Why is the new age so deceptive?
What makes it so deceptive?
Why is it the biggest threat currently to the Church of Jesus Christ?
How does it seduce people?
How is it deceiving people?
Well, I was in the new age for many, many years, and praise be to God, I was plucked right out of the depths of it so fast. You could hardly believe it.
If you know my testimony, you know that it was a true miracle. God saved me and he pursued me like no other. And literally, my stubbornness and my unbelief had no match against God.
With the depth I was in, I knew so many other souls that were there, most of which came from the church, most of which grew up in the church, and most of which were Christian. But somewhere along the line, they "realized" that Jesus Christ is just some enlightened guy. And that the whole Bible is a deception meant to control people.
That doesn't just happen in an instant. It's a slow progression by the devil. Gains access to someone's mind. And it's through things like tarot cards, psychics, mediums who speak to the dead, crystals, transcendental meditations, Buddhist meditations, and yoga.
Yoga, to be yoked with universal consciousness. That's what it means. [inaudible] they call it. It's an entirely spiritual discipline, not just stretching, not just physical exercise. It's a real religion and many other things that entail the new age, but a new age predominantly is a belief system that grounds itself in ancient texts, ancient scriptures, and ancient beliefs, but with a modern twist, with a quantum physics twist.
So you'll hear the word quantum in the new age, a lot about raising your vibration, increasing your energy, increasing your consciousness, expanding your consciousness. A lot of psychological terms. Some people go through psychology or they go through yoga or study spirituality. It's very easy to fall into the new age because the deeper questions obviously come about. And the most popular thing now is new age answers.
The church no longer dominates the realm of thought in spiritual circles. If you're atheist or agnostic and you are curious, just like I was, chances are gonna end up in the new age. And what's so seductive about it is it makes you feel like you're onto something no one else is onto yet. That's what draws people in. That's how the devil draws people in. Just like the occult, you might as well call it the new occult, because that's what it is.
Everything that's in it is the occult. There are incredible supernatural things in the new age, just as supernatural as in the church many times. You know, I had people who could quote unquote speak to the dead, who knew things about my past. Away relatives that I had to verify later, insane accuracy because these demons are real. And these demons are watching people. And these demons communicate with people either out of deception or willingly.
This person thought they were doing a great thing helping people reach their past dead family members. This person literally thought they were doing a good thing. Little did they know they were channeling demons and all their lights would flicker and stuff. Like, whoa, they're here. It was crazy. But I thought it was fascinating, you know, I'm like, whoa, there's something to this. You know, I grew up with atheist and agnostic spiritual things is even weird to even think about. We just came from a bunch of random explosions of atoms, no point to life. And then, you know, obviously, that doesn't add up.
So it lures you in with this secrecy. Like you're onto something no one else is onto, yet the Bible, oh, that's been around for thousands of years. All these people believe in that. There's no way that's the truth. Only a select few know the truth. This is just like mysticism.
The book of Colossians was used to address a big portion of Nas teachings during that time. This is not, this is not some type of new thing. This is just branded and marketed in a new way. The devil's using this to, to build that one world religion that's gonna be, oh, there's many ways to heaven. Not just through Christ. So you could say God all you want, but the second you say Jesus Christ, that's a big no-no. Because the second you even know about who Jesus Christ actually is, all else falls into place in the new age.
He's an enlightened person, he's an enlightened human. And you can reach the same Christ consciousness as he did. But he's not God. He's not the Savior. He wasn't resurrected. If he did resurrect, he just tapped into some supernatural ability that we can all tap into. So the new age makes you feel so powerful. And just like the deception of Adam and Eve in the garden, that you can be like God, that God's Word is not the truth. It's the same deception.
Now, new agers believe in yoga you can merge with God, and you can merge with the universal consciousness. They literally will say they believe in God, but they don't believe in Jesus Christ. They believe that their soul can merge with God. It's this spiritual discipline that feels so limited and exclusive that lures people in and gets people so prideful. It's so hard to witness to a new age agent because they think they're so right and they think you're so wrong.
No, it's the case for others. But it's especially true in the new age, especially because they're so involved with the supernatural. They're so intertwined with the demonic and they have no idea. So these demons have such power over their mind. And if a new ager comes to Christ, they're gonna need serious deliverance. Serious deliverance. Kundalini yoga with that serpent going up, your spying causing enlightenment. Come on, that's straight Satan.
I'm a certified yoga instructor. I don't teach it anymore, but I literally have a certification to teach yoga. Hundreds of hours of training. Went to Thailand to train in yoga, and went to China, hoping to learn from a Qigong master. I, I was obsessed with this stuff. I wanted to know the secrets and I didn't know about Christ. I didn't grow up with Christ, and that's with so many souls now. So understanding the new age is so essential, because people who get involved in it will slowly stop talking about Jesus.
They'll slowly stop, you know, start losing their love for the Word and they'll slowly start to believe in their healing journey, their inner being, their inner self, their inner light awakening to who they truly are. All these little buzzwords that sound so fluffy. Compare nothing to the power of Jesus Christ. The power of the Holy Spirit and fellowship intimacy with the Holy Spirit. That is the best possible thing anyone can have. There is not many ways to heaven. There's one. And it's through Jesus Christ. And his love is real. His mercy is real. It's powerful. It's the truth. He is the way, the truth, and the life. This is the great truth! Lies will abound. Lawlessness will abound. Deception. Doctrines from demons will be accepted. And it's happening one by one.
People are getting plucked off the church by this deceptive new age. They're getting into yoga thinking it's all stretching in fun and games. It's not, it's not. Yoga was literally channeled to these ancient sages in India by divine revelation. Channeled directly from demons, spiritual teachings from the ancient texts called the Vedas and the Bagga Gito, which is the Hindu Bible.
This is real deal stuff. There's a whole pantheon of gods and goddesses in Hinduism directly tied to yoga. [inaudible] yoga, interaction with those demons. That's what it, that's what it is. Kundalini yoga. It's the serpent up the spine.
If you go just for stretching and physical exercise, that's amazing, but call it something else. Because a lot of those poses, they're not just activating organs and healing the body. Some of them are actually worshiping demons and you don't want to worship demons. You're gonna give the devil a legal right to get into your mind and slowly insert seeds of doubt. This demon will slowly insert seeds of doubt into you and you will eventually, seven or ten years later. What happened to my faith?
You're away from Christ and you're a huge new agent without even realizing it. Close all the doors, close all the open doors. Live a sold-out life for Jesus. Get filled with the Holy Spirit beyond the fire. Be filled with love, grace, and power, and do God's work. Cut down on deception. Be discerning of deception. Study the words, study scripture. Sharpen your knife so you don't fall prey to any of these little things Satan's trying to throw at you. And you can help others who are slowly falling into it. Because "Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life".
