As you know I have posted many testimonies. This is a very important one.

******************************************************************************************
My name is Donna and I am Bipolar. About 10 years ago my physician had me on 13 pills a day. The more I took the worse I became. I don’t think my third eye opened but I was psychotic and at times felt like I floated out of my body. Looking back I was absolutely tortured by demons.
Once I felt like two people, one being the real me and the other out to kill me. I did not want to die of course. I was on the end of the couch and for some reason I new this “other me” or demon was coming in for the kill. I knew it was about to overtake “me” and kill me. I called my mother and screamed, “please come over now!!!! I am going to die!!!” My entire family came over and I had clumps of hair in my hands and bald spots on my head. My best friend was there and said my face was so twisted and blue it did not even look like me! She was scared to get close to me and stood by the door. I began clawing my face and for whatever reason started screaming for my father to get on his knees and apologize. My father would not. I began clawing harder and blood was streaming down my face, and my mother was screaming at my dad.. “Don’t just do it” Looking back my father looked so humiliated on the floor saying he is sorry. HORRIBLE, I cant believe it. It was like I was possessed and this demon was holding me hostage.
Finally my parents grabbed me, put me in the car, and fought me all the way to the hospital. I hit the doctor, pulled my IV out and finally ended up in four point restraint. Not many months after that, I was walking through the house when everyone was asleep and IT came over me to kill myself, a complete peace came over me I haven’t felt in ages, like an Egyptian, I prepared my body bathing, oils, and perfume, sat down at the kitchen table and began swallowing pills. I was happy! The next morning my husband found me on the floor blue. 3 days in ICU they said I would not make it, and by the grace of God I woke up!
I have been plagued by demons, alcoholic, and show signs of psychic abilities, and out of body experience.
I love the Lord with all my heart and I am off all meds now and I am much better. I still struggle with alcohol, please pray. I know for certain the third eye is a demonic doorway. People that take dmt immediately see geometry, snakes, dragons, and aliens. Aliens are demons posing as if they are from another “universe.”
Alister Crowleys’ “ascended master” was an alien and he drew a picture of it, it is an alien. God said in the end times peoples hearts would fail (heart attack) them when they look in the sky. I believe it will be UFOs covering the sky, their message, “we are your creators, we are back to EVOLVE YOU to the next level.”
The rapture will be explained by saying they cleansed the earth from the backward thinking individuals so the rest can evolve to the next level. On you tube new agers all over the place have said their ascended master (demons) have told them they are from Sirius, Pleiadies, Orion, and they are their creator “creative intelligent creator” and the “Great Awakening has already begun.” I know it sounds crazy but look at the History channel, ALL about UFOs. The Vatican has already put out the anouncement if aliens show up remember they are our BROTHERS! Go ahead goggle it, Vatican Aliens, It was on Fox News, CNN, everywhere this past May. Crazy!

Mithrasb,
I think you may be referring to a different post than this one. But I will address your comment.
I too have studied the religions, although not formally. I grew up in the Christian faith but fell away for many years, thinking that surely there must be other ways to God. What a futile search that was. I fell into much sin.
The other religions never truly address man’s sin and how to escape damnation. Only Jesus, came as a Saviour and shed his blood so that our sin could be forgiven. How otherwise can a person someday stand in front of God who is Holy? He can’t. How can God who is pure, true, tolerate such uncleaness in His presence. He can’t. One has to seek forgiveness of sin through Jesus, and turn away from it.
Eastern meditation empties man’s mind so that a spirit can fill the void. This void is filled with a seduction that man can be enlightened and divine.
Personally I reject the false gods of the world and live for Jesus Christ who is the Son of God.
HELLO???…..yes doctors are just human, but this is no reason for what the medical profession has done to the unsuspecting public. They are prescribing drugs that alter the mind and affect the pineal gland. Eli-Lilly who makes many anti-depressant drugs made LSD for the government. The dangers are the same.
I admire Donna’s faith in the Lord, which helped her through such a traumatic experience. It takes courage to tell ones story of deliverance from occult influences, whether they are caused by drugs or by false spiritual invitation.

sorry for the wrong post, Kim I Admire your faith and proud of you for it, I recommend, The 5 gospels: What did Jesus really say, by Funk and Hoover you should read the scholar version, Its a great read. I have a question if we live in an unperfect world Then God can’t be perfect. And if we were created in the Image of God, then we as humans when we walk by the homeless and destitute should see them as in the image of God and if we saw them in the Image of God they would not be homeless or destitute because how can we leave a human who is in the Image of God homeless, and as with my other statement then God can’t be perfect because we are not perfect, look at birth defects. thank you and your great Post mithrasb

Hi mithrasb,
When we go to the Holy Bible we learn who God is.
1. John 4:24; Exodus 15:11; Psalm 139: 1-16 2. Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2
God is an uncreated Spirit who has no limits. He can do everything, know everything and is perfectly good. He does not need anyone or anything to be complete.(1) God exists eternally as a Trinity, one God in three Persons — the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2) who created everything that exists.
The reason why we have so much grief and poverty in this world is that this is a fallen and sinful world. God is perfect but Adam and Eve rebelled in the Garden of Eden and so now we have an imperfect world. But God never changes.
God did make man in his image but since man fell out of grace it is most difficult know Him, and reject the ways of the world. So what happens is that men rebel and blame God instead of themselves.
1. Romans 3:10-11 2. Psalms 19:7-9; 119:105; 2 Timothy 3:15; Hebrews 4:12
Since I am a sinner, I cannot know God by myself. (1) The only clear and saving knowledge of God comes from the written revelation of the Holy Scriptures. (2)
Man’s pride causes him to reject his position as a sinner and therefore is lost. This is why so many are enticed into New Age thought that they are divine….this is also why i reject much of what the world says in their unholy books. God reveals himself in the Bible, and once you believe in Jesus Christ and His shed blood, the Holy Spirit illumines the Word and changes your life.
I think this is what is so different about true followers of Christ. We grieve over our sin. I pray that my sin is shown to me so that I can pray for forgiveness. I am most imperfect that is why i need Jesus.

I like this site CARM Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry.
http://www.carm.org/bible/jedp_b.htm
Here is a portion of the above article.
There are many secular critics of the Bible.
I like this basic truth about the Bible and here are the supporting verses.
Psalm 119:96, 138, 160; John 10:35; Romans 7:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Holy Scriptures are true in all that they teach. They are inerrant (have no mistakes) and infallible (cannot be wrong) because they are inspired by God.

Look To God
why did this turn into a debate?
they woman was giving testimony about the demonic experiences she encountered.
Further giving glory to God for her deliverance from the forces of darkness!
instead of trying to find fault with it, her and someone else’s mis-interpretation of scripture.
note that she was trying to bring to light the truth that most people think don’t even exists.
spiritual warfare is real!
if JESUS and he disciples encountered demons and satan what makes you think that they are not?
was their any part any the BIBLE that GOD says the devil is a myth?
or that spiritual wickedness is not so?
when you have people that tell you these things occurred and are real!
seek out the truth and stop being skeptics…
God’s Word is true!
As Christians Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ plainly says!
we wrestle not with flesh and blood… but with the rulers of darkness in high places.
did Paul, recognize the forces of evil, as did the disciples and the LORD JESUS! if they were not real or did not exist you as a believer in God would not have the bible to tell you of it…
get delivered from rejecting the truth,
God is not a liar!
when he says in his word that something is in existence and is against those who believe on his Son and all the things written in the book of the law which is the word of God are given to you so that you may have instruction and be not ignorant.
read the Bible and ask God for understanding of it so that it be not mis-interpreted.

Thank you Look To God, I just want to get out the word that many people in the world just don’t understand they are inviting demons to influence their thinking. My niece is into Buddism and it pains me to see her meditating and emptying her mind to allow spirits to enter. The Bible states we are to ” take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:4-6
On the same note, when we are under the influence of drugs and alcohol our mind is open to spirits just like when one is empting their mind in meditation. I want to expose the ways demonic spirits invade our mind through the things we do and we are not guarding our thoughts and bringing them obedient to Christ.
Some people don’t understand why they are depressed
(oppressed) and go back to the doctor to get a stronger dose of an antidepressent and they are only opening the door wider to the spirit realm.
November 3, 2008 at 8:23 am
Kim
Yes, this thread did get hijacked, forgive me for allowing it, and i am glad to see it back to Donna’s story.
She also added some very new important aspects. I have done some research and found that many people who “open themselves up” whether by drugs or accepting a false spirit by allowing themselves to be “anointed” experience depression. This pattern has become evident. The medical profession is only to happy to accomodate people with more drugs that only make the problem worse.

Okay now i am thinking back to when i was 16. My girlfriend and I played with Ouija board, contacted a spirit, and then shortly after this experience we saw a UFO. Only a few people know this story. I now know that we invited it and i believe it was a demonic illusion.
Also for one year, i was a very depressed teenager after the contact with the evil spirit.

Hi Donna,
Thank you for your testimony. I appreciate your being will to share such difficult experiences.
I wonder if you could clarify something for me that I don’t quite understand from what you have said. At the start of your article you stated that you didn’t believe that your third eye was opened. Then later you state that you know for sure that the third eye is a demonic doorway. Are you saying that by the end of your experiences you do believe your third eye was opened? Or how did you come to the conclusion that it is indeed a demonic doorway?
Thanks again for sharing something that a lot of people have no idea of. God bless you.

Kim,
You mentioned that you know of many people becoming depressed after receiving the “anointing”. Do you have links or other references for that? I don’t doubt the truth of your statement at all. The reason I am asking is that I have a friend that deals with a lot of depression. She has been in the middle of all of the third wave stuff and just recently has started to do a lot of questioning about the validity of many things. I will be seeing her soon and would like to be able to point her to references to these cases of depression if I could. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi Cheryl,
I am sorry if I was unclear. I believe that my third eye was starting to open. It began with grandiose thinking. Thinking I was special and interpreting the Bible deeper than most, believing I knew what people were thinking, clairvoyance type thinking. At one point the “extra sharp clear thinking” turned on me and started wearing me out! Thoughts were coming too fast and a lot of the thoughts were condemning and bringing up the past. Demonic oppression.
This I believe was the beginning of the third eye opening. Not yet seeing auras and seeing “ascended masters” demons.
As I started looking into false religions I noticed a common thread was the third eye, Egyptian’s symbol the headress with the snake coming out the forehead, dot on hindu, buddist, kabbalah, all working the chakras and getting enlightenment and speaking with “asended masters” and the such. Others like the Shaman open their third eye with hallucenigens, they too see the same beings telling them the same things. They all see snakes, dragons (God calls satan these names). When
the third eye is open to the point they are talking to se demons, the message is always the same things “you are all gods, and god is in everything” New age junk. When I was a teenager my bother experimented with acid and mushrooms, he has stated he talked to shiny people and he would get revelations about life from them but he began having “bad trips” and quit. I think that anything that changes your conciousness (drugs chanting meditation ect) it is like putting on infra red glasses into the spirit world. Very scary to me.
November 3, 2008 at 1:01 pm
cheryl U.
Thanks for your clarification Donna. I wish more of the Christian world would realize what you learned the hard way. The whole third wave anointing thing and the new push that is becoming so prevalent, contemplative prayer, are all big concerns to me.
November 3, 2008 at 1:50 pm
donna
Cheryl,
If you notice in the third wave anointing kind of church how they sway and chant the same words over and over and over until they are numb, this is hypnotic and alters their conciousness ,their mind is ready to receive unkind spirits. Remember satan can come as and angel of light. These poor people really believe they are getting a divine message from God. The experience is so awesome to them if the message does not line up with scripture, they just think it is a special message just for them. So decieved!!

Cheryl,
I have read many accounts of depression resulting from false spiritual experiences. Some are downright occultic, and others occur from being “slain”, false tongues, spirit transference.
Most of the cases are found in books by Kurt Koch, the writings of Ernest Rockstad, and of course Jesse Penn-Lewis. Kurt Koch in his books Occult Bondage and Deliverance, and Christian Counseling and Occultism, document over 200 cases. There is much excess in some deliverance ministries and i am wary of many of them.
Not all of the cases mention depression, but i found the occurance of depression or mental problems staggering.

Kim as you know I have been in deliverance for 25 years and can testify that many of the people who have come to me for spiritual help have been involved in the Pentecostal Churches.
Being slain in the spirit opens a doorway for demon spirits. In every instance in the Word where the Power or Glory of God has been revealed to man they fall forward on their faces.
There is much depression associated with the false spiritual anointing as it is a constant battle to live on an emotional high produced by the the worship {repetitive choruses, etc}. Not all depression is demonic but Satan often mixes the demonic with the emotional. Instead of having a solid spiritual walk built upon the hearing of the Word, daily Bible Studies and prayer they depend on their fix of emotionalism.
Instead of FACTS-FAITH-FEELINGS They have
FEELINGS- FACTS-FAITH
They have the cart before the horse as it were.
AS you said Jessie Penn Lewis and Evan Roberts wrote WAR ON THE SAINTS to combat the false workings of evil spirits that manifested along side the true manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the Welsh Revival of 1904.
Every Christian should have an unabridged copy in their library.
Keep up the excellent work.

Soterios
There are many types of meditation and it is mentioned many times in the bible. We can be contemplative, or simply be in a state of not-doing.
Meditations which encourages the passivity of mind, is the dangerous practice, as it allows evil to enter the soul with greater ease. When the lazy mind is unable to grasp what is dangled in it, then “grounds” are easily obtained for further demonic footholds to be established.
For a christian I would recommend a meditation which harnesses the full faculties of mind in a way that exercises the mind and allows it to become a stronger muscle.
November 5, 2008 at 8:16 am
cheryl U.
Soterios,
I agree with you completely on meditation. The kind spoken of in the Bible where the mind is fully engaged is great. It is the other kind, where the mind is passive or “emptied” that causes the problem. And that is where the danger lies in contemplative prayer as it is often promoted and practiced.

drug problem
Alcohol drinking can cause a person to see things that are not suppose to be real. Maybe those things are hallucination whatsoever. These things that you are experiencing right now might be products of alcoholism. The best advice to give you is to stop consuming alcohol in order for the bad experiences to stop.

Everything is energy in Gods creation. Energy vibrates with other energies in harmony or discord. That is all that exists in Gods creation, energy. Demonic forces represent discord and disharmony, angelic forces represent harmony and unity with the Flow of All. Our energetic distortions are the cause for all of our pains and the science of salvation is rather simple.
When we meditate, we are setting up a conscious attempt to align our eneries with those of the greater energetic cosmos. The resistors to harmony take on many forms, and those forms are very often created by the persons beliefs and indoctrinations during their formative years as children.
These resistors to harmony can be in the form of demonic attacks due to the entry allowed by the weakness of the persons consciousness due to their unbalanced energy system, the body/mind/spirit complex, and the preconcieved ideas of the possibilities of attack.
Because God is everything, it must be accepted that the disharmonious agents are part of Him as well. This is the hard part for us to understand, but when we do, we realise that all in Creation work for and are part of God.
Our task is to align as much as possible with positively harmonizing energies so that we can merge seemlessly with the Flow of Creation so as to best serve Our Creator in the most efficient manner.
We have been endowed with great power by our Creator, but we have been most confused by the resistors of harmony. This power can be accessed and tapped into through meditation and the constant work to align every aspect of our lives with love and light.
The greatest sin that we live in is that we believe that we live in sin. Their is no sin, their is only harmony or discord with the Creative Flow. It is each created beings responsibility to learn the best way that they can connect personally to the Source, and to dislocate themselves from the damage that has been caused by the resistors of Harmony for the past 2000 years odd.
If people feel that meditation is dangerous and allows evil in, then it is only because these people believe that can it occur. There is no more sacred act in Creation than the conscious effort to Connect with The Father through Prayer and meditation.
The very effective technique to protect ones self from these nasty disharmonious parasites is to make a request directly to the Creator to surround your energyfield with a protective shield of light. Not only does this shield of light protect ones being from attack, it also does some healing, and therefore should be practiced by everyone all the time, whether afraid of demonic attack or not.
Never be afraid to connect to your Source, go boldly and do not let the agents of confusion and darkness be the hurdle that prevents your home coming, for we are the children of the Light.
January 9, 2010 at 6:20 am
Kim
Ryan,
Are you a “Secret” fan or involved with ACIM? You sound like you are parroting their ungodly theories.
You cannot connect with Father by paranormal means or by eastern meditation. It is form of divination and it is forbidden in the Bible.
Parasites is a pretty mild term for agents of the demonic world.
The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ. John 14: 6 says.
I am the way, the truth and the life. No come to the Father except through me.
Only Jesus is the light. 2 Corinthians 11:14 gives us this warning for a purpose. “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”
Only Satan tells us that there is no sin in us and you are endangering your very soul, by believing the lies you have just commented.
Many have told me that when going into a deeper level of meditation fear often arises. That is why those who deeply meditate into emptiness, are so greatly preoccupied with fear. The misconception is that this fear needs to be overcome. On the contrary it is a warning from God that you are trespassing into a world you have no business entering.
January 15, 2010 at 1:20 am
ryan
Hi there
No, I have no idea who ACIM are at all. The concept I am trying to get across is the omnipotence of God. Too many people limit their ideas of the story of creation to one little fleeting age of time within the great infinite creation.
I accept all religions and philosophies with the attitude that there is a degree of truth in everything, but nothing is completely true, as far as material teachings go.
The creation, of which we are a part, is so much more vast than we are able to comprehend, and the Creator whom is responsible for everything that goes on within His creation is even more vast and complex. You have to agree on this. We can no longer say that what science says is the devils delusion. The universe is vast beyond comprehension and the same God is responsible for all of the galaxies and trillions of star systems throughout the universe.
Our planet and star system is one of 200 billion others in our galaxy alone. There are billions of galaxies, each one with hundreds of billions of stars, and each star has the very real potential for planetary life forms.
These are scientific facts and merely show how absolutely awesome God is in His ability to create effortlessly on such a vast scale. He tells us in as many ways as possible that He is everywhere and aware of everything, in fact He says that nothing happens in the universe unless He thinks it first. In otherwords, it goes to define the omnipotence of the Prime Creator, does it not. The more we learn about the universe, the grander our view of The Creator must get.
Yet, learning as we are of the size and complexity of the outer creation with all its marvels and mysteries, all the great representitives of the Creator have all said that the kingdom/dimension we seek is within us, pointing very profoundly to the concept that within our consciousness lies an even vaster creation of existence, does it not? For is not the heavenly dimension eternal as well?
The angle I am trying to discuss is the sadness I feel that so many dear and sincere seekers have limited themselves to understanding this eternally mysterious and amazing creation through a single book or teaching. How can infinite wisdom and love be contained within a single planet of a handful of teachings by an even fewer number of finite beings? Please tell me how?
Our picture of reality and our understanding of The Creator can only grow and evolve if we include in our understanding all the teachings available to us. For, once again I repeat this concept, if God is everything, as omnipotence implies, surely everything has a degree of truth to it.
I have some questions for you that I feel are important for any one following the path of Christianity should ask themselves:
How can God forsake more than half of all people who live and even more who have lived, because they were born on the other side of the world and have not been exposed to the Bible?
How, or why, would the omnipotent infinite Creator limit Himself to just one way for His children to come home, and why if He gave them birth on the otherside of the world where the bible had not reached, would he then condemn them to an eternity of fire?
And what of the millions born and died before the compilation of the bible in 325 at the council of Nicea? Were they doomed because God gave them life before the Bible was compiled?
And what of the 56 books that did not get included in the Bible, but which were just as widely studied by the followers of Jesus and The Creator before the formation of the Church.
These are important questions. Too many on earth for too long have dangerously believed too wholeheartedly that they have the only version of the truth, because they have been brainwashed into believing they do. Without even doing exploratory investigations themselves, they claim to know that the rest of the worlds people are wrong, deluded, controlled by evil, not worthy of life and dammned to eternal fire.
These are the very conditions of delusion that they themselves claim others suffer from.
We will only make progress when we see all as the children of the Prime Creator. By all I really mean all. All of creation, all the seemingly infinite galaxies with all the uncountable beings throughout. There is only One Creator, and everything that is abound is His creation.
We must expand our awareness to encompass more of the Creator, and the unity that exists between everyone of us. We are all of the same family.
We all have the God given right to follow which ever path we choose, for this is the gift of free will, and therefore it is our right/ability to judge others for the path that they choose. But believe me, the time will come when you will also see the unity in everyting and the futility in trying to push the fact that your path is the only path. On the higher level all paths ultimately lead souls back home.
I admire your knowledge of Our Fathers Holy Bible. Admirable too is one who has equal knowledge of the Jewish, Islamic, Indian, Chinese, Celtic, Native American, Sumerian, Egyptian teachings and philosophies, including all other sources of information that lend one a greater understanding of reality. For information is but a tool, and the more tools we have the easier it is to build our ship that will weather the storms and get us to the other side safely. That we will get to the other side is a certainty, what slows our progress is the judgement/seperation we build between us.
Expand into the playground Our Father created for us to explore/learn, and have fun for Heavens Sake! Its not doom and gloom, its glory, wonder, love and light.
Go in peace/love/light

Paul
hello Ryan, thankyou for taking the time to write very sincere questions. I will try to answer some of them and perhaps others more lerned than me ( not difficut really! ) can take a shot at some of the others as i would be spending my whole day trying to answer all of your questions by myself and the quality of my answers may not do justice to the nature of the questions. So here goes with an easy one.
Ryans Question
“How, or why, would the omnipotent infinite Creator limit Himself to just one way for His children to come home, and why if He gave them birth on the otherside of the world where the bible had not reached, would he then condemn them to an eternity of fire?”
My answer
Mankind did not start off with various and sundry views of God. It started with an intimate it understanding of a God who walked in the garden with the forefather of all men, Adam. Man in essence knew God but because of mans sinfulness could not approach Him as he once had in the garden of Eden. This did not totally cause man to forget about the lord God almighty for we see that even Cain who killed his brother knew who God was. The scripture says of the first men upon the face of the earth
Genesis 4:26B ……. then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
So the knowledge of God existed and the turning to false gods which the bible calls demons ( evil unclean spirits) did not happen out of ignorance but stemmed from rebellion. In Genesis Chapter 3 God had delivered a promise of hope that would arrive one day in the future. Early man knew salvation that would come in its proper time.
Gen 3:10-19 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
The mystery is not why would God not save everyone but why would God save anyone? Man by his sinfulness does not have any inherrent right to salvation but to death and destruction. That God chose to save as many as would call upon his name in repentance and faith in His only begotten Son Jesus Christ is an absolute act of mercy and grace on God’s part as we all deserve to a man the opposite and that is His wrath and judgement because of our disobedience.
To answer the question in a very short form I would say that truth by its nature is exclusive to any and all contrary concepts. The One Way of salvation that God has chosen is the way of truth and thus any other way to God different from the way of truth that God himself has decreed cannot bring any man to God or salvation. Actually it is an insult to the plan that God created and the Work or words of the Lord Jesus both from his life teaching and His redemptive work upon the cross.
Jesus, the One true christians worship as God said this.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
For the Christian to deny this finishes our Christianity. We believe that this Jesus is God in the flesh, infallable in all he says and does. As He has declared that He alone is the way to God and there is no other way and as He demonstrated his Godship by rising from the dead from beyond the grave we believe him.
In short if Jesus or the scripture taught us that there was more than one way to God we would believe it but alas it does not and so we bind ourselves to the teaching of God through His Holy Word.
He gave men birth on the far side of the world because it was his good pleasure to do so. Mans condemnation to eternal hell is not dependant upon what nation he or she were born in but upon their sinful wicked hearts and wicked actions. The scripture teaches that God will judge men according to their deeds or works.
Rev 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Rev 20:12-15 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
God’s call unto men is universal and that is one of repenting from our evil and believing upon His Son the Lord Jesus Christ
Paul the apostle stood up at the Areopagus in Athens almost 2000 years ago and called Hellenistic Greeks as well as Jews to do this.
Acts 17:29-31 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Ryan as Christians we believe that it is the same call that goes forth today.
I hope that helps answer the one question that I took a stab at.

Hi Kim et al. Despite not blogging in a long time, I still check updates out often as it’s encouraging to see your steadfastness. I just wanted to respond to Ryan briefly here.
Firstly, we need to clear up a few definitions. Omnipotence is a condition of God whereby He has unlimited power. You wrote “if God is everything, as omnipotence implies…” and what you are talking about is not a character or condition of God, but rather a distinct worldview called pantheism. The difference is of upmost importance to what I want to share with you next.
You wrote “all the great representitives of the Creator have all said that the kingdom/dimension we seek is within us”. Indeed, many have preached this message, but I wish to show you that this is directly opposed to the message of Jesus Christ. To keep things simple, I wish to provide you with two allegories that will hopefully illustrate how opposed the two messages are.
The Kingdom you worship: Dormant within every human being is a mystical kingdom. We’re all vaguely aware that it is there, but we have forgotten about it. Or we have become removed from it because of suffering, bad karma, or mere indolence. Through some uniquely energizing and refreshing set of circumstances, we gain awareness of this internal kingdom, and we treasure it because it holds more worth and importance than anything else. For what is seen in this kingdom is beautiful, harmonious, peaceful, and full of light. After habituating within this kingdom, certain realizations will nearly always come about. A deep and seductive sense of connection with the entire universe is very common, after which a love and admiration for all things is irresistible. Flowing out of this lovely experience is the profound impression that this encounter has been preciously sacred; perhaps even an encounter with the divine. After repeated indulgence of the peaceful bliss found in this inner kingdom, it is becomes transparently obvious that God is all, or perhaps that all is in God. This draws out the deepest and most profoundly freeing understanding of all– that you have just remembered or encountered your own personal divinity. Should there be a throne within the kingdom, you have just reclaimed your title as master and commander of the kingdom. Although this is just the beginning of the journey within the inner mystical, these realizations are the undercurrents that guide and direct the remainder of your journey towards what you assume is self-liberation and eventual salvation.
The King we worship: Lying dormant within every human being is a realm, a kingdom perhaps. At first glance, this kingdom of soul, spirit, and heart appears to be a gorgeous vineyard, with a king’s chamber and throne eloquently seated within the kingdom. This garden is pretty good for the most part, nearly perfect in fact. It’s a creative and inspirational realm, full of potential to do good for humanity. Most confusing however, is that when I’m really honest with myself, there are some ugly weeds in the perfectly manicured garden beds, strewn amongst the beautiful flowers. Maybe I’ll just try pulling the weeds out. There, that seemed to work, the garden is all cleaned up and looking beautiful again. But wait a second; the weeds are already starting to grow back. And upon closer inspection, what I thought was lilies, actually turns out to be that blasted dandelion weed. The bushes and hedges I thought were neatly trimmed are actually haggard and prickly. Somewhere in the tall and irritating allergy grass that I’d rather forget about, I remember seeing a book called the Word of God. Opening it up, I see that it is like an operator’s manual for my messy garden. The Word of God describes the garden in such immaculate detail, almost like someone laid a blue print for this garden. About two thirds of the way through the book, I encounter that there is indeed someone who did lay a blue print for the garden, and His name is Jesus. At this time, Jesus approaches me, and I’m vainly trying to repair the garden. I work more fervently now, because I after reading the book, I’m keenly aware that death reigns in this garden. He sees me in the worst condition, and frankly it’s an embarrassing mess. And I’m covered with the futile blood, sweat and tears I’ve shed in trying to restore this garden. But with the kindest of eyes, He shows me how He has died to remove the penalty of death from my garden. He offers to fully restore my garden, and immediately I fall down weeping at his feet. A deep and cleansing realization sets in. Up until now, I have been firmly seated upon the kingly throne of my inner garden, but I can’t go on this way anymore. I turn the throne over to Jesus, to be the reigning King of my kingdom. The transformation that takes place in my garden starts to pour outwards into all of my being. A lasting peace comes about, and I know joy in all circumstances. His undeserved grace has brought Salvation to my soul.
Ryan, I ask that you soberly consider 2 Corinthians 11:14 which says: “and no wonder, for Satan masquerades as an angel of light”. You have described your kingdom as being “light” – and there is no coincidence here. I know your kingdom intimately, because I once lived in it. It is a false and seductive kingdom of death.

Thank you all for your concern, I know why you say these things and I agree from your perspective wholeheartedly, as I would do the same if I were you, which I am.
However, I cannot overstress the importance of the additional information found in the 56 books of the Nag Hammadi Scrolls.
I shall not interfere with your free will any further.
Go in peace/love/light

The Nag Hammadi Scrolls are considered Gnostic, or Kabbalistic and were rejected. The following excerpts are from

IT'S ALIEMONIC
There are thousands of others who have had the same experiences as you and have come to the same conclusion. Check out curs-ed net radio online and CE4 research. I am one of them. I began occult practices because they actually began to work yet I opened a door to the demonic 030109 I was pulled off my bed by a black shadowy demonic figure. Recently I had given my life to Christ and it was apparent that it was angry with me for not continuing down the same path to Hell as it was. I now know without any doubt that Jesus was the son of God (God in the flesh) who suffered the wrath man deserves and rose again from the dead. Without him we are left only with pathetic bribes towards a Holy God on judgment day.

Hello Kim,
I have been researching what it means to dream about a third eye and I came across your post. See, I am Christian too and believe God speaks through us through our dreams. Over the past couple of years I dreamed twice that someone kidnapped my son. The kidnap simply could be symbolic for something else, but I did understand it was a warning. My mother prayed with me to ask God to protect my future children. I thought maybe it was ok now but then a few days ago my fiance dreamed he was carrying our baby boy when he accidently dropped him. When he picked him up he saw there was a cut on our babies little cheek and then as the baby blinked its eyes open, the cut also opened into a third eye!!! It freaked out my fiance so much he told me he could not sleep or eat and he had shivers all day. I know there is meaning in the baby being dropped and the third eye and that we both dreamed of a baby boy. I am now terrified for my childs life and he is not even born yet!! Please, if you could offer some insight of what it may mean, others too are welcome to comment as well or simply just help us pray. I am trying to understand God’s warnings. A warning means I can change things but I dont know how. I dont want to know harm came to my child when I could have stopped it.

Bek,
I went to a book that I have called “War on the Saints”. It classifies dreams in three categories. Human, divine or satanic. Let’s rule out human. Divine dreams should leave a person, “normal, calm, reasonable with an open and clear mind.” While the latter source leaves, “mystery, absurdity, emptiness, folly, etc.’
I would say that the last dream may be satanic in nature. The first ones could be a warning from God. A third eye concept is occultic in nature.
I don’t know your background so things you may have to think about are:
1. Are you dabbling with new-age ideas, yoga eastern meditation, or reading books from Oprah or Eckhart Tolle, (new age philosophy)?
2. Do you attend a church that promotes an anointing, teaches word-of faith, focuses heavily on healings, or has manifestations?
3. Do you drink alcohol, take recreational drugs or use anti-depressants?
Please do not be offended. I am just making lists of things that open you up to the metaphysical realm. If so God may be warning you.
These are things that we would have to repent of.
But as a Christian our line of defense is the Word of God and Prayer. I went through a period of heavy oppression created by anti-depressants. At night before sleep I would pray through Ephesians 6. I would pray and ask the Lord to protect my sleep and I would reject anything from the evil one. Remember there is no magic formula, but it says that if we resist Satan he will flee from us. I also had to refuse any false teachings. One day I burnt my notes outside on the patio that contained things I thought were prophetic. When I burnt them, God saw that I was truly turning away from what was false and the dreams and night manifestations stopped.
The third eye is just a false belief system based on hinduism and enlightenment.
Just stay in the Bible and pray. I look forward to see what others may offer as suggestions.
God be with you…please email me if you like,

For everyone who loves every religion… you must then call Jesus a liar… How could you then, love Christianity…
December 30, 2011 at 7:21 am
Kim
The first part of your statement is very true…for Jesus said as recorded by John in chapter 14 verse 6, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Luke wrote in the book of Acts 4:12, “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Timothy writes, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
So this means that all other religions are false and to love other religions is to not believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the anointed one, the one savior of sinful man.
To love Christianity is to love Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for us. I can try to be a good person for we all try in this manner, but the truth is that even though we know good from evil we still sin. We still take what does not belong to us, we still have the most unkinds thoughts of others, we look upon others and things with lust, things that are untrue come spilling from our mouths.
These things break the commandments and mean that we cannot stand before a holy God on judgement day which is sure to come. Jesus came to pay that penalty because we are all guilty.
To believe what Jesus did on the cross and to follow Him is the way to eternal life. I love Jesus Christ and what He did for me. I didn’t deserve his forgiveness, but He offers it if you walk in faith.
Jesus taught that His way was narrow as recorded by Matthew in chapter 7. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.”
This is what we see today…the attempt to join all religions as one. Interfaith is the buzz word, but it is truly what is recorded in scripture as prophecy that many will fall away from the true faith to the detriment to their eternal soul.
I love Jesus Christ and how He changed my life. Self-help strategies never truly work..only the saving power of the Holy Spirit which the believer receives upon picking up the cross of Jesus.

Cherie
Hello there, I recently had my third eye opened when I watched a video a friend showed me, please is there anyway it can close, I’m very frightened that something may happen.
April 28, 2012 at 8:09 am
Kim
Hi Cherie….a few questions….
What was the video about?
Just watching shouldn’t harm you, unless you were open to any suggestions it was making.
What happened to you to make you think that a third eye was opened?
You usually have to follow some meditation ritual that makes you totally passive and open. If you did this, then you may have invited a spiritual deception. If so you need to reject it and completely stop what you are doing.
Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ?

Kim,
This is not the post that I wanted to reply to, but it would not allow me to reply to the “Opening the Third Eye” post so it will suffice. 🙂 Thank you for your informative posts on the subject. I found your blog site through a google search using the terms “Eastern Meditation and Third Eye and Christianity.” I have been quite grieved over the past several years as I have watched my brother, who is 21 years old, descend slowly into what I feel to be a very dark, demonic abyss of New Age mysticism. We were both born and raised in the Catholic tradition, but I left Catholicism in college and converted to Protestantism. For years, I had discussions with my brother about how salvation was by faith in Jesus and how none of our works could do anything to merit grace with God. He seemed to understand it over time and I was very pleased when he accepted Christ at an altar call following a service at my church several years ago. However, there was something about it that did not quite give me peace and I couldn’t quite understand why I had a sort of forboding sense about the experience shortly after.
In the years since, I have not seen his confession yield any outwardly evident fruit in terms of desiring Bible Study, seeking out fellowship with Christians or discussion of God/ theology etc. Quite the opposite, what I have seen (in bits and pieces from things he has posted on facebook; he is not open about it with me, because he knows my disaproval) is an increasing fascination with new age mysticism and occultism (even while he still considers himself a “Christian”). It must first be said about my brother, that he is a musician and is quite in touch with the Spiritual aspects of musical art. His favorite band, “Tool”, openly promotes Eastern Meditation practices with many of its followers being interested in Ancient Geometry, and Gaya theory etc. All attempts on my part to warn him of the dangers of New Age mysticism (which despite its name is really nothing new- it is the same Old Occultism just repackaged) have been met with avoidance and defense. I fear that I am only pushing him further away from the true light and feel quite helpless to do anything for him at this point except to pray.
I don’t know why some people feel the need to “deny [themselves] nothing under the sun.” I am sure, no doubt, that he thinks that I am a throwback from a different generation, an era of ignorance, before modern enlightenment. I am sure that he thinks I am close minded. In fact, it is true. I am quite close minded about certain things, because I believe that one ought not “open their mind” to just anything. Our choices have consequences and even though God can deliver us from bondage to the demonic and occult, I have no doubt that those who have experienced such deliverance and been healed, still bear scars that they will never forget. I am sure any one of them would say if they could turn back the clock that they would now altogether avoid dabbling in the occult.
Yesterday, he posted to facebook that he has been having panic attacks associated with florescent lighting. In the same day, he also posted that he needed to spend some time meditating to “open his third eye.” I plan to send him a loving and desperate letter, pleading with him to stop going down the path that he is on and to pray to God for discernment considering his influences (whether they are of the Spirit, or the demonic). I plan to include some information from your site and will also seek out other testimonials from those who have been afflicted with demonic warfare after having delved into the occult. Any help or wisdom that you could provide a grieving and concerned older brother would be much appreciated. As for me, I know that when I was his age, I went through a brief period of curiosity concerning hypnotism. I hope maybe this is just a similar phase for him and that “it too shall pass,” but its still hard to watch and be completely helpless to do anything to immediately affect the situation.

Hi zc..
I love your concern for your brother and you show much wisdom in your thoughts.
One thing I have discovered from my own experience and others is that when you come to the Lord as a new believer, one may be in for the spiritual battle of their life. Some find instant deliverance, some struggle.
I am remembering a book I have called, “Running Against the Wind” by Brian Flynn. He was trained in TM and was in constant contact with his spirit guides. He gave his life to the Lord and accepted Jesus as Savior but this did not instantly relieve him of his contact with the demons. They said things like, you can’t be a Christian, you don’t want to give up this lifestyle…etc.
Brian realized that the demons hated Jesus and did not want him to become a Christian. This is what really exposed the demons and then he was set free. To propose that he may have completely change his lifestyle may be too overwhelming at first.
It seems as though your brother is still under demonic influence. I know this sounds dangerous but we all are/were in some degree. Panic attacks attributed to lights is interesting and this is probably a lie from the enemy.
I think one has to really come to understand the underlying influences are indeed demonic and not spiritual enlightenment found within. We have to give out the truth and then let God do the rest of the work.
This can take a lot of prayer and you are armed with a lot of truth. Your brother is lucky to have you praying for him and to be there with answers at the right time.
I am not confident with all of the spiritual warfare/deliverance ministries out there. Some may be deceived into thinking they are casting out spirits, when the spirits are really playing them…
Repenting of occult involvement, turning away from it totally, turning to God and scripture often does the job.
I myself had to repent of listening to the enemy. Thought I was super-spiritual. But it took the actual burning of my notes to free me. See I repented of thinking I was hearing directly from God…but I still liked to go back and read what had wrote down. Even after that I had some manifestations that kept coming back and I had to reject…reject..reject. them till it stopped.
I will be praying for you and your brother. Blessings to you. feel free to continue to post.

Corey,
You used to be a pyschic? As a Christian you have give up all forms of witchcraft. The powers, the notes you keep, the books, mementos…burn them. and turn away from them for good.

Hello Ms. Kim my name is Britney and I am 18 years old. I’ve been raised in a Christian church at a very young age maybe even since birth because my parents dedicated me to the Lord in a church. About 3-4 years ago I came across meditation and how it can give you “powers” like the ability to move things and not feel pain when hit by all types of materials, I’ve been on many different sites mainly YouTube to learn how to be able to do this myself and one day while meditating I had a feeling like I was there but I wasn’t and I saw white light my hearing was even enhanced it was like I disappeared somewhere it was peaceful or at least felt that way I stayed in this state for awhile but can’t recall for how long, I do know however that I felt amazing but then I was overcome by fear and stopped immediately when I gained consciousness or thoughts I was confused, I questioned myself “where am i?”. I usually did this when no one was at home or very late at night where I would get no interruption and ever since then I was depressed but I didn’t know why, I didn’t want to pray or read my bible I pretended to be sick or make excuses so I didn’t have to go to church. I was angry all the time getting mad at the slightest thing I only realized yesterday what the cause was. About three months ago I started meditating again because I kept hearing something in my mind “I think” reminding me of what it felt like to grasp that feeling I felt 3-4 years ago. I got closer and closer but couldn’t get there completely but I know I’ve had progress because I got better and better at sensing things I know others can’t I don’t know what I sensed and I can’t put it into words but I just know it was there. The meditation I was trying to do went under a different name titled chi, qi, or qigong. Yesterday before meditating I wanted to know the history of qigong and found bagua which is the study of divination of zhouyi so I looked up what is “divination” and after knowing the definition I searched online is it wrong for a christian to practice divination and the first thing i clicked on was your site titled opening the third eye-Christians beware after reading everything I cried and cried and even now I can’t stop because I’m terrified. I always saw the third eye mentioned in the bible but I didn’t understand it was something that dealt with meditation. I’ve done so many things in my life after that first experience I’m scarred God won’t forgive me I know he will but thoughts rush my mind and tell me he won’t which I usually succumb to the depression over time has made my life so difficult I even began cutting myself from the misery and disgust I thought people had towards me but it was my fault all along and I’m just……..lost, I feel lost. I’m scarred because I was able to even sense my great grandmothers death right before it happened i silently told her goodbye, and had thoughts like this is the last ill see you while everyone was laughing and having a great time. The next day it happened right on my birthday early in the morning my parents woke me up and told me the news. I don’t mean to be a big baby or nothing but I feel so guilty and scared because I keep having dreams and I have many questions about that. But how do I get out of depression? When I pray what do I pray for? How do I forgive my self? I have no one to talk to anymore and if I talk to God I’m scared he won’t listen. My mother is aware I cut myself because she saw the scars but dismissed it after mentioning it to me so I don’t trust talking to her or my dad even though both of them are Christians I feel they criticize me and don’t understand a thing of how I feel. What do I? Please help, please respond to my message.
April 9, 2013 at 8:50 pm
Kim
Britney,
I am so glad to hear from you. Please do not feel alone or afraid. One thing I want to tell you right away, is that you can rely on the Lord to see you through this, especially if you know Him and that you were brought up in the church.
That fear that you said you experienced….this is usually protection and a warning from God to stop what you are doing. Know this…God is with you.
Never hesitate to pray and call on God. He promises that if we truly seek HIm he will be there.
I think you know that the meditation has actually put you in contact with the spirit world. The wrong side. The white light is described in the Bible as an masquerading angel. Reject this angel as it is from darkness. This will start you on the right path.
Quit immediately all the new-age, mystic, meditation. Ask the Lord to forgive you and He will…He is faithful even when we stray.
I can also see that you are experiencing problems by your contact. The source has been revealed to you….Anger, fear and depression are all symptoms that happen when one steps out of the bounderies that God has set for us. These will disappear once you get back on the path that God has set for you….You are right….divination…will oppress you.
Repentance means that you stop, and turn away from what God forbids and that you turn only to HIm…..
You may want to open your Bible….(the devil hates this) and read through Ephesians 6. I once had to keep my Bible open all night and read this passage over and over again. I was once oppressed too…..I burnt all my notes that I thought were from God, (but were not) and the evil spirit was revealed and left.
There is nothing in your life that God will not forgive…
You can contact me personally at
kimmerlee1953@gmail.com ….anytime…
You are not alone…many have been through what you are going through..Do not be afraid…you are now on your way back to truth.
love and blessings.
kim
ps..I want to add that parents often dedicate their children to the Lord. This is wonderful, it means that they promise to raise you in a Christian household. But you must make the personal decision to follow Jesus as Savior to be born again…yourself.
April 9, 2013 at 10:47 pm
Britney
OK thank you for responding and I will make sure to read that passage I’m going through a lot in my life and there’s a lot I don’t understand I’ll be emailing you for sure because my brother is showing signs that he too was in contact because he says he had conversations with the devil and a whole bunch of stuff which I didn’t believe at first and i laughed at him thinking it was a joke but now I understand its possible and I want to help him like you’ve helped me. I remember you mentioned in a post that there is more than one way to have those experiences and my brother is an alcoholic he cut down a whole lot but now he smoking. He always talk about how he bored with life and I know now that’s the emptiness he feels from depression can you give me a few scriptures to show him so I can explain to him what he’s experiencing and pull him out of that darkness also if it doesn’t trouble you can you pray for us I would really appreciate it his name is Tiquan.

I was just thinking of how Jesus himself was tempted in the desert by the devil…Jesus resisted and overcame three times by saying…”It is written.” The Word of God is a powerful weapon.
Always remember that Satan is already a defeated foe, when Jesus went to the cross. They have no chance against a born-again Christian…that is why it is important to have a saving relationship with Jesus. They hate scripture because it reminds them that they are already defeated.
•“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:13)
Also read Psalm 23…It is well known. Fear no evil. Be comforted. He restores your soul.
A couple of my favorites. 1 Peter 5:8 “…Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith…”
I use to say this verse alot….1 John 4:4 “You dear children are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” In other words the Holy Spirit is more powerful than the ruler of this fallen world.
Off to do something for awhile…will post a bit more later.

Indeed alcohol “spirits” can also open you up. I know these things because i drank heavily and was a full-blown alchi by the time i was 21. Soooo many nights I passed out. Took LSD too when I was 16…When we do these things we can become sensitive to the spiritual world by granting an opening.
Talking with the devil? Serious stuff…although remember that 1/3 of the angels were thrown to earth when they rebelled with satan. They are now the demons who taunt us. All this contact must be given up.
You are both on my prayer list.
April 10, 2013 at 7:09 pm
Britney
Thank you so much for the inspiration and scriptures you’ve given me. I read Ephesians 6:12 and I never knew how much of a difference it would make to read something and FULLY understand what its talking about now that I’m aware of things I will most definitely make an effort to read my BIBLE at least 5 min a day. 1 John 4:4, I really like that one never heard of it before.
Yes, talking with the devil, he believes that the devil is trying to steal his soul, he listens to Christian music and he wants to go to church to do right but he scared he’s going to burn or think something weird will happen. I’m planning on visiting him next weekend because I don’t want him living this way in fear. As I’ve said before, I thought it was his imagination but now I guess nothings impossible as long as we’re here on earth. I’m making it my personal mission to save him before its too late and something like the rapture happens, the thought of it never leaves my mind.
To be honest I’m more concerned for him than myself now and I’m not sure if its a good thing or bad but if its God’s willing, I want to be able to change his ways somehow.
April 10, 2013 at 7:12 pm

That’s crazy how far you’ve come along from your past, now your here on a website spreading the Gospel, gotta love how God works in mysterious ways :).

God indeed is working in your life. And He will work through you to help those around you…Britney…you are a dear sweet heart….the Lord loves you and He is with you…Reading the Bible every day, is a very good start. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach and guide you. Find a faithful church that teaches the Word of God…not emergent, not purpose- driven,no prosperity teachings, not solely puffy feel good but one that teaches that we are sinners in need of a Savior….when we become disciples….we begin to live for Him instead of ourselves….What a joy to meet you!

Also was thinking about your reference to the rapture. In 2002 after reading part of a book about Revelation, I realized that I was not ready. I repented and wept all afternoon. Then I became hungry for the Word of God. My life was transformed that day…Just like yours is being changed.

Thank you its great meeting you as well 🙂 . I was thinking of going to the Harvest Christian ministries church I heard pastor Greg Laurie speak on the radio earlier and he seems to teach good sermons so I I’ll probably stick to him.

There seems to be issues with Greg Laurie so you do need to be cautious..Here is an older post of mine. There seems to be some solid teaching from CC but there are also a lot of problems arising with them joining the purpose-driven movement with Rick Warren, for one thing. He also has endorsed a book called ” Have Heart” which is a non-biblical account of heaven.
I took a quick look at a service on April 1st. on this link. http://www.harvest.org/church/blog.html/?p=6191
Here he talking about Judas and says, ” Judas means “Son of Waste.”
But this isn’t true…A quick look at the the Greek translation on Blue Letter Bible states this. The following lexicon does not confirm son of waste either.
Judah or Judas = “he shall be praised”
1) the fourth son of Jacob
2) an unknown ancestor of Christ
3) a man surnamed the Galilean, who at the time of the census of Quirinus, excited the revolt in Galilee, Acts 5:37
4) a certain Jew of Damascus, Acts 9:11
5) a prophet surnamed Barsabas, of the church at Jerusalem, Acts 15:22,27,32
6) the apostle, Jn 14:22, who was surnamed Lebbaeus or Thaddaeus, and according to opinion wrote the Epistle of Jude.
7) the half-brother of Jesus, Mt. 13:55
8) Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus
It may be a small error, but it is indeed an error…what else is untrue? I hate to discourage you right away with who you may be listening to….

Its OK, thank you for letting me know, I’d rather you tell me something that you noticed than just let it pass. If you don’t mind me asking who do you listen to or what church do you go to or would suggest? I’m asking because if your church has a website or something I could find it online and listen to podcasts. I’ll probably still listen to Laurie but I’ll be cautious, I really don’t wanna fall into the wrong path again.

Kim,Donna
Donna how are you,are you completely healed,
Kim I am very immature and absolutely have no knowledge ,I googled how opening third eye is bad and stumbled here.
Please I need advice from both of you,if I use subliminal messages,frequencies,hypnosis videos etc for personal reasons like grow taller,male enhancement,eye color change etc,is this safe,I want nothing to do with the videos relating to pineal gland,just dont want to enter there,however I know people who have been benefitted in regenerating lost body parts,body cells,brain cells,etc with the power of binaural beats,frequencies etc because sub conscious mind can do anything.
Etc..Please do you have any knowledge that you can pass on to me …with regard to this..Also biokinesis..also with reference to YouTube channels like quadible integrity,sapien med,doctor7 virtual,ascension archangel king.loui,igodmind.
I dont want to.meditate,now after reading these comments and discussion.looking forward to hear from you.

Hello Sidhant, It sounds as though you are completely immersed in new-age methods, techniques, etc….remember new-age is the seeking of hidden knowledge/help/healing from a spiritual source that some think comes from within, from a spirit guide, or universe.
The Christian biblical answer is that there is no help going down that avenue. These spirits are not from God and we are commanded to test these spirits. Accessing them may temporarily give you peace, and even some joy, but in the long run they cause depression, angst, panic, and darkness.
Off to work will respond again later.

Sidhant,
About the frequencies, subconscious mind, etc: only God can create. Not us— no where in the Bible is found any support, whatsoever, for the idea that we can do anything at all to create something out of nothing or even out of existing unordered atoms. If there are any verses that can be construed as relating to the subconscious mind, it would be the ones that talk about original sin. Christians believe that God created absolutely everything and that nothing can exist without His care.
Your post was filled with a lot of key words and youtube channels that you seem to want us to look at or approve, which was rather odd. In a way, your post sounds like an ad for those youtube channels.
But what all of the keywords boil down to is this: using methods to access hidden powers. God forbade His followers from accessing Him in any other way than through Jesus. He is the door, the way, the truth, the source, the life. We have only to ask Him, in words, and He hears us. No method, no technique, no ritual is of any power before God. However, these methods do give you access to the spirit realm, which is under the control of demons (fallen angels), who do have powers that we do not possess. God has absolutely forbidden us from this; these demons are not God (they are created beings) and are nothing in comparison to the power of God and are under His judgement. He calls all occultic activity an abomination and says that those who practice such things will not enter heaven. It is really serious. God abhors the blending of pagan practices with the worship of Himself.
Basically, the focus of the Christian life is the gospel- the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. He did not die to give us all sorts of worldly things to increase our beauty or height or wealth or fame or power. As a matter of fact, Jesus told us that if we follow Him we should expect to suffer. That we are to die to self every day. That if we ask something from Jesus, we are to ask according to God’s will and not to ask to spend on our pleasures and to realize that God does not hear our prayers if we are entrenched in sin. Our struggles with our imperfections should point us to the perfection of God and not to focus on self.
The answer to all of your questions is found in Jesus Christ.
