Below is the personal testimony of one who became involved with the practice of “Belief Coding.” After reading my article about “SOZO” she determined that the practices were similar and equally dangerous. These practices cause spiritual damage and can set a person back. It stems from seeking help in the wrong places.

Please read the following personal testimony.

After a lifetime of trauma, I became involved in a system called ‘Belief Coding’.  I was attracted to this system because it was said to be able to heal traumas, get to the root cause of limitations and code in new beliefs. This was said to be done by regressing the mind or sub conscious to past memories to create new emotional experiences or memories.  

So, for example if a person was suffering from self-consciousness, they could be regressed back to a time in their childhood where they had been made to feel self-conscious and change the belief at that point, thus creating a new positive belief about this issue. I latched onto this system attracted to the possibility of being able heal traumas and be a more healed person.

It was described at the time as being either spiritual or non-spiritual depending on your beliefs.   I do not believe however that there is a way to separate the spiritual implications of this system.

When I first watched a belief coding facilitation taking place, I recall feeling wary because when a belief was being coded in it was done by creating a pyramid symbol with your hands on your forehead, on your so called ‘third eye’.  I recognized this symbol as being an occult symbol and felt confused as to why this symbol was being used.  I blindly ignored my concerns however and proceeded on with multiple belief coding facilitations.

One of the methods used in belief coding is the human compass.  This was used to get answers from the subconscious.  The body was used to sway forward or backwards to get a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response. This is basically the same as using your body as a pendulum, and in fact you can use a pendulum instead of your body in belief coding.

The human pendulum is a technique which is used in spiritualism and is practiced by individuals seeking to connect with the spiritual realm.  One exorcist said to have that using your body in this way was one of the quickest ways for a person to become possessed.

As with SOZO healing is rated from 1-10.  The founder of the Belief Coding movement also regularly mentioned how this knowledge was downloaded to her from spirit.  From which spirit, however?

Other occult tools used in belief coding included using an imaginary magic wand and imagining a spirit animal or spirit guide.

Memories in Belief Coding can be said to be from so called past lives and I was indeed regressed to numerous false past lives. I realize now however that there are no such thing as past lives, “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment”, (ESV, Hebrews 9:27).

In belief coding dead people can be brought to the subconscious memory by asking the person having the session to call on and speak to the spirit of the dead person.  This is necromancy and is very spiritually dangerous.

As with the stories of false memories being retrieved in SOZO sessions a false memory suggestion of abuse was put in to my mind.  I knew immediately that this suggestion was not true, and that this thought was not from me.   I was horrified when I realised that there was a voice speaking to me in my mind that was not mine. I believe Belief coding opened me up to evil spirits and I am still recovering.  

When I looked further into the pyramid symbol made on the forehead to seal in the belief, I was shocked to see that this was an occult symbol which was also used by people such as the satanist Anton Lavey and Adolph Hitler.

I would strongly urge anyone not to become involved in a system that uses the same symbol as the satanist Anton Levay and Adolph Hitler!  Occult Symbols have meanings with real spiritual implications. 

The Belief Coding vision statement states that their “mission is to make Belief Coding® a household name. Working with a growing movement of facilitators, our aim is to make Belief Coding® as accessible to people.”

This movement is becoming very popular and thousands of people and in particular women and even children are involved in this movement and are facilitating each other.  These are often very vulnerable women who are in emotional pain.   

I write this to warn others of this system.  A once cradle Christian, I am now trusting in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and instead of ‘coding’ my mind I now renew it with the bible, the Word of God.  I am very grateful to God for revealing to me the deception I was in.

The hour is late.  Turn from the false light and to the true, “light of the world,” Jesus (ESV, John 8:12).

Jesus is, “the way, and the truth, and the life,” (ESV, John 14:6) and “No one comes to the Father except through, Him (NKJV, John, 14:6)

“All things were created by him and through him” (ESV, John 14:6); and “Salvation is found in no one else (NKJV, Acts 4:12).”

Thanksgiving as a Way of Life

All across North America the days are getting shorter, chillier, and (to the chagrin of many) Christmas music is already playing on the radio stations. As Thanksgiving draws near, it often serves to bring about various memories and emotions for people. And for the Christian, gratitude and thankfulness are not just emotions or feelings that are felt or something only celebrated once a year – it is the very air we breathe. All who have repented of their sin and trust and follow Jesus as Savior understand that their regenerate heart, and indeed any good thing in life (James 1:17), is a gift; a gift to which the only correct response is worship, obedience, and thankfulness to a good and kind God.

Christian growth insures that these truths sink deeper and deeper into the heart of a believer as they live their lives in light of the Gospel. By God’s grace, another reality concerning thankfulness that believers will come to understand is that thankfulness is a very powerful weapon against sin and a tool to endure suffering.

The Power of Thankfulness

About 10 years ago, I found myself in a very dark season of depression. No appetite for food, no energy to get out of bed in the morning, and a tendency to isolate myself were a few of the visible manifestations of this chapter of my life. I was suffering, but my particular suffering was also intermingled with sin. Bitterness, selfishness, and anger were thoughts that I too often found myself embracing. These are formidable foes when mingled with depression because often we only see our sorrow, and not our sin, when we are in the throes of deep sadness. This season led to much fear. I became terrified to hop into my car and take a quick trip across town. Terrified of my family being killed in a house fire. Terrified of anything and everything scary I could think of. Sin is at its core irrational, and leads to further irrationality.¹

I distinctly remember one morning that became a sort of linchpin in turning the corner on fighting sin and fighting for joy. I was lying in bed trying to force myself to get started with the day, and the morning sunlight was streaming through my window onto my face. This immediately reminded me of Matthew 5:45, “…For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” This immediately prompted me to say in thanksgiving, “Thank you God that you cause the sun to shine on the evil and the good, you are so kind. This is a direct evidence of your kindness that I am experiencing in this moment. Thank you.” This simple acknowledgment of God’s Word and prayer of gratitude to Him, caused me to want to get up and keep thanking Him for His kindness. A few days later, I was eating a piece of homemade pie (funny how certain small memories remain crystal clear even after years) and I remember silently thanking God for giving me the ability to enjoy this delicious food and for His provision of sustenance for my body (I Timothy 4:4). I realized this was yet another evidence of a kind and gracious Father. Then one night, as I was reading the Psalms and praying I was convicted over my sin of bitterness and anger against an individual, as well as selfishness. I prayed that the Lord would forgive my sin and help me to walk in repentance. I started thanking the Lord that I would be worshipping Jesus in heaven alongside this individual someday and started to pray for the Lord to bless this person’s life. As time went on, these prayers weren’t just an act of obedience, they eventually became my joy to pray in this manner. This season didn’t leave quickly, as seasons like this rarely do. But the act and discipline of thankfulness became the means by which the Lord granted repentance and deep joy and growth in the days and nights of many tears.

The Gift of Gratitude

When God commands thankfulness (i.e. the Psalms, Ephesians 5:4, Philippians 4:6, Colossians 4:2, etc.), he does it with the understanding that it will bring life and joy and renewal in the inner man, even in the very darkest of valleys. The most important thing in the life of a suffering believer is not that pain be alleviated, but that the believer looks more like Jesus after having endured the trial (II Corinthians 12:9-10). Thankfulness is a powerful means of grace for the believer to lay hold of in the midst of fiery trials. ²

Don’t let Thursday be the primary day this year that you give thanks to God for his great kindness. Let it be a day of rejoicing that we can praise God for his kindness and all of his blessings for everyday of our lives on earth and into eternity.

Women’s Issues.

If you are struggling with some area in your life please feel free to contact me by email. I will come along side of you with support that is scripture based.

I came out of a life of addiction, drunkenness, promiscuity, and bulimia.  Today I live in total dependency in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who forgives and set me free.

Spiritual oppression can also occur from drug use (recreational or prescription), eastern meditation (TM or Yoga), hyper-charismatic experiences, spiritism, channeling, or any dabbling in the occult.  God’s truth shines a way out of these dark paths.

There is a way to overcome these difficulties. 2 Timothy 1:7 says “God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power,  of love and self-discipline.”

It is my desire that I can give you hope and encouragement based on the truth from God’s Word.
