The Lord confirmed to me that I was being ked by Him to speak to the person I know and tell her the truth. These things are dangerous and we must speak up. I also appreciate the commenter above who stressed that yoga is not just a tool. So many seem to take it too lightly.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-7110970161650161602019-09-29T12:48:12.784-03:002019-09-29T12:48:12.784-03:00I'm not your follower, but after 18 years bein...I'm not your follower, but after 18 years being in the New Age, I have a similar experience.

I'll try to ...Hi Rita, thanks for your comment. I'll try to answer you to the best of my ability. Sorry, this is going to be rather long.<br /><br />You ask," What was your original thought before all these books including your recent return to the bible?<br /><br /> I believed in the Holy Bible and I thought that I was a good person and that I always wanted to do my best to help people.<br /><br />When I got the first stage of Healing Touch, I thought that God had opened a door for me to help people through Healing Touch. I got interested in acquiring new knowledge that I must have in order to take the second level.<br /> <br />By reading those books, it did not made me a bad person but it opened up the gateway for evil spirits to creep into my life, baby steps at a time. It was so subtle that I didn't noticed it. I had become unhappy and angry and had lost interest in a lot of things.<br /><br />I began to noticed something was wrong when I picked up the book The Law of Attraction and started to investigate it online. There was a youtube video that stream in my youtube page called "Proof The New Age Movement Is Satanic" by Steven Bancarz that was very revealing to me, so I kept watching other related youtube videos that were streaming on my youtube page.<br /><br />You see I did not stray from my original thought to do good but when I recognized that had been tricked by Satan, I turned to Jesus to change my life and the moment I turned to Jesus and ask for forgiveness, in an instant, my anger, frustration, hate all disappeared and I felt joy, happiness, peace. <br />I hope this answer your questions. It's difficult to express my thoughts in the small comment box.<br />Hugs, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-74074662520756486672019-02-17T01:34:07.075-04:002019-02-17T01:34:07.075-04:00Julia, this a good post for discussion. Everyone&...Julia, this a good post for discussion. Everyone's perspective is pondered, evaluated, and in the end we come away with more questions to be discussed. I've read again the post and some of the comments. In the end I believe you have replaced your new age books with utube and other books that have swayed you a different direction. I see easy manipulation on someone's words. I wouldn't rely on someone's books, utube or opinion completely. I listen, I read but in the end I make my own choices...not on the bible, not on books I've read, and certainly not on Utube. What was your original thought before all these books including your recent return to the bible? What made you stray from your original thought? Just curious. I take Yoga as an exercise tool...nothing else and I watch Harry Potter for entertainment...nothing else. I remember I bought my first paperback Harry Potter ages ago before anyone knew Harry Potter and before movies were made. A friend said to me 'You're going to buy the book that's ben banned by the church?!' I told her it's just a fairy tale book like Hansel and Gretel or Snow White & the witch. Good post Julia. It makes us all think.

Like I said, I don't expect people to agree with me and in addition, I'm not judging those who don't see things as I see them. <br /><br />I am actually feeling a whole lot better since I left the New Age way of thinking and Joy and Contentment has returned in my life. Contentment is a big reward for me. I feel at peace, I sleep like a baby, I get up rested and feel happier than I have in a long time. All my tension is gone and all my ache and pains are gone too since I turned over my life to Jesus. Burning my New Age books was the best thing I did in a long time. <br /><br />I did yoga ages ago and was going to start again, but I have <br />watched these youtube videos and did plenty of research before I made my decision. I stand 100% behind my decision. <br /><br />I doubt that anyone has watched the youtube videos that I have underlined in my post, as they explained the reasons why I made my decision to leave all that stuff behind and as I had expected, no one viewed the youtube videos. But there's is no regrets on my part.<br />Take care, hugs, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-70635814504351754162019-02-16T21:37:43.526-04:002019-02-16T21:37:43.526-04:00Julia, I am quite concerned reading this post and ...Julia, I am quite concerned reading this post and hope you are OK.

Many years ago I ended up in a church that was more like a cult. I began seeing red flags and began seeking truth. My life totally changed from misery and bad to wonderful after believing and accepting that Jesus Christ died for my sins. I have found peace and happiness in serving Jesus Christ and I am confident that I have found the truth. Love hugs and blessing to you sweet Julia...you have not lost me as a follower.

I applaud your convictions and your love of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I also believe you need to follow your gut and do what's best for you. I don't dabble in New Age stuff but I have to say that yoga is beneficial to many with health an mental issues. I would never unfollow you! I enjoy your posts and your hard working ethics. This is your blog, your forum. Being a witness for God and Jesus is a good thing and many don't have the courage to testify of that. On another note..I can't stand Oprah Winfrey. I used to enjoy her when she first started out on Chicago TV. I don't think celebrities should be using their fame to sway people to that celebrities viewpoints. She does that all the time. Anyway, take care and enjoy your weekend and your dreams of Spring..I'm with you 100% on that!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-9874038550296436522019-02-15T15:52:42.209-04:002019-02-15T15:52:42.209-04:00Edit: Jesus was mocked, beaten, belittled and cru...Edit: Jesus was mocked, beaten, belittled and crucified until he died for us.

I am thankful for that freedom... He gave us the ten commandments to follow but if we chose to not follow them, it will be our damnation. <br />However, God will always invite us to come to Him. That's why He gave us Jesus to show us the way. We go to church not because we are perfect but precisely because we are sinners. Jesus was mocked , beaten, belittled , yet He did this because we are sinners and because He loves us all. Jesus love the sinners but not the sin. <br /><br />Because we are all flawed and sinners, we continue to go to church to be reminded that we are sinners and we need the forgiveness and mercy of God and to have hope and keep our faith alive. <br /><br />Yes, church goers are sinful just as those who don't go to church. Church is especially for sinners and not for perfect people. Perfect people don't need God, they only need themselves.<br /><br />Luke 15:7 ( it says) In the same way, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine respectable people who do not need to repent.

There are opposites to everything in our universe i.e. good/bad, hot/cold, dark/light etc., etc. I don't go outside of my feelings of what I determine is good and what is bad. I don't even believe totally in any religion. To me all religions try to sway you into a certain type of 'they way is better' type nonsense. What you do is the only way. We were given a brain to decide how we want to live good or bad. We make our choices and live with it and sometimes we can change our minds as in this post. Julia was swayed into believing new age is a good way but by her own choice she has decided to live her own way. Good for you Julia. Don't let ANYONE brain wash you under the pretense of being a Christian also. They also walk in cloaks of sheep skin i.e. being racist, being hateful, and many other bad things all the while going to church and praying.

For me, it's not a matter of opinion but a matter of faith that Jesus, the Son of God does not lie or lead us astray. Jesus is the Truth, the Way and the Life and I believe what he teaches.<br /><br />All these scriptures can be found online in the Bible Gatewy concordance.

I am an active person fitness wise and know the benefits of a healthy body. I like to got to the gym and also do yoga. Yoga for me is stretching, strength and flexibility. I don't dive too deep into the whole meaning of it and actually I just really like the warm floor. Sometimes I feel like I could curl up and take a nap while everyone else works on their poses haha. <br />Thank you for this post, it's a great reminder to stay true to oneself <br />Hugs!<br />SaimiSaimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205857549533433625noreply@blogger.com
