡
Praise the Lord! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. What an encouragement! God bless you brother! ❤️
@@littlelightstudios amen !! May the peace and love of our Lord Jesus keep us!
All this is certainly true for games too. Like Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal kombat...
I was soooo obsessed with Tekken and a game called Soul Calibur. Back when I was asleep, I would play these games for hours. I was a video game addict, and would spend almost 3-5 hours playing video games. I would play in my ps2 or PSP.
What an outstanding production and testimony.....praise the Lord! #tears
This was a great video! I was sceptical about it but I'm glad I watched it all.
Praise God! What an wonderful and amazing testimony, and story of God's grace and redemption!
Where do we find part 2 ?
This is a very powerful and inspiring.
How amazing is one's testimony and how precious it must be to the Lord Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father...
I spent 6yrs on Okinawa many many spirits there. Great testimony!
The martial arts are definitely esoteric at it root. Enlightenment and kundalini mastery are the ultimate goal of martial arts. In Matrix, Neo had to upload kung fu knowledge to his mind in a way akin to meditation and letting your intuition impart knowledge. Throughought the series, you see that his fighting powers increase as has more gnostic revelations about reality and his connection to the matrix. But many people get lost in that message and foolishly believe that it's good to worship the creation and the material, and that we are all one. Not even slightly questioning is to why demonic Hollywood is pushing that shit out in the first place. Just take a look at the wachowski brothers today, they're a mess, yet they supposedly created a film that represents the "heights" of spiritual revelation. Lol, Why bother learning Karate/kung fu in the first place? The art has been watered down to the point that any amateur boxer with 2 years experience could destroy a lifelong wushu olympic gold medalist.
Glory to God for your insight!
You meant Wachowski sisters lol the result of demonic possession
Meditating by emptying your mind is the perfect invitation for demonic possession.
I have severe Whiplash Syndrome. So, I have to stretch or I'm very immobile.
Nothing wrong with stretching and neditating on the Lord while doing so.
Never empty your mind.
Fill it with Jesus.
No demon will be able to break that 'wall'.
God revealed to me that he wanted me to give up Shaolin and Korean arts. My friends were street fighters. We didn't train for competition. We trained palm and groin strikes. Throat strikes. That's what Wing Chun is really about. Eye gouging, maiming people in a life or death scenario. But God told me to just box. Eventually I gave that up too. I don't really enjoy fighting.
Indeed, martial arts is all about embodying archetypes through asanas/qiggong, it's a scam to corrode your soul
I do karate and I never knew that it was a bad thing to do thanks for this video 😊😁😃
THIS IS DEEP AND AM STUMBLING ON IT NOW😭

What a beautiful testimony! Praise God for his grace and yes, he is mighty to save!
WOW what an incredible testimony. Watch part 2 as well
Yes Christine. That's my intention. Thank you.
Oh, wow, he just said ADONAI! And that is YAHbsolutely YAHsome. 🤔❤️🔥🦜
What I valued from this was not the information (though it was eye-opening and great to know) but the real ness of the gospel power of God. I could sense just that he was not speaking words but experienced God's mercy and long-suffering love.
Amen! Praise the LORD!!
wow! praise the Lord!
Wow, thank you so much for this testimony. Thinking about my life in the past, I think it was God intervening every time I wanted to try out any form of martial art. I mean, they're quite fascinating and makes people curious. When I sprained my ankle after about one month in my first ever Kung Fu class, I wonder if He allowed that, too, just so He can pull me away from this spiritual practice... and now there's no need to be interested in learning them anymore. :)
Yes, that is the power of love, wisdom and justice. All things are possible. The Helper, from Abba, Father, above, is greater than the ones this world has. Free from eart-h matters and let Him, from within our own h-eart, guide us, always, like only He verily can. Specifically with each one, He knows how to also let us KNOW. 🔥❤️😘
Awesome wife……the awesome strength of God!!!!! This gave me so much hope to never stop praying for my family. God is amazing!!!!!!!!!
What great testimony! He spoke on the channel before but this is more detailed. Jesus came through for him in a mighty way 🙏🏽
WOW!! I would never have put all this together!
Great info! PRAISE BE TO GOD ❤
Thank God the seed of the Lord never left your spirit! Great testimony!
What I'm hearing here disturbs me in the same way that the reactions of many Christians do when they encounter evil. I'm a spirit filled believer and it has been my experience that no field of interest is without corruption. Whether it be dancing, music, politics, science, acting, sports, or martial arts, there is a tendency for people to turn things into an idol and go astray. It is our job as Christians to take a stand in the area of our gifts and show others where the line is at. Not only; but it is very important to not let Satan take the credit for all these things and to move them over into his territory. There has been a very long and ancient history of that taking place and it is not without difficulty that we go out there and do this. We are paddling up stream. To one who truly believes in God and is led by the word of God and by the Spirit, there is a no compromise stand against turning what we love into an unclean thing. We demonstrate the greatness of God. Even the Lord wrestled with Jacob, and many men of God have been valiant warriors. The lines that you've mentioned are all important and had you made other choices and not gone along with the world's system of doing these things, you may have been able to show us the right way. Instead of exercising your own authority over your own body by way of mental focus and dunamis power, you could do these things by the power of faith. That is what David did!
While Jacob did wrestle with God. God himself said best way is to not fight at the end he surrendered.
Even in Ecclesiastes it is said there will be time for everything under the heaven. War to peace and so on.
Just cause it says that doesn't make it right.
It just is stating what is allowed.
War was allowed for us to see how bad it is.
Christ says if someone is to strike you offer the other cheek.
There is even Martial arts that actually speak of kinda this type of system with even bending the enemies attacks against themselves.
Though if one be filled with the truest of spirits one would see why this still isn't the answer.
The flesh is just an experience. If we ignore the experience through fear.
We lose our sight towards the King. Towards the father.
For it is in fear that we believe any weapon against us will prosper. Leaving us to render to deception.
There is a level, a spectrum of variables that we do not understand at all, that God does. The anger, the frustrations and so on bounces off in our minds taking forms and ideas, created off of many deceptions causing more thoughts of confusion. Breeding the curse of the blood in families, God speaks of.
Why do you think ptsd exist.
It is the ignoring that ages of ancestors in situation where they were not left worthy for the experience being held.
Fear of the flesh being harmed is literally the whole story of Christ. He surrender to men, God again surrendered to men like that of Jacob. Only this time he paid with blood for the blood we have cursed.
Obviously we still have a lot to learn.
Surrender to the truth and see that the enemy will always be the one within.
It us who tends to ignore God in the state of fear.
Remember the generals and warriors heard God or angels to do so. Not the will given for themselves.
It is they who are allowed to have seen when and when not to take battle.
It is only he who speaks on when we may attack.
After all we do not know the wage of our sins in comparison to the one who may be attacking.
The way the spiritual world works, is by the currency unseen by the flesh.
Job was wrestling himself or a deamon.If he wrestled against God he would be dead.
@@WildArtistsl So God who is omnipotent, can't make it to where a man can't die?
Yep we don't have the same God. Also it's Jacob not job
@@WildArtistsl By the way if he was wresting a demon he would of surely died then too. Since being evil and their hate towards mankind.
Thank you for this powerful testimony. It really had helped me understand about this topic. God bless you
Please warning the viewers to pray before watch. Thank you. God bless you.
@littlelightstudio
This is very disappointing to me because for awhile I've been infatuated with martial arts and self-defense. Ever since middle school, I had experienced several occasions of helplessness, apprehension and fear of my peers. I've seen how quickly my peers can switch heads from being a buddy to being a nasty bully. And I mean straight up upset or just pure enjoyment of using intimidation to cowar me down. And in all those instances my peers would get in my face and challenge me to try and fight them as I stand there unsure of my ability. I was so scared I didn't even know I had fists. My fear forced me to diffuse every situation. No guts. No glory. As a result while in my adult years, I can't help but see fighting ability and training as a crucial part of my existence. Unless I'm supposed to keep letting agressive people belittle and intimidate me just because I won't bend to their will and they think they're my king. Now contrary to what this video said " that you can't separate the spiritual MA from the physical MA;" there is plenty of external MA styles out there. I have a heavy bag that I practice all my strikes on. I've practiced some knife defense and handgun defense and counterstrike. What I'm saying is not all MA is evil. Don't make your fighting system an internal way of life. Just make it an external tool for defense.
Hi Jameson!
I don't know if external MA is ok but you remind me of Nicodemus from the bible. He was a wealthy man and really wanted to know how to be saved. He sought out Jesus and asked him. Jesus told him to sell everything he had, give to the poor and follow Hm. Nicodemus was disappointed and walked away. He found the answer but could not embrace at that moment.
Maybe he did later but we are never told.
Its easy to reason away the truth.
I have done so too many times. This video reminded me to stay alert. Be vigilant with my choices, words and actions and be a soldier for Christ not a warrior for the flesh.
Whether you continue MA or not - I pray God blesses you on your journey as you choose Him.
@@1980skevin external MA is all about body hardening and conditioning. And it's all about techniques and endurance to. And they take the longest to master. I hope you're not walking away from this video thinking that all fighting styles are bad or ungodly in and of themselves. Think about it. Scripture condemns violence and war mongering. It doesn't condemn the training aspect of it. The way I see it, it's all about how you use it and what your own conscience says. The new testament doctrine of food and dietary laws says that if you can eat meat sacrificed to idols with a clean conscience or without defiling your conscience then you have Christ's blessing to do so. Same thing with pork and shellfish. And the same can be said about lesser things that are questioned a lot today like TV, music, sports, martial arts, interracial marriage etc. I can use martial arts to massacre other people or I can use it to defend my family. I can make it the central theme of my life or I can just make it part of my life. And like I said, I don't ever want to feel intimidated by my peers ever again.
I studied 6 different martial arts in my 20s and 30s, and I believed it was purely physical. I moved enough times I never got beyond black belt in a particular style. When I had to choose between family and martial arts, I gave up martial arts for my family. So by God’s grace I didn’t have to suffer what this Eric did. (My name is also Eric) I just did a personal study of everything the Bible can tell us about the new earth. There is nothing in God’s plan that involves violence or power for self. He wants peace, wholesome pleasure, and love for His children. Praise God!
What is the name of the piece of music at 6:25?
Absolutely amazing testimony...the first I've seen cover this specific topic.
I love this one. I used to love martial arts when I was younger but it never set right for me to do
Thank you!!! I can not begin to tell you how much I needed to see this. Yah bless all of you and keep you!!
Praise the Lord! Thank you so much for sharing that comment. You have no idea what a blessing it is to get encouraging words like this. God bless you brother paul🙏🙌❤
@@littlelightstudios You are most welcome. Now I hope Father will restore my marriage too.
Wow. Another really excellent video that helps on such a deep level. Takes a little bit of the complex PTSD pain and shame/guilt/anger away from that relationship,
I think it will help me Target my healing in prayer better now too, as well as genuinely pray for his also. And everyone I met that is deep into this. And my family. Thank you again. Really enjoyed it and I'm sure I'm going to watch this one multiple times as well, as I did with all the others. So powerful so necessary and so appreciated. Thank you and God bless ❤️🙏

Little light studios I love your friend is very knowledgeable on religion and spirituality in multiple subjects good work guys he's a great storyteller guysjust probably like my favorite episode of you guys show 🔥👍👍
Thanks an God bless you and your family in Jesus Christ name amen.
I just finished watching this after watching Eric's testimony on Just Be Blessed and have to say this was very intense and eye opening. I have two first degree black belts in Korean styles Hapkido and Moo Hap Sool so I recognized some of the training elements and terms he mentioned. I never really gave much thought to the spiritual portion of the training until he gave Biblical analysis to it. The ceremonies and circle kata with their symbolism were really creepy and a bit unsettling. I stopped for almost a decade due to a health scare I had in 2014 (my personal testimony) so I had been wanting to get back into training for a long time but my interest grows then wanes so it's making me think that God has been purposely keeping those doors that were part of my life closed. After seeing these videos it is giving me more confirmation.
Amazing testimony praise God and His mercy ! God bless you brothers and thanks for sharing this! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much for making this documentary. I have seen that circle symbol on many things and never really connected it to sun god worship in most applications.
I find it particularly poignant that in his distress at the evil presence, he knew to call on Jesus by his given name Yeshua - a slight variation from yeshia = salvation. It makes it all the more clear that the Spirit spoke in that second. What a beautiful redemption story!
Thank you Father for restoring this family and giving us one more example of your work and your presence.
I realize now Jesus freed me from so much. The alcoholic spirit, pride, anger, lust, lying and idols. Even as believers we right the battles against the flesh. Pray, fast, read the Bible and fellowship.
