This one might trigger some of you guys so fasten your seatbelts because a lot of what I’m going to say will go against your feelings and what you believe. I am not here to argue or bring division but to provide you with truth, fear of the Lord, and scripture! If you don’t like or trust what I say, take this into your prayer time with the Lord and have Him reveal the truth to you. So now that we got that out the way, let’s get into it!
If you aren’t aware of what “new age Christianity” is, it is belief in reincarnation, astrology, psychics, and presence of spiritual energy in objects, etc. This is what the bible calls curious arts (Acts 19:19 KJV). This also includes, but is not limited to, burning sage, using crystals, tarot cards, Ouija boards, chakras, palm reading, yoga, dream catchers, honestly the list can go on. Now I know a lot of you guys probably like, “well I don’t use it for that” or “I don’t understand how that can that be a bad thing” or “it’s not that serious”. See that is a lie from the enemy because it is that serious. It doesn’t matter what purpose you think you using it for, the enemy doesn’t care what your purpose for use is. What you did was give him an open door to have access to your life. Now this post is targeted to believers who use any of these.
We are only to worship our Lord God, nothing and no one else. We don’t need NONE OF THOSE ITEMS to have access to Him. I used to burn sage and say a prayer thinking I was doing something good and since I was praying, that it was okay because I was “cleaning the air and asking God to come into my space.” Bruh. None of that is biblical. You do not, I repeat, YOU DO NOT NEED NONE OF THAT TO GET ACCESS TO JESUS! Our God is a gracious God who freely gives without reproach and we don’t need to give the enemy access to our lives in such a way. The biblical terms for these practices are called The Occult. Deuteronomy 18: 9-13 talks about this.
“When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abomination of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abominations to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not appointed such for you.” Deuteronomy 18:9-13 NKJV
God wants for us to rely solely on His word and His word only. These new age ways are connections and doorways for demons!
If you’re thinking, “well we don’t live in those biblical times anymore. It’s different now.” Well last time I checked, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” Hebrews 13:8. Yes, some of the Old Testament lifestyle is different due to the times that we are in but as far as worshipping idols and all of these others things, if God didn’t approve of them 2000 years ago, why would He change His mind now? All of these things are demonic and the enemy is doing a great job of tricking people into thinking that they are good and we don’t need to take it seriously because the rest of us are “doing too much.” Do not be deceived. If you guys want to learn more, I had attached a video of a woman of God, Jenny Weaver, who used to practice wicken and how she came to Christ. Her testimony is OUTSTANDING and definitely worth listening to.
