- Are Shamans Good? Is Christianity Good? | New Age to Jesus Testimony 2023 | Christian Testimony Video of New Age vs. Jesus Christ |
I know I don't normally talk about my faith on my channel, and if this type of video isn't for you, no worries! Give it a pass. BUT, if you grew up in a church and have moved into spiritualism, my story might well resonate with you.
Growing up in a Christian household, I knew the deep love of Jesus from a young age. I even thought I wanted to be a missionary as a child, and I'd dress up in "preacher" outfits and go around my house with a Bible. But, people in the church let me down. I learned that love was earned not unconditional for humans...and instead of only looking to Jesus, I looked also towards a church of sinners. Making people in the church my god made me feel like Christianity was judgemental and unkind. And after traveling the world and experiencing other belief systems, I moved farther and farther away from "religion."
Around that same time, I got deep into new-age practices. It started with books like "Super Attractor" and with yoga and manifestation. I thought that God was in all religions and was simply love...and I inherently slowly started to make myself God. The coaching industry can often really push new-age beliefs of self-worship...and I made my business my idol. I made my business my god. Women around me told me I was special, and that I could tap into a spiritual world and heal myself and others. I was told I could speak to spirits, and that I was powerful.
Then, I partook in a shamanic "healing." As the shaman in my darkened room gagged and became possessed by a spirit or demon, I realized just how demonic the world I had found was. I realized that I'd become a selfish human. I realized I didn't believe in the lie of filling up your own cup and self-care and THEN taking care of others...JESUS was all about selfless LOVE.
And as you listen to my testimony, I hope you can hear how Jesus lovingly called me back to Him. How he didn't shame me when I returned to Him but said "welcome home, my daughter!"
If you're looking for peace and healing, Jesus is peace and healing. If you're looking for deep, unconditional love, Jesus is deep, unconditional love. If you're looking for freedom from your pain, Jesus brings freedom from your pain. God loves us so much that he gave the ultimate sacrifice...his only son, Jesus! Jesus loved the outcasts, the poor, the rejected, the hurt, and the oppressed. Jesus died for our sins, so that we can be born again into a new life with Him. He died on a cross so that we, who don't deserve God's love, can have God's love and everlasting life, and the deep peace of the Holy Spirit! Thank you, Jesus for your unfailing love!
"And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." (Ephesians 3: 18-19)
If you've come out of the new age and found Jesus, please share some of what you've found in Jesus in the comments!
If you have questions, feel free to send me them on IG or by email.
****I work with women and men of all different religions and faiths. I respect and love you no matter what differences in beliefs we have. This is simply my truth, and I felt compelled to share it with you if you're seeking for something, and you haven't been able to find what you're looking for. ❤️ If your soul is dying of thirst, Christ is living water. Jesus said, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”

Infertility led me into the new age, I was desperate to be a mom. I did sound baths, breath work, energy healing and tarot. I just got more unhealthy and depressed. Then I was at rock bottom and I heard a preacher sharing the Gospel on TV at my in laws house and it cut through my negative wicked thoughts. It has been a journey to untangle myself from the new age lies. But now I have surrendered to Gods will for my life and I’m not trying to “make things happen” I’m at peace and praise God I am a mother now.
Thank you so much for this comment! it sounds like you have had an intense journey to God. so glad to hear that you have found Jesus and that you are a mom!
Thankyou for sharing!💕Congratulations on the gift of motherhood!Psalm 139
Most infertility cause is not enough testosterone, estrogen, progesterone produced from pregnenolone.
The cause of that lousy production is little cholesterol to make pregnenolone and cortisol production stealing pregenenolone. Cortisol is released in response to various stressors. Many of them we don't know about. Stress to release it chronically and all hell breaks loose, which includes fertility. We are not meant to reproduce into stressful situations.
3 big unrecognized stressors are blue light at night, wireless and cellular emf, and mold biotoxins. If we don't control those in the environment we choose, we get chronic stress which results in chronic inflammation. Mold can even build things in you (biofilms, marcons) that are hard to remove.
The most effective and optimal way to get rest (avoid stress and repair the damage from it and remove the inflammation from it) is daily sunlight exposure followed by dark nights kept on eyes and skin. Adding cold exposure amplifies the effect, especially when it's a routine.
Morning and evening of the light of the world predominates with the healing infrared frequencies. Noonish is where the UVb comes to make vitamin D, but also is the burning frequency. To spend more time in the UVb before the burn for more vit D, get the morning and evening light. Even a slight burn is healed fine overnight with all the other healing you have enabled.
A child is a gift from God.
❤🙏🙏🙏 yessss I remember trying to “do things alone” it was lonely and sad and then I realized peace > everything …. & God gives you a spirit of peace and not fear !
“Life with Jesus isn’t easy but it is peaceful.” Felt that in my soul
That's the difference between Religion and a real relationship with the living God. It's hard, dynamic, challenging and real. I love the old testament figure of how God work on his own cult things. He never use a mold, he took a piece of precious metal and made in form hit by hit. No shortcuts with him, we have all eternity to knowing him; the fathomless riches of god.
SO DID I!!! 🤍 such a beautiful way of putting it
I was just about to write this, and saw you already had!
She summed it up perfectly.
God only exists in your mind.😢
@@DutchmanAmsterdam I don't know what life experiences have convinced you of this but I pray God will reveal Himself to you as alive and active. I encourage you to Google Psalm 14:1.
Me too. Born into a Christian family. I've been around the block delving into "manifesting" and the teachings of prominent new-age teachers, only to return to the Truth. As I left my abode recently, on my way to pick up my wife from work, I said to God, "Please don't forget about me." I locked the door and drove off. The same evening, as I readied myself to teach online, I had a minute to spare, so I opened Tiktok. A person I had never seen before on the app, said the following: "There is no such thing as coincidence with God. I want you to know that God has not forgotten you." Needless to say, I was blown away and in awe. That is the God we serve, Jesus Christ!
That part about how Jesus was fighting for you, even when you were in the darkness... I completely broke down sobbing.
I was a prodigal who came back to the Lord in my 20s after walking away from him when I was a teenager. I had so many "close calls" when I was living in darkness, times where I look back and I cannot see any other way I made it out alive other than Jesus's blood protecting me. I gave my heart to Him as a little girl and He never ever left me, even when I strayed so far.
Praise God for His faithfulness!
Amen!!!
If we are faithless He remains faithful for He cannot deny Himself. - 2 Timothy 2:13
We serve a GOOD GOD! He treats me waaaaay better than I deserve!
Amen.
I was Muslim then atheist then in new age finally in 2020 when demons tormented me for long enough and I didn’t know that!
I was planning to kill my self and Jesus saved me ❤
Now I’m Christian and I understand what is darkness my dear sister
I’m happy you were smarter than me and get it maybe bc you grew up as Christian for me as muslim I never thought in a million years that Jesus is the Truth and Way and Love 💗 and
Light and Life 😊
He Is Amazing 🙏✝️🩸🤍
after all the searching : Christian you have the Real GOD .
Jesus is the way the truth and the life! Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤️
JESUS CHRIST IS THE GOD OF ALL CREATION AND PEOPLE HALLELUJAH AMEN
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS AMEN
I was raised Muslim also until my mom left my Dad because he would beat up my mom. When I became a teenager I was introduced to Jesus Christ by an ex- motorcycle gang leader. Now life is getting better every day!
We are not as strict as we should be honestly, we have way more power to change things, Help others while you still can. We don't know our last day .
Praise the Lord
The New Age got hold of me, but Jesus never left me. He kept calling me!! Thank you for your beautiful testimony ❤
He left the 99 for us! Praise God!
Oh girl, I was laughing and crying with you. Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏🏻
I was into New age as well. I did meditation, yoga, white magic etc. and it was the scariest time of my life. I had nightmares, I sleepwalked, my health conditions got bad. I opened doors and let demons into my life. Absolutely horrific.
But Jesus didn't leave me in this place. 🙏🏻😭 He appeared in my dreams. Not only once but twice, until I realized that he tried to save me.
In my first dream i was playing hide and seek and he appeared in the sky. He told me that he misses me and made a gesture to follow him. This dream made me aware of my lifestyle but I didn't change anything about it. In the second dream I was kneeling on the floor, covering my eyes and my ears and hundreds of Indian men were standing around me. Suddenly a door opened and all men made a passage and Jesus came into the room. He ran up towards me and hugged me. After this dream I knew instantly that Jesus tries to save me. ❤️And let me tell you, this was not a coincidence. I had nothing to do with Jesus to process him or Christianity in my dreams. He reached out to me. 🙏🏻 And he saved me❤️ and I am beyond thankful. I repented and turned to Christ. He is the love of my Life.
(I cutted my story short😅)
I already commented on several other videos about my testimony because I really want to reach people out there. I can tell you JESUS is real. ❤️
I am not a scam, I never did and still don't do any drugs, no alcohol, no smoking, just an ordinary girl from Germany.
God bless you all and hope to meet you in heaven one day🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! I pray others read it as well! God is so good! Jesus saves!
I NEEDED to see this. Thank you for sharing. Jesus is saving me rn! I left the yoga world too!
Your story of rededication back to Jesus is moving and brought me tears. I also rededicated my life back to Christ roughly a year ago, leaving my homosexual lifestyle behind and choosing to pursue a life in mission work. God is so great, right? I will pray for you and your walk with our Father in Heaven. I also subscribed to your channel, and look forward to seeing how God uses you on CZcams. God bless you, sister.
God bless you ❤
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Yes! Jesus didn’t come to establish a religion, he came to love us and give us the peace that passes understanding
Amen! Jesus is truly amazing. Unending love. Unending grace.
The peace given by our Heavenly Father can not be duplicated or found anywhere else. I treasure His peace that passes understanding. It’s a priceless gift. I continue to pray for my friends who haven’t known that kind of peace.
He tells us why he came here…
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. TO THIS END WAS I BORN, AND FOR THIS CAUSE CAME I INTO THE WORLD, that I should BEAR WITNESS (G3140 - TESTIFY) UNTO THE TRUTH. Every one that is of the truth HEARETH (G191 - UNDERSTANDS) my VOICE ( G5456 - DISCLOSURE).” John 18:37
You forgot to mention that he came to save us from ourselves and sin.
@@t-jaymumbojumbo007 He came to give us the Truth and it is not what they teach in the churches. “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I SHOULD BEAR WITNESS UNTO THE TRUTH. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37
When Jesus started chasing me, I had decided to go on a shamanic journey. It was in a small space with about 25-30 other people. It was intense. Everyone else seemed to have these insane experiences and travelled to different places and got “insight” while the whole time I felt uncomfortable and terrified. I never left my body, but it felt like something was trying to rip me from it. It was the middle of the night out in the wilderness, and across the circle I could see a man sitting completely still. He was glowing white as if a black light was on him and he was made of white. Just a white silhouette with a robe and long hair, he never moved. He stayed there the whole night and when I felt I was losing control I would focus on him. I was certain the moonlight was hitting this man through a tiny hole in the yurt since he was the only one glowing, and I couldn’t wait for the sun to come up so I could see that it was just a dude with long hair. Part of me knew it was Jesus. When we could see in the morning, there was nobody that was sitting where I saw him and nobody that looked like that. God had me the whole time. He knew I shouldn’t be there.
It was maybe a few more months of weird adventures before I gave myself to Christ. There’s so much to unpack there but yes the Holy Spirit fights for us in those times. I was brought up Christian and I knew Jesus was real. He finally sent a woman to my house after I broke down and prayed. She came right to my door to tell me Jesus loves me and that sealed the deal
This brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your amazing testimony here for myself and others to read. Praise Jesus for protecting us. Sometimes, I think about how much the Holy Spirit protected me in that room, and I’m so overcome with gratitude 🙏🏼
how was that Jesus? If he was white, that was not Jesus, but a figment of your imagination and was an affect of you tripping... Just saying.
@@Quoyamshe said he was glowing white.. the Bible mentions Jesus dressed in white robes and when seen in his glory he shines like the purest brightest white light. Way to miss the whole point of this comment tho lol Plus it was dark outside so I’m sure noticing his shade of skin color was rather hard..to see whether he was
Olive toned,light brown or dark brown.. not that any of that matters when it comes to who Jesus Christ is.
@@QuoyamJesus was a Nazarene. Most were blue eyed and fair skinned, but his color doesn’t matter one bit. He’s no longer human, but pure spirit. Pure Spirit has no skin color. When Jesus came to me in a very powerful dream, he was mainly an intense, tall, column of bright light with an electric face that I could almost see but not quite. I sure felt him though.
Wow, what an incredible experience! Jesus is amazing 🤍
Thank you for sharing your testimony. I also came out of (40 years!!) in the New Age movement. I did Not grow up with any religion taught or practiced around me. This last March I celebrated my 11th Re-Birth-day of being Saved... and in this last March I also turned 70 years old. I spent 40+ years with a revulsion of Christians and the name of Jesus... but... none of the new age stuff that i practiced (astrology, crystals, tarot, pendulum, yoga, etc...) ever worked for me...I was always frustrated that they "seemed" to work for others but not for me. Now I see I was being protected all those years!! Thank You Jesus for knowing and protecting Your own!! I gave my life to Jesus, the One and Only Lord and SAVIOR and I have never looked back. Praise the Lord!! God Bless you and your endeavors. 🙏☝️💖☝️🙏
“Life isn’t easy when you give your life to Jesus, but it’s peaceful.” 16:10
Amen sister, Amen!
Ty for sharing your testimony ❤
@@MrPeterharold supernatural spiritual peace found in GOD and trust in His promises, my friend. GB
This hit home and meant alot.
I have been through a similar yet different journey myself.
The Holy Spirit is real.
Often imitated but never duplicated.
Praise to Abba the Father in Jesus Mighty name.
Yes, I love how you phrased that...often imitated but never duplicated. How true.
The holy Spirit is Jesus sent to us by the Father. Jesus is our Comforter and He promised to come to us. 2Cor.3:17-18, Paul tells us that the Spirit is the Lord: the Lord, the Spirit. His spirit is holy. Satan's Spirit is evil. We want the holy Spirit of Christ dwelling in us; otherwise, it's Satan's Spirit. He will abode with many more evil than him if you are not filled with Jesus.
Often imitated, never duplicated...so much truth in this statement!
And yet is leading millions of different Christians in different directions...
Thank you Lord!!! I was also saved from New Age! Ex psychic-medium who used to perform reiki and astral project. I had a demonic encounter during a reiki session and happened to have been invited to church that day right after where I met and gave my life to Jesus!!! My life is forever changed. He is the way, the truth, and the LIFE!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hallelujah!!
Isnt it obvious that bad things are as real as good? So why chose one and why believe one? You had experiences woth both so why can’t they complement each other
@sarah can you tell us more?
That’s beautiful
Hi, Sarah, I hope you will record your testimony and post it to CZcams. So many people are falling headlong into the evil one's grasp and they need to know a) the truth about the dangers of New Age teachings and b) HOW to get FREE through Jesus Christ. (The real Jesus, not the false "Christ consciousness " touted by so many false teachers.) Sister, you are needed to spread truth! ❤ God can use your story to redeem others in the same sinking boat, so please speak up and throw a lifeline to those willing to listen. Blessings to you as you let God redeem and use those past experiences for good (Romans 8:28).🥰
I was 48 when I accepted Christ. Our life had fallen apart in one day and there was no help for my family. In the milk house, I held onto my husband's coveralls and we both heard a voice tell us to go back to Scripture. Our family started reading the Bible that day. Our boys stayed home from school for a week and we devoured the Bible and prayed together as we never had before. I was on the back of a 4-wheeler when I very flippantly decided to raise my hands and give my life to Jesus. In an instant, the colors of the tree and sky became brilliant. When we went back to the milk house I smelled this beautiful aroma. I would never go back to the life we led before. I am 57 now and want to encourage everyone to turn their hearts to Jesus. It isn't easy but there is truly peace, just like you said! I love Jesus and He loves me.! Thank you for your testimony! What happened to you happens all too often to many of us.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story with us! Jesus is the way the truth and the life!
It’s amazing how vibrant the world looks when He fills your heart. I will never forget when it happened to me. I was also looking up when the sky and the trees just became so alive. The colors were beautiful. My sense of smell has also changed. I am amazed reading your comment.
I was pulled out of wicca and into the loving arms of Jesus more than half my lifetime ago now and, yes, life in Christ may not always be easy, but it's peaceful, joyful and confident in His Hope and Promises.
May God bless you as you continue to seek and grow in Him 😙💝
Wow 😭 you made me feel like I am not alone. I grew up Christian too. Gave my life to Jesus at 12 and was leading in the youth group as a teenager. Around September of 2022 I dipped my toes in New Age. Crystals, manifesting, meditation, and even tho it felt wrong at first, tarot. My husband and I got really into it. And looking back now, those few months that I denied Jesus and the Bible and relied on the New Age practices, those were the darkest months of my life. This year March, after being so tired of the darkness and depression I decided to “give the church a try” again. We walked into one of the local churches and I felt like that’s exactly where I needed to be and I felt that need and desire to be prayed over and have hands laid on me too. So I went to the prayer group and that’s there I completely recommitted myself to God. But not just myself but my marriage and my 3 kids. God is so good! Love you girl! So proud of you for putting your testimony out there💗
Hallelujah! Thank you so much for sharing!!! God is good!
I looked through your channel expecting to see more like this video and was surprised to see the content is nothing like this! So I just want to say, I think it is so awesome that as an established creator with a channel of this size you are stepping out in faith and sharing your testimony and using your platform to point to Jesus. I pray this will bring many more people to faith in him. Thank you!
Yeah I was also surprised and thought that her content would be more like this video
Ahh, yes I was really nervous initially to share my testimony because my channel isn't at all about faith. But I felt God call me to share, and I knew I had to listen! I'm hoping to create more faith-based content in the future! I'm really excited to blend the two worlds and see what God has in store...I told God he could have my channel and whatever direction I'm supposed to go i'll listen! So we shall see! Thanks for you words of encouragement!
@@DanieJayhi, I listened to your message. Wondered if it would be possible to ask you a private question
@@lynnredfern9319 yes, please email me danie@heydaniejay.com
@@DanieJayI will be joining you in prayer for courage and knowledge on which way to go. Peace be with you. 🕊️🙏✝️
I grew up Christian too. I felt like the education system kind of pulled me away from God. Just before Covid a coworker invited me to church and I felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time. I feel so blessed that I had this realization before those crazy years. I had spent 10 years in therapy, moved away and tried to be of this world but nothing helped me but knowing Jesus. Covid solidified my need for Christ and knowing I wanted to have fellowship with God and the Body of Christ. It’s so crazy to be 41 and feel like a child in Christ again. There is so much to learn and I have so much hope ❤
I have been living in ubud bali for the past 7 years, one of the biggest new age spiritual communities I know of. I completely resonate and agree with you on all that you speak of. After experiencing almost of of what new age spirituality is about, I whole heartedly believe that at its core, most of it is satanic. I got lost in it, possessed and have come out of it and want nothing to do with any of. Just niw Jesus Christ! Amen
He left the 99, and came after little old me.
He reminds us how special each of us are to Him.
He is everything!
And you are such a blessing. What a lovely video!
Praise God, He rescued me too. God bless you.
I was not raised in a Christian home, my mother was involved in some of the things you shared...I remember when my mother read my tarot cards and then threw the cards and never told me what she saw...for years I wondered and always felt something evil following me....I escaped death 3 times ...then at 27 I cried out to God in my bedroom and asked if he was real and if so please come and I would do anything...Jesus is real and I understand now that he saved me from being killed by the enemy cause he had a plan for me...Jesus is real and I pray and hope more people find Him
Why does the Trinity not appear in the Bible?peace//
@lufhopespeacefully2037 It does. From Genesis to Revelation.
Oddly enough, " bible" is not in the Bible.
The Spirit and The Son were present at creation. The Spirit of the Lord works throughout the OT, and the Word, which is the Godhead, prophesies Itself becoming Flesh through the Spirit placing Him in the womb of a virgin.
"The Helper" is the part of the Godhead that is the Spirit Jesus teaches to the 12.
The Restrainer is the Spirit keeping the full destruction of Satan at bay, until released at Tribulation, following the rapture of the Church.
"Rapture" is also not written in English, but in the Greek and Latin as harpadzo and rapturo, respectively.
Also, Jesus is not Christian.
Read the book, friend🤗
Thank you for this encouraging! My college son had left his foundation in Christ and converted to Islam 😢. He was dedicated as a baby was baptized as a young teen but drifted in college . A toxic atheist NEW age Girlfriend drove him further into a journey away from his Christian foundation. He was brought up in church and now claims he’s tried everything while researching other options and settled on Islam for his true peace . I’m praying and fasting that he finds JESUS & be on fire for THE KINGDOM . He was easy prey from Muslim co workers . He’s only researching one side . I know GOD doesn’t have Islam in his purpose ! I know he will return ! To GOD be the glory ! Thank you for sharing! Praying his filters are removed
Have FAITH. God PROMISES to answer our prayers said in faith. No maybe. Only yes and yes. Pray with faith. Your son WILL return to Christ. Trust and BELIEVE in the God.
I remember back decades ago, how I noticed how the young girls were really leaving the church & going into femminism, atheism, new-age, & especially the occult & satanism I was in Christian youth situations of seeing all male or predominantly male youth groups!! The Christian girls were not to be found!! I have noticed how many youth ministry outreaches for troubled youth are mostly for reaching males & not many for females!!
Lots of childhood trauma and mental health issues led me to the new age. All that crap I thought was helping me was hurting me more. Literally once I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart my life has been changing by leaps and bounds for the better. I truly believe now after some shamanic experiences in the past that there was something demonic attached to me keeping me held down in the depths of despair. I thank Jesus everyday for saving me and the life he has given me. ❤️✝️🙏
I love Jesus's parable about the son returning from his fruitless ramblings, the father running towards him to embrace him, being overcome with joy and throwing a huge feast for him.
I love that so much too! I feel like it speaks so much to my own journey. God is so kind!
Luke 15:11
I thank Jesus that He brought you back when I thought you were lost. You are the perfect picture of the one sheep He will seek out and find and rejoice! I love you so much sister!!
Love you so much! "Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Luke 15:3-7
lets all see TODD WHITE and Curry blake to help us grow on our journey with JESUS :)
@@DanieJay Incredible to hear these real life testimonies by the chosen, the elect, the royal family in Christ. I was born and raised in very conservative sect of chistian faith and went asray. Strayed so far I got to see all the glories and riches of this world. The elite empire that is on the verge of collapse given way to the "golden age" our native ancestors envisoned. It's a blessing and encouragement to see others with this same enlightment. I'm a 7th generation wynadot and 4th generation Lenni Lenape and my white ancestors coming from Germany and Swirterland. Thank you for everything you shared in your video. I can personally relate. Bless you !!!
@@helloscandinaviaReally?? Todd White is a false teacher. I’ve never heard of the other one, so I’m not sure about that one. Please do some research and first and foremost read the Bible and pray fir discernment.
@@tracy5721 todd white is BEST :)
You just made a 57 year old man cry. Your soft heart for Jesus is what having the Holy Spirit in you is all about. As Christians for too long we have let lies slip into our lives and our church. I will tell you, I was a youth minister 20 years ago. My new wife just 3 years after I started cheated on me, abandoned me and took her son (his dad had passed away when he was 13, I loved that boy and he was turning into a great young man), the house went into foreclosure and we had to file bankruptcy before I knew she cheated. My life was destroyed. It has been 20 years I have been yearning to go and share the gospel again, begging churches to let me preach (I have a degree in bible). It has been few and far in between, but this last month has been amazing. Christians are waking up. We are tired and angry at the devil's lies and the saints are RISING BACK UP. Go share your story all over. Hosea 4:6.....Jesus is going to use you!!!
Be encouraged to preach wherever you go. No pulpit is needed. Jesus went and took the gospel everywhere.
Your line ‘I choose Jesus’ brought me to tears! Bless you I’m glad he stayed with you and brought you back. I had very similar situation I strayed from my 20s to my late 40s I look back and I’m so grateful for what God protected me from and how careless I was with my life and my soul. Your testimony can reach many young people and people of all ages actually. Do his work.❤
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I will try my best! I am so so grateful for what God protected me from when I was also careless. God is good.
@@DanieJay amen🙏❤️
Agreeing with you 🙏♥️
I'm an ex new ager too. when you said how careless you were with your soul, it reminded me how, when I gave my life to Jesus, my overwhelming relief that my soul was safe at last! How naively I nearly threw away eternity with God. But Jesus came after me, even when I was walking away from Him. What a Good, good Shepherd! ❤
Going back to the seventies, even back then 90 plus percent of youth were leaving the church & I was scratching my head & youth groups predominantly or even all male,"where were the young girls serving God & going to church?? This was a strange like going to heaven & there are no females walking those streets of gold only males!!
I’m so happy for you. That’s the story of my youngest daughter… please pray for her. She grew up in a Christian home, went to Christian school. All started when she went to university. 15 years later, I’m still fighting on my knees for her. With God all things are possible. Blessings to you.
my friends from Catholic school are all atheists now.
Just prayed for her. God bless. Have faith.
Secular and worldly colleges and universities are evil. It changed my daughter, too, for the worse. Far from God. Got involved with a young man who was a Druid preist that trained her how to evoke a spiritual guide. A lot of knee service here too.
i’m Praying now. Don’t lose hope. God bless you
There is nothing so powerful as a Mother's prayers. Stay in faith dear Mom! ❤️🙏💞
This was a beautiful testimony. I'm much older than you but your story is so close to my own. I got heavily into new age nonsense after I strayed from God. I was talking to shamans and priestesses at Burning Man and getting into Eastern mysticism and occult mysticism. Of all things it was during a mushroom trip that made me realize what a fool I was being. I found the way back to the Lord after that. God bless.
God is so good! Thank you for sharing some of your story!
We all get deceived by the devil during our lifetime, it's in our sinful nature that we find the devil fascinating. But in the end the truth and light always prevails. Halleluja to Jesus and our Father❤
Thank You for sharing your testimony. My youngest son is currently wrapped up in New Age and Marijuana. He knew Jesus and experienced him as a young person, but turned away when he was about fifteen. I know God is good, and I know He hears my prayers for my son.
He does! I really believe when we know Christ as children, we never forget the truth! Your prayers will help bring him back to Jesus!
@@DanieJay What do you do for other people in Christs name? I grown up without a church near me in Sweden. but i buy poor people food even if im poor. It feels wrong to write this bc i will not brag. But i never had christ in my life. Just the guidance of doing good. Do i need to be loved by jesus? sounds like you went from its all about you, to its all about your salvation. Isnt that a trap? Remember the father of lies, thats the one probably wanna talk to you. If you opened up thrue new age, you could easily let him in. " the devil love to take the truth and flip it a little bit"
amen! be faithful in prayer. God is faithful and He cares for us and our children!
Dang
@@aMessIam1it is Christ when you do good, whether you know it or not just wait :)
Thank you sweet girl. This was encouraging to me. My adult daughter have strayed from true faith in the Lord Jesus as well. I’m standing in faith & continuing to pray. 🔥🔥🔥
She will come back. 🙏🏼
YES! Praying for her to return as well, Cindy!
Pray without ceasing. She is a kingdom daughter
We have family in this situation, it's heartbreaking, but stay in faith. Praying for you and your daughter. ❤️🙏💞
Same here, praying and praying 😢🙏
"I will never leave you, nor forsake you" - what a Saviour we have to serve! Once you have that peace, everything falls into its proper place. Thanks for sharing this, it's inspiring!
amen!
Danie this was a great testimony. He saved me from new age also. Giving my life to Him was the best decision I ever made. You’re such a beautiful girl. God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ!
I am proud of you for sharing! I was raised by a shaman father and not until 3 years ago did I find that Jesus IS the way, the truth and the life! I left tarot, for the Trinity, I left sage for the Holy Spirit and scripture! Amen for your courage! I am thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for saving me from myself, spiritual warfare, the love of money and living for false gods and false light. I pray that your testimony helps open the eyes of many in Jesus name!
Thank you for being a part of my journey back to Jesus! God is so good. I haven't felt this peace in my life since I was a child. I feel free. God's plan will always be better than our plan. ❤
Thank you for sharing! I think God that he saved you. Have you posted your testimony on CZcams anywhere?
@SarahBernierwifemoment No, I really haven't shared my entire testimony. This is definitely something I need to do to continue to share God's goodness and mercy.
Hi Danie! I don't believe in coincidences and know God led me to your channel and to listen to this vlog. Your testimony touched me so deeply. I too was raised Christian and at one point went astray. God never left my side and truly believe he protected me even though I lived in sin and was so lost and just a mess. I was a very sad, broken person without God. I finally went through something so horrible but it brought me to my knees. I gave my life back to Jesus and have felt the freest I've ever been since. I feel at home with Him and I know He is SO REAL! His Name is the most powerful name there is! He is the only one that can truly fill that void. Praise God!! I'm so happy you found your way back home, Danie! May God continue to bless you and use you to reach other lost, broken souls. Love & Prayers, Nev! 💖🙏
Oh I’m so grateful to hear that God called you back to him as well! He was definitely with you even when you went astray! God is good! Thank you for taking the time to share this with me!
Incredible to hear these real life testimonies by the chosen, the elect, the royal family in Christ. I was born and raised in very conservative sect of chistian faith and went asray. Strayed so far I got to see all the glories and riches this world which is on the verge of collapse given way to the "golden age" our native ancestors envisoned. It's a blessing and encouragement to see others with this same enlightment.
He did bring this video to you! 😄 Love this! So happy for you ❤
Thank you so much! I got out of New Age very recently and had instant healing with Jesus and God one night in desperation. ❤thank you so much ✨️
Your testimony touched me, thank you for sharing! I had a similar experience, I knew Jesus as a child and then I strayed but He called me back. I'm about to get baptized now! I'm so excited and thankful that Jesus never gave up on me and the plans He has for me. I feel so blessed to have experienced His Grace like this
Please pray for the salvation of my son, Daniel. Also raised in the church, but now walking in darkness. My heart longs for him to know Jesus the way you describe. Thank you for this great testimony. ❤️
Dear Jesus, I lift up to you Daniel. I pray that you would chase after him and overwhelm him with your deep love! We pray he comes to you and soon!
Many are in agreement AMEN ❤️🙏💞
the bible says "you are gods" how do you interpret this?
I was so into Shamanism when I was younger. For years studying and learning about the tribes, cultures, history, plants, etc. I finally went to Peru and did Ayahuasca a few times while I was there. Wow. It was so dark. And I expected it to be intense and terrifying but experiencing it wasn't what I expected. I saw a spirit swoop down and sabatage the ceremony during one of the nights. I felt such an intense terror and regret. I wasn't afraid of death so I wasn't worried about what I had read and heard about it. But at that moment I feared for my soul. People were freaking out and flailing on the ground. My roommate was pretty messed up for a while. He kept asking when he would feel normal again. I think it took him a long time. Don't open doors that let spirits in. We weren't meant to play on that battle field. There's a reason the bible says to avoid these things that change our consciousness. If spirits attach to you it could mean a lifetime of sufferring and turmoil. I'm glad Jesus woke me up from shamanism and new age deception. My family and I are still trying to rebuild our lives from the absolute chaos and destruction that we've been through but it didn't start to get better until my wife and I suddenly woke up to Jesus Christ. He literally snapped us out of our delusion. God is great. ❤
Can you specify where in the bible does it say not to take medicine plants?
You obviously didn’t know what you were doing to protect yourself. Yes this life opens doors and you shouldn’t open doors when you’re not properly prepared to open them. Doesn’t mean that journey is wrong.
@@KimNherJourney maybe YOU don't know, bro/sis... ...maybe you aren't humble enough to accept that perhaps his perception of it is real and yours isn't deception is powerful, and always seems good, often comes with fireworks and feelings
@@KimNherJourney I agree. If you're just learning to ride a horse, start with a tamed and docile pony, not a Thoroughbred race horse. Some spirits/emanations are gentle, while others will buck and throw you if you are not properly trained and prepared.
@@loontil has nothing to do with being humble lol 😂 and what are you even talking about ? You have no idea what I have been through and I am living proof that this path I’m taking is the right one because I am at peace with myself and I no longer have depression or self esteem issues like I once did. All I am saying is it’s very easy to automatically judge and say this way of doing things is wrong because of my “negative experience “ sure his experience may have been valid but it’s not enough to completely bash it as a whole.
Thank you so much for your very moving testimony! New Age beliefs are really popular right now, so you sharing your experience is so needed. It's also just so encouraging to hear how Jesus works in peoples' lives, how He transforms them, how He loves them. We are truly blessed!
They are so popular! I pray that more and more new age believers come to Jesus!
My daughter is in the new age so deep. I pray she will return to Jesus soon. 🙏🏻
Let her be it’s her path not yours. New age is not evil I’m sick of people talking about it like it’s wrong lol so many people don’t know what they are doing and live in fear ! You can still love Jesus and be into new age just don’t harm other people in process. My life is fantastic !!! And this video is ridiculous
"Life isnt easy when you give your life to Jesus but it's peaceful" is a beautiful and apt description of the Walk. Thank you for this spirit filled message! ❤
Yes! Perfectly elocuted. ✝️💜
Please make more Christian videos! I don’t even come from a New Age background, but your testimony has moved me more than I could possibly let you know.
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! I hope to make more Christian content in the near future!
@@DanieJay awesome!!
@@DanieJayI was a pagan all my life until my Jesus encounter. There's New Age cultural appropriation by irritating Westerners,then there the godless lineage that being a pagan, with a shamanic heritage going back numerous generations like me. Even when I'm unhappy with Jesus, I could never go back to the old gods ! There ARE no other gods,old gods. There's just Jesus. I'm the first believer in my family,ever. I wasn't a kid when I had my conversion experience. Never read a Bible before then either. I worry about people who go after these other forbidden belief systems because of being offended by church people. Don't do that. Leave people who bother you, but don't go for that occult stuff. There's so many,too many, people who said that they were beaten and abused by their Christian parents,and left the faith entirely. If you are a parent who did these things, and you want a prodigal to return, understand that you must apologize, and not shut down protest against your past abuse. Pray and don't nag. Don't dismiss the feelings that the now- adult child has had. And please don't even TRY to justify past cruelties. You know who you are.
boo Karen i love my rainbow panties
Praise God!! I have similar testimony. I was always a believer in Jesus. During divorce I was searching.. for healing. For my gifts. Same thing.. drawn into new age. God never let me delve too deep. I took classes from a “witch”. Physics, crystals, cards. I had around 50+ decks of cards. The lord lead me to burn them all. Get rid of the stones. I took reiki class after my level one certificate the Lord had me rip it up. I knew I wasn’t taking any more new age classes. He walked me right out of new age. Now, like this beautiful woman giving her testimony. I am able to tell others the hidden evil of new age.
Crystals are natural and created by God…
Praying for you, Danie! I grew up doing the same “new age” rituals. Jesus made himself known to me as a teen and I obeyed Him. I will never turn back. He is my Savior, Master, and Lord!!!! I cannot survive without Him. He is my life, breath, and salvation.
wooow I knew I remembered you! I was watching your Bali video where you were sick with the fever when I was still in New Age and the Lord pulled me out of it too and now you upload this testimony! Ah God is so good for saving our souls! Praise the Lord!
Wooow! Praise God! So incredible to hear Jesus pulled you out as well! Also, how wild that you watched my Bali video first! God's plans are always so much more interesting than I could ever have imagined lol! Thankful for you and how God will use you!
Thank you for sharing your testimony! In 2015 Jesus saved me from the New Age as well. I was so deep into this movement and needed love and healing so desperately. I found everything I was searching for in Jesus. I pray many more will be saved who are on this wrong path 🙏 God is amazing and so good. He is all we need. Praise Him ❤
Praise Jesus! Thank you so much for sharing!
What a beautiful testimony and video!!! I was raised Catholic and that made me run as far away as I could so I ended up ensnared in the new age. Without going into my whole testimony I’ll just say that Jesus made it clear that He wanted me to choose HIM and I praise Him that He did not give up on me!!! I received Him as my Savior and have never looked back! God bless you!!
Same story but Mormon past. Yep. Praise God!!
Your new age to Jesus story is SO similar to mine! The coaching industry had me completely deceived but Jesus saved me! 🙌🏼
I hope you will record your testimony and share it online. The coaching industry is HUGE and is deceiving so very many. You can help others by exposing it and offering the way out through Jesus. God will use your testimony greatly, if you let him! ❤
It’s the sound of your voice, it’s the joy. I just listened to it and let it put me to sleep. That’s the sound of a soul that’s been touched by the goodness of God.
" Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be." Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️
Your testimony was sweet. I remember my mother told me, that in her 30’s she was curious of the new age, and went to one meeting. Later that night, she said she had the darkest nightmare and it scared her back to Jesus and she became born again and received the Holy Spirit, and she’s been happy ever since. She’s 80 now. I guess lesson is, don’t let curiosity or the worlds point of view de-rail you after from Jesus
Thank you so much for sharing this - your testimony has really touched me. I was rebelling in my spirit after my sister passed last year after only 3 months of illness. My late sister , younger than me, was a widow , raised 4 children alone, a prayer warrior , a strong believer . We prayed , she believed with us for God’s healing , then she passed suddenly., and in October this year will be a year since she passed. Am still emotional , after she passed , I stopped praying and didn’t want to go to church anymore, , although I know Jesus still loves me. I started talking about spirits and joined people who believed in spirits . Even though I knew I was not doing something right.
Listening to you has broken me down into tears . You challenged me, I am asking God today to forgive me and to help me to accept it that my sister is our shining Angel in heaven and God’s timing is never the same for everyone. I am still trying to accept it. Thank you for helping me to heal 🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽
I used to be new agey - at some point I was balancing going back to church and new age. But then at some point, all the new age stuff started to feel very wrong. That was my sign to throw it all out. Youre so brave to put it all on CZcams. You are awesome for sharing.
It’s fear. Not wrong. Just your fear.
Thank you for speaking on this. I was recently saved by Jesus from a spiritual attack when I fell too deep into new age. It really means a lot to see someone has been through a similar path. Jesus brought me out, shed light over all the deception I was under, and showed me truth I had never known before. His love frees. Thank you again
I’m an ex witch and new age-r of 18 years, and Jesus has saved me recently. I’m so grateful to be in his peace even though I did things that I thought were good & healing but that were directly making me even more unworthy of Jesus’s love, and yet he still showed up and saved me anyway. Now everything feels lighter, I’m getting confirmations from God and I know he’s leading me out of my old ways. It’s happening so quickly too. If God weren’t real and all powerful, why was I working so hard in the new age and witchcraft for two decades and yet things only got worse? The selfish things I was seeking to attain for all those years in the new age are all being found now in Jesus. Glory be to God 🩵🙏🏻
It's going to get better and better!
I had a similar history in the new age, I was pretty heavy into it for several years beginning in the 80's (when the new age was still new😂 ) People told me the same about being "special". I didn't see the dark side when I was in it until the consequences were great. I fell for the imitation. I know now there is only one true God and his name is Jesus. There's one dark force behind all false gods, the liar, theif, destroyer.
Praise God he allowed you to see truth when he did. Thanks for sharing your experience. God bless you!
Wow what a beautiful testimony! Thanks so much for sharing with all of us…amazing and I look forward to seeing more 🙏
CP
God is good! ❤️🙏🏼 Thank you, friend!
Ahhhh beautiful!! I follow diaries of a master sushi chef on here and I'm going to add this young lady as well. Be blessed both of you!
I struggle with religion but have faith in God. I was raised Christian but from all of the stories and research I have seen leads me to believe there is more. So far no Christian has explained how people who have died or had near death experiences and come back and remember past lives or say everything is all connected. How do you explain that? Or a non christian child saved by Hindu god they never knew existed and met Jesus too; as well remembering past lives. How is this possible? All lies and tricks of the devil? On an innocent child? There are countless experiences, many who see Jesus and still experience past life memories. I believe Jesus is real but I feel like there is more to the story and maybe we have been misled. I pray all the time for Jesus to show me the truth and I still feel lost. There is certainly GREAT power in Jesus! However, I still feel like there is more to the story...if that makes sense. God has been good to me and I know Jesus is looking out for me too; I just hate feeling lost and feeling like we dont have the entire story.If anyone can enlighten me I am more than willing to engage in a conversation. I honestly want the truth, not looking to argue.
Hi @ whateverthedaybrings, of most importance...do you know the gospel of Christ and really understand it? This is how are souls become saved.
Book of John is important to read too.
@@sunnydaze1185 But how does it explain past life recollection? There are many documented cases where there is no way a person could know the information. Especially in cases where they meet people who are still alive and know them from a past life. Some know great detail, names, how they died, etc and it's 100% accurate. Especially the case of James Linnenger (probably misspelled). He was like under 5 years old, it is not like he could read about it.
I also feel there must be more. Past life regressions and NDE’s are fascinating. Christians have insufficient answers except to dismiss anything as “wrong” if it doesn’t fit and then dismiss it without actually thinking about it. Your question intrigues me as I’ve wondered similar things yet had no answers. But I believe there’s more and that this doesn’t have to be dark, but part of the mystery of being human and of the unknowable Divine.
I relate to your story so much. They also told me I had 'healing gifts'. No, I need Jesus desperately and so thankful He is the good shepard and seeks out his lost sheep
Yes, I heard that as well. I have found that the devil isn't original. He just takes concepts of God's and alters them. So, I do think we have gifts of the Spirit for sure that God wants us to be using for His glory, but they are often manipulated for selfish ambition. I am so grateful Jesus left the 99 to find me!
@@DanieJay☺
@@DanieJayi agree with you. Someone told me I am a witch. I told them "not in Jesus name"
"If you want a love that lasts man, you gotta have Jesus!" I love that
I also found God through Satan, unfortunately I picked the long way home but God's love is great and He wants us all to be saved !
Why are we even in this maze?
I enjoyed your testimony! I haven’t met a shaman or did shamanic work, but I did do New Age practices for years. It really amped up in 2020 and I thought I was on top of the world. I was humbled last year when I’d lost everything (new car, apartment, job) and my mental health took a turn for the worst. If it wasn’t for my mom praying over me, my hairdresser showing me a sermon from her church, and Jesus wanting me back I’d be a hot mess right now.
praise Jesus! I love your story.
I remember how when I was 18 someone took me to a hindu meditation session where the leader was teaching levitations and those who invited me told me that they eye-witnessed him doing it. So I was there in the room with everybody chanting.... and after a while the leader said: "there is a spirit in the room that hinders me to levitate". I knew in that moment, that Jesus is with me and the Holy Spirit is present. Although I was not professing my faith, I did get saved at 14, just 3 years before that.
Yes I was Brought up in a Christian home! However life happens and we just live however I always had him close! Last year I went back to reading the bible and he has saved me from panic last year! Beautiful well done hun! X
Loved watching this ❤ my grandmother was a ‘white witch’ and my mother came into Christianity as a 23 year old. I’ve always known the evils in New Age and been super careful to not get sucked in. How great is God and Jesus. His love always finds us and brings us back to him
Oh, my goodness, I went through a very similar journey, and I think many do. I didn’t think I’d left Jesus, though. I had. But He keeps trying to get us back. Jesus is amazing. I am so happy you are back, as are many of your commenters. You are doing Jesus’ work by posting this video. SO happy for you. I always think of the show The Chosen, and how Jesus not only welcomed Mary Magdalene back, but he sought her out and had her invited back. He still loves us and wants us no matter what we do. Amazing.
Yes! I definitely feel like the prodigal daughter. I am grateful even when I was a far way off, Jesus ran to meet me. ❤️
Talk about the new age teachings that are creeping into our culture, shine a light in that area. This brought tears to my eyes, thanks.
God is good!
Thank you for sharing your story! Like you, I knew Jesus at a young age, but after my wife of two years had an affair and abandoned our marriage, I slowly fell into a life of substance abuse. Heroine became my idol and consumed my life. Years later, after Jesus brought me back to him, I realized he was there all along and spared my life numerous times. I'm looking forward to the plans he has for me. I pray that God uses you to bring lost people to him.
Great testamony sister!!! I grew up in a sleepy village in Trinidad and Tobago. I was born in a Christian family and i was baptized at age 12. We always believe that obeah (voodoo) will have no effect on us since we are washed in the blood of Yeshua (Jesus). When my mom passed away when i was 12, it was the darkest days of my life and i remembered seeing a plaque on our wall "Footprints".
Jesus carried me when i thought it was my footprints. The last time my mom was about to sit in the car to be taken to the hospital, she requested to sit on the other side. When asked why? She replied that Jesus is sitting on that side 🙏 ❤🙏 ❤🙏 ❤
Thank you Sharing, I was also into new age stuff until there was a point where I fell really bad into depression where I didn’t want to live anymore. I tried the crystals and everything for it to go away and I felt nothing was helping. My mom everyday does prayers with my grandma in the evenings, my mom was the only one in the family praying. I remember just felt so dirty inside and not deserving and getting out of a toxic situationship (a soul tie) that was really off and on for years. I started going to the prayers with my mom in the evenings and God really touched me, I didn’t feel deserving of his love, I can’t explain but I felt so much love and in peace and knew everything was going to be okay, for a while I didn’t feel deserving until I realize that God is not looking for perfection. And also looking back to my life God was always there protecting me and through my moms prayers for me, he was always there… He was there through my depression and this all happened in November, and threw all the new age stuff and even social media I unfollowed, all of it. I realized I was so ignorant and I didn’t know what I was doing, and realized all these new age stuff was actually not good and was causing so much harm to me. Now I feel so much peace and everything makes so much sense to me and my purpose in life…Jesus is the way, he is the truth ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing some of your journey! I'm so glad you've found true peace in Jesus! Praise God!
"Life isn't easier when you give your life to Jesus, but it's peaceful!" 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful testimony dear sister! Our hearts are restless until they rest in Him!
What a beautiful testimony! There are no coincidences when Jesus is lord of your life. Praise his holy name forever 🙏
Yep, me too! I grew up around psychics, healers, and the like and they allll told me how special I was and what I was meant to do and it was the most destructive messaging that I thought was coming from God. Praise Jesus for saving me.
Praise Jesus!
CELEBRATE THIS VICTORY! THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STORY AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE POSITIVE WAVES THIS STORY WILL BRING TO MANY!!!
Thank you so much, Julianna! I am truly grateful.
I feel really relieved that you said how new age makes it so you are god. In my moments of darkness where I was straying away from Jesus and was starting my path with new age, I felt so consumed by manifestation. I felt that since I am supposed to be my own god that every time I was in pain that I was making things worse and when I was on my knees trying to “manifest” my pain to go away, it felt so lonely because I wasn’t speaking to God, I was speaking to myself. I have been straying away from new age and have been getting back into my love and devotion for Jesus, it’s been a difficult battle, but I am on my way. (Sorry for my bad punctuation, just typing as I am speaking)
So so glad to hear that you're getting back to Jesus! It's been so much more peaceful than I ever imagined now giving my life to Him, and I pray that for you as well! ❤️ Thank you for sharing this with me!
It is challenging to quantify or compare the harm caused by different belief systems like Christianity and Shamanism throughout history. Both Christianity and Shamanism are complex and diverse belief systems with variations and interpretations across different cultures and regions.
It is important to note that any harm attributed to these belief systems is often the result of how they have been practiced and interpreted by individuals and institutions over time, rather than inherent flaws within the belief systems themselves.
Christianity, as a major world religion, has had a significant impact on history, both positive and negative. While it has inspired acts of compassion, charity, and social justice, it has also been associated with instances of violence, religious conflicts, colonization, and persecution. The Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and the Salem witch trials are examples of historical events where Christianity was used to justify harm and repression.
Shamanism, on the other hand, refers to a broad range of animistic and spiritual practices found in indigenous cultures worldwide. It is important to recognize that Shamanism is not a single, monolithic belief system, but a diverse set of practices that vary across different cultures. Shamanic traditions have played significant roles in indigenous societies, providing healing, guidance, and spiritual connections. However, it is also possible to find instances where shamanic practices have been misused or have led to harmful practices within specific contexts.
When considering the harm caused by these belief systems, it is essential to differentiate between the core principles and teachings of the belief systems themselves and the actions of individuals or institutions claiming to represent them. Both Christianity and Shamanism have adherents who have used their beliefs to promote peace, harmony, and well-being, as well as those who have twisted them for personal gain or to justify harm.
Ultimately, it is important to approach the evaluation of belief systems and their impact on history with nuance and an understanding of the complexities involved. It is unfair and inaccurate to categorically state that one belief system has caused more harm than the other without considering the historical and cultural contexts in which they have been practiced.
@@freerangemaker you are a thinking person. This is so rare on many CZcams comments. I do not have the words to express but I thank you … and I thank God.
You can do both... I do both and it has changed my life
@@SHEISMAGK yes, I agree, from my perspective, of what I have witnessed in other peopleʻs lives. There are some things, from an indigenous perspective, where the impacts of colonialism threw the baby out with the bathwater so to speak. There were vital things labelled as "demonic" and "bad" that the missionaries and colonizers simply did not understand, they were ignorant. Healing of historical trauma/cultural trauma asks for a return to some of this ancient wisdom.
Hallelujah!!! I filmed a testimony in Feb of 2020 of an older man who Jesus delivered from alcoholism after Kennedy was shot. (That date is part of his testimony...) Anyway, then the lockdown happened, and Bert was not allowed to leave his nursing home to come to Recovery. And he ended up dying in August that year with only 2 people at his funeral, because nobody even knew he was sick. It was so sad. .. But I was SOOOO glad that I had his testimony. And Bert got his wish, going to heaven. ❤️
Crying with you…thankful for the wonderful, pursuing heart of Jesus! Trusting Him for my daughter and my son - for fresh eyes, and fresh passion in Jesus. Thank you for listening, responding and sharing ❤️👍🏻
“The only way I’m going to get myself out of this darkness is through Jesus.” Amen sister! Thanks be to God that we escaped this deception! 🙌🏼🙏🏻🤍
Yes! Praise Jesus!!
Hallelujah!
Eu também estive no mais profundo abismo.
Também me envolvi com as trevas achando que era luz. Tive experiências aterrorizantes.
Mas para a glória do seu Nome e por sua misericórdia ELE me salvou.
Se ELE me salvou, pode salvar qualquer um.
Fique firme! Nunca se esqueça como era estar perdida e ser achada. O lado de lá não vai aceitar facilmente. A luta é constante.
Mas maior é aquele que está em nós do que aquele que está no mundo.
Fica em paz!
Such good news that you came out of New Age Religion and came to Christ Jesus as your Savior. Jesus power over demons is so great. May you grow in God's grace and love. Wonderful testimony.
Hallelujah, thanks for sharing! Ex-new ager to Jesus here. Raised Catholic & slipped onto a well-meaning spiritual path of deception for 25 years. The scales fell off my eyes by the grace of God when I heard Doreen Virtue denounce the new age & share the Good News. Thank you Jesus!
Wow Danie 🥹 I subscribed to you for the CZcams growth content so long ago meanwhile, I’m here as a semi new believer literally dedicated to sharing the Gospel through a fresh lens.
I was raised Catholic, turned new age -ish and then I finally found Jesus in such a beautiful way.
You’re so right, He gives healing, He gives love!
I am so here for your journey and all that you’re going to share.
Remember even if you’re not talking about Jesus you are a Christ Ambassador, let your light shine!
Amanda! So excited to hear we are sisters in Christ! “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.” -Ephesians 1:5 Your channel is so beautiful! I can’t wait to see how God uses it as well! I will be following along! ❤
Wow! Thank you for sharing! God is so amazing in the way He lets you have room to do what you like, then He calls, "Times up!" and brings you home. I am *old* but I got pretty deep into the New Age as a teen. I was already committed to the Lord, but my aunt saw that I was spiritually minded and was feeding me books about spirit guides, automatic writing, ESP, and more. The ironic thing was that she was a Sunday School teacher at a good church. I asked if this was "against the Bible". She said that it was just something "more" that most people didn't know about. As much as I tried, the things didn't work for me - but the darkness and fear enveloped me like a heavy fog. I had a sense of beings in one corner of my bedroom, but somehow, they didn't "get" me. Finally, through some clear teaching, I realized these things were dangerous and that God wanted them out of my life. He set me free from fear and darkness! I have lived for him for many years and intend to finish well!
Praise God! Thank you for sharing some of your journey!
What a beautiful testimony!! Thank you SO for sharing your journey. I'm crying tears of joy with you because of God's ever-pursuing love for us and that, if we are His, He will never let go of us, nor give up on us.
Thank you for this! I was saved out of the new age / occult about 8 months ago.
Praise God 🎉
You mean you gave into your fear. New age is not evil but the path is not for everyone
@@KimNherJourney Nope, not what I mean at all :) Satan is a counterfeit. He's crafty, not creative.
@@TaihaLee satan is only as real as you think he is the mind creates anything that it can imagine doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s real. if you think Satan looks like a pig with horns and that’s what he’s gonna look like but no one goes to hell lol heaven is a mindset
I'm so happy that you went back to Jesus I lost my way as well in the New age I'm so thankful that Jesus our Father in heaven has mercy on us and loves us that much❤
Hey Erica! I am so happy to hear that you also got out of New Age stuff! I am also so thankful Jesus has so much mercy and love!
I too traveled the new age road, well-meaning, lots of learning about being distracted, in try hard, looking to others on this new age road, and finding myself completely lonely, full of expectation of others, seeking to have some kind of inner peace, it didn't even slightly work well in my life or in others around me. I too have been chased down by Jesus with the help of Mother Mary. Deep breath in and humbled! Thank you, God, and thank you for sharing
Cause you did it wrong …. There’s nothing wrong with finding peace in being alone. You just couldn’t confront your own demons. That’s all part of the work. Best of luck to you sorry it didn’t workout !
Oh my goodness I can’t believe this. I’ve always believed in Jesus but I am currently off the righteous path. I know God is calling me back. I see signs everywhere. A couple of weeks ago I had a tarot card reading. I know it’s wrong. They have been calling, texting and emailing me talking about some ritual I need to do to heal me. Even though I’ve been ignoring them. I needed to see your video. This is conformation that I was moving further away from God. Thank you so much. My flesh is so much stronger than the spirit inside of me. Please pray for
me. So I can find the strength, courage and discipline to reject my worldly desires and return to the righteous path.
“There was a fight for my soul” I felt that. Isn’t it great to know that God never stopped fighting back for you, never got too impatient to wait for you. I have a similar story. Your testimony is beautiful. Praise God ❤
Yes. The power of the love of Jesus will always amaze me! 😭
This was a really powerful testimony, I went into the New Age as a teen but God called me to himself and eventually into the Orthodox Church. One book I found really helpful was The Young Man, the Guros and Elder Piasious.
*Elder Paisios
Orthodox church with cult of Mary and saints????,wake up to the truth!. Jesus didnt form any organisations like catholic and orthodox church that claimed lives of millions
Same here from New Age to Orthodox . Did grow up in the faith but became Orthodox on Pasca
I was meant to hear this tonight...I thank you so deeply. A lot has happened to me in the last year ( moving away from my family overseas, daughter was diagnosed with diabetes...) and I find myself drifting from reading and praying in such low states. When you spoke about making your own self a God, it hit me that I have been quenching my own desires and falling away from Him rather than leaning on Him and making time for Him. A wake up call for me. I appresciate your amazing testimony.
I'm so glad my story could be helpful! Yes, God is our rock and He has got us! He is good even when we can't feel Him. Praise Jesus!

I was watching a video of Kensington street in Philadelphia and seeing the wretched drug addicts like zombies. Suddenly my heart was opened to them. All my life I feared that God would want me to live among these people and be a Christian witness to them. But now I felt only joy at that idea. The compassion I was overwhelmed with brought just a flood of joy that is now impossible to forget.
Raised in a shaman household i had a feeling this was going to go south. Praise God that He brought you through this. God saved me too even though my up brining was perfect and filled with demons and spirits. God is good and great and more than able to save us through the valley of the shadow of death.
Wow, how did your parents react? How did it happen for you? Looking for a wisdom for myself...
Oh my goodness! I have been watching your videos constantly as I started my channel last week after being inspired by you! I love your advice and positivity especially in the 'build your own personal brand' video where your talk about sharing your story. And now you have a new story! Praise God, what a fantastic testimony! It was so beautiful to hear and this is just the beginning!
I have a similar experience after growing up in a Christian home and rejecting it until I was 30- got into mindfulness, transcendental meditation whilst living abroad, travelling and teaching. I got saved in Prague, Czech Republic- an atheist country... Long story! And it has been an amazing adventure with Jesus since that day! You have so much to look forward to, Danie!
I also discovered Think Media this week by chance and then discovered that they're also Christians!! Let's take over CZcams ;) But seriously I'd be super duper interested in any videos related to 'How to keep your faith as a content creator' I'm only one week in and already I feel the comparison, pride, envy, distraction from quiet times etc creeping in... I don't know many content creators who talk about this- doing high quality CZcams but keeping an eternal perspective. Just an idea! Anyway, I'm absolutely thrilled about this news and will go away and binge even more of your videos now.
With love from the UK 😊🇬🇧 xxx
Hey Sarah! Thank you so much for your meaningful comment! YES TO SHARING YOUR STORY! I am so grateful for the platform of CZcams! It’s amazing to hear you got saved in Prague! God is so good! I am excited for your channel! God is truly good!
I’m tearing up right with you sister, GOD IS SOOOO GOOD!! I walked away because of church hurt too but GOD in his goodness snd mercy pursued me until I bent my knees. Forever grateful for him and will stop talking about JESUS! May he continue to bless and guide you my sister. Many will come to the Kingdom through the seeds you have and will sow!
Ahh your comment made me tear up! I’m so happy that you found your way back to Jesus as well! God is so good and merciful. May our stories help plant many seeds! Sending you so much love!
Beautiful. Thank you. I just came back from 20 years of Buddhism. So happy to be home.
Praise Jesus! I’m sure that was quite a journey!
I also lived in Vietnam and got really messed up. Long story short, Jesus found me when my sins nearly killed me or worse. I'm also a musician and also thinking of moving to Tennessee. It seems we have a ton of things in common. Thanks for sharing your testimony 🙏 love.
