why I stopped using the law of attraction...from a christian perspective // from New Age to Jesus

- Hey y'allđ today's video is one you've been waiting for for a looong time and I'm finally posting it. It's a little different from what I normally post on my channel, but I really wanted to to bring awareness to what the law of attraction is truly rooted in and how deceiving it can be. In this video, I go into what the law of attraction and new age movement is as well as my own personal experience and why I no longer practice it. Please don't take this video the wrong way! I'm a bit nervous to post because I know this topic is a bit controversial, but I felt called to talk about the truth. Love you all and I hope you enjoy :)

I also know that not everyone shares my beliefs, and not everyone is a Christian, but please know that there is no judgement in my heart! A lot of us have different beliefs and thatâs ok, but I wanted to share my perspective and how it connects to my own faith. I believe the Bible is the word of God and should be taken seriously. Please donât get the wrong idea, I promise Iâm not trying to hate on anyone at all!
Honestly, we all get that, your radiate really kind energy but next time be more careful with the terms "from the enemy" and "from the Devil" and etc, but it KINDA sounds rude and lowkey feels like an attack to non-Christians. I get it that your intentions are pure and nice but please choose your words more carefully next time.
@@xandraster Thatâs what she believes, though... Sheâs been very careful with her words, but she canât conceal the truth.
@@cynthiag5110 exactly
@@xandraster if you dont like it you dont have to listen to it
I also agree that theres lots of vids on that about tik tok. Saying manifest. And make is seem so innocent.
I was JUST about to start law of attraction. My phone crashed and your video was in my home page. Wow oh wow.
Tell me, young lady.. How does one just start the LOA?
@@HappyHermitt you can-
You were brought to this video as a warning from God. It's your free will ...but I would STRONGLY advise NOT to turn to the occult. The key to unhappiness ...is selfishness ...Derek prince.
Hahahaha đ
@@HappyHermitt You find out about it and begin trying it. Thatâs how
yâall she did mention that sheâs not judging anyone who manifests. im not christian, so she is targeting her christian viewers or any viewers who want more info ab manifestation. if ur not christian, just swipe away from this vid. sheâs not making u watch this
Sheâs showing her experience with law of attraction but the truth is itâs deceiving and itâs not from God, itâs huge lie from the enemy and God wants us to have wisdom and discernment
No matter if your Christian or not , not to be rude but I'm trying to protect many people from that LOA is horrifying! I'm down for living the dream lifeâș but I don't support a way where it could get out of control and it makes you selfish! I have a couple of friends who used to do LOA but after a while it ruined their lives đ why? Because it makes you think your your own god and that's not okay. Also they couldn't control everything and it got to out of hand . For a while it made them depressed until they found Jesus.
@@otakuparadise3585 youâre thanking the universe and gods???
There is only one God! The universe, God created everything⊠what she is saying true!
Iâm not Christian, I just want to learn about another perspective.
@@cynthiaashton1225 respect other people's believes please
God is always good.. we donât need to "manifest" things.. we have His plan đ„°
True. Once you start playing God in your life you know that you are lost.
So why did he say to ask what we desire snd it shall be done. It seems Jesus knew about the law of attraction himself. Ask, believe and it shall be given to you. Sounds like LOA to me
@@brendabenitez7359 if you are living for God you are asking him to help you live out his purpose. To give you strength to live out his purpose. It is all according to his will. His purpose. Not that job you want or the car or that perfect boyfriend.
@@lillianbrusseau500 doesnât he put the desire in your heart? If thatâs the case then why did Jesus say to ask. Thatâs the thing about religion/Christianity that I donât understand. Thank God Jesus wasnât religious at all. On the contrary he was totally against it. He didnât go to synagogues to pray instead he went out into the wilderness by himself to pray to God. Ultimately God is in you and in all his creation hence the universe
@@lillianbrusseau500 that sounds like torture. What if your desire is to have children. Isnât that his purpose for us, he said to ask him and he will give it to you. We shall live life in abundance, Jesus said. I dropped Christianity and decided to follow Jesus instead and in fact he was against the religion and the church. They have managed to manipulate what you in fact read in the Bible. If Jesus had his 12 disciples then why is there only 4 gospel books that we get to read. Who made that choice? The church! Itâs a manipulation. Jesus was a mystic, he had oneness with God and so do we. God is in us and we have the power that he gave us to do these things. Jesus said to believe it is done and thatâs it. Once I started asking myself these questions and paying attention to how Jesus lived, showing love and helping others, being thankful for everything and living a sinless life, I began to see the beauty in life. We become happy. He is with us at all times and around us in nature. He is energy/an intelligent force/spirit that is everywhere. Jesus knew that! We have the power in our minds to heal ourselves and create our reality. Our biggest enemy is our mind and thatâs what we must control. We donât play God, we leave it in his hands, believe he heard our prayers and stay happy waiting for it to come, that is faith my friend!
Iâve been praying every day since February and that has done more for me and helps me more than law of attraction ever could. People need to start praying more. God will guide you to what he wants for you. đđ»âïž
God helps us definitely but he doesn't make us want something. its free will and at the end of the day its up to us to decide how we live our lives and how we should fit God into it. for instance, suppose i wanna be a rapper or something. God won't try to force being a middle school teacher on me if he knows im gonna be depressed doing that shit
@@caseyj7052 wrong! We donât just live life like we want and then try to FIT God into it. No, the lord say if we want a relationship with him, we must die to worldly things and LIVE FOR CHRIST JESUS, not for ourselves or how we want to. Thatâs being double minded.
@@aleayh well thatâs just too bad because i certainly donât believe that and iâm not doing that. that makes no sense. and like the girl in the vid said, thereâs no right or wrong, we all got our own fucking beliefs. conversation over, God bless.
Itâs all prayer.
Combine prayer with Jesus with the L of A while removing your darkness and shadow and you will be unlimited!!!
When I saw this video in my recommended, I was confused. I didnât know what the law of attraction was, new age, and didnât completely understand the definition of manifestation. After watching this video, I reset my mind and am so grateful to be with God and Jesus as they guide me. Thank you for uploading this very inspiring video! Thanking the Lord for how he has guided me in life!
God is within you and you are above all principalities. You are sitting next to the father, right by Jesus. You have power, he gave it to you! Thanks to Jesus we know about this. He said we will do far greater things than he did. Itâs all thanks to him.
my experience was very similar to yours, sophia! loved this video
What happened to you something happened to me as well
ME TOO
Thatâs what I thought when I watched her video and saw you said you did law of attraction
đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°đđđđđđ
@BOXER it is
Salaam sister Sophia. Just wanted to drop some appreciation to you for this video. There does not seem to be much content on CZcams in any way addressing the New Age practices like manifesting from any religious perspective and/or looking critically at the practice. As your muslim brother a lot of what you said resonated with things I have observed, the idea of it being like a prayer to oneself or a prayer without God. I liked your emphasis on focusing on Godâs will and surrendering to God, which is the definition of the word Islam. God bless! đ
you radiate âlove the sinner hate the sinâ energy
is that good or bad?
@@michaeljackson2928 good!
Yessss! You can love and accept people without loving and accepting what they do. Sophia does this well đ„°
my least favorite adage
It seems good and bad. God didnât ask us to love thy neighbor and hate their sin. He just asked us to love. Conviction from sin comes from the Holy Spirit. Making people aware that itâs a sin is okay but forcing them to change isnât our job. We are simply supposed to love them.
Was not expecting this video this morning but Iâm very excited for it! Thanks for talking about it Sophia đ„°â€ïž
such a good video!! I know this probably took a lot of strength and courage to upload, and Iâm proud of you for taking a stand and sharing your own experiences in a loving way! so glad I found your channel! keep being a light!đ
Wow. I'm a Christian but I've been so tempted to dabble into the LOA. Then this video popped up. Thank you so much for this sisâ€ïž I don't want to be selfish but filled with Chirst and his desires for me.
You have free will hun lol use it god didnt make any of us cosmic slaves what would be the point of getting judged if we didnt have free will independent from god ?
â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
@FIGHT Mark 11:24.
âTherefore I tell you, whatever you ask IN PRAYER, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.â loa isn't in prayer to God through Christ.
Jesus' words from the beginning would never contradict what He says today or in a million years to come. ask God and God will give you according to His riches in glory. He loves providing for His children and He always does it at the right time
@@amandaclaireon4065 just because we have free will, doesnât mean we can do itâŠ
Plz look at my comment
Iâm Christian and have never practiced the law of attraction cause Iâm lazy af and it seems like it would take too much energyđ
Same thing for me , I just can't even get my self to read worldly affirmations but I can claim Bible based affirmations so easily.
Not as much energy as praying to God to make something happen or feeling lost when you donât know how to fix something or know why things happen the way they do because âGod works in mysterious waysâ bs lol
Donât get me wrong, I believe in God but maybe not as much as I should. But thatâs the perception I get from this, is to just sit back and let God handle everything for you?
wow that was truly beautifully said! i didnât realize how much i truly need to hear and really grasp it, this meant so much!! thank you đ€đ€
Hi Sophia, thank you for sharing your story!! As Christians itâs often hard to confront the truth about evil powers in the world, and equally hard to provide the gospel as a clear answer out of it, especially to the public/on social media. You did both of those in a graceful and loving way and itâs so awesome how Jesus is using this part of your story to help others.đ
Something you said at the end reminded me of Jeremiah 20:9, where Jeremiah says âIf I say, âI will not mention him, or speak any more in his name,â there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot.â
Also Iâm reading screw tape letters rn and wow... I wish I read it sooner. Keep doing what youâre doing :)
Iâve been slowly leaning back into my faith after a long pause of believing but not actively participating or practicing and this video was such a nice thing to hear. I feel like the points you made are something Iâve been subconsciously thinking for awhile but wasnât sure if it was a personal thing or what. While Iâm not sure I personally agree with everything you said I completely understand your argument and itâs nice to take your thoughts into consideration as I continue on!
YASS Sophia thanks for this video! I truly hope this reaches a lot of people who need to see this. You really did SO well. Prepare for some backlash though.. But don't let that discourage you :) xxxx love from a fellow sister in Christ
You do not know how much you helped me. You brought me awareness. Thank you đ
as a 15 year old girl, I've been sucked into LOA and manifestation for over a year now. there were clear warning signs but at first, i chose to ignore them. i also had a period of research to see if this was biblical, and i too was deceived with the Bible quotes being used to back the person's claim. after several months, i got this video recommended just today and im so glad i did. it may be hard for me to stop at first, but i'll fight through it, for Jesus
you might have a misconception of the
what the law of attraction is..
i think what youâre trying to convey is that you donât want to intentionally serve the Ego..which results to the surrender to God.
yet, surrendering to God is still attracting that very thing..
wether u repel or embrace the law of attraction, the law is still at work.
itâs the only way our free will can have momentum to create the life our hearts desire. thatâs why no one can runaway from it. its embedded in the fabric of creation.
You are still young and God loves you! Search "Steven Bancarz law of attraction" he goes way in depth on how demonic LOA is, please ignore the previous persons reply to your comment, they want to derail you from the truth
It's literally not a sin
You know u manifest everyday? Without u consciously knowing? Itâs natural, donât try and let people tell you itâs not, itâs science
@@ilovbread38 HI SUB CREATOR đđ
The first thing I do after waking up is say my prayers. I'm not always perfect at this, but to me it's a way of showing the God comes first and that I am excited to talk to Him and get to know Him. This also applies well when going to bed or during the day when difficult situations arise and you need guidance.
Sophia, you are such a blessing from God and I just wanted to say how refreshing this video is
Please donât apologize for long videos, this information is so good and the more we can hear the better. This has been a blessing to me. Thank you
Thank u for talking about this! We have a really similar story of Godâs good deliverance from new age practices. I really appreciate u shedding light in this-youâre going great!
Pls share
this really opened my eyes, thank you for this.
iâve watched you since you were minilucie13 & seeing you grow bolder in your faith is amazing! so proud!
Same!!! Her videos are always so great i love her videos so much
Have a great day / night everyone đ
thank you so muchđđ
Thank you for sharing â€ïž This is so important & not a lot of college Christians have the courage to share and unveil the TRUTH. Love your page! Keep going :)
I was heavily into success, wealth, manifesting, LOA, tarot, crystals, yoga, mediation, and pendulums ! So this is amazing. I love the biblical affirmations !!!
So was I! Thankfully the Lord delivered me. My testimony is on my channel if ur interested
Still sounds like you are looking for a genie . Your relationship with God isnât about finding a Biblical spell that will grant your wishes. The Bible teaches humility not magical wishing spells.
@@bluwng Exactly. Also all the wrong reasons.
@@bluwng I go to church and I very much love God. Do you think its a sin if I ask him for a physical change? Nothing else, just physical change. And it is okay to manifest a physical change? Im just asking.
@@zdravokakosi146 you need to ask God, Iâm no one special. If what you ask is in line with what God wants chances are good it is OK.
i practice loa and manifestion but this video was still eye-opening and great to watch! you have great evidence and obviously put a ton of research behind this video! i loved hearing your perspective and your thoughts on this topic, love the video :)
How will you unlearn to direct your throughs ? I don't understand how I could.
Will God forgive me???
@@mar-pf3jh Of course God will forgive you, if you repent and confess of your sins. 1 John 1:9 *"9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* God is loving, kind and merciful, turn to Him! †God bless you!
didn't really know much about the law of attraction before but appreciate this video for educating me on it and giving such a solid biblical perspective! i'm seeing so many things about affirmations nowadays that are very self-focused, and i just really appreciate your focusing on Christ. and i loved hearing your testimony and glad you have grown to see the truth more and are being bold in your faith :)
affirming is not self focused. we are creations of god and putting ourselves on a pedestal means we are honoring the fact that we are a reflection of him. we are honoring the fact that we have been created by god to do amazing things. we are honoring what god put so much of his time into creating.god gave us the ability to manifest for a reason, that's why he gave prayer. prayer is a form of manifestation.
Jesus never put himself on a pedestal.
This is deeply unbiblical. Jesus said to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him. The first will be last and the last will be first. You do not have a Godly understanding of yourself and how sinful you are if you think you are worthy of being put on a pedestal. The only reason we have ANY value is because of the imago dei and who we are in Christ if we are truly saved. Study the Bible.
This whole video was exactly what I needed to hear. Iâve already been stepping away from from LOA for a while and growing closer to Christ but this just solidified everything now. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much, this really really helped me. I was so confused if I should do manifesting and if it was ok in Christianity. You literally saved me from manifesting and making that choice. God bless you!
Thereâs only one thing we can affirm boldly: that we are forgiven of our sins and have eternal life through Christ. Great video and testimony, Sophia! Been waiting for this video for quite some time and Iâm definitely impressed by how much youâve grown into your faith since last year!!
I didnât know about the loa movement, but itâs insane how new age and most ungodly practices crawl into our lives like seemingly harmless things. We should be extra careful to not be deceived, like you said, and be rooted in Godâs word
I agree! My preacher called it, âWarming yourself at the devilâs fire,â and pointed to the way Peter denied Jesus 3 times while standing in the courtyard
God bless you for being a LIGHT! Thank you for not hiding your lamp under a bush and delivering this word in boldness đ€ This was so amazing and I can tell your heart is pure delivering this message. Iâm praying this penetrates the darkness others are in with manifesting and new age! Praying the Lord rewards your and protects you for your obedience đ€
Amen đ
This video led me to being saved. I was pretty deep into new age but something didnât feel right. The blinders fell off after I watched this and a couple of testimonies. THANK YOU đđŒđ
Your video is one of the best Iâve seen so far in the topic of from new age to Jesus. I only started researching yesterday. Like you use quotations, I like how you give alternatives or the truth in the LOA in a Godly way (like when you have a vision ask God) , you are logical and you just overall explained it so well!
Well done on the no-judgment part.
Thank you so much
I just wanna say that I appreciate this video. I wanted to learn exactly WHAT the law of attraction was without opening myself up to something that could be potentially dangerous. Thank you for saving me time, confusion, and regret â€ïž God bless
So happy you did this! SO importantđ
ahh i needed to hear this!! I asked a question about the law of attraction and how the church views the practice at one of my discussions at my youth group last year, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get an answer from my youth minister due to lack of knowledge on loa. So so grateful for this because I've been having my doubts about loa for the past couple months. Thank you so much for clearing this up!
I loved this video! It was so well thought out and informative and light and refreshing, please make more. âșïžâšđ
You don't know how helpful this is, I almost tried to get into those kind of thing. You really open my eyes to the things I didn't see, Thank you!!
preach girl
I really appreciated this video. I was recently very hurt by the "new age culture," feeling gaslit and manipulated by it for not being "healed" enough (I have a lot of trauma and PTSD), and letting it lead me into some delusional thought-spirals, and similar to your experience, feeling extremely anxious about my own thoughts "attracting" bad things to myself. So, even though I'm not particularly religious myself and we don't have identical perspectives, it's refreshing to see people rejecting this new "culture" and calling out how it can harm us without us even realising it. And since so many of the more popular new age believers will use the Bible and Christ to gain the trust of their Christian followers who are tempted by LOA and "manifestation," I think having religious Christian perspectives like yours to challenge it is very important âĄ
This came at the right time đ€ I'm not Christian but I am always in awe when you talk about your religion, it makes me get closer to mine đ
Love this ! Also loving the scriptures you gave. Keep growing in Christ đ
Spent 20 years in LOA and God wins every time. I'm so glad Jesus called me back.
What exactly did it do for you? LOA did nothing for me, and neither did God.
@@richardfloridaman He has you just forgot what he's done for you already. God sent his son Jesus to die as the ultimate sacrifice so that the consequences of man's sin (Adam and Eve) could be forgiven upon true repentance. If you want to experience God find you an Apostolic church tell them you aren't a believer but want to see if you can feel the presence of God because a convert (me) recommended You seek the nearest Apostolic church out. Join their Bible study it's the closest thing to what Jesus taught and the apostles. LOA I attracted a trip to the Bahamas đ§đž and many other things but now I get way much more. 1 I got my true calling back from the enemy. I've said to much. Go do what I told you to do, you won't regret it.
@@boomingbubblebus1470 no. Iâm Jewish and Jesus was not his son.
i think saying affirmations are fine... itâs like youâre saying it to a friend, itâs encouraging and it helps people. manifesting includes being grateful and content with your current situation and you can still thank God for everything and remain faithful.
I live for me, and my friends & family!
Affirmations are not fine. When you do them with intention they are like magic tools. Affirmations are just thoughts but with intention to have a result they become sorcery
@habeshaa 815 if you write down your goals it's not law of attraction, it's just a reminder / motivational list. 90% of people does :) but if you start using techniques then it's loa and yes, it's demonic :/ (I used it to, don't worry I'm not a Christian crazy girl. but I stopped, fortunately.)
@habeshaa 815 I have the same doubt! I talk my goals into existence through Jesus and I believe that through Jesus it's not bad..
@@skankhunt42101 exactly
These are great observations. You are not the only one to be drawn in to this sort of thing. You've been given wisdom and discernment on this topic. Thank you for sharing your experiences and being open and transparent about them. God bless you!
I'm a Muslim and i agree with it. I've lived 2 years of my life in that shit but didn't know it was witchcraft.
I hope more religious people talk about that. Thank you so much! You were the one who made me realize it's witchcraft. I know the word in Arabic and know it's Haram but my silly mind never made the connection đ or perhaps i was so blinded by my desires that i stopped believing in my religion and started worshipping this or that method making it my idol. Note that my desires were against my religion and that was the first ever test i was put in from Allah. I was to choose between my religion and God (which I've had a strong connection to him and loved him so much) or my earthly desires by witchcraft. And poor me chose witchcraft over God. Still didn't get them and I also failed the test horribly but I was a teen back then, i was only 18 back then.
One thing to add to even make it worse, if my desired were permissible i would've gone 100% to God and prayed to make them mine through him. But at the first road cross i walked away from God. I think he did this to show that i wasn't a true believer as i thought i was. Thank you so much for your video, we're sisters in faith as we're both heavenly Abrahamic religions đđ
Its not witchcraft
So far as the bible is concerned mark 11:24. He declares things that are not as though they were and those things come to pass.
Islam is another religion completely founded by the devil. One of my best friends was a Muslim for 42 years. He found Jesus and is so very very free. Jesus loves you, died for you and overcame sin and death. He will set you free from all fear. The Bible is not twisted - it is verifiably truth. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. †much love to you
I see what you did theređ€đ«¶đŸâš
Law of Attraction is not witchcraft the Bible talks about it. Christian people think everything is witchcraft.
I am a muslim and i souly and geniuenly felt every word you said .
Thanks for bringing light to such topics .
Iâm a muslim too
SAME!
I remember reading the book "The secret" with a pre-conception of how great this book is and I remember just how confused, disappointed and overwhelmed I felt with endless questions concerning things that didn't sit well with me or my religious beliefs. But I kept telling myself you didn't get the message right, there's no way all these people with your religious background are wholeheartedly preaching the same exact book and the concept of the law of attraction as a whole. It wasn't until I had a talk with my mama that I released why this confusion makes sense, it's because it doesn't go hand in hand with our religion. Actually it could be entirely opposing our belief in destiny/Ù۶ۧۥ ÙÙۯ۱
Sameâïž
@@salmasamy1691 i read that book too!!
This is my first time of hearing about the man and his book. From the introduction I knew it was not from God even though it quoted Bible verses, then I skipped and read on and I saw more lies. Those scriptures quoted works if only a man sets his gaze upon the Lord Jesus Christ who died and gave himself for us. We celebrate him and he does it. We set our gaze on the Lord, we meditate on the Lord, we delight ourselves in him and he grants our hearts desires, actually when you you meditate on the Lord, forgetting your needs, not minding them our needs are met, he said first seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and every other thing will be added to us.
Matthew 6:24-34
[24]âNo one can be a slave of two masters; he will hate one and love the other; he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
[25]âThis is why I tell you not to be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn't life worth more than food? And isn't the body worth more than clothes?
[26]Look at the birds: they do not sow seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds?
[27]Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it?
[28]âAnd why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves.
[29]But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers.
[30]It is God who clothes the wild grass - grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burnt up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? How little faith you have!
[31]âSo do not start worrying: âWhere will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?â
[32](These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.
[33]Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.
[34]So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
thank you so much for this video! gave me so many insights and realisations
I love your passion and honesty and courage! Blessings to you dear!
I manifested a lot of money while doing LOA, but after that I've been dreaming dead people choking me and staring at me. I woke up catching my breath, scared and played a Christian song right away. My mother also got sick, she almost died. I stopped LOA since then. I knew some evil spirit gave me the money I manifested, not God.
@@Tania-rg7jp right
@@Tania-rg7jp Exactly. Peoples interest in it is for selfishness and greed. Not for pure spiritual enlightenment and knowledge, as it should be. They're confused upon their own beliefs and are not on the proper spiritual level to attain or even understand it. Until they recognize the divine within themselves, it will be nothing more than a trend or hobby.
Yes đ
Can u share more experience?
@@hustlingtoberich
the law of attraction is worshiping the devil, this life is temporary, for us to have an eternal life we need to belive in jesus, if you believe in the law of attraction you are a follower of satan , yes satan can give you money and help you become rich if thats what you want, you can communicate with satan and his angels, and yes you will get evil dreams and start seeing things you dont want to see, because its all from the devil.
I came across your page and was really impressed with you encouragement. The world needs young people to share Jesus with. Keep up the good work!
Wow. Just wow. This might be my favorite video of yours and I couldn't thank you enough for opening my eyes to something I never realized could make me fall further from Jesus. After watching your experience with LOA and your relationship with God, somehow I feel like this is a sign for me to also start working in my own relationship with Him. It's been a while since I've been feeling this emptiness in my heart and it now makes total sense why I've been treating every day just like any other day, with no purpose, no meaning. Thank you for these words, Sophia. You are so loved and I'm sure God is glad to know you're spreading His word and bringing faith and hope once again to this world that is in pain đ€
We just came across your video and so happy to hear this! We too came out of new age/law of attraction. Jesus opened our eyes to truth and like you so grateful He did. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for posting this. You are absolutely being a vessel for His Glory. Continue posting His truth and never apologize for the length at which you speak. Your sincerity is very apparent and it's very refreshing. I firmly believe our Father lead me to this video so don't doubt that it has touched someone. Keep moving forward in His strength and truth!
YES sophia! Keep making faith vids!! This world needs to know this! I know some people who use the law of attraction and lets pray that they repent from that! God is speaking to people through you! I have been tempted to manifest but prayer is stronger !
I am a firm believer that God himself gave you this word! Thanks so much for having the boldness to share, I will be praying for you Sophia now that this is out the devil will come for you. New subscriber for ever!
@Elana Yes pls keep praying for her
im crying. thank you for making this. Your vulnerability is so beautiful.
Thank you! Iâve been so isolated since covid and had to move in the middle and have been isolated even more knowing nobody. I started connecting with a girl i met from a class and have been meeting all kinds of LOA and even see strong believering young adults from my past who are practicing LOA and itâs just refreshing to hear your story. I believe firmly that the rain falls on the just and the unjust and that God is in control regardless. I felt like you were my friend just talking to me about your experience and am encouraged in my heart to know that Iâm not alone when the whole world seems to be sliding down this path all around me. Keep the faith sister! Stay grounded in His love, mercy and truth!
Sophia! This video is amazing. I love your raw honesty and vulnerability. Youâre a rockstar!
Well done, wise video. Iâm 42 and I got very into the LOA scene for a few years at age 27, but found my way back to my loving father who is Lord of all and Lord of my life now. Every gift we have and every good thing is from him, all glory to him. đ Ask, believe, receive, through Jesus and he promises to answer us. đđŒ
Wow thank you for sharing.
As a Christian I kinda get caught up sometimes with zodiac signs. I'm honestly not in depth but I always ask pple what month are you, trying to figure out their signs and how they are personality wise. I'm going to look for that book you suggested. Thank you for sharing your experience and thank God you weren't deeply rooted to the point where things got worst. God is amazingđ
I am definitely not a Christian and disagreed with the title heavily, however I still watched the whole video and appreciated how passionate you are. Thanks for sharing I always love learning new perspectives. Peace and Love
It is perfectly good to sound cheesy for the Lord. He will appreciate that you publicly stood and spoke His truth. Especially as a young person, many of whom are impressionable. Keep standing and speaking up for the Lord, he sees your courage. This coming from someone older than you. God bless.
This was right on time. Iâve been trying to grow closer to Jesus. Even manifesting it. Just yesterday I heard of Neville Godard yesterday and actually fell asleep last night listening to a meditation of his. I felt like âhmm maybe this is from God since itâs backed in scriptureâ. Then BOOM đ„ woke up and saw this. God always lead and directs. Iâm so thankful for discernment and his guidance. God will always lead you where youâre meant to be. So very thankful for this videođ€
It not god it's your own fear based unconscious mind, because it follows a habit. If you want to wallow in misery then it's on u! Neville is the way to go! The kingdom of heaven is within you, he who knows himself shall find it that is the whole verse which is taken from the Egyptian book of the dead which predates the gospels by thousands of years ...
Goddard is new age satanic rehashed
@@rickspalding3047 Christ insanity is satanic eat my flesh drunk my blood, I came not to bring peace, but a sword. Goddard teaches the truth that the people who knew it got tortured,burned,drowned and killed for, especially the gnostics, leaving only fear of hell, which was added in the fifth century only, until them reincarnation was taught like in all other belief systems.
@@vonburen888 I donât want to agree, but pretty sure what you say is true
It was simply the CZcams algorithm đ
This is such an amazing video! It really gets me thinking about this because I'm at the fine line between these topics. Wishing you the best and thanks again!
Happy Easter! Alleluia for He is risen! (and we actually got to go to church this year :")
I've been sitting here reading the comments for way too long already so I'm just gonna leave my thoughts here before I write another lengthy reply to someone's comment.
I'm so glad you finally made this video and I'm so glad to see how much research and preparation you put into it. Of course I've heard of loa and manifestations, but i could kind of tell from the get go that it kind of just delivers the message "believe in yourself and you'll get everything you want" which is NOT TRUE. I'm definitely not saying people shouldn't believe in themselves, but that alone is not enough. After hearing you explain it more in depth in this video, I definitely found problem with the "think good thoughts and good things will come to you" and vise versa mind set. Again, I'm not knocking optimism or positivity. Rather, I found it sounded like victim blaming. How awful it would be for someone to go through a traumatic experience or to deal with depression and think "this is my fault; I deserve this." It's an incredibly harmful and counterproductive mindset. I also get worried when I see some people's financial manifestations. I'll see manifestations/affirmations like "I have all the money I need to do what I want" and sometimes that is just not the case, so it may end up doing more harm than good, especially if that mindset is used to justify nonessential leisure spending.
I'm really sorry you found yourself drawn into this in a way that became so harmful to you, but I'm glad you were able to find your way out and towards a more Christ centered mindset. And that's really what we should all do; not put our goals and ourselves first, but instead God and His will for us. We should desire to desire what God wills for us. It's not easy and it's a long process that may be as long as our life on earth, but God doesn't ask us to be perfect. He knows that's unfair to expect of us. He just asks us to try and to be His .
Thanks for your bravery to talk on this subject! In a world with an anything goes mindset, people don't like to hear, that some ways are not the way to go. God bless and happy Easter, Sophia!
SO good Sophia!! proud of you for being bold and stepping out in your faith this way!
God Bless you sister!! As a man I thank you for speaking on this! You are a TRUE inspiration to women of our generation unlike some of the famed social media icons
I thank you đ very much sis for shedding a light on this, it really made sense in so many ways, thank you and God bless you
I needed to know this! Omg ty Sophia!
When I heard that "manifestation" is on trend these days i honestly felt good about it (besides of course the things stated on the video that was not of the Bible). For me, I've been manifesting goodness through God's power and at hindsight I thought that other people's way of manifestation is just a way for them to discover God in their own lense. I'm glad that manifesting helps them find peace and brings joy to them day to day, but I hope that one day they will be able to accept that God is the name of the universe they cling to, and that He could provide them with so much more love and assurance than our own minds and intentions are able to grasp.
Plus law of attraction doesn't make you you enhanced, it makes you trust in the wrong thing.
You are so right, itâs like my mind was hijacked with the New Age practices!!
Thank you soooo much this is just what I needed!!! God bless you!!
The law of attraction & manifesting destroyed me. I went into a downward spiral trying to âmanifestâ my ex for almost a year & Nothing happened! I was told I was doing something wrong and thatâs why.. it tormented my thoughts. Iâm so thankful God woke me up & showed me the truth!
Thank you for speaking on this!
Stay strong, my friend!!
I hope you're happy rn!:)
Idk if itâs the law of attraction that destroyed youâŠyou spending a year manifesting your ex is simply an unhealthy behaviour/mindsetâŠTHAT is likely what affected you
You were doing it wrong lol. It shouldnât feel tormentingâŠall you had to do is know you had him now and relax
Amen
Manifesting someone is never going to work, it was you that was the problem not the manifestation.
My parents said this too the other day. And I'm more open to the fact that it's not good for my spiritual growth because we should only believe on Jesus. But when I was younger I used to believe to those things too. So I'm not putting hate on anyone. I totally respect your belief.
Jesus would happily approve the law of attraction in it's true nature. Not for greed and selfishness, which most believe it's about. It's the people pushing it and using it for those reasons that gives it a bad name.
just finished this video and wow. you just taught me so so SOO much i didnât know. thank u for this video. truly. this is such an important topic & you truly are just such a bright light for Jesus. i love you so much and itâs so good to be reminded of Godâs graces
Thank you so much for making this video đđđŒ
Thank you for this video. I was just about to start manifesting and this video has opened my thoughts.While I was watching your video a verse popped up from the bible app that I use "Prayer is an honest conversation with God." I will continue to trust in Gods plan and put God first in everything â„ïž
this is now one of my fav videos ever!! you are so kind and gentle, and really spoke truth during this!! love you even more now :)
I love Ally Yarid and you!!! You explained this extremely well and I have a better understanding of what manifestation is now! Thank you for this!!
Very well done! The first video I've seen from this author and was very impressed with the clarity and cognizance that she possesses. This video is so needed in this day and time when there is so much confusion and deception everywhere. Good job! Looks like being a teacher and a leader are one of your many gifts from the Lord.
Love your boldness girl đđ keep making these vids!
I saw the title and immediately had to like as a sister in Christ. Love that you're being bold enough to speak on this using your platform
This is so interesting to me and I really appreciate you sharing your story. It's interesting that your experience was "If something went wrong I felt like it was my fault" when practicing LOA because of your thoughts. For me, I've had those same anxieties but in relation to my prayer life. "Someone got hurt. Someone didn't heal. Nothing changed, so my faith must not be strong enough. I must not be praying hard enough. I must not believe enough." So same anxieties, but stemming from two different and (from your assertion here) opposing practices. For me, there is a super fine line between the magical and the miraculous. For example: tarot is inherently evil, even as a reflection practice - a certain card showing up at a specific time that causes me to reflect is bad. But when a specific song comes on the radio at "just the right time" it's God speaking. Or how grounding in crystals is inherently nonsensical but rosaries, prayer beads, and prayer blankets - mundane items imbued with some kind of power because of prayer - is from the Holy Spirit. I was raised Christian and I consider myself a Christ follower, but you said yourself that most people were using LOA for kindness, and some for bad. I think you can say the same of any practice. Scripture has been used to justify the slaughter and oppression of millions as well as free millions of others. In my experience, it's less about the practice itself and more about the person practicing it. But again, thank you for sharing your story! I'm on mine and I'm glad to have your perspective on this topic.
This is the answer!!!! This!! You brought robust points!!
Thank you for making this video Sophia, it was very helpful. I have a lot of similar experiences as you. I got involved with loa through the Word of Faith movement, some really false teachings disguised as "Christian." For years it all seemed great but it ended up absolutely destroying my life in the most painful way. Loa and manifesting is not what people think it is, its literally dealing with demons. Everything I ever got from it was false, evil, and destructive in the end. Super glad you made it out and are sharing your testimony for Christ now, people need to hear! đ
thank you so much for sharing this good truth and shedding light on this topic!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video so much!
Love and respect for you girl for your testimony â€ïž Thank you
Love this! Love you sis â€ïžđ I am in total agreement and walked this journey as well. Searched for confirmation. I appreciate you.
This is the answer Iâve been praying for!!! This was very helpful!!!
wow that's very brightening, i'm christian too and you made me aware of a lot of stuff, thanks
thank you for encouraging a relationship with God!. Thank you for doing this video because many people are doing these things and are not aware that they come from the evil.
You broke this down beautifully. Iâve been trying to explain this in such a clear and tangible way like you did here and have struggled! I can be⊠blunt for lack of a better term so it doesnât always come out as plain and simple as you put it, so thank you! Thank you for being obedient and making this video!
đwow! đ What a beautiful and well thought out talk, that was also spot on! Im so proud of your obedience to following the prompting of the holy spirit to share this. Our society is being deceived more so than ever- and social media is feeding it like a wild fire. God is using you and your experiences, along with your submissive spirit, to change lives and SAVE lives†Thank you! This comes from a grandmother who loves God with all my heart and is in a spiritual battle to save her own children and grandchild who have all rejected God. But the battle isn't over yet, and i will fight for each of them until i no longer am able. Bless you and your ministry (because you do have a ministry đđ€).
Stop putting yourself down for being an outspoken believer in Christ. You don't have to apologize for what people may think of your beliefs.
I didn't even think about the aspect that the law of attraction is all about you until you mentioned it. I think we are so self centered as people these days and we need more then ever to focus on service and charity and put others needs above our own desires and wants.
I disagree. God gives you the desires of your heart if you believe. God puts those desires in your heart. The desires that donât come from him are those linked to making you feel bad
And who says we don't manifest for other people? I manifested things for my family that helped us, multiple times, and that was BEFORE I turned to God.
While I didn't before or now believe in the Law of Attraction, I believed in manifesting.
I suggest to not think of everyone who Manifests as selfish and thinking of themselves all the time.
@@johnedelmann6711 agree so too! God gave us the mind power to use it right
@@brendabenitez7359 agreed!
Thatâs literally the law of giving. Everybody here doesnât really know anything and instantly claim it to be wrong to use. Youâre a co-creator
I really appreciate your testimony and this video! The law of attraction is just so popular these days and I am encouraged to hear your story and the joy that God has filled you with! đ
Great video, Sophia!! Thank you for sharing the truth and for exposing the deception of new age. Far too many people fall into this trap so I am so glad for video like yours! đ„°
