00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.280
Hey guys and welcome back to the salt Not sweetener

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.779
podcast. I am your host Danielle Townsend and

00:00:08.779 --> 00:00:12.699
I believe this is episode 23 and this episode

00:00:12.699 --> 00:00:18.480
has been a long time coming and I have really

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.219
felt Called recently to talk about my history

00:00:25.219 --> 00:00:31.820
in witchcraft new age tarot card reading, oracle

00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:35.259
card reading, psychic mediumship. I've shared

00:00:35.259 --> 00:00:38.340
with y 'all time and time again how it affected

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:42.960
me, but I have not like just done an episode

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.520
an episode dedicated to that and how I got into

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.659
that and how it impacted me and what my views

00:00:50.659 --> 00:00:54.100
are on it now and what the Lord has showed me

00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:58.909
and revealed to me about New Age and about divination

00:00:58.909 --> 00:01:01.189
and about witchcraft and all of these things

00:01:01.189 --> 00:01:03.850
and I'm gonna share it here with y 'all today

00:01:03.850 --> 00:01:06.930
and I figured I would start by telling y 'all

00:01:06.930 --> 00:01:12.750
how I even got into New Age. How did I even start

00:01:12.750 --> 00:01:15.090
putting my faith in that? How did I even get

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:17.430
involved in that as someone who was raised going

00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:20.010
to church? As someone who was raised knowing

00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:23.489
the Lord or supposedly knowing the Lord? Because

00:01:23.489 --> 00:01:26.569
y 'all know that I have a background. When I

00:01:26.569 --> 00:01:29.609
grew up, I grew up in the church. I went and

00:01:29.609 --> 00:01:33.090
I attended Catholic Church every weekend. I had

00:01:33.090 --> 00:01:36.310
my first communion. I did my catechism classes,

00:01:36.370 --> 00:01:41.209
my CCD classes, up through... I stopped going

00:01:41.209 --> 00:01:45.189
regularly once I was in sixth grade, I believe,

00:01:45.290 --> 00:01:48.489
after my sixth grade year. And then I was just

00:01:48.489 --> 00:01:51.750
attending on Sundays. And when I was in high

00:01:51.750 --> 00:01:54.879
school, because I attended Catholic Church with

00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.920
my grandmother who I loved dearly and when I

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.659
was in high school she passed away it was my

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:06.420
junior year because I was still you know learning

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:09.199
how to drive I'd freshly like gotten my license

00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.439
and everything like that and she passed away

00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.659
and when she passed away I stopped going to churches

00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:18.599
frequently and I did go and get confirmed and

00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.860
the church finished getting confirmed And after

00:02:21.860 --> 00:02:25.060
that, I stopped going to church completely. And

00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:28.020
although I believed in God, honestly, I was angry

00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:31.159
at God, and I was upset, and I was hurt, and

00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.379
I didn't know, I didn't truly know God, I didn't

00:02:34.379 --> 00:02:37.360
truly love God, I didn't truly fear God, and

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.080
I most definitely did not truly accept Jesus

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.409
Christ as my Lord and Savior. I wasn't trying

00:02:44.409 --> 00:02:47.009
to live a life pleasing to the Lord. I wasn't

00:02:47.009 --> 00:02:48.990
trying to pursue a relationship with Christ.

00:02:49.150 --> 00:02:51.569
I was doing what I wanted to do. I was chasing

00:02:51.569 --> 00:02:54.189
fleshly desires and doing what made me feel better

00:02:54.189 --> 00:03:01.569
and I would say it was when I was I remember

00:03:01.569 --> 00:03:05.889
Since I could remember I was always really interested

00:03:05.889 --> 00:03:11.289
in like psychics and ghost shows and like would

00:03:11.289 --> 00:03:14.909
love watching TV shows of like when people would

00:03:14.909 --> 00:03:17.189
get readings from psychic mediums and all those

00:03:17.189 --> 00:03:23.750
kinds of things and I did not have a specific

00:03:23.750 --> 00:03:27.770
set of beliefs because I know now if I read scripture

00:03:27.770 --> 00:03:32.009
if I had read scripture then Like I do now a

00:03:32.009 --> 00:03:34.669
lot of the questions that I had would have been

00:03:34.669 --> 00:03:37.870
answered But in all honesty, I would say that

00:03:37.870 --> 00:03:44.300
was a big gap that the devil ended up using later

00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:47.780
was I, and I'm gonna give y 'all warnings and

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:51.669
kind of red flags to look out for. that I believe

00:03:51.669 --> 00:03:54.610
were open doors that allowed me to fall into

00:03:54.610 --> 00:03:56.610
the lies of new age spirituality and believe

00:03:56.610 --> 00:03:59.009
the lies of new age and I would say the first

00:03:59.009 --> 00:04:02.169
problem I had was I was not biblically literate

00:04:02.169 --> 00:04:05.889
meaning I did not actually read my bible and

00:04:05.889 --> 00:04:09.150
know scripture a lot of the lies I believed from

00:04:09.150 --> 00:04:11.810
the enemy a lot of the lies I believed in new

00:04:11.810 --> 00:04:15.229
age a lot of the lies I believe would have been

00:04:15.229 --> 00:04:21.420
answered if I had read scripture I would have

00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:26.300
known not to commune with the dead. I would have

00:04:26.300 --> 00:04:29.220
known that divination was a sin. I would have

00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:33.600
known reading in scripture that it produces separation

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:37.459
between you and the Heavenly Father. Because

00:04:37.459 --> 00:04:40.519
there were a lot of things that sounded sweet

00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.560
to my ears when I was learning about psychics

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.839
and the dead and things like that that if I would

00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:52.410
have just read my Bible prayed for an understanding

00:04:52.410 --> 00:04:57.670
it may have saved me falling into a lot of pits

00:04:57.670 --> 00:05:00.930
and believing a lot of deception and all honesty

00:05:00.930 --> 00:05:06.930
so I had already had a curiosity when it comes

00:05:06.930 --> 00:05:09.290
to psychic and when it comes to the dead and

00:05:09.290 --> 00:05:11.269
when it comes to ghosts and everything like that

00:05:11.269 --> 00:05:15.250
ghost shows and everything like that and it was

00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:21.459
in I believe 20 22 the spring of 2022 when I

00:05:21.459 --> 00:05:25.279
started meditating I started doing it to calm

00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.259
my anxiety because at that time I had really

00:05:27.259 --> 00:05:30.500
bad panic attacks and I remember when I was meditating

00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:35.720
I had felt like I started seeing things and The

00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:40.100
more research I did into it led me into the whole

00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:43.879
spirit guides and new age spirituality and all

00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:52.009
of that and fast forward to Fall of 2022 I'm

00:05:52.009 --> 00:05:55.350
watching this new Halloween movie that came out

00:05:55.350 --> 00:05:58.810
Halloween themed movie that was all about witches

00:05:58.810 --> 00:06:07.110
and It was a very popular movie and It was it

00:06:07.110 --> 00:06:09.490
wasn't you know, all the movies you'd seen before

00:06:09.490 --> 00:06:14.220
were so far detached which like witchcraft where

00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:15.920
they were just flying on brooms and everything

00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.779
like that but this movie had people using herbs

00:06:18.779 --> 00:06:22.060
that you could find nowadays and crystals and

00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:24.240
different things like that and talking about

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.139
like new age terms that you hear and I would

00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:30.560
see people and I was like wait this actually

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.220
seems a very doable very legit and there was

00:06:35.220 --> 00:06:38.540
someone that I was friends with um that as a

00:06:38.540 --> 00:06:42.459
joke and as just kind of a peaked interest, we

00:06:42.459 --> 00:06:47.060
decided to try lighting candles around Hollow.

00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.600
Again, we thought we were just joking around.

00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:55.560
We were just in and tried doing a spell. And

00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.759
for some reason, I don't know how to explain

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.040
it, but my curiosity was peaked and I started

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.259
reading into things more. And the next day or

00:07:07.259 --> 00:07:10.779
a couple days later, I was by myself. and it

00:07:10.779 --> 00:07:12.779
was at night and it was a night when I wasn't

00:07:12.779 --> 00:07:15.019
at work and I decided okay, let me give this

00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:23.079
thing a try again and I lit a candle. I was looking

00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.220
up actual spell tutorials on TikTok. I remember

00:07:27.220 --> 00:07:30.000
doing it and when someone had said to call on

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.100
Hecate, which later on would be a deity that

00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:36.720
I would have a lot of piqued interest in and

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.540
I can talk about that sometime on here too. um

00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:43.579
and basically petitioned her to help you with

00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:47.740
the spell and i had did a spell for more money

00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:50.959
and petitioned her and i wasn't thinking much

00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.160
of it until a few minutes later i get a call

00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:00.160
from the job i work offering me to come in for

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.800
that shift for like triple pay Now I end up saying

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.500
no because it was the middle of the night. It

00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:07.279
was like midnight I was a night shift worker

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.480
and I did not feel it going into work at midnight

00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:14.220
But to me that was an oh my gosh, this is real.

00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.100
Oh my gosh, this works Oh my gosh, I did a thing

00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:20.060
for money and this happened and I'll tell you

00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:24.980
all that that Opened up a door for me where after

00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:27.319
that that was all I don't know how to explain

00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:28.879
that or then there was a fixation where that's

00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.500
all I wanted to read about and that's all I wanted

00:08:30.500 --> 00:08:34.559
to learn about And for weeks on I would start

00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.059
to fixate on that and start fixating on learning

00:08:38.059 --> 00:08:40.639
about deities and learning about all these different

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:45.720
And I quickly that was my entrance into and I

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.039
dove into New Age spirituality and I remember

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:55.639
saying to a friend at the time who had made a

00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.620
comment of like I think you should get in the

00:08:57.620 --> 00:09:01.879
tarot cards because I now recognize this as a

00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.840
prophetic gift that the Lord has given me. But

00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.980
throughout my life, there would be so many circumstances

00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:10.860
where I would say I have a feeling about something,

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.000
and then that thing would happen. That thing

00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.460
would come to pass. And around that time, there

00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:17.440
had been a lot of things like that happening

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:21.940
that were very eerie. And I remember telling

00:09:21.940 --> 00:09:23.580
that friend, I don't think I'm ever gonna get

00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:25.360
in the tarot cards. I don't wanna know the future.

00:09:25.460 --> 00:09:27.940
I feel like that's too much anxiety for me. I

00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:30.389
feel like... you know, that would just open up

00:09:30.389 --> 00:09:33.009
too many doors of control and saying that at

00:09:33.009 --> 00:09:35.710
the time. And then, wouldn't you know it, like

00:09:35.710 --> 00:09:39.750
a week later, I'm at a store. I was at Five Below

00:09:39.750 --> 00:09:41.929
at the time, and they sold tarot cards that were

00:09:41.929 --> 00:09:46.629
like these star -themed ones. And I end up buying

00:09:46.629 --> 00:09:50.429
a pack. And honestly, the rest is history, because

00:09:50.429 --> 00:09:53.669
I immediately got fixated into it. And at first,

00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:57.809
it was just a fun, like kind of puzzle to me.

00:09:58.110 --> 00:10:03.169
And what's interesting, I had the other day share

00:10:03.169 --> 00:10:06.429
just a little bit of testimony about tarot card

00:10:06.429 --> 00:10:09.629
reading on TikTok, just sharing with people,

00:10:09.850 --> 00:10:11.809
hey, you know, it leads to separation, repent.

00:10:12.250 --> 00:10:14.149
And there was someone who commented, I didn't

00:10:14.149 --> 00:10:17.009
read the full comment. I ignored the comment.

00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:19.789
I honestly deleted the comment. I'm not one to

00:10:19.789 --> 00:10:22.549
usually delete a lot of comments. But when I

00:10:22.549 --> 00:10:24.850
saw it, I just understood that this person wasn't

00:10:24.850 --> 00:10:26.950
coming to have a discussion. They were just coming

00:10:26.950 --> 00:10:31.539
to... sow seeds of doubt and deconstruct. And

00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:33.360
I wasn't about to have that. I used to be one

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.620
of those people pleasers that let me keep everybody's

00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:38.779
opinion up. Maybe my page, if this person's on

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:42.179
here spreading lies of the enemy, if I feel like

00:10:42.179 --> 00:10:43.539
deleting it, I'm going to delete it. I don't

00:10:43.539 --> 00:10:50.740
care. But this girl had said, you know, tarot

00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:53.200
cards are only spiritual for people who are spiritual

00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.159
or people who are religious. For some people

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.990
like me, they're just puzzles. And I didn't go

00:10:58.990 --> 00:11:01.350
on to read the rest, but I kind of laughed because

00:11:01.350 --> 00:11:03.230
I was like, yeah, that's why I used to tell myself

00:11:03.230 --> 00:11:07.490
too. When I very first got into it, I just thought

00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:09.370
it was really fun of, oh, you pull cards and

00:11:09.370 --> 00:11:12.190
you can make stories with them. And it's kind

00:11:12.190 --> 00:11:14.190
of interesting just seeing the stories you can

00:11:14.190 --> 00:11:19.230
make out of them. And then when I started doing

00:11:19.230 --> 00:11:21.309
card pulls and writing things down and putting

00:11:21.309 --> 00:11:24.029
them together and some things and life started

00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:27.039
happening that played out similarly. I started

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.120
putting my faith in the cards where it's like,

00:11:29.259 --> 00:11:33.580
wait, is this real? Wait, like, is this telling

00:11:33.580 --> 00:11:35.259
me? Because I'm telling y 'all right now that,

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:38.740
like, I didn't put my faith in those things or

00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:41.860
believe in those things for so long because they

00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:44.379
were clearly harmful or because I thought they

00:11:44.379 --> 00:11:46.500
were fake. I want to make this very clear right

00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:48.980
now that there is some information that people

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:50.820
are getting from readings and from cards that

00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:53.940
are very real, but there is also a lot of information

00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:58.200
that they're being as very deceptive. Okay, because

00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.860
you have to remember that the source that you

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:02.120
are getting all of these things from is not God

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.960
And if it's not God It is from the enemy and

00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.259
we know that the enemy he is called in the Bible

00:12:08.259 --> 00:12:12.240
the father of lies And he comes only to lie to

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.419
steal to kill to destroy To create separation

00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:17.279
between you and Christ and he dragged you down

00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:22.899
to hell with him Okay It's a lot easier for Satan

00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:26.279
to get you to believe lies if he sprinkles in

00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:32.960
a little bit of truth Trust me, I have been through

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:39.159
it again and again and again That's what he does

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:40.980
he'll sprinkle a little bit truth because if

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:42.960
everything was clearly lies he wouldn't put your

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.899
faith or your trust in it for very long Gives

00:12:46.899 --> 00:12:53.330
you just enough truth to get you to dive in And

00:12:53.330 --> 00:12:56.190
that was where I started getting kicked off with

00:12:56.190 --> 00:12:58.570
the tarot. And what kind of got me in really

00:12:58.570 --> 00:13:01.490
deep was I had something happen where I wasn't

00:13:01.490 --> 00:13:03.929
able to work my job anymore. So all of a sudden

00:13:03.929 --> 00:13:06.950
I lost the normal stream of income I had. And

00:13:06.950 --> 00:13:09.789
I was like, well, what do I do? And I realized

00:13:09.789 --> 00:13:12.970
I had a following on TikTok. I could go live

00:13:12.970 --> 00:13:15.730
consistently and I decided, well, for right now

00:13:15.730 --> 00:13:20.029
until something else comes in. Sell terror readings

00:13:20.029 --> 00:13:22.610
and I'll make that my job and I'll do that online

00:13:22.610 --> 00:13:26.129
and I started doing that and I wasn't making

00:13:26.129 --> 00:13:30.889
all the money I needed but I was making enough

00:13:30.889 --> 00:13:35.470
to provide the basic necessities to myself and

00:13:35.470 --> 00:13:41.309
I That was the path I end up going down y 'all

00:13:41.309 --> 00:13:45.110
I ended up making that my full -time thing I

00:13:45.110 --> 00:13:49.149
Ended up making that because I managed to, at

00:13:49.149 --> 00:13:50.909
this time, remember y 'all, I wasn't reading

00:13:50.909 --> 00:13:54.409
scripture, I wasn't trying to live a life pleasing

00:13:54.409 --> 00:13:56.870
to the Lord, but I felt like I had a prophetic

00:13:56.870 --> 00:13:59.710
gift. And I have shared this on here before.

00:14:00.049 --> 00:14:02.269
I've had a desire my entire life and a knowing

00:14:02.269 --> 00:14:04.909
that I am meant to help people with my life experiences.

00:14:05.509 --> 00:14:08.830
And every career path I sought, every job I sought,

00:14:09.129 --> 00:14:11.330
I was trying to help people in some way. And

00:14:11.330 --> 00:14:13.370
in my mind, I was starting to say, well, maybe

00:14:13.370 --> 00:14:18.330
this is My career path maybe this is my job opportunity

00:14:18.330 --> 00:14:21.549
to be able to help people and also use my spiritual

00:14:21.549 --> 00:14:26.090
gifts and I truly believe that I was doing amazing

00:14:26.090 --> 00:14:29.269
wonderful things and I believe that there was

00:14:29.269 --> 00:14:32.129
nothing wrong with what I was doing because I

00:14:32.129 --> 00:14:34.450
didn't feel like I had any bad intent when people

00:14:34.450 --> 00:14:38.850
came to me I Truly wanted to help them and was

00:14:38.850 --> 00:14:42.299
trying to find the best solutions Was trying

00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:44.519
to be a comfort. I was trying to be a light in

00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.379
their life. I was trying to be goodness I was

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:48.399
trying to do that without Jesus Christ and I

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.559
was trying to do that and on Christ like methods

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:57.019
How can I be a light if I'm not taking from the

00:14:57.019 --> 00:15:00.779
actual light source We know in scripture that

00:15:00.779 --> 00:15:03.200
Jesus is the light that has come into the world.

00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.509
We know that Jesus is the only true redemption

00:15:06.509 --> 00:15:09.870
jesus is the only true salvation and i was trying

00:15:09.870 --> 00:15:12.809
to offer light to people and so i was trying

00:15:12.809 --> 00:15:15.470
to offer them healing and all of these things

00:15:15.470 --> 00:15:19.230
apart from the heavenly father apart from jesus

00:15:19.230 --> 00:15:22.809
it doesn't matter how loving i was or anything

00:15:22.809 --> 00:15:24.769
like that i wasn't pointing them back to the

00:15:24.769 --> 00:15:26.730
source i wasn't pointing them back to the truth

00:15:26.730 --> 00:15:31.809
i wasn't pointing them back at jesus so no matter

00:15:31.809 --> 00:15:36.559
what my intent was i wasn't being Was being a

00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:39.059
tool for the enemy whether or not I want to admit

00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:42.679
it and every tarot card reader out there Every

00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.879
Oracle card reader out there right now whether

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.720
or not they call themselves a Christian are Doing

00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.799
that same exact thing no matter their intent

00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.639
They are leading people in separation from Christ

00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:56.820
and there is a great deception going on right

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:58.580
now where people believe that they can be Christian

00:15:58.580 --> 00:16:02.120
and a tarot card reader Like they can be surrendered

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:07.740
to Christ and be creating disciples while also

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:09.679
being a tarot card reader, while also being an

00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:13.159
oracle card reader. And scripture makes it very

00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:15.360
clear that you cannot be double -minded, that

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.419
you cannot serve both masters, that you cannot

00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:19.720
be Luke 1, that you cannot have one foot in the

00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.220
world and one foot out the world. God says no

00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:26.159
divination, point blank period. God says no witchcraft,

00:16:26.259 --> 00:16:28.120
no sorcery, point blank period. He doesn't say

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.179
you can do witchcraft and sorcery and divination

00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:35.700
for these reasons. No. Because I'm telling y

00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:37.779
'all right now you're not talking to Jesus in

00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:39.580
those tarot cards. You're not talking to God

00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:42.220
in those tarot cards You're not talking to him

00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:46.120
in those oracle cards And that's what we're moving

00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:52.320
on to next who are you talking to? Who are you

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.379
talking to who are you communing with? And the

00:16:57.379 --> 00:16:59.340
best way I can word this answer is monitoring

00:16:59.340 --> 00:17:06.500
spirits When Satan when lucifer fell from heaven

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:11.279
he took a third of the angels down with him and

00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.380
until jesus christ returns again we know this

00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:17.059
from reading scripture and the new heaven is

00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:21.660
established satan he is the lowercase g god of

00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:25.299
this world and all of those demons those fallen

00:17:25.299 --> 00:17:29.660
angels are running rampant on this earth trying

00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:35.369
to get you to separate from christ They are running

00:17:35.369 --> 00:17:39.509
amok creating habit creating destruction sowing

00:17:39.509 --> 00:17:43.849
seeds of doubt of anger of insecurity lust for

00:17:43.849 --> 00:17:48.950
all of these things all of the evil and Hopes

00:17:48.950 --> 00:17:51.970
that you will fall into that and not repent and

00:17:51.970 --> 00:17:58.529
hopes that you will not see salvation That is

00:17:58.529 --> 00:18:01.690
their mission Satan knows he's lost out on heaven

00:18:01.690 --> 00:18:03.390
so he's trying to take it away from us. Hell

00:18:03.390 --> 00:18:06.450
wasn't created for us. It was created to be a

00:18:06.450 --> 00:18:11.430
place for Satan and the demons to be banished

00:18:11.430 --> 00:18:15.769
to. And he's trying to drag us along with him.

00:18:16.630 --> 00:18:20.029
And who are you talking to? People believe when

00:18:20.029 --> 00:18:22.089
I was a tarot card reader I truly believed I

00:18:22.089 --> 00:18:24.490
was talking to spirit guides. I believed I was

00:18:24.490 --> 00:18:26.730
able to commune with the dead. I believed I was

00:18:26.730 --> 00:18:29.420
able to commune with people's ancestors. I believed

00:18:29.420 --> 00:18:31.200
I was able to talk to angels. I believed I was

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.579
able to talk to demons. I believed I was able

00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:36.380
to talk to different deities and different religions.

00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.019
And I want to make that very clear that we know

00:18:40.019 --> 00:18:41.859
also from reading scripture that these other

00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:44.940
deities are false gods. We know that these are

00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:49.460
also demonic influences. Okay, I want to make

00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:52.180
that very clear. So at the root of it, it doesn't

00:18:52.180 --> 00:18:54.039
matter what they call themselves. You are talking

00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:56.380
to demons. You're talking to demonic influences.

00:18:57.170 --> 00:18:59.170
When you're doing this tarot card readings and

00:18:59.170 --> 00:19:02.549
those Oracle card readings So to make that very

00:19:02.549 --> 00:19:04.630
clear you are not talking to the dead grandma

00:19:04.630 --> 00:19:10.049
You're not talking to Poseidon you're not talking

00:19:10.049 --> 00:19:13.950
to Whatever the spirit guides name is you are

00:19:13.950 --> 00:19:17.950
talking To a demon I'll also make it clear that

00:19:17.950 --> 00:19:21.269
the Heavenly Father Jesus Christ the angels aren't

00:19:21.269 --> 00:19:23.170
saying around and communicating with you through

00:19:23.170 --> 00:19:27.299
divination Divination is an abomination God's

00:19:27.299 --> 00:19:30.140
eyes divination is the sin so they are not going

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:32.940
to sit there and talk to you through that and

00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:38.039
feed into that Now I want to be very clear I

00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:41.380
do believe that the Holy Spirit was still stirring

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:45.319
within me that God was still Talking to me from

00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.740
time to time in my private time and my time when

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:52.240
I was just quietly trying to be alone when I

00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.039
was In prayer when I was in those times, I do

00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.019
believe that the Lord had spoken to me I do believe

00:19:59.019 --> 00:20:00.740
that there are times where he was guiding me.

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.920
I do not believe that he was talking to me while

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:07.960
I was pulling comments I Don't believe that he

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.660
was Communicating with me through that and I

00:20:11.660 --> 00:20:13.380
don't believe that he communicates with anyone

00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:15.859
else through that because that would go against

00:20:15.859 --> 00:20:19.519
his word I Want to be very clear that that is

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.750
who you're talking to So of course a lot of people

00:20:22.750 --> 00:20:24.470
have the question of well, then how do they know

00:20:24.470 --> 00:20:27.849
this information? How do they know this information?

00:20:28.430 --> 00:20:32.430
monitoring spirits do What the word says which

00:20:32.430 --> 00:20:39.069
is monitor? There are demons Demonic influences

00:20:39.069 --> 00:20:43.089
that have watched you your entire life and have

00:20:43.089 --> 00:20:47.529
watched your parents Have watched their grandparents.

00:20:47.549 --> 00:20:52.680
They have been around For a very very very very

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.799
long time these demons aren't just killed These

00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:02.079
demons have been around four years Generations

00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:07.740
on generations on generations They watch you

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:10.500
in those private moments they watch you in those

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:12.400
quiet moments. Yeah, they can tell you what your

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.880
last relationship was like They can describe

00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.500
your hometown. They can describe what you wrote

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:22.289
down in your journal They can describe what you

00:21:22.289 --> 00:21:25.829
cry about at night Yeah, they can tell you that

00:21:25.829 --> 00:21:27.910
thing that you wrote down 20 minutes ago as they

00:21:27.910 --> 00:21:32.849
were watching you write it You know when you

00:21:32.849 --> 00:21:36.130
see people talking to mediums and you see people

00:21:36.130 --> 00:21:38.750
talking to terror readers and Oracle card readers

00:21:38.750 --> 00:21:40.990
Oftentimes they're looking for information that

00:21:40.990 --> 00:21:44.690
they can verify You know, they're looking for

00:21:44.690 --> 00:21:46.430
okay this sounds right and the sounds right and

00:21:46.430 --> 00:21:49.710
there's no way this person could know this So

00:21:49.710 --> 00:21:53.809
it must be spiritual Which is true, which is

00:21:53.809 --> 00:21:57.589
true. There there is spiritual aspect to it But

00:21:57.589 --> 00:22:01.309
people start to confuse who? What the spirit

00:22:01.309 --> 00:22:03.990
is behind it, right? Because once you get the

00:22:03.990 --> 00:22:05.630
information that you're like, okay There's no

00:22:05.630 --> 00:22:07.930
way any human could know that that's when your

00:22:07.930 --> 00:22:09.950
brain goes to okay. So this is definitely something

00:22:09.950 --> 00:22:12.599
spiritual and that's when people quickly buy

00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.759
into Yats the dead grandma or Yats the deity

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:20.240
or Yats the this they're like well because grandma

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:22.440
was there for that or this person was there for

00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:27.539
that but i'm telling y 'all right now that's

00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:30.799
not who it is because there is another option

00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:36.099
because there is someone prowling around looking

00:22:36.099 --> 00:22:40.509
for someone to devour and that is the devil and

00:22:40.509 --> 00:22:45.430
he has henchmen which are demons which are monitoring

00:22:45.430 --> 00:22:48.890
spirits and that is who you're getting fed information

00:22:48.890 --> 00:22:55.710
by and what they do is they will give you some

00:22:55.710 --> 00:23:01.250
truths like that and then they start sprinkling

00:23:01.250 --> 00:23:07.130
in the lies and the deception because the devil

00:23:07.130 --> 00:23:10.559
doesn't know your future The demons don't know

00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:15.700
your future Do they sometimes see See how things

00:23:15.700 --> 00:23:17.920
are aligning more than you can see because they're

00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:19.640
going around monitoring. They're whispering in

00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.220
different ears Sure, they can see things that

00:23:22.220 --> 00:23:24.740
you know are kind of being lined up But I want

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:26.900
to make this very clear that the devil is not

00:23:26.900 --> 00:23:29.819
all knowing he doesn't actually know your future

00:23:29.819 --> 00:23:32.880
He doesn't know your mind. He doesn't know your

00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.579
mind like God knows your mind Okay, so what he's

00:23:36.579 --> 00:23:39.599
doing is he's taking guesses He's making educated

00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:43.099
guesses. And he's also trying to get you to agree

00:23:43.099 --> 00:23:45.980
to things so that way he can move in that direction.

00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:48.240
That's why people, you might hear people in the

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.099
Christian community say, be careful what you

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:54.359
come into agreement with. You know, don't be

00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:56.910
saying, well, I'm just an addict. Stop saying,

00:23:57.130 --> 00:23:59.549
well, I'm just a fornicator. Well, I'm just to

00:23:59.549 --> 00:24:02.809
this. Well, I'm just to that. Stop making coming

00:24:02.809 --> 00:24:04.630
into agreement saying it's never going to get

00:24:04.630 --> 00:24:06.269
better. It's never going to change. It's never

00:24:06.269 --> 00:24:07.930
going to anything like that, because that is

00:24:07.930 --> 00:24:10.750
giving the devil more of a stronghold in your

00:24:10.750 --> 00:24:14.390
life. And what the devil loves to do in these

00:24:14.390 --> 00:24:17.910
readings is he likes to get you to come into

00:24:17.910 --> 00:24:20.250
agreement with things when he starts saying,

00:24:20.250 --> 00:24:23.240
oh, your spouse is going to cheat on you. You're

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:25.839
gonna lose your job You're gonna be addicted

00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.819
to this and you're gonna crash out and you're

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:30.680
gonna have to deal with this and do all this

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.380
The devil is trying to get you to just come into

00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:36.440
agreement and make it easier for him to have

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:41.759
access to your life So I'm telling y 'all right

00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:44.559
now that communicating with these spirits in

00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.470
general you don't want to be doing And tarot

00:24:48.470 --> 00:24:50.910
card oracle card mediumship that is just widely

00:24:50.910 --> 00:24:53.809
opening up the door For them to come in and commune

00:24:53.809 --> 00:24:56.150
and for you to start believing and buying into

00:24:56.150 --> 00:25:00.349
it and coming into agreement with it We already

00:25:00.349 --> 00:25:05.309
know That the devil's mission is to lie steal

00:25:05.309 --> 00:25:12.390
kill and destroy So, why do you even want to

00:25:12.390 --> 00:25:16.690
commune with that? Why do you even want to commune

00:25:16.690 --> 00:25:19.349
with that? And that's why I'm going back to y

00:25:19.349 --> 00:25:21.950
'all, like I said in the beginning of this podcast,

00:25:22.049 --> 00:25:27.049
if I had been biblically literate, if I had understood

00:25:27.049 --> 00:25:31.130
scripture and read scripture, if I would have

00:25:31.130 --> 00:25:34.210
prayed to the Lord for understanding, there's

00:25:34.210 --> 00:25:37.990
a very good chance I wouldn't have... I know

00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:40.970
God allowed it to happen for a reason, but there's

00:25:40.970 --> 00:25:42.789
a very good chance I wouldn't have fallen into

00:25:42.789 --> 00:25:45.700
New Age like I did. Because the enemy really

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:51.059
took advantage of my blind spots Of my blind

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:55.299
spots Because I fell into those things of oh

00:25:55.299 --> 00:25:58.859
well they know this information How else would

00:25:58.859 --> 00:26:01.440
they know this information it must be this it

00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:04.700
must be that not ever stopping to think maybe

00:26:04.700 --> 00:26:10.660
it's the devil I Honestly didn't realize that

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:14.099
Satan was as capable as he was. Now I don't want

00:26:14.099 --> 00:26:15.940
to give him more credit than he deserves, but

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:19.000
I think oftentimes we also dumb him down. And

00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.039
we aren't like he's not so capable of doing things.

00:26:21.460 --> 00:26:25.779
Satan can offer things too. We see that he was

00:26:25.779 --> 00:26:27.640
trying to offer a lot of things to Jesus when

00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:31.539
he was out tempting him in the desert. We see

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:35.220
nowadays, and I have seen it from my own personal

00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:40.769
experience. That the devil is willing to give

00:26:40.769 --> 00:26:46.029
you things in exchange for doing his work We

00:26:46.029 --> 00:26:49.230
see multiple people in Hollywood nowadays that

00:26:49.230 --> 00:26:52.690
have celebrity status that have maybe a lot of

00:26:52.690 --> 00:26:55.769
money or appear to have a lot of influence but

00:26:55.769 --> 00:26:57.569
they think if they're doing Christ -like things

00:26:57.569 --> 00:26:59.390
and there are some that will straight -up admit

00:26:59.390 --> 00:27:04.569
that they did demonic rituals But they don't

00:27:04.569 --> 00:27:09.829
answer to Jesus The devil can give you things

00:27:09.829 --> 00:27:14.750
too Now the thing is is if you have to send to

00:27:14.750 --> 00:27:16.890
get it You're gonna have to continue to send

00:27:16.890 --> 00:27:20.069
to keep it and the devil is always up in the

00:27:20.069 --> 00:27:23.569
price. He's always upping the ante He's not all

00:27:23.569 --> 00:27:26.089
loving. He's not all understanding. He doesn't

00:27:26.089 --> 00:27:28.069
want to see you have rest and all these things

00:27:28.069 --> 00:27:32.990
He wants to see you suffer and be in separation

00:27:32.990 --> 00:27:38.650
and have spiritual death The devil doesn't love

00:27:38.650 --> 00:27:42.730
you. He's not a heavenly father He's not all

00:27:42.730 --> 00:27:46.109
loving Like God is he will turn his back on you

00:27:46.109 --> 00:27:47.849
and point two seconds when you're not useful

00:27:47.849 --> 00:27:50.690
to him And even when you are useful to him, he's

00:27:50.690 --> 00:27:52.190
still gonna make you suffer because he doesn't

00:27:52.190 --> 00:27:58.670
love you He hates all of God's creations But

00:27:58.670 --> 00:28:02.069
in the tarot card community like in the tarot

00:28:02.069 --> 00:28:05.730
oracle new age witchcraft there's this messy

00:28:05.730 --> 00:28:09.349
idea of like Love and light or some people truly

00:28:09.349 --> 00:28:11.390
believe that they're just all good and all healing

00:28:11.390 --> 00:28:13.349
because they they're not trying to create suffering

00:28:13.349 --> 00:28:15.609
for people they just want to help and on the

00:28:15.609 --> 00:28:19.049
surface level sure and I used to identify as

00:28:19.049 --> 00:28:21.329
one of those people but again, I'm taking it

00:28:21.329 --> 00:28:23.470
back to the beginning y 'all if you are not connected

00:28:23.470 --> 00:28:29.150
to the source of light and All goodness what

00:28:29.150 --> 00:28:30.869
you're spreading is not light and all goodness

00:28:30.869 --> 00:28:32.950
because where are you leading people back to?

00:28:34.619 --> 00:28:36.440
That was what the Lord had to really lock in

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.799
with me where he's like, where are you leading

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.880
people to? And when I looked at I was like, wow,

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.460
I'm leading people back to myself I'm leading

00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:46.880
people to new age. I'm leading people to divination

00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:49.480
I'm leading people to all of these different

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:51.579
types of healing and shadow work things, but

00:28:51.579 --> 00:28:54.900
I am NOT leading them to Jesus and None of those

00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:56.660
other things are gonna get them eternal life

00:28:56.660 --> 00:28:58.539
with the Heavenly Father. None of those other

00:28:58.539 --> 00:29:00.779
things are gonna get them forgiven for their

00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:02.920
sins. None of those other things are going to

00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:06.079
give them the rest that God promises. None of

00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:07.579
these other things are going to give them the

00:29:07.579 --> 00:29:09.640
restoration or the redemption. They're temporary

00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:13.640
band -aids that actually create bigger holes

00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.680
because they push you further and further away

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:18.480
from Christ. The more you learn to put your faith

00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.400
in these things outside of Christ. Y 'all know

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.640
there are some people who don't, when they get

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:28.069
tarot card and oracle card readings, that don't

00:29:28.069 --> 00:29:29.950
believe that people are talking to spirits, but

00:29:29.950 --> 00:29:31.869
instead they believe that people are just tapping

00:29:31.869 --> 00:29:38.970
into their intuition. And I'll say right there,

00:29:39.190 --> 00:29:42.490
okay, you're not convincing people to put their

00:29:42.490 --> 00:29:45.190
faith in a spirit guide or something like that,

00:29:45.230 --> 00:29:47.210
but instead you're giving yourself the credit,

00:29:47.650 --> 00:29:50.730
and you're giving yourself the glory, and that

00:29:50.730 --> 00:29:54.109
is a sin. That is pride, that is ego, and you're

00:29:54.109 --> 00:29:57.420
still not pointing people back to the Lord. no

00:29:57.420 --> 00:30:00.079
matter how humble you think you're doing it.

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:08.640
Who gave you those gifts? Because every single

00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.579
one of us, y 'all, is born with spiritual gifts.

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:14.299
But what the devil loves to do is he loves to

00:30:14.299 --> 00:30:17.519
pervert them and use them in ways that God didn't

00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:19.900
intend for us to use them. I have seen so many

00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:22.240
people who are trying to leave the tarot reading

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:25.410
community, trying to leave. Oracle and trying

00:30:25.410 --> 00:30:27.589
to leave being psychic mediums and they're like

00:30:27.589 --> 00:30:29.930
but God gave me this gift like how do I use it

00:30:29.930 --> 00:30:34.109
now? And I'm telling you that Seek first the

00:30:34.109 --> 00:30:36.369
kingdom of heaven and God will show you how to

00:30:36.369 --> 00:30:38.930
use your gift But you are not meant to use it

00:30:38.930 --> 00:30:41.990
in a perverted manner tarot card reading is a

00:30:41.990 --> 00:30:47.410
perversion of discernment is a perversion of

00:30:47.410 --> 00:30:53.089
Prophetic gifts. So is Oracle card reading? And

00:30:53.089 --> 00:30:56.579
I believe But the devil happily perverted my

00:30:56.579 --> 00:30:59.920
spiritual gifts Because I also have a gift when

00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:02.440
it comes to communicating with people and when

00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:05.759
it comes to educating and just talking to people

00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:11.380
And although I felt like I was doing good and

00:31:11.380 --> 00:31:13.720
helping people this was the way that the devil

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:16.839
subtly perverted my gift was I started educating

00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:21.359
people and how to heal themselves I Started educate

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:24.289
through shadow work and through all this constant

00:31:24.289 --> 00:31:29.529
self -reflection I was teaching people and educating

00:31:29.529 --> 00:31:33.269
people about ways to solve their problems outside

00:31:33.269 --> 00:31:35.289
of the Lord and although I didn't feel like any

00:31:35.289 --> 00:31:36.849
of those things I was teaching people weren't

00:31:36.849 --> 00:31:38.569
unhealthy because I was like well I'm teaching

00:31:38.569 --> 00:31:40.829
them to reflect and I'm teaching them to be patient

00:31:40.829 --> 00:31:42.630
and I'm teaching them to do these things and

00:31:42.630 --> 00:31:44.349
it's like yeah but I wasn't leading them back

00:31:44.349 --> 00:31:47.230
to the main source which was the Heavenly Father

00:31:47.230 --> 00:31:54.079
I said this before y 'all that we don't go into

00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:57.720
sins and into temptations and into things like

00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:01.539
that because it's clearly a sin or because it's

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:03.940
clearly demonic or because it clearly is going

00:32:03.940 --> 00:32:06.519
to create separation. We go into it because it

00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:09.079
looks like the answer. The devil, we know this

00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:11.720
from reading scripture too. Satan masquerades

00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:15.119
as an angel of light, meaning he makes himself

00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:20.420
and his ideas and his ways look good and look

00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:24.819
light. and look harmless. And it's not until

00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:27.779
we're in deep that we start to realize how harmful

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:30.519
they are. Because I'll tell y 'all what tarot

00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.400
card reading did for me, too, is I didn't realize

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.299
how many demonic agreements I was coming into

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:39.440
until the Lord took me through deliverance sessions

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.559
when I was fasting. And when I tell y 'all the

00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:46.619
emotional trauma and the pain, I remember when

00:32:46.619 --> 00:32:50.079
I finally was moved back to my hometown and I

00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:53.960
started Going to church and y 'all know that

00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:56.420
now I attend my non -denominational church, which

00:32:56.420 --> 00:32:58.700
I love it with all my heart But when I came back

00:32:58.700 --> 00:33:00.480
I originally started going back to my Catholic

00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:03.299
church that grew up in and I remember going to

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:05.720
one of the priests and it was like for a confession

00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:07.920
anytime I stepped in that church I had so much

00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.319
anxiety and overwhelm and I was like shaking

00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:14.700
and I thought like I was gonna pass out and I

00:33:14.700 --> 00:33:17.339
Remember just doing that confession after I had

00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:20.029
that confession The priest had told me, he's

00:33:20.029 --> 00:33:21.549
like, look, I'm going to be honest with you.

00:33:21.569 --> 00:33:23.930
Like you need to prepare for some serious spiritual

00:33:23.930 --> 00:33:27.289
warfare. And I had already been facing some serious

00:33:27.289 --> 00:33:30.450
spiritual warfare, but I could tell it was ramping

00:33:30.450 --> 00:33:35.950
up. And he said, because whether or not you meant

00:33:35.950 --> 00:33:40.069
to be used by the devil, you have been very useful

00:33:40.069 --> 00:33:43.950
for him. You have been doing his work. You have

00:33:43.950 --> 00:33:47.230
been very useful for him. And he's not going

00:33:47.230 --> 00:33:50.740
to let you go easy. He is going to grab on to

00:33:50.740 --> 00:33:55.559
you with everything he has So like stay rooted

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:59.599
in the Lord and be prepared and I cried that

00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:04.819
entire mass like just silently cried and Man,

00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:07.680
I saw the warfare. The warfare was very crazy

00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:13.679
and I had I had not thought about it in that

00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.420
way because I knew y 'all when I left tarot and

00:34:16.420 --> 00:34:19.469
when I left Oracle card reading I had oracle

00:34:19.469 --> 00:34:22.909
cards too and I was actually trying to get into

00:34:22.909 --> 00:34:27.809
channeling and things like that. Just the mental

00:34:27.809 --> 00:34:29.989
and emotional battles, it was like all of a sudden

00:34:29.989 --> 00:34:33.070
I had random bouts of hopelessness and random

00:34:33.070 --> 00:34:36.409
bouts of depression and random like anxious thoughts

00:34:36.409 --> 00:34:38.630
and all of these things that were coming out

00:34:38.630 --> 00:34:42.170
of nowhere and it was just like a fight for my

00:34:42.170 --> 00:34:46.869
mind and a fight for my peace. When I threw away

00:34:46.869 --> 00:34:49.630
those tarot cards in the trash can, whoa, man,

00:34:49.710 --> 00:34:52.349
the spiritual warfare was crazy. When I stopped

00:34:52.349 --> 00:34:56.110
reading in general, it was crazy. When I started

00:34:56.110 --> 00:34:59.690
talking about it and sharing with other people

00:34:59.690 --> 00:35:02.230
that it is wrong, like don't participate in that,

00:35:02.809 --> 00:35:06.530
it was crazy. And you know, for the longest time

00:35:06.530 --> 00:35:09.210
I thought, well, the devil's mad, of course,

00:35:09.409 --> 00:35:11.849
that like, because I had always just thought

00:35:11.849 --> 00:35:15.349
like, Spiritual attack because now I'm on the

00:35:15.349 --> 00:35:18.269
other side like now like I'm being a foot soldier

00:35:18.269 --> 00:35:20.449
for the Lord and spraying goodness So the devil

00:35:20.449 --> 00:35:24.389
wants to stop that I had never thought Wow, I

00:35:24.389 --> 00:35:27.730
was very useful for the devil and he wants me

00:35:27.730 --> 00:35:31.429
back And of course if he can't have me he'd rather

00:35:31.429 --> 00:35:33.650
not have me whatsoever and it's not because he

00:35:33.650 --> 00:35:37.929
loves me or cares about me It was because I the

00:35:37.929 --> 00:35:40.369
devil was even able to trick me I didn't even

00:35:40.369 --> 00:35:42.780
know I was working for him Which meant that all

00:35:42.780 --> 00:35:45.179
these other people I was talking to, a lot of

00:35:45.179 --> 00:35:49.099
them, if they weren't biblically educated, if

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:51.440
they weren't having a relationship with the Lord

00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:56.019
and listening to their discernment, would have

00:35:56.019 --> 00:35:58.079
bought into the same lies I was buying into.

00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:01.840
I was the perfect salesman. And there are so

00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:05.000
many, that person who commented on my post the

00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.719
other day was a perfect salesman. Because she

00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:12.150
seemed very kind. and saying, well, this is just

00:36:12.150 --> 00:36:14.389
a puzzle for me and like all these different

00:36:14.389 --> 00:36:16.769
kinds of things. And I'm sure that explanation

00:36:16.769 --> 00:36:19.769
that she is peddled to other people has gotten

00:36:19.769 --> 00:36:22.510
other people curious and involved and wanting

00:36:22.510 --> 00:36:25.110
to buy tarot cards and wanting to buy readings.

00:36:25.429 --> 00:36:27.429
And there were multiple readers that I knew in

00:36:27.429 --> 00:36:30.010
the community that seemed very kind and loving

00:36:30.010 --> 00:36:32.130
and like, oh, I just want to help and I want

00:36:32.130 --> 00:36:34.849
all this. They are masquerading as angels of

00:36:34.849 --> 00:36:39.010
light. And they believe it just as I was masquerading

00:36:39.010 --> 00:36:46.230
as one and I believe it Intent doesn't actually

00:36:46.230 --> 00:36:51.150
equal goodness you can intend to be good But

00:36:51.150 --> 00:36:55.309
not be doing good If you don't actually know

00:36:55.309 --> 00:36:59.710
what goodness is That's why I am always gonna

00:36:59.710 --> 00:37:03.230
tell y 'all to read your Bible read the scriptures

00:37:03.230 --> 00:37:09.409
for yourself Don't just be listening to sermons

00:37:09.409 --> 00:37:13.530
Don't just be paying attention to the little

00:37:13.530 --> 00:37:15.389
devotionals that you get every day and reading

00:37:15.389 --> 00:37:18.570
those Don't just be watching the I love the chosen

00:37:18.570 --> 00:37:20.449
but don't make that your only source of biblical

00:37:20.449 --> 00:37:25.969
knowledge Read the scriptures for yourself pray

00:37:25.969 --> 00:37:32.190
to the Lord for a deeper understanding Because

00:37:32.190 --> 00:37:36.159
I'm telling y 'all that the deconstruction mentally

00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.579
that even comes with leaving New Age and leaving

00:37:39.579 --> 00:37:41.860
tarot cards and leaving all of that is crazy

00:37:41.860 --> 00:37:45.619
because there were some readings that I had gotten

00:37:45.619 --> 00:37:50.300
now it's been years ago that like after I gave

00:37:50.300 --> 00:37:52.280
my life to Christ I had realized I was still

00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.059
coming into agreement like there were some things

00:37:54.059 --> 00:37:56.280
I had received in tarot card readings I was still

00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:58.599
expecting to happen and the Lord really had to

00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:02.789
work on my heart of saying like that wasn't me

00:38:02.789 --> 00:38:05.550
that promised that wasn't God that promised that

00:38:05.550 --> 00:38:07.449
to me that wasn't Jesus that promised that to

00:38:07.449 --> 00:38:12.210
me that was demonic forces planting seeds I came

00:38:12.210 --> 00:38:14.829
into agreement with and I felt like and even

00:38:14.829 --> 00:38:17.150
those those things didn't feel negative or seem

00:38:17.150 --> 00:38:18.929
negative the word had to check me with why are

00:38:18.929 --> 00:38:21.550
you still expecting those things why are you

00:38:21.550 --> 00:38:23.929
still coming into agreement with those things

00:38:23.929 --> 00:38:27.269
y 'all I have found myself still at times having

00:38:27.269 --> 00:38:31.219
to break down mindsets and when we our walk with

00:38:31.219 --> 00:38:33.699
the Lord is for the rest of our lives and there

00:38:33.699 --> 00:38:35.639
is always something that we're able to heal there

00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.199
is always something that we're able to learn

00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:39.239
Lord has been taking me through sanctification

00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:41.500
and we're always going through a sanctification

00:38:41.500 --> 00:38:46.139
process we are never going to reach and like

00:38:46.139 --> 00:38:51.179
here on this earth perfection there's always

00:38:51.179 --> 00:38:56.639
something to learn to heal to grow and you know

00:38:56.639 --> 00:38:59.949
the mindsets the subtle mindsets like in new

00:38:59.949 --> 00:39:03.730
age spirituality where you're taught like um

00:39:03.730 --> 00:39:06.329
that you are the creator of your own reality

00:39:06.329 --> 00:39:08.489
that you can manifest good things to happen you

00:39:08.489 --> 00:39:10.929
can manifest bad things to happen and i've talked

00:39:10.929 --> 00:39:14.829
about before that new age spirituality is a lot

00:39:14.829 --> 00:39:18.369
of relative truths Because I found it was hard

00:39:18.369 --> 00:39:20.349
for me to explain your age spirituality when

00:39:20.349 --> 00:39:22.590
some of it sounds Christian But it's not Christian

00:39:22.590 --> 00:39:24.829
and they take from different religions There's

00:39:24.829 --> 00:39:26.369
someone who had never had any experience with

00:39:26.369 --> 00:39:28.389
that but loved the Lord that you know I've been

00:39:28.389 --> 00:39:30.329
friends with and I was telling them about new

00:39:30.329 --> 00:39:32.889
age and they did a little and how It's really

00:39:32.889 --> 00:39:35.130
deceptive and it's deceiving a lot of people

00:39:35.130 --> 00:39:36.829
There are a lot of people who even call themselves

00:39:36.829 --> 00:39:39.610
Christian but believe in new age ideas and new

00:39:39.610 --> 00:39:43.429
age practices that aren't Christ like that aren't

00:39:43.429 --> 00:39:46.760
from the Lord And she did a little bit of research,

00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:48.340
and when she got back to me, she was like, you

00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:51.099
know, I think the best way that I've found someone

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:53.300
to describe it is that they're relative truths,

00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:57.539
meaning they take a bit of truth, but then there's

00:39:57.539 --> 00:40:00.039
a twist on it, or they leave things out. Like

00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.179
with manifestation, they talk about what you

00:40:02.179 --> 00:40:05.119
speak or what you say is what your reality is,

00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:07.599
which can be kind of translated a bit over to

00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:09.960
the power of life and death lies in the tongue,

00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:13.739
right? But we leave out the part where... We

00:40:13.739 --> 00:40:17.539
leave out God's will. We leave that out completely.

00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:19.480
That's the thing with manifestation is it totally

00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:23.260
removes God. It totally removes asking you shall

00:40:23.260 --> 00:40:24.960
receive, knocking the door shall be opened. It

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.860
totally removes that God is the decider and it

00:40:28.860 --> 00:40:31.440
places all of the authority and the power in

00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:33.860
your hands. So it takes that little bit of truth

00:40:33.860 --> 00:40:37.880
that there is power in the tongue, but it places

00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.840
an unrealistic amount of power and authority

00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:45.480
in your hands and that's again why you need to

00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:47.679
be able to read scripture and be so biblically

00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:50.760
literate is you will believe that if you don't

00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:53.440
know the word of God and if you don't pray to

00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:55.800
the Lord for an understanding too because there

00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:57.639
are people who read the Bible but do not have

00:40:57.639 --> 00:40:59.699
eyes to see or ears to hear that don't have an

00:40:59.699 --> 00:41:03.639
open heart pray to the Lord for understanding

00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:07.329
and what you're reading y 'all But I find still

00:41:07.329 --> 00:41:10.190
that I have mindset shifts at times I have to

00:41:10.190 --> 00:41:13.590
make where something like bad will be happening.

00:41:13.929 --> 00:41:17.889
And I'll be like, what sin did I do to deserve

00:41:17.889 --> 00:41:21.090
this? What bad thought did I think? What bad

00:41:21.090 --> 00:41:23.949
thing did I say? And I was actually reminded

00:41:23.949 --> 00:41:28.250
of this today reading John chapter 9, where they

00:41:28.250 --> 00:41:30.969
say when they're asking Jesus, why did this man

00:41:30.969 --> 00:41:33.389
sin? What sin caused him to be blind? And Jesus

00:41:33.389 --> 00:41:36.159
was like, it wasn't a sin. that caused him to

00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:40.380
be blind, but it was God's will so that this

00:41:40.380 --> 00:41:44.719
may glorify the Lord. I am paraphrasing, but

00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.159
Jesus was saying this man isn't blind or suffering

00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:49.519
because of his sin or because he's a bad person

00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:52.320
or his parents are a bad person. He is suffering

00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.599
right now so that with God's glory may be shown

00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:58.039
through this man because Jesus then went on to

00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:01.760
heal this man. Where in the Bible up to that

00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:04.400
point it had never been recorded of a man being

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:07.179
born blind being healed So he was able to do

00:42:07.179 --> 00:42:11.980
this wild miracle because of the situation Jesus

00:42:11.980 --> 00:42:14.599
was saying this was actually a setup to glorify

00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:18.039
the Heavenly Father and I had I've had to remind

00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:20.019
myself of that time to time where it's like,

00:42:20.099 --> 00:42:23.159
okay Yes, what I'm dealing with in that moment

00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:26.590
might be a hardship or might be a suffering But

00:42:26.590 --> 00:42:30.590
why am I immediately attributing it to what did

00:42:30.590 --> 00:42:34.469
I do wrong? What negative thing did I say? What

00:42:34.469 --> 00:42:37.949
negative thing did I think? Why does my mind

00:42:37.949 --> 00:42:41.030
go there? And I have to remember that was because

00:42:41.030 --> 00:42:44.130
that was something that new age subtly ingrains

00:42:44.130 --> 00:42:51.230
in you. What's funny is new age appears to pedal

00:42:51.230 --> 00:42:54.090
the solution the answer of you are the answer

00:42:54.090 --> 00:42:57.010
You create your reality and you do this and you

00:42:57.010 --> 00:42:59.230
manifest this and you can tap into this and you

00:42:59.230 --> 00:43:02.969
can tap into that But that also means that anytime

00:43:02.969 --> 00:43:06.210
anything's bad. You are also the answer So it's

00:43:06.210 --> 00:43:08.090
like this is bad because of you. This is bad

00:43:08.090 --> 00:43:10.030
because of you. This is all your fault This is

00:43:10.030 --> 00:43:11.530
all your fault. You didn't do this, right? You

00:43:11.530 --> 00:43:13.050
need to get better at this. You need to get better

00:43:13.050 --> 00:43:18.880
at that It's a hamster wheel Glory be to God

00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:23.639
he saved me from that And I think back about

00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:30.219
like What was the temptation that got me into

00:43:30.219 --> 00:43:32.639
tarot card reading and I realized that y 'all

00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:36.559
I fell for the same temptation that Eve fell

00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:39.320
for and millions of people are falling into that

00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:41.400
same temptation and I cannot tell you how many

00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:45.780
times I have read You know the story of the beginning

00:43:45.780 --> 00:43:48.119
and thought how could he fall for that? How stupid

00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:50.199
and I know there's so many people think oh, she's

00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:52.360
so stupid Why would she believe that like she

00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:54.739
could bite in all these other apples? Or she

00:43:54.739 --> 00:43:56.420
can bite in all these other fruits, and she's

00:43:56.420 --> 00:43:58.059
tricked to eating that fruit There's so many

00:43:58.059 --> 00:43:59.559
people who are like I would never do it like

00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:01.800
Eve. I would never be like that. That's so stupid

00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:05.780
Y 'all I wasn't Eve and every tarot card reader

00:44:05.780 --> 00:44:08.599
every oracle card reader Every psychic, every

00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:10.300
person who's putting their faith in horoscopes,

00:44:10.460 --> 00:44:12.000
every person who's putting their faith in birth

00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:14.199
charts, every person who is seeking knowledge

00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:16.119
outside of the Lord is falling into that same

00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:19.420
temptation. Because at the root of what the devil

00:44:19.420 --> 00:44:22.199
presented Eve with is he said, if you bite into

00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:24.960
this fruit, your eyes will be like God. Your

00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:27.480
eyes will be open and you will be like God. You

00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:29.920
will have the knowledge of good and evil that

00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:32.519
God does. You will be able to decide. You will

00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:36.800
be able to plan. Because Eve had said, to the

00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:38.659
serpent, she was like, well, God said, if I bite

00:44:38.659 --> 00:44:41.380
into this, I'll die. And he's like, God's a liar.

00:44:41.500 --> 00:44:44.039
You won't die. Your eyes will be open. You'll

00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.480
be able to see everything like God. And what

00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:50.239
God meant was spiritual death. And that is what

00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:54.199
sin buys us. The wage of sin is death. So when

00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:57.800
I tell you all that, like separation between

00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.820
you and Christ, spiritual death is brought on

00:45:00.820 --> 00:45:03.000
by divination and by participating in sins. I'm

00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:04.500
not saying you're going to drop dead, but what

00:45:04.500 --> 00:45:07.000
I'm saying is If you are unrepentant, if you

00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:08.860
don't turn from this, if you are willfully living

00:45:08.860 --> 00:45:10.420
in this, you're not putting your faith in the

00:45:10.420 --> 00:45:16.920
Lord, then your wage for that sin is death. That

00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:19.119
is what the devil is trying to do. That's why

00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:21.900
he tempts you into divination. That's why he

00:45:21.900 --> 00:45:23.860
tempts you into these sins is because he knows

00:45:23.860 --> 00:45:26.800
that the wage of it with an unrepentant heart

00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:31.260
is death. And that's all he wants at the end

00:45:31.260 --> 00:45:32.780
of the day. He wants to bring as many people

00:45:32.780 --> 00:45:37.480
to spiritual death as he can. but when I got

00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:39.679
into tarot card reading y 'all what I ended up

00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:43.659
see like when I first started getting into it

00:45:43.659 --> 00:45:47.059
and started thinking oh there's something really

00:45:47.059 --> 00:45:49.300
to this I started seeing this as oh my gosh I

00:45:49.300 --> 00:45:51.739
don't have to wait anymore because I had been

00:45:51.739 --> 00:45:54.019
so angry for years where I felt like if only

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:56.280
I could like be a little fly on the wall and

00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:58.539
know what someone is thinking know what someone

00:45:58.539 --> 00:46:00.960
is really thinking, knowing what someone is planning,

00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:03.800
you know, knowing how I should handle this or

00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:05.139
knowing how I should handle that. I was like,

00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:07.539
if only I had some supernatural kind of source

00:46:07.539 --> 00:46:10.679
of information to get ahead, I wouldn't be screwed

00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:13.239
over as much. I'd be able to plan for this. Maybe

00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:14.980
I would get ahead in life. Maybe I'd be able

00:46:14.980 --> 00:46:17.500
to financially do this because I had felt like

00:46:17.500 --> 00:46:19.619
every time I took steps, like it seemed had to

00:46:19.619 --> 00:46:22.119
go wrong or like there was a misstep. And that's

00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:26.369
just I felt like if I had more information. Wouldn't

00:46:26.369 --> 00:46:29.130
have been in hurtful relationships hurtful friendships.

00:46:29.130 --> 00:46:30.750
I would have handled things better. I felt like

00:46:30.750 --> 00:46:35.010
that was what I needed in life And I've shared

00:46:35.010 --> 00:46:38.510
this in episodes before the devil loves To be

00:46:38.510 --> 00:46:41.369
the cause of your trauma to be the cause of your

00:46:41.369 --> 00:46:43.389
pain and present himself as a solution I've said

00:46:43.389 --> 00:46:45.809
this earlier in this episode that when we go

00:46:45.809 --> 00:46:47.429
in the sin, it's not because it looks big and

00:46:47.429 --> 00:46:50.110
bad it's because it looks defensible because

00:46:50.110 --> 00:46:54.179
it looks like our solution and voila I had a

00:46:54.179 --> 00:46:58.059
pain, trauma, hurt, past upset. I had a problem

00:46:58.059 --> 00:47:00.579
that needed a solution and I felt the solution

00:47:00.579 --> 00:47:05.239
was information. And the devil presented tarot

00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:11.900
cards. Knock yourself out. And that was me biting

00:47:11.900 --> 00:47:14.480
into the fruit when I started putting my, when

00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:17.219
I started entertaining that and putting my faith

00:47:17.219 --> 00:47:19.800
in that. And that was also me turning my back

00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:21.739
on the Lord, the first steps of me turning my

00:47:21.739 --> 00:47:23.159
back on the Lord, because instead of waiting

00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:26.079
on His information, instead of praying to Him,

00:47:26.699 --> 00:47:28.579
just as Eve had all these other trees to eat

00:47:28.579 --> 00:47:30.019
from in the garden, we have all these other ways

00:47:30.019 --> 00:47:33.579
that we can talk to God. We can read scripture,

00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:36.659
we're praying to Him, we can meditate on His

00:47:36.659 --> 00:47:39.500
Word, right? We can listen to worship music.

00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:41.340
Instead of all the different ways I could have

00:47:41.340 --> 00:47:43.000
been pursuing a relationship with the Lord, I

00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:45.599
could have tried to close doors. open doors on

00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:48.059
sin, I could've done all these other things.

00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:51.679
Instead of doing any of those Christ -like, holy

00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:54.960
things, I decided to take the tarot card way.

00:47:56.019 --> 00:47:59.199
I decided to bite into that tree, into the fruit

00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:02.760
from that tree. And where that led me was sin.

00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:05.460
And that's where it's leading every single other

00:48:05.460 --> 00:48:08.539
tarot card reader and oracle card reader. Whether

00:48:08.539 --> 00:48:10.280
or not they want to admit it, whether or not

00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:12.710
they see it themselves. because that's another

00:48:12.710 --> 00:48:14.570
thing now i'm thinking about i remember from

00:48:14.570 --> 00:48:15.989
that girl's comment the other night she said

00:48:15.989 --> 00:48:19.849
well that's your story and i'm sorry to break

00:48:19.849 --> 00:48:21.690
it to you i'm not sorry to break it to you guys

00:48:21.690 --> 00:48:24.710
that is everybody's story who is participating

00:48:24.710 --> 00:48:27.289
in horoscopes and tarot cards and divination

00:48:27.289 --> 00:48:29.550
and witchcraft and any of it is you are being

00:48:29.550 --> 00:48:33.130
separated from christ that is everybody's story

00:48:33.130 --> 00:48:36.610
now it may look different it might manifest different

00:48:36.610 --> 00:48:39.449
you might not see it i didn't see it until i

00:48:39.449 --> 00:48:42.239
gave my life to christ It wasn't until I gave

00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:44.519
my life to Christ and started pursuing Christ

00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:47.679
-like relationships and Christ -like behaviors

00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:50.800
that I realized how un -Christ -like I was in

00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:56.860
the past. I was still defending my actions and

00:48:56.860 --> 00:48:58.960
my thought processes when I gave up the tarot

00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:01.420
cards. I gave them up because I knew God called

00:49:01.420 --> 00:49:04.219
me not to do it and I realized that it was a

00:49:04.219 --> 00:49:07.000
sin, but I was still defending the sin. I still

00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:11.050
had like a struggle of how is this bad? over

00:49:11.050 --> 00:49:14.269
time when God started shifting my mind when he

00:49:14.269 --> 00:49:15.670
started revealing things to me and I started

00:49:15.670 --> 00:49:17.530
getting in his word and I started just living

00:49:17.530 --> 00:49:19.610
a life more pleasing towards the Lord I started

00:49:19.610 --> 00:49:22.989
seeing these things for myself and honestly all

00:49:22.989 --> 00:49:26.369
that was another reason why there are times when

00:49:26.369 --> 00:49:30.070
I will have open discussions I could just tell

00:49:30.070 --> 00:49:32.210
in reading that comment that was like there wasn't

00:49:32.210 --> 00:49:34.650
anywhere to get with this person you know because

00:49:34.650 --> 00:49:38.159
in their mind this isn't spiritual their mind

00:49:38.159 --> 00:49:40.579
they are not sinning and their mind there is

00:49:40.579 --> 00:49:42.880
no separation between them and Christ and their

00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:46.679
mind everything I said is like non -existent

00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:50.159
Mute to them. So anything I have to say in response

00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:53.340
is not going to make a difference do not cast

00:49:53.340 --> 00:49:57.179
my pearls before swine in the situation and Do

00:49:57.179 --> 00:50:00.400
not leave this for it to plant more lies and

00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:02.699
doubt for other people There are many times when

00:50:02.699 --> 00:50:04.980
I leave hateful comments up. And that was one

00:50:04.980 --> 00:50:06.400
of those times where it was like, I'm not going

00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:08.519
to leave it for anyone else to trip over, but

00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:12.699
I'm also not going to entertain it myself. Because

00:50:12.699 --> 00:50:14.579
there are so many people who believe that's not

00:50:14.579 --> 00:50:16.860
my story. Separation between me and Christ isn't

00:50:16.860 --> 00:50:19.420
my story. Separation between me and this. There

00:50:19.420 --> 00:50:21.079
are a lot of people in the new age who believe

00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:25.159
that you can pick. That was where my mind started

00:50:25.159 --> 00:50:27.019
going. I started thinking, well, maybe heaven

00:50:27.019 --> 00:50:29.980
and hell is only for people who believe in God

00:50:29.980 --> 00:50:33.079
and Jesus. maybe if i believe in these other

00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:34.699
deities or i believe in this other thing then

00:50:34.699 --> 00:50:37.400
i'll go to where the people who believe in this

00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:41.079
deity go or if i believe in the cosmic where

00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:44.239
aliens all go back to whatever alien source there

00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:46.119
are a lot of people in new age spirituality who

00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:49.039
believe that were other worldly beings sent here

00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:52.099
to awaken the world consciousness or something

00:50:52.099 --> 00:50:55.719
like that there's so many different sets of beliefs

00:50:55.719 --> 00:51:02.280
and um I don't care if I sound close -minded

00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:04.320
or not in saying this I know now through reading

00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:05.980
scripture and through the things I experienced

00:51:05.980 --> 00:51:13.159
that there is only heaven and hell And that Jesus

00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:16.860
is the way to heaven He is the salvation. He

00:51:16.860 --> 00:51:21.260
is the blood that pays our debt to get us in

00:51:21.260 --> 00:51:24.619
Putting our faith in him. He pays the debt that

00:51:24.619 --> 00:51:28.780
is currently blocking us out from heaven So without

00:51:28.780 --> 00:51:32.130
him good works, whatever, none of that alone

00:51:32.130 --> 00:51:37.349
is going to get you in. And I have an overwhelming

00:51:37.349 --> 00:51:40.050
gratitude that the Lord pulled me out of where

00:51:40.050 --> 00:51:42.070
I was at and opened my eyes so that way I could

00:51:42.070 --> 00:51:45.010
repent. Because I truly believe that if I would

00:51:45.010 --> 00:51:46.849
have died in my sin, like if I would have died

00:51:46.849 --> 00:51:49.550
when I was the one new age to your card reading,

00:51:49.630 --> 00:51:51.349
I don't believe I would have been in eternity

00:51:51.349 --> 00:51:53.329
with the Heavenly Father. I believe I would have

00:51:53.329 --> 00:52:00.139
been in hell. Yeah, you know there are so many

00:52:00.139 --> 00:52:01.880
people who right now believe that they are God's

00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:04.679
gift to earth While they're doing tarot cards

00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:06.719
and believe that they're not hurting anybody

00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:08.719
But if they're not like trying to like physically

00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:10.659
cause all these harm to these people that they're

00:52:10.659 --> 00:52:13.159
not hurting anybody Can I tell y 'all how much

00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:17.460
paranoia? Tarot cards create an oracle card readings

00:52:17.460 --> 00:52:22.079
and all of that create I Felt the need to drop

00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.860
that on here. It creates that is what sends you

00:52:24.860 --> 00:52:28.780
into a spiritual psychosis Like, we want to talk

00:52:28.780 --> 00:52:34.480
spiritual psychosis. It's that. When I look back

00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:37.000
at my time in tarot card and oracle card reading,

00:52:37.139 --> 00:52:39.420
although I was being kind to people, I was the

00:52:39.420 --> 00:52:43.500
most cynical and skeptical and untrusting that

00:52:43.500 --> 00:52:45.619
I had ever been in my life. I would want to check

00:52:45.619 --> 00:52:48.840
the cards on everything. Or if I would get a

00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:52.179
reading, readings were constantly coming across

00:52:52.179 --> 00:52:54.260
all my social media pages. That was constantly

00:52:54.260 --> 00:52:56.769
entertaining. where they're saying yeah there's

00:52:56.769 --> 00:52:58.650
someone plotting against you there's someone

00:52:58.650 --> 00:53:01.550
working evil you know there's going to be someone

00:53:01.550 --> 00:53:03.909
asking you this question don't answer don't do

00:53:03.909 --> 00:53:07.090
this don't do that where it's like a fear -mongering

00:53:07.090 --> 00:53:10.329
and it's like planting god didn't give us a spirit

00:53:10.329 --> 00:53:15.670
of fear and like i realized that that was the

00:53:15.670 --> 00:53:19.449
most fearful and anxious and looking over my

00:53:19.449 --> 00:53:22.409
shoulder and constantly skeptical of other people

00:53:22.409 --> 00:53:31.400
i ever was in my life tarot card reading oracle

00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:35.420
card reading is a breeding ground especially

00:53:35.420 --> 00:53:39.019
when you are taking everything as truth when

00:53:39.019 --> 00:53:44.000
it's not for anxiety and paranoia and doubt and

00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:46.000
deception and all of these things and i shared

00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:47.699
in the video i talked about the other day on

00:53:47.699 --> 00:53:50.539
tiktok that it took a while to repair my life

00:53:50.539 --> 00:53:55.099
and You know, people saying, well, that's your

00:53:55.099 --> 00:53:57.980
story. Now every person who has given their life

00:53:57.980 --> 00:54:01.639
to Christ, who came from new age, has to do some

00:54:01.639 --> 00:54:07.800
kind of repairing. Because new age rewires your

00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:12.400
brain just like a cult. A cultism rewires your

00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:19.460
brain. And you have to go through and deconstruct

00:54:19.460 --> 00:54:22.039
thought processes and things that you once believed

00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:24.599
to be as truth. And when you're putting your

00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:27.659
faith in divination and horoscopes and anything

00:54:27.659 --> 00:54:29.739
like that, there are people who only date partners

00:54:29.739 --> 00:54:34.019
based on what their sign is. I used to be one

00:54:34.019 --> 00:54:38.079
of those people. There are people who will read

00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:40.000
their horoscope and decide whether or not they

00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:42.679
go to that party, whether or not they go out

00:54:42.679 --> 00:54:44.300
to that event, whether or not they apply to that

00:54:44.300 --> 00:54:48.119
job. They'll take their zodiac sign traits and

00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:49.920
decide that these are the career paths for them

00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:51.539
These are the type of marriages. They should

00:54:51.539 --> 00:54:53.219
their friendships. They should get into a type

00:54:53.219 --> 00:54:57.460
of connections. They should get into They will

00:54:57.460 --> 00:55:00.699
there are people who are getting Psychic readings

00:55:00.699 --> 00:55:03.159
who are accepting psychic rings coming across

00:55:03.159 --> 00:55:05.079
their page or accepting tarot card readings and

00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:07.480
Oracle card readings and things like that and

00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:13.079
are literally making life decisions small big

00:55:13.289 --> 00:55:16.030
They're making mindset shifts, perspective shifts

00:55:16.030 --> 00:55:19.010
based off of these things that one day are going

00:55:19.010 --> 00:55:24.150
to have to be unpacked. There were certain ways

00:55:24.150 --> 00:55:28.570
that I handled fallouts. There are certain ways

00:55:28.570 --> 00:55:31.110
I handled situations. There are certain opportunities

00:55:31.110 --> 00:55:33.530
I turned down and certain opportunities I accepted

00:55:33.530 --> 00:55:37.650
just based off of what the cards said or what

00:55:37.650 --> 00:55:39.389
the horoscope said or anything like that, but

00:55:39.389 --> 00:55:42.969
later on. There were some of those decisions

00:55:42.969 --> 00:55:45.309
of the Lord. In following Him and seeking for

00:55:45.309 --> 00:55:47.170
the Kingdom of Heaven, He led me to have to go

00:55:47.170 --> 00:55:50.070
back and repair some of the damage from those

00:55:50.070 --> 00:55:52.710
and the ways I handled them. And that required

00:55:52.710 --> 00:55:56.170
a humble heart and acknowledging that I handled

00:55:56.170 --> 00:55:58.610
it incorrectly and that I was listening to the

00:55:58.610 --> 00:56:02.820
wrong voice. And that's what I mean when I said

00:56:02.820 --> 00:56:04.760
like there was so much repairing I had to do

00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:07.139
there really were Relationships that were negatively

00:56:07.139 --> 00:56:08.940
impacted. There were people that I was looking

00:56:08.940 --> 00:56:10.679
at in the bad light I should have never been

00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:12.780
looking at in the cynical negative life I was

00:56:12.780 --> 00:56:16.099
looking at the men but I was because the readings

00:56:16.099 --> 00:56:19.840
created a paranoia for me While also creating

00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:22.539
self -righteousness. There are a lot of people

00:56:22.539 --> 00:56:25.400
in new age dealing with the self -righteousness

00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:28.980
The light laugh love that think they're God's

00:56:28.980 --> 00:56:35.519
gift earth And I'm, you know, I could go on and

00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:38.480
on about how each person in new age, each person

00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:40.400
in witchcraft, each person, all those things

00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:42.619
is in it for a different reason. And I have met

00:56:42.619 --> 00:56:45.079
some people who just think that they are the

00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:46.780
most helpful people in the world. And I have

00:56:46.780 --> 00:56:49.739
met some people who are doing it to cause pain,

00:56:49.900 --> 00:56:52.039
hurt, suffering, damage, and have no moral code.

00:56:53.340 --> 00:56:56.179
I'm not saying that everybody in it is in it

00:56:56.179 --> 00:56:57.860
for some kindness. There are some people who

00:56:57.860 --> 00:57:01.420
are very, very famous on TikTok. Now we're part

00:57:01.420 --> 00:57:04.139
of the community I would see their videos and

00:57:04.139 --> 00:57:06.179
things on the daily basis that were very open

00:57:06.179 --> 00:57:08.420
and the harmful and hurtful things that they

00:57:08.420 --> 00:57:11.800
did actually had a big client base of people

00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:14.760
wanting them to do vengeful acts and vengeful

00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:18.280
services and Monitor and do all of these things

00:57:18.280 --> 00:57:26.730
And they gladly do it for money There's one that

00:57:26.730 --> 00:57:28.969
shared their testimony of how they were traumatized

00:57:28.969 --> 00:57:31.469
and hurt as a child and now they This is their

00:57:31.469 --> 00:57:33.369
form of empowerment and they use it to take it

00:57:33.369 --> 00:57:36.630
out on other people There's some people who are

00:57:36.630 --> 00:57:40.250
in it to cause harm and to cause damage. There's

00:57:40.250 --> 00:57:46.230
some people who do not Care about the morals

00:57:46.230 --> 00:57:50.690
Okay, so I'm not saying that it's all one group

00:57:50.690 --> 00:57:53.309
there I've met some people who are very opposite

00:57:53.309 --> 00:57:59.440
side of the spectrum I've met some people who

00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:01.480
don't actually believe in what they're doing,

00:58:01.579 --> 00:58:03.659
but are taking advantage of other people who

00:58:03.659 --> 00:58:08.960
do. There are all different kinds of people in

00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:11.960
there. Just like there are all different kinds

00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:14.260
of hurt people in church, there are hurt people

00:58:14.260 --> 00:58:17.460
in New Age spirituality. There are a lot of people

00:58:17.460 --> 00:58:19.780
who turn to New Age spirituality, who turn to

00:58:19.780 --> 00:58:21.559
witchcraft, who turn to tarot card reading, who

00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:23.380
turn to oracle card reading, because they see

00:58:23.380 --> 00:58:25.099
it as a source of empowerment and they see it

00:58:25.099 --> 00:58:27.409
as a source of healing. Now, some people go with

00:58:27.409 --> 00:58:29.289
it in a way of trying to help others and all

00:58:29.289 --> 00:58:31.289
that, and other people use it as a way to try

00:58:31.289 --> 00:58:33.150
to only help themselves. And some people use

00:58:33.150 --> 00:58:36.510
it as a way to try to destroy others. When you

00:58:36.510 --> 00:58:40.469
give power to people, everyone's going to go

00:58:40.469 --> 00:58:42.210
in a different direction of it. Now, I want to

00:58:42.210 --> 00:58:44.849
be very clear that whatever power you believe

00:58:44.849 --> 00:58:46.969
you're wielding or holding in New Age spirituality,

00:58:47.250 --> 00:58:49.230
in witchcraft, in any of that, is a false power.

00:58:49.409 --> 00:58:54.489
It's a false sense of security. People are gonna

00:58:54.489 --> 00:58:57.889
go in all different directions with it and I'll

00:58:57.889 --> 00:59:00.969
be the first to admit that when I thought I wielded

00:59:00.969 --> 00:59:04.610
that kind of power I I did things selfishly.

00:59:04.809 --> 00:59:07.230
I tried to do selfish things I tried to do things

00:59:07.230 --> 00:59:09.309
for myself and I thank God so many times that

00:59:09.309 --> 00:59:12.690
he didn't let me go in deeper than it was that

00:59:12.690 --> 00:59:16.409
there were some things that like When I was like

00:59:16.409 --> 00:59:18.469
that my gut was just telling me don't participate

00:59:18.469 --> 00:59:22.380
in this Don't follow down this road don't go

00:59:22.380 --> 00:59:24.059
in these footsteps don't do these things and

00:59:24.059 --> 00:59:26.460
glory be to God I listened to the discernment

00:59:26.460 --> 00:59:29.159
that I listened to those times when I felt like

00:59:29.159 --> 00:59:34.679
God was leading me and guiding me and as I've

00:59:34.679 --> 00:59:36.619
said in the beginning of this video like I wish

00:59:36.619 --> 00:59:39.059
I never went into tarot I wish I never went into

00:59:39.059 --> 00:59:42.519
new age but at the same time I don't think I

00:59:42.519 --> 00:59:45.400
would understand the other side I don't think

00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:48.199
I would understand the devil like I do now I

00:59:48.199 --> 00:59:50.099
don't think I would understand wickedness. I

00:59:50.099 --> 00:59:52.099
don't think I would understand deception. I don't

00:59:52.099 --> 00:59:54.719
think I would understand lies. I don't think

00:59:54.719 --> 00:59:58.199
I would understand the enemy like I do now if

00:59:58.199 --> 01:00:01.320
I hadn't experienced that. Reading and experiencing

01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:04.000
are very different. Hearing and experiencing

01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:07.360
are very different. And there is another level

01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:11.219
of empathizing I can do with the people who are

01:00:11.219 --> 01:00:14.820
not empathizing with the sin itself, but empathizing

01:00:14.820 --> 01:00:17.559
with the person that's participating in it. Because

01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:21.460
I understand firsthand what can cause you to

01:00:21.460 --> 01:00:25.059
put your faith in these things. I can empathize

01:00:25.059 --> 01:00:27.480
with there are so many people who are just looking

01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:31.579
for a voice and are looking for control, like

01:00:31.579 --> 01:00:33.599
a sense of control in their life and looking

01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:35.679
for all these things. And I know that the answer

01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:38.579
is Jesus Christ. And actually submitting and

01:00:38.579 --> 01:00:41.360
surrendering your control to him gives you a

01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:45.880
peace that surpasses all understanding. But if

01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:47.780
I hadn't experienced and gone through that I

01:00:47.780 --> 01:00:49.219
wouldn't be able to empathize with people like

01:00:49.219 --> 01:00:52.920
I do now I Wouldn't be able to understand the

01:00:52.920 --> 01:00:57.039
other side new age spirituality and all of that

01:00:57.039 --> 01:00:59.639
Gave me an understanding on spiritual warfare

01:00:59.639 --> 01:01:01.440
that I don't know if I would be able to have

01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:04.420
that perception or that perspective because I

01:01:04.420 --> 01:01:07.840
try to be very thoughtful with You know what

01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:09.699
I talk about I was going through during that

01:01:09.699 --> 01:01:12.900
time because sometimes y 'all I am still Unraveling

01:01:12.900 --> 01:01:15.659
there were so many deceptive voices at that time

01:01:15.659 --> 01:01:18.840
as I said that there there's so much lies and

01:01:18.840 --> 01:01:21.219
Deceit being planted when you're listening to

01:01:21.219 --> 01:01:23.039
Oracle card readings and tarot card readings

01:01:23.039 --> 01:01:25.820
and mediums and everything that there there was

01:01:25.820 --> 01:01:28.679
some serious warfare I was dealing with throughout

01:01:28.679 --> 01:01:31.599
that time period and attacks of the enemy and

01:01:31.599 --> 01:01:34.159
there are some that I know is like this was legit

01:01:34.159 --> 01:01:35.699
and then there are other things where I'm like

01:01:35.880 --> 01:01:38.480
Was that legit or was that a lie from the enemy?

01:01:38.639 --> 01:01:40.099
And I'll be the first to admit that there are

01:01:40.099 --> 01:01:43.619
some things that like will come to mind and God

01:01:43.619 --> 01:01:45.699
is still unraveling or picking some of those

01:01:45.699 --> 01:01:47.119
things apart where it was like, you know, this

01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:51.059
was a deception situation. This was a false belief

01:01:51.059 --> 01:01:53.739
and this was something legit. This was something

01:01:53.739 --> 01:01:57.679
real. Because as I said, New Age had me constantly

01:01:57.679 --> 01:02:04.159
paranoid. But I have also experienced You know

01:02:04.159 --> 01:02:07.079
one thing in the new age community is they all

01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:13.840
attack each other man Like I Tried to be very

01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:17.880
thoughtful of like not Being too social in it

01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:22.559
and not having like too many close friends in

01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:27.199
that But you would see very clearly it was called

01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:31.179
which talk would be overall that whole side and

01:02:31.179 --> 01:02:34.239
you would constantly see like practitioners and

01:02:34.239 --> 01:02:36.400
spiritualists talking about cursing each other

01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:39.000
and like exposing each other and doing all these

01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:41.199
things. Someone was constantly attacking someone

01:02:41.199 --> 01:02:44.030
else. trying to prove themselves by how much

01:02:44.030 --> 01:02:45.909
they could hurt someone else or make someone

01:02:45.909 --> 01:02:47.949
else suffer or make someone else feel bad. It

01:02:47.949 --> 01:02:49.670
seems like that was always the way that you could

01:02:49.670 --> 01:02:51.909
prove yourself in that community. It wasn't ever

01:02:51.909 --> 01:02:54.150
about fruits of the spirit of kindness, love,

01:02:54.570 --> 01:02:56.829
patience, peace, like self -control, all these

01:02:56.829 --> 01:02:58.849
things, but instead it was how quickly can you

01:02:58.849 --> 01:03:01.369
tear them down? How powerful are you? How can

01:03:01.369 --> 01:03:03.590
you execute your power over these other people?

01:03:04.460 --> 01:03:07.059
And I never gravitated towards that, I never

01:03:07.059 --> 01:03:09.940
wanted to be part of any of that. So I always

01:03:09.940 --> 01:03:12.960
really kept my distance, glory be to God. Bad

01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:16.480
company corrupts good morals. And although I

01:03:16.480 --> 01:03:19.280
didn't have the most amazing morals, obviously

01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:22.800
there were those things where I had felt a gossip

01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:26.179
conviction. I had felt a conviction about doing

01:03:26.179 --> 01:03:29.159
evil to do evil. So I knew to at least stay away

01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:31.820
from people who were proudly and openly doing

01:03:31.820 --> 01:03:36.820
that. But there were people who did not like

01:03:36.820 --> 01:03:39.460
my seeming to just be happy and positive all

01:03:39.460 --> 01:03:42.880
the time in that community That I do know went

01:03:42.880 --> 01:03:45.800
out of their way to make me suffer and I was

01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:48.500
dealing with spiritual warfare on that part You

01:03:48.500 --> 01:03:50.820
know because some people are being very willing

01:03:50.820 --> 01:03:52.820
vessels for the devil and that's the most I'll

01:03:52.820 --> 01:03:57.039
really say about that Where I experienced some

01:03:57.039 --> 01:04:00.039
truly demonic things from some people who did

01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:04.780
not care to side with wickedness and side openly

01:04:04.780 --> 01:04:09.159
with the devil. I don't know if I would have

01:04:09.159 --> 01:04:11.179
even believed that that was what I was experiencing

01:04:11.179 --> 01:04:13.699
or recognized that that was part of what I was

01:04:13.699 --> 01:04:17.739
experiencing if I had not gone through new age

01:04:17.739 --> 01:04:19.260
and gone through all of that. And I think it's

01:04:19.260 --> 01:04:22.300
very important to remind y 'all today to separate

01:04:22.300 --> 01:04:24.980
the spirit behind the person. This is a spiritual

01:04:24.980 --> 01:04:28.000
battle, not a battle of flesh and blood. So when

01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:30.769
I look at being attacked, These people are simply

01:04:30.769 --> 01:04:34.730
vessels. Satan is the main culprit. The devil

01:04:34.730 --> 01:04:37.909
is the main man. You know, this battle is not

01:04:37.909 --> 01:04:39.750
flesh and blood when I give a battle to the Lord.

01:04:40.570 --> 01:04:43.550
I'm letting the Lord fight the devil for me.

01:04:44.190 --> 01:04:46.909
So I just want to remind you all of that today.

01:04:47.769 --> 01:04:49.190
And that was something that the Lord heavily

01:04:49.190 --> 01:04:53.230
took me through was stop looking at the readers

01:04:53.230 --> 01:04:55.889
and the practitioners and all these people as

01:04:55.889 --> 01:04:58.170
the enemy and start looking at the spirit operating

01:04:58.170 --> 01:05:01.659
through them. And pray for these people and that

01:05:01.659 --> 01:05:04.900
was a tip that My priest at that time I give

01:05:04.900 --> 01:05:06.980
me because I remember like a week later I came

01:05:06.980 --> 01:05:09.119
to him crying and just saying the warfare is

01:05:09.119 --> 01:05:11.579
so bad and like I know that there are people

01:05:11.579 --> 01:05:15.679
spiritually attacking me and At risk of sounding

01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:18.000
crazy because to a lot of people I sound crazy

01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:20.579
I'm like, what do I do? Like I know that there

01:05:20.579 --> 01:05:22.519
are a lot of people who are willingly being vessels

01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:25.159
for the enemy I'm trying to send stuff my way.

01:05:25.179 --> 01:05:27.079
Like what do I do and the priest told me pray

01:05:27.079 --> 01:05:34.360
for them pray for them pray for them and the

01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:39.840
Lord after that took me on a really serious lesson

01:05:39.840 --> 01:05:43.340
of just really ingraining in me that you do not

01:05:43.340 --> 01:05:46.079
fight evil with evil and the way that you conquer

01:05:46.079 --> 01:05:48.920
the devil isn't matching him with more evil it's

01:05:48.920 --> 01:05:51.320
actually matching him with love and grace and

01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:54.900
mercy And the way that I did that was I was constantly

01:05:54.900 --> 01:05:56.739
praying for these people's salvation. In New

01:05:56.739 --> 01:05:58.820
Age spirituality and witchcraft and all that,

01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:01.500
you learn to do return to senders. Send them

01:06:01.500 --> 01:06:03.280
back the same negative thing that they're sending

01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:05.820
you. Send them back the same wickedness or evilness.

01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:09.579
And God showed me no. No, you pray for them.

01:06:10.039 --> 01:06:12.019
When you find out that they're wishing your downfall,

01:06:12.139 --> 01:06:13.679
they're wishing your death, they're wishing your

01:06:13.679 --> 01:06:16.980
destruction, pray that they see salvation. pray

01:06:16.980 --> 01:06:19.019
that they see healing pray that they stop doing

01:06:19.019 --> 01:06:21.000
this and give their lives to the lord pray that

01:06:21.000 --> 01:06:24.360
they are blessed and know jesus christ pray for

01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:26.900
them forgive them forgive them forgive them because

01:06:26.900 --> 01:06:29.719
the devil wants you to be an unforgiveness the

01:06:29.719 --> 01:06:32.820
devil wants you to be hateful if the devil can

01:06:32.820 --> 01:06:36.179
get you to be unforgiving and resentful he can

01:06:36.179 --> 01:06:38.639
get you to slowly start wishing death on other

01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:41.420
people he can get you to slowly start Trying

01:06:41.420 --> 01:06:43.820
to take vengeance into your own hands you give

01:06:43.820 --> 01:06:45.860
him a foothold and he will eventually turn that

01:06:45.860 --> 01:06:49.039
into a stronghold unforgiveness is an open door

01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:52.159
and the Lord really revealed to me when they

01:06:52.159 --> 01:06:56.260
are doing that pray and Forgive them and bless

01:06:56.260 --> 01:06:58.380
them. If you don't know them by name pray for

01:06:58.380 --> 01:07:02.980
anyone who wishes wickedness upon you Pray for

01:07:02.980 --> 01:07:09.219
them Pray that God works in their lives Now notice,

01:07:09.679 --> 01:07:12.900
I'm not saying that God instructed me to open

01:07:12.900 --> 01:07:14.820
doors for them and allow them into my life. He

01:07:14.820 --> 01:07:17.800
didn't say, be besties with them, give them all

01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:19.739
your information, fill them in on your day -to

01:07:19.739 --> 01:07:21.860
-day life, invite them out to dinner all the

01:07:21.860 --> 01:07:25.300
time, do all these things. No. I was very heavily

01:07:25.300 --> 01:07:29.639
instructed to keep my distance, but to pray for

01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:33.199
them and to forgive them. Because see, if someone

01:07:33.199 --> 01:07:37.230
is still a willing vessel at that time, You're

01:07:37.230 --> 01:07:39.690
not needing to give them close personal access

01:07:39.690 --> 01:07:44.269
But you do need to be loving You know the word

01:07:44.269 --> 01:07:46.110
guided me don't try to go out of your way and

01:07:46.110 --> 01:07:48.309
expose what's going on. Don't try to prove your

01:07:48.309 --> 01:07:50.510
point Don't try to do any of that. Let me handle

01:07:50.510 --> 01:07:53.989
it and pray for these people And sometimes when

01:07:53.989 --> 01:07:56.769
when God tells you to do that the turnaround

01:07:56.769 --> 01:08:00.550
is within days, but sometimes it's months Sometimes

01:08:00.550 --> 01:08:02.929
it's years. Sometimes it's a long time coming

01:08:02.929 --> 01:08:04.650
and that's why you have to put your faith in

01:08:04.650 --> 01:08:09.079
the Lord And that's another thing y 'all when

01:08:09.079 --> 01:08:11.079
I'm telling you I don't know if I would have

01:08:11.079 --> 01:08:14.639
experienced this amount of warfare if I hadn't

01:08:14.639 --> 01:08:19.560
opened up that door Because I was gonna face

01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:23.039
warfare point blank period Especially if I was

01:08:23.039 --> 01:08:24.560
giving my life to the Lord and trying to live

01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:27.439
a life pleasing to the Lord But when you start

01:08:27.439 --> 01:08:31.180
everyday communing with people who are doing

01:08:31.180 --> 01:08:34.619
new age witchcraft divination all of these things

01:08:35.260 --> 01:08:37.180
Summoning trying to summon spirits and doing

01:08:37.180 --> 01:08:40.420
all this stuff And that's a whole other level

01:08:40.420 --> 01:08:42.300
of doors that you're opening up that shouldn't

01:08:42.300 --> 01:08:46.979
have been open And as I said y 'all glory be

01:08:46.979 --> 01:08:48.920
to God he broke me free of all these things now

01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:51.779
to make my stance on it very clear I do not condone

01:08:51.779 --> 01:08:54.880
tarot card reading. I do not condone angel numbers.

01:08:55.079 --> 01:09:00.979
I do not condone Horoscopes psychic mediums oracle

01:09:00.979 --> 01:09:06.789
any kind of divination Pendulums Ouija boards

01:09:06.789 --> 01:09:09.689
trying to meditate and communicate with spirit

01:09:09.689 --> 01:09:13.449
guides in that way and I'm doing spirit guides

01:09:13.449 --> 01:09:17.529
and air quotes because those are demons I Do

01:09:17.529 --> 01:09:19.970
not condone any of this and all of these things

01:09:19.970 --> 01:09:22.029
are going to lead to separation between you and

01:09:22.029 --> 01:09:24.789
Christ and they are all sins I am saying though

01:09:24.789 --> 01:09:28.170
I Understand the pain that got you there and

01:09:28.170 --> 01:09:30.369
there is an answer and there is a way out in

01:09:30.369 --> 01:09:38.810
his name is Jesus Christ I'm telling you today

01:09:38.810 --> 01:09:42.210
to read your Bible to read scripture and to pray

01:09:42.210 --> 01:09:47.130
for an understanding and to allow the Lord To

01:09:47.130 --> 01:09:50.149
humble your heart and to soften your heart It

01:09:50.149 --> 01:09:53.729
takes humility to back down from that you all

01:09:53.729 --> 01:09:55.609
realize that at the point when I gave my life

01:09:55.609 --> 01:09:58.670
to Christ That was all my like I had tarot reading

01:09:58.670 --> 01:10:01.510
things everywhere. I had linked trees. I had

01:10:01.510 --> 01:10:04.569
Different social media pages. I had all of these

01:10:04.569 --> 01:10:08.220
different things I had thousands of videos up

01:10:08.220 --> 01:10:13.420
i had literal um lesson like where you could

01:10:13.420 --> 01:10:20.899
purchase lesson plan like and i had to delete

01:10:20.899 --> 01:10:24.520
every single one of those delete emails delete

01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:32.239
payment app like everything there are some people

01:10:32.239 --> 01:10:37.279
who would see that as too embarrassing Too shameful

01:10:37.279 --> 01:10:43.720
because that's admitting that you're wrong It

01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:47.420
took me days to clear out everything once I decided

01:10:47.420 --> 01:10:52.199
to do it It takes humility to turn around and

01:10:52.199 --> 01:10:55.020
go in the other direction and that wasn't humility

01:10:55.020 --> 01:10:58.579
that I just found myself gods off in my heart

01:10:58.579 --> 01:11:03.170
and I only fully deconstruct like started deconstructing

01:11:03.170 --> 01:11:06.270
in that way after real periods of just praying

01:11:06.270 --> 01:11:08.430
to the lord and seeking him with my whole heart

01:11:08.430 --> 01:11:10.689
and understanding that like my life wasn't the

01:11:10.689 --> 01:11:12.930
answer and i've shared this with y 'all many

01:11:12.930 --> 01:11:18.409
times over i had god turned me over to my reprobate

01:11:18.409 --> 01:11:22.409
mind my reprobate decisions meaning and what

01:11:22.409 --> 01:11:25.090
we can get in this would be a whole episode on

01:11:25.090 --> 01:11:30.130
its own meaning God gave me chance after chance

01:11:30.130 --> 01:11:32.770
after chance for years to turn to him and away

01:11:32.770 --> 01:11:35.750
from tarot cards and oracle cards and new age

01:11:35.750 --> 01:11:40.069
spirituality and God has a plan for my life and

01:11:40.069 --> 01:11:42.250
that plan was not going to be able to commence

01:11:42.250 --> 01:11:47.630
without like while I was still in that and glory

01:11:47.630 --> 01:11:52.000
be to God I I've learned Over the past couple

01:11:52.000 --> 01:11:54.260
months how covered in prayer actually was that

01:11:54.260 --> 01:11:55.859
there were people that were praying for me And

01:11:55.859 --> 01:11:58.659
I know that my grandma prayed for me so fervently

01:11:58.659 --> 01:12:02.239
before she died, but I truly believe that The

01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:04.819
prayer she prayed for me even though she was

01:12:04.819 --> 01:12:07.319
long dead. God was still holding true to those

01:12:07.319 --> 01:12:11.020
prayers So glory be to God I had people praying

01:12:11.020 --> 01:12:15.079
for me glory be to God I had Jesus was really

01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:17.539
after my heart. God was really after my heart

01:12:17.539 --> 01:12:23.329
and He gave me years to see the truth and to

01:12:23.329 --> 01:12:26.310
turn around. And because I didn't, he allowed

01:12:26.310 --> 01:12:29.069
the things that brought me comfort, new age,

01:12:29.430 --> 01:12:31.869
tarot, I've talked about substances, all these

01:12:31.869 --> 01:12:34.590
different things that I idolized and put above

01:12:34.590 --> 01:12:38.210
him. He allowed these things to kind of flip

01:12:38.210 --> 01:12:40.449
on me, where they no longer brought me comfort,

01:12:40.550 --> 01:12:42.609
they brought me destruction, they brought me

01:12:42.609 --> 01:12:44.510
pain, they brought me suffering, they brought

01:12:44.510 --> 01:12:47.090
me sadness. To where I looked around and said,

01:12:47.109 --> 01:12:49.840
I am so unhappy with my life. and i have tried

01:12:49.840 --> 01:12:52.180
it my way for 25 years and gotten to this point

01:12:52.180 --> 01:12:55.520
i need another way and when jesus presented himself

01:12:55.520 --> 01:12:57.279
to me as the way the truth of life i said okay

01:12:57.279 --> 01:13:02.180
let's try your way you know there's a really

01:13:02.180 --> 01:13:06.159
popular sound on tiktok from philip anthony mitchell

01:13:06.159 --> 01:13:09.819
who's a pastor in atlanta where he says if someone

01:13:09.819 --> 01:13:12.020
is unrepentant pray pray them into the hands

01:13:12.020 --> 01:13:14.619
of the devil we love you so much that we'd rather

01:13:14.619 --> 01:13:17.119
you see the consequence for your sin than to

01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:19.180
spend eternity separated from the heavenly father

01:13:19.180 --> 01:13:21.180
and there's so many people who are like i don't

01:13:21.180 --> 01:13:22.899
see where scripture says you pray them into the

01:13:22.899 --> 01:13:24.840
hands of the devil there may be people who give

01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:26.859
them scripture that says like pray that they

01:13:26.859 --> 01:13:30.920
see um just summarizing it um that they see the

01:13:30.920 --> 01:13:32.779
consequences for their sin that they may turn

01:13:32.779 --> 01:13:35.899
to the lord we see the entire book of jeremiah

01:13:35.899 --> 01:13:39.720
are people being turned over to the consequences

01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:42.640
of their sin their enemy being allowed to conquer

01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:45.659
over them who is our enemy the devil and he operates

01:13:45.659 --> 01:13:47.359
your people in the book of Jeremiah their enemy

01:13:47.359 --> 01:13:49.579
was the Babylonians being allowed to overtake

01:13:49.579 --> 01:13:52.239
them conquer them so that way they may humble

01:13:52.239 --> 01:13:54.199
themselves and see that God's way is better than

01:13:54.199 --> 01:14:01.859
their way in turn to him so it is very biblical

01:14:01.859 --> 01:14:04.279
there's a whole story in the book of Jeremiah

01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:06.220
and then we see the books after the rebuilding

01:14:06.220 --> 01:14:09.539
and that is what the Lord did in my life He allowed

01:14:09.539 --> 01:14:14.420
me to be turned over when I finally saw and Humbled

01:14:14.420 --> 01:14:17.380
myself. I accepted him as the way I submitted

01:14:17.380 --> 01:14:19.659
myself before them and then he started rebuilding

01:14:19.659 --> 01:14:26.460
me slowly That's why yeah when I pray for people

01:14:26.460 --> 01:14:30.939
I pray You know Lord get to them However, you

01:14:30.939 --> 01:14:33.399
need to get to them and we need to start praying

01:14:33.399 --> 01:14:36.659
that way more if you love someone and you want

01:14:36.659 --> 01:14:40.329
to see them repent You want to see them healed

01:14:40.329 --> 01:14:43.069
you want to see them give their lives to Christ

01:14:43.069 --> 01:14:47.270
start praying that they See the consequences

01:14:47.270 --> 01:14:49.649
start praying that God gets to them in whatever

01:14:49.649 --> 01:14:53.090
way possible if someone has an issue with being

01:14:53.090 --> 01:14:56.250
hateful and seeing everything negatively and

01:14:56.250 --> 01:14:58.930
Just they're full of hate and unforgiveness Start

01:14:58.930 --> 01:15:02.189
praying that they are have a forgiving heart

01:15:02.189 --> 01:15:05.350
and that God does that in whatever way mean be

01:15:05.350 --> 01:15:08.489
and surrender them to the Lord Oftentimes when

01:15:08.489 --> 01:15:11.050
he brings revelation and ideas and clarity to

01:15:11.050 --> 01:15:12.810
us it isn't through some walk in the park We

01:15:12.810 --> 01:15:15.149
have to go through trials and tribulations We

01:15:15.149 --> 01:15:17.310
go through periods of suffering to have revelation

01:15:17.310 --> 01:15:20.170
to have clarity to see that Jesus's way is better

01:15:20.170 --> 01:15:23.949
than our way So when you give someone to the

01:15:23.949 --> 01:15:26.449
Lord quit running in and rescuing them every

01:15:26.449 --> 01:15:28.109
five seconds someone needs to hear that too I

01:15:28.109 --> 01:15:30.569
know I needed to hear that I would pray that

01:15:30.569 --> 01:15:32.970
God Reveals something to someone and does a work

01:15:32.970 --> 01:15:34.729
in their life and he would allow a situation

01:15:34.729 --> 01:15:39.239
to be set up Where they would have to rely on

01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:41.319
him and turn them him and I would feel tempted

01:15:41.319 --> 01:15:43.739
to come in and try to Save the day and try to

01:15:43.739 --> 01:15:45.340
help them because I didn't want to see them suffer

01:15:45.340 --> 01:15:47.340
I didn't want to see them in pain and God would

01:15:47.340 --> 01:15:49.279
have to like it felt like a sticking hand out

01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:51.899
and say Are you gonna let me do my job or not?

01:15:54.020 --> 01:15:56.159
You might not want to see them suffer for a season

01:15:56.159 --> 01:15:59.020
But this suffering for the season is gonna pull

01:15:59.020 --> 01:16:01.720
them closer to me closer to the Heavenly Father

01:16:02.980 --> 01:16:04.960
Don't come in and intervene in the suffering

01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:07.920
and put their entire salvation at risk. Now,

01:16:07.939 --> 01:16:10.760
God will make a way no matter what I do. If God

01:16:10.760 --> 01:16:12.380
intends for this person to have salvation, they

01:16:12.380 --> 01:16:14.600
will have salvation. I'm just saying God really

01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:16.359
had to drill that enemy of stop getting in his

01:16:16.359 --> 01:16:17.880
way. When you pray for these people and turn

01:16:17.880 --> 01:16:20.199
them over, quit jumping in at the last minute.

01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:24.460
Quit bragging about it. Quit bragging about,

01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:27.119
well I prayed for this, I prayed for that. And

01:16:27.119 --> 01:16:29.979
that's a whole other topic we can have. But I

01:16:29.979 --> 01:16:32.619
wanted to share with y 'all today. And I know

01:16:32.619 --> 01:16:35.000
we're kind of branching out in different other

01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:37.220
areas. I've shared with y 'all how I got into

01:16:37.220 --> 01:16:40.859
new age and the lies I believe. And again, how

01:16:40.859 --> 01:16:44.739
not being biblically accurate, not having clear

01:16:44.739 --> 01:16:47.600
understandings, clear boundaries. Someone needs

01:16:47.600 --> 01:16:50.960
to hear that today. Thank you, Heavenly Father,

01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:53.060
for bringing me back to this because I talked

01:16:53.060 --> 01:16:57.239
about how I did not have clearly established

01:16:57.239 --> 01:17:00.399
and rooted views, so they were easily shifted

01:17:00.399 --> 01:17:03.949
and swayed. you know, since I wasn't biblically

01:17:03.949 --> 01:17:07.789
literate, meaning I didn't, I wasn't reading

01:17:07.789 --> 01:17:10.590
my Bible, and then I also wasn't really trying

01:17:10.590 --> 01:17:14.609
to understand at all what I was reading, the

01:17:14.609 --> 01:17:17.369
devil could easily twist things and bring up

01:17:17.369 --> 01:17:19.750
questions where I'm like, oh, the devil seems

01:17:19.750 --> 01:17:21.670
to, not knowing it was the devil, but New Age

01:17:21.670 --> 01:17:23.470
spirituality, these different things seem to

01:17:23.470 --> 01:17:26.649
have the answers that I felt like Christianity

01:17:26.649 --> 01:17:28.310
didn't give me, or the Bible didn't give me,

01:17:28.350 --> 01:17:32.210
or I couldn't explain well enough. So biblical

01:17:32.210 --> 01:17:35.289
literacy was a really big thing But this was

01:17:35.289 --> 01:17:36.909
one that the Lord has really been establishing

01:17:36.909 --> 01:17:39.810
me and me the past year is having set boundaries

01:17:39.810 --> 01:17:42.210
What are you gonna say yes to and what are you

01:17:42.210 --> 01:17:44.949
gonna say no to and stand on that? Because that

01:17:44.949 --> 01:17:46.810
was my real problem was I would have a boundary

01:17:46.810 --> 01:17:48.550
and say I don't like this. I'm not comfortable

01:17:48.550 --> 01:17:50.489
with this I don't want to do this, but I wouldn't

01:17:50.489 --> 01:17:52.689
be rooted and that boundary would somehow be

01:17:52.689 --> 01:17:54.960
able to be moved back especially I noticed when

01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:56.979
I was in tarot card reading I would say I don't

01:17:56.979 --> 01:17:59.119
want to do readings for this person and I don't

01:17:59.119 --> 01:18:00.659
want to do it on this thing I don't want to do

01:18:00.659 --> 01:18:02.460
it on this topic and then there would come a

01:18:02.460 --> 01:18:04.520
time where like I didn't have a lot of money

01:18:04.520 --> 01:18:07.239
and I was like really hoping that someone would

01:18:07.239 --> 01:18:10.079
request a reading soon so that way I could have

01:18:10.079 --> 01:18:12.840
some money and then a request would come in and

01:18:12.840 --> 01:18:15.380
it would be something that would be from a person

01:18:15.380 --> 01:18:18.100
I really didn't want to read for. It would be

01:18:18.100 --> 01:18:20.460
from a question that I normally really wouldn't

01:18:20.460 --> 01:18:22.640
want to get into or wouldn't want to do. but

01:18:22.640 --> 01:18:24.739
the temptation to have that money would be so

01:18:24.739 --> 01:18:26.979
strong that okay fine I'll compromise and I'll

01:18:26.979 --> 01:18:29.500
read on that fine I'll compromise and do this

01:18:29.500 --> 01:18:34.920
I did not have and that was just an example of

01:18:34.920 --> 01:18:37.720
in new age I that that was riddled all throughout

01:18:37.720 --> 01:18:40.079
my life a lack of boundaries and a lack of like

01:18:40.079 --> 01:18:41.840
being able to stand in my boundaries because

01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:45.680
I had such a people pleasing tendency and also

01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:50.079
I was lacking in areas And when I was lacking

01:18:50.079 --> 01:18:52.180
in those areas, when opportunity would come up,

01:18:52.239 --> 01:18:54.899
that would require me to overstep my boundaries,

01:18:55.079 --> 01:18:57.399
or moral things I established for myself, I would

01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:00.460
overstep them. And I've noticed, since I've given

01:19:00.460 --> 01:19:02.479
my life to Christ, and he's really instilled

01:19:02.479 --> 01:19:04.899
things in me, boundaries, and I put my faith

01:19:04.899 --> 01:19:08.560
in him, that, you know, when incidents like that

01:19:08.560 --> 01:19:11.619
have come up now, where temptation to say yes,

01:19:11.619 --> 01:19:14.539
and it appears to have a solution, I say no anyway.

01:19:15.360 --> 01:19:17.279
Because I know what God's Word says and I know

01:19:17.279 --> 01:19:19.319
what he has called me to do and lo and behold

01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:23.939
God ends up coming through So that was another

01:19:23.939 --> 01:19:26.399
thing was just a lack of like actual boundaries

01:19:26.399 --> 01:19:28.739
and lack of having like a root in those boundaries

01:19:28.739 --> 01:19:31.619
and lack of like a serious conviction And I think

01:19:31.619 --> 01:19:33.760
that can even stem to lack of fear of the Lord.

01:19:33.779 --> 01:19:36.340
I didn't have a true fear of the Lord Because

01:19:36.340 --> 01:19:39.359
if I really feared the Lord, I would obey his

01:19:39.359 --> 01:19:43.039
word All right, I was kind of playing on God's

01:19:43.039 --> 01:19:46.020
grace and his mercy for a very very long time

01:19:46.020 --> 01:19:50.180
So yeah, I I know that this is gonna be helpful

01:19:50.180 --> 01:19:52.800
for somebody to hear today of just this is how

01:19:52.800 --> 01:19:56.399
I personally Fell into new age. These were the

01:19:56.399 --> 01:19:57.960
temptations. These were the things that brought

01:19:57.960 --> 01:19:59.979
me in these are just some of the things that

01:19:59.979 --> 01:20:04.140
I learned and I experienced and I am here to

01:20:04.140 --> 01:20:06.859
tell you today that it is spiritual whether or

01:20:06.859 --> 01:20:08.779
not you are spiritual, whether or not you are

01:20:08.779 --> 01:20:10.539
religious, whether or not you believe in God,

01:20:10.600 --> 01:20:13.079
whether or not you think that the pendulum you're

01:20:13.079 --> 01:20:16.920
playing with, the cards you're laying out, the

01:20:16.920 --> 01:20:19.859
board you're messing with, the psychics you're

01:20:19.859 --> 01:20:22.640
going to, the birth charts you're looking at,

01:20:22.960 --> 01:20:25.380
the horoscopes you're reading, whether or not

01:20:25.380 --> 01:20:27.460
you believe that those are spiritual or that

01:20:27.460 --> 01:20:29.239
those are real or that you're opening up doors

01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:32.659
for the devil, you are. Newsflash, your ignorance

01:20:32.659 --> 01:20:36.539
doesn't equal protection. I have to say that.

01:20:36.979 --> 01:20:39.880
You not believing in it or acting like it doesn't

01:20:39.880 --> 01:20:43.699
exist doesn't make it not exist. But it does

01:20:43.699 --> 01:20:45.619
make it easier for you to be attacked. It does

01:20:45.619 --> 01:20:49.220
make it easier for you to be used. It does make

01:20:49.220 --> 01:20:51.640
it easier for you to get to because you're also

01:20:51.640 --> 01:20:53.859
now not taking the active steps for protection

01:20:53.859 --> 01:20:55.520
which is being covered in the blood of Jesus

01:20:55.520 --> 01:21:01.680
and in sin. Your decision to believe in hell

01:21:01.680 --> 01:21:04.180
or not, to believe in the devil or not, to believe

01:21:04.180 --> 01:21:06.140
in God or not, to believe it's spiritual or not

01:21:06.140 --> 01:21:08.119
does not determine whether or not the devil uses

01:21:08.119 --> 01:21:12.460
it to get to you anyway. Whether or not you believe

01:21:12.460 --> 01:21:17.800
in the truth does not negate the truth. And I

01:21:17.800 --> 01:21:20.020
want to pray for those of you listening today

01:21:20.020 --> 01:21:22.279
that if there are people here who are listening

01:21:22.279 --> 01:21:24.340
and that you do not believe I pray that the Lord

01:21:24.340 --> 01:21:30.979
reveals the truth to you. Dear God Heavenly Father,

01:21:31.020 --> 01:21:33.680
I pray for those listening to this podcast episode

01:21:33.680 --> 01:21:36.579
today I pray that they receive conviction and

01:21:36.579 --> 01:21:39.260
I pray that they encounter you Lord Jesus and

01:21:39.260 --> 01:21:42.560
I pray that they do see the spiritual impact

01:21:42.560 --> 01:21:46.479
I pray that they do see the impact not just New

01:21:46.479 --> 01:21:49.180
Age not just divination not just witchcraft Whatever

01:21:49.180 --> 01:21:51.819
sin you are trying to uncover and trying to reveal

01:21:51.819 --> 01:21:53.880
in their life right now Whatever open doors to

01:21:53.880 --> 01:21:55.760
the devil that they have in their life right

01:21:55.760 --> 01:21:58.760
now Heavenly Father I pray that you reveal those

01:21:58.760 --> 01:22:02.899
things to them, Lord Jesus. I pray that you shed

01:22:02.899 --> 01:22:05.960
a light and that that light cannot be ignored.

01:22:06.380 --> 01:22:08.579
I pray that the scabs fall off their eyes. I

01:22:08.579 --> 01:22:10.159
pray that they have eyes to see and they have

01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:12.979
ears to hear. And I pray that they have a true

01:22:12.979 --> 01:22:15.079
understanding of what you are revealing to them.

01:22:15.220 --> 01:22:16.939
And I pray, heavenly Father, that they feel the

01:22:16.939 --> 01:22:18.539
conviction, that they listen to the conviction.

01:22:18.579 --> 01:22:23.460
I pray that they do not feel condemnation, but

01:22:23.460 --> 01:22:26.609
instead that they turn to you. They see you as

01:22:26.609 --> 01:22:28.609
the way the truth the life and that they experience

01:22:28.609 --> 01:22:31.909
redemption and salvation That they flee the temptation

01:22:31.909 --> 01:22:34.170
that they flee the sin that they repent they

01:22:34.170 --> 01:22:36.869
close the open doors in Jesus name I pray Heavenly

01:22:36.869 --> 01:22:39.310
Father that they cannot deny what you are revealing

01:22:39.310 --> 01:22:42.250
