New Age to Jesus: Therapist Witch Finds Healing at Last ✝️

This is my testimony of how I met and gave my life to Jesus as a therapist and witch after searching for healing for many years. Thanks for watching! ❤️🙏

    Was feeling suicidal today. I have these feelings everyday. But today I really wanted to end my life and my suffering. I came across your video thinking it was one of my new age videos I always watched. But I am truly believed God wanted me to find you today. Thank you ❤

    Thoughts lead to feelings lead to reactions. Take ALL thoughts captive, meaning ignore them. All suicide is caused by one thing…thoughts. Watch them, they are not your friends. Wish you well.

    @@Tamaraa078it’s an ego defense. If people had a frightful spiritual experience they tend to blame the group instead of looking into other factors that contributed to their experiences. Like many women who gravitate to witchcraft have a trauma history and some level of spiritual sensitivity. They Open up spiritually and thier traumas are activated, their earlier Christian programs that they never contended with are activated and they retreat often to a rigid worldview to cope with feeling out of control and vulnerable. Also developmentally a lot of people lack the self insight to understand the difference between a trauma response, versus an actual entity. A black and white thought process is less intimidating and overwhelming than dealing with the complexity of the universe and the vast types of consciousness and entities. If people are very fearful or sensitive this stuff can be overwhelming and exceed the persons ego strength, or window of tolerance! I had a negative experience with the charasmatic church, they are pretty much the same as witches and new agers it just has a Jesus bumper sticker but some of the belief systems are just as wacky as new agers! It’s really not a step up in my opinion. But I would suggest is to learn the “velo technique “ it is a safe way to open up spiritually and develop psychic protection while refraining from dogmas and things that have no real proof. It’s just working with the bodies energy centers. The velo technique is backed by 30 years of research and the developer won a prize in consciousness! And has a 500pg book on the science behind it. The technique prevents lower energies from even having access to your energy field over time it changes your energetic signature so you’re not attracting critters. And people need to go to therapy and integrate their mind so they can actually handle relating to higher beings! A lot of people dabble with new age and open up in an unsafe way they externalize blame! I could say the same about charismatics being cold hearted jerks but obviously everyone in the church is not like that and my beef is not really with the people it’s the dogmas, double binds and spiritual bypassing that further oppresses people! It also exploits the good qualities of people ( wanting to be good, caring about others, shame over the past, wanting to accepted) many people have traumas or religious ocd and they have not resolved developmental deficits that’s by spiritual bypassing is so destructive. Humans are very complex our universe is complex that being said we do need some predictably and a stable world view. Basically whatever practice people choose if it’s making you more mentally sound and more loving instead of fearful and contracted then it’s a good thing. For some people a structure of religion can be very good for others it can actually increase neurosis!

    Thank you Jesus. Yes sister. I was also on the self-help/ healing/ spiritual journey for many years. Trying desperately to fix the broken needs inside of myself on my own. Eventually I looked around at the people around me- just as broken as myself- and I asked myself “does anyone really get healed?”. Then my eyes were opened and I saw the fullness that Christians exuded. I left my job (yoga teacher/reiki “healer”), my lifestyle, and my friends to follow Jesus. It’s been a bumpy road but I have never been so full, so certain, or so centered in my life. Thank you Jesus!

    Hi there, I’m doing a revival pilot project on KZread and I’m looking to interview, or receive video, audio or email testimonies like yours on various topics such as: -Near death experiences, heaven or hell, prior to or after being saved! -Supernatural experiences, some would consider ‘paranormal’, and your explanation of what you think it is. -Incredible salvation stories, ie: satanist, occultist, atheist to believer…. Etc. I’m sure there are incredible stories here. -Testimonies on how God took you from nothing to something, poor to rich, gravely sick to healed, miracles. -Adult and Children’s dreams and visions, with or without drawings. Please DM me if you’re interested, or email me: testimonies@thelastdaysrevival.com and I’ll respond to you and provide further details! I’d like to also promote your channel. This is a very exciting project for the kingdom! Thank you and God bless you!! 😊🙏🏻

    This was such a heartfelt beautiful testimony. I was saved and born again 6 months ago. I so resonate with your story of coming out of new age (shamanism, reiki and for myself astrology and tarot) and sexual immorality. Praise the Lord. The depth of your love for the Lord toward the end of your testimony made me tear up. This made me look forward to continuing to grow in my journey with Jesus and I am grateful to hear there are others out there who have walked similar paths to accepting the Lord. I particularly resonated with the part where you said you thought you were looking for healing but the whole time you were looking for your heavenly Father. 🙏

I've read a few over the years. Forgiven! Phew. You highlighted - truth and deception in many ways. It is refreshing to be reminded that satan is behind all deception and Jesus is truth.

    I really enjoyed your testimony, thank for sharing it!! I started being haunted by demons at night when I gave my life to Jesus. That is when I knew Jesus is real, and that I was headed to hell before that, and the demons were angry because they no longer were taking me with them. The only thing that prevents these demons from tormenting me at night, is me playing in my cell phone all night an exorcism from Saint Benedict. When I don't play that, they can torment me. God bless you, and all praise to Our Lord Jesus Christ!!

And yess spiritual warfare is so so real too, I went through it big time right after getting saved. Have you ever been through deliverance? I'm wondering if that would help you get these demons away once and for all as well if the tormenting is still so intense. Jesus gave us all authority over these demonic spirits, so there is full freedom from them available to you sister ❤️

    People get harassed by lower entities because of trauma and ironically fixation on dark energy. The velo technique actually clears your energy centers. It’s backed by an expert on consciousness and the result of 30 years of research from a consciousness expert! It actually keeps lower entities out of your energy field. Sage and crystals and all the new age crap doesn’t work. What actually work is having a health stable energy field! I don’t get bothered by entities because I clear my energy and move my energy at will! I’m also a seer and can see entities and feel if something gets near my energy field and I have a crap ton of angels in my house 😅 the velo technique prevents lower beings from having access to your field. A lot of aesthetic witches and new agers have zero clue how to protect themselves! So they get scared by an entity and run back to fundamentalism. I grew up in evangelical charismatic church and they have no idea how to protect themselves and their home from intrusive energies. I have Christians coming to me for help because these churches don’t really understand the energetic nature of reality. On a scientific level we are consciousness and energy and many people mistakenly believe if they ignore the spiritual realm thier problems will go away. But wholisticly people need mental help, energy work, and spiritual work! The charismatic churches open people up but don’t know anything about grounding or spiritual boundaries or teaching people actual discernment. There are many more beings out there than just angels and devils. It’s like people saying there are just cats and dogs! Obviously we know there are millions of species of creatures. It’s the same with the spritual realm. I’m getting first hand experience of how the spritual realm actually works not how I’d wish it to be. The answer to being sensitive is not to shut down your gifts you need to get braver and learn about natural authority! You get that from having a well developed self and being upright! No amount of dogma can make up for that!

    I’m not a witch but I was a Christian and found the religion terribly abusive. A lot of spiritual bypassing. Too much cognitive dissonance and double binds and not logical! I do definitely believe in a higher power and I live with angels and fairies. Had a spiritual awakening and it healed a lot of traumas and I experienced physical healing. I understand why people gravitate towards organized religion. It’s less overwhelming! And It shuts down some of the openness and moves things into a more cerebral arena. The spiritual realm is like the Wild West so if a person is not balanced and integrated inside it can be downright terrifying. I developed psychic protection in a manner of months! Strengthening boundaries and dealing with traumas. And spiritual phobias. Now I sleep like a baby and I have some angelic friends! This expansion would have never happened if I listened to fear and stayed in organized religion. I have communication with the higher beings but I have to admit it’s primative on my part. I’m smart but not the most intelligent but I can I understand some things the angelic realm takes time to learn from because they tend to work with people with exceptional iq and complexity of thought. I’m not there yet developmentally but I appreciate that they condescend to share little things with me. I’m still a spiritual baby. But I admire the Catholic mystics and modern day mystics that can walk with angels with little fear. I still have some intimidation. They definitely put the fear of God in me because they are higher beings and if they get close I can feel my cells vibrating! It’s very intense to be around higher beings at time. But it all comes down to growing in love and consciousness! And if a person actually walks in love and has good character we can have actual authority not a passive wishful thinking. I had so much fear of the devil and hell when I was a Christian. Now I see the spiritual realm plainly and lower entities run from me 😂 it did give me a confidence boost actually seeing them run. And I performed my first psychic surgery and removed an entity from someone. So it does pay to have my senses opened!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Truly appreciate it ☺️ I can definitely see what you mean about examples of abuse in the church and the spiritual bypassing - I think that's what really kept me away from Jesus for so long tbh! There's a testimony I feel like you'd like, that actually blew my mind! kzread.info/dash/bejne/lqqF2Ketp5Wvqso.htmlsi=oYFWL7z_8idpKUP2 This man was a high ranking warlock in Uganda and actually shares how he had experiences of abuse in the church from these priests who were actually occultists and servants of satan and they actually had assignments from satan to pretty much infiltrate the church and break people's spirit by abuse... I can't think of anything worse that's gonna get you to experience God's wrath than that! And I think there are manyyy religious people who don't actually have an intimate, spiritual relationship with Jesus where they actually follow Him, and unfortunately leaves them vulnerable to being used by satan. Jesus was actually hardest on the religious leaders who just loved their power, but didn't know or love God, and didn't love people - still so relevant today I say! I understand where you're coming from with your experiences, but the truth is that there is actual order in the spirit realm and there are beings that love us and are good, and there are those that are evil and want to destroy us. As humans we like to think we have so much power that we have control over which spiritual beings we let in, but we really don't at all. These spiritual beings are much more powerful than us and demonic spirits can appear as loving and healing spirits to us and deceive us very easily. When you belong to Jesus though you have no fear, because of the fact that He was God in the flesh, and He died on the cross and rose again for our sins and actually has all power and authority over every spiritual being, and He has given us all power and authority over them too. So if we say "go in Jesus name" as a Christian filled with the Holy Spirit, they have to obey for example. When you invoke the name of Jesus, the spiritual battle we're in becomes super clear. Unfortunately many Christians just ignore the spiritual realm and don't live the supernatural life God has for us, and don't exercise their true authority in the spirit realm! It's really such a beautiful supernatural life with Jesus when we actually have a relationship with Him, and the way He loves us, guides us, protects us, provides for us, and gives us rest is so precious and beautiful. Just His gift to us, nothing for us to work for or strive for. There's another testimony I think you'd like if you search Naela Rose new age to Jesus, you should be able to find it! She had the most beautiful encounter with Jesus I think I've ever heard, I think you'd love it just hearing how spiritually inclined you are! Thanks so much for commenting again and being here!

Gives me such rest and peace in my soul now, not having to work so hard, and knowing that all I need is the one true God. 🙏❤️ God bless you sister, praying your relationship with Jesus grows ever deeper as you continue on your walk with Him!

    I am someone who was a very sincere Christian for the majority of my life. I went through a major period of deconstruction and questioning regarding both the teachings of the Bible and the abuses that pervade so many churches in the US and around the world. Your testimony sounds sincere and loving, but I see a lot of comments that reduce anything other than a narrow view of Christ and Christianity to evil. So many of us are walking away from the Christian faith and finding beauty, divine love, joy, and healing in other spaces. Our personal testimony is real too ❤

    Thank you so much for commenting and being here! I've heard of many people walking away from cultural Christianity because they didn't actually have a relationship with the real Jesus. There are pieces of truth in other practices for sure, but nothing that compares to His love - nothing at all. I understand there's a lot of hypocrisy in the church- since Jesus' time we see it even! And we see how He was hardest on such religious folk who did not actually love God or people. That was one of the first things that made me fall in love with Him. ❤️❤️ And He also warned us that wolves would come among His flock to scatter us and take us away from Him, e.g. abuse in the church. I pray you give Jesus a chance my friend! Having a relationship with Him is so much better than any other practice or tradition. The depths of His love for us are just... incomprehensible. Bless you! ❤️❤️

    @@softeningheartstherapy I appreciate the kind, loving, and sincere response and I respect your faith and approach to faith. I want to share that I didn’t just give Jesus a chance-Jesus was my LIFE! I had a real relationship with Jesus and that was the foundation of my faith. I have found it very difficult to interact with many Christians bc they do not want to accept that the majority of people leaving Christianity believed with their whole heart. I believed with my whole heart. I ultimately didn’t reject Christianity bc of the abuses of the church. I left because I really read and studied the Bible, read a tremendous amount of good exegesis, and realized that my most profound and loving experiences of divinity are not based around a Christ that saves via his death. I really want to emphasize that I fully reject Christianity and the doctrine of salvation through accepting Jesus as one’s personal lord and savior-not only is it not biblical (this is where good exegesis comes in) it feels to my heart and mind deeply harmful and hateful, no matter the loving package it comes in. Any god that would condemn a temporal being to eternal conscious torment is a god I refuse to worship regardless of whether it exists or not (I no longer believe that this god exists). If I believed in the Christian god, I would have never had children-I would NEVER bring beings into a world where they could potentially have such a fate. That idea produces pure despair in me and many others. Life and death are worthless. It’s hard for me to even grasp how such beliefs are associated in our current culture with family values. And I want to emphasize that for all the testimonies of leaving other faiths to follow evangelical Christianity, the broad trend is the opposite-many more are leaving conservative Christianity bc it has left us full of questions, doubts, and terror. There is plenty that compares for me, and my life now is more full of joy, wonder, and meaning. In contrast, I see the hate that the US church is espousing and the material harm it’s causing. I don’t want to tear down your faith or diminish your personal truth, but I find that Christians are often the only religious folks I encounter in the US who utterly refuse to accept personal testimony that doesn’t align with their own truth and own beliefs. It’s hard to accept that other people believed what you believe and felt what you felt and chose to leave. I get it. This was me a decade ago. But I had a sincere faith and I walked away. I don’t have to doubt the lives experiences you have had, but it’s frustrating that not a single Christian I’ve ever spoken with believes in my former commitment to my faith. I am expected to accept their personal testimony while my own story is not believed or valued. I was a believer, a leader in my church, and I loved Jesus. In fact, I still lovey Jesus. I just view him as an example rather than a savior. And if he’s my savior and refuses to save people who simply don’t name his as such, he’s not all that great. I know many humans far more compassionate than that god in spite of their imperfections. How is it “good news “ to hear testimony and the gospel of it’s the very thing that opens us to the possibility of eternal hell? Honestly, wouldn’t it be far more holy to reject a god that would create/allow such a reality? Wouldn’t it be far more holy to burn with sinners than align ourselves with such a god? Again, I don’t believe in such a god, but I can no longer overlook the harm in this ideology. I do wish you blessings and appreciate your dialogue and care ❤️

    @@softeningheartstherapy I just want to add that I don’t have any interest in changing your mind about your faith! If you are open and interested however in a broader perspective on people leaving Christianity, I encourage you to check out the deconstruction space. You will find that the claim “people leave cultural Christianity” doesn’t represent reality. The vast majority of people leaving really believed, really had a relationship with Jesus, and were not merely ‘cultural Christians.’ That’s a convenient portrayal for Christians, but it also feels insensitive. It can feel like a fundamental denial of lived experience. Further, it only serves to distance non-Christian’s from Christianity. If your faith depends upon the idea that once one accepts Christ, they’ll never go back, any person who has accepted Christ and walked away immediately destabilizes your faith and discredits your argument. My worldview can contain yours, but if your worldview cannot contain the knowing and experience that live in my bones and heart, why would I ever subscribe to that worldview?

    @@jeanemily218 Excuse me for jumping in. I came from not knowing God or the Bible to accepting and knowing the living Jesus and absolute 100% Bible truth by mere study of facts and logic. (Actually, it´s all God´s Grace, but this was the worldly path he led me.) Deconstruction is something to be used wisely, it´s possible to have absolute truth deconstructed! While doing this and by accepting a deception, and because we don´t really want Jesus Christ to be real in our hearts - other spirits get hold of us. They can make us happy too, and they are happy to help anyone find a "better way" who was hurt by rampant false Christianity, sadly. But what made me want to answer to your comment is your claim that your worldview would be able to contain the living Biblical Jesus Christ. This is an error. A worldview that claims that there are many subjective truths cannot contain the one real truth. Because the one real truth makes all subjective many truths: lies. Here I agree: The one real truth cannot contain other "subjective truths" to be also true. But your new world view cannot contain Jesus Christ, which is why you no longer believe in him. For example, if A wants to believe 1 plus 1 equals 3, and B wants to believe it equals 4 and so on, then the person who insists on it equalling 2, is intolerant in your world view. It´s not a mistake Jesus Christ and his followers are making, that we don´t understand the beauty of having many truths. It´s a logical impossibilty that both stories could be true at the same time. Which to me is one of thousands of pieces of evidence for Jesus Christ, by the way. Another one is Bible numerics by Ivan Panin, then the deconstruction of all of modern science huge stories, which is great fun and so much more. There is an intellectually very fun and rewarding path to Jesus Christ.

But this is about reality, about real heaven and real hell. People have been there, I was there too (as a child and later forgot all about it for a long time). I know, many were in the spirit world and found no such thing as heaven and hell, they just found love and peace for everyone. 2 Questions: If the spirit world is so nice, how can earth be full of so much hell? (If you think, we are not mature yet, greatest philosopher Kant discovered, there is no logical learning path from being evil to becoming good - without God intervening) If you see spirit world experiences as reflecting some spiritual reality, how do the NDE-experiences with hell (for many Christians too, by the way) and the Almighty Creator fit in your story? The only way you can keep your world view going is by denying that there could be real truth at all. Everything is subjective only. We are our own gods. One more: If you´re wrong, you will one day wake up to the harsh reality, when it´s too late. If I´m wrong, I´m fine, because my subjective truth about Almighty Jesus who saves me because I love him and follow him, will manifest itself.

Well then - where is my future husband that I have been 'manifesting' for literal years? Don't have him lol. On Valentine's Day this year I was soooooo desperate for love and drove myself into such a downward spiral that I woke up the next day and FINALLY answered the call from Jesus. I started listening to Christian prayers on KZread and something clicked inside of me. I realised 'The One' I was looking for was Jesus. I have been walking the path ever since - and even though I still have questions, doubts, old demons knocking at my door - for the first time ever I feel that at least I am in the right place - claiming Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. ♥

    Still, Jesus cannot walk the path for us, just with us. So many many many christians are untransformed, unhealed, unfree - in the deeper sense. Yet they swear the are born again and saved. To reach theosis, in the orthodox sense of the word, it will take everything and one have to become a true mystic. I appreciate that you are teaching somatic exercises, that is a great step in healing inside out and build a faith on solid ground and not on superstition. Moreover, the teachings of people such Peter Levine shows us that it is not some eastern occult thing to learn about the subtle sensations, workings and healing of the subtle energy systems connected to the nervous system. Ancient christians knew this. The essenes were master healers. So were the cathars.

I have a hard time seeing it will be world wide organisation, more likely the unity of those who really know the Holy Spirit inside and share it by example and with that certain dignity that comes from knowing love as it is. The times we're approaching calls for the depth of the christian heart and the real teaching who guides us there, warts and all :) Just be careful with the cathars. They were completely eradicated by the catholic church and all information about them from academia is colored from those who wrote history. Then there is those who makes them into a medieval newage cult, which is far from truth also. But there are some good videos sources out there there if Holy Spirit wish you to know more. Otherwise, nevermind. Wish you the best on your narrow path! Glory to God.

    Hi melanie. I loved your testimony. I am glad you found peace in Christ. I am undergoing a severe depression. I was before this very active and close to God. Prayed daily and had strong faith. After a life change I became quickly very anxious and depressed. I have searched for help and still pray but I am not free at all. I tried a deliverence session but when I was asked to renounce the Rosary I could not do that. I am not catholic but do believe the Rosary is an important prayer which meditates on the life of Christ. I have never been in New Age. Is there a form of deliverence where you don't have to renounce the Rosary? I understand renouncing sin, dark occult etc but not christian prayers and traditions of whatever denomination. I have tried to deliver myself but it doesn't work. I do not know how else to go forward.

    Hi Maria! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I have heard of the importance of renouncing some of the Catholic practices that are not necessarily scriptural and can actually be open doors- I actually have a friend who did a powerful deliverance on his wife who was severely demonized by religious demons from the Catholic tradition, per his testimony. I don't honestly know enough about the rosary and Catholic practices to speak on them myself, but I have found a lot of times the last thing we renounce or want to give up can many times be the very thing that is keeping us in bondage. In any case I just pray and hope that you know there is complete freedom coming your way - Jesus paid for it all and I believe wants to and WILL free you from this depression and bring you to the fullness of His joy and peace in your life. ❤️ I fully believe that. Do you have a community of believers you're connected to? Feel free to email me if you want to connect that way instead also: melanie.softeninghearts@gmail.com

I too was a perfectionist but that was def inflicted on me by the scrupulosity religiosity and fear of sin/hell. I dont believe sex is the seed of sin…I don’t believe the answer is in the extremes but rather in educating pple about healthy sexuality and healthy relationships to self & others & to this world…I do believe in the higher power of LOVE but I don’t believe any of the “religions” carry out unconditional love nor do I think they have the answer, I think they pretzel logic to fit agendas of patriarchy & control. It seems to me you would have benefited from healthy sexuality & healthy relationships being modeled for you. All the “sin” talk is so archaic and out of touch, it makes me sad. Nothing is wrong with you. The Jesus that has shown you love comes from within. I have had my own personal relationship w Jesus & the Holy Spirit. In the end, none of it is found outside of ourselves…the kingdom is found within and the job we have on this earth is simply reflecting love in our world by being our divinely human selves. It’s easy to get sucked into the religious dogma or different paths as we seek enlightenment or spiritual evolution. It’s all part of rounding out our experiences so we may have the full capacity of our compassionate hearts.

    Wow thank you so much for commenting and sharing! I've heard so many stories of people who grew up in religion with impossible standards and soo much fear and control, without really the love of God and relationship with Him being the focus. Reminds me of how Jesus was actually hardest on the religious Pharisees who made impossible standards for the people, loved their power, but had no true love or relationship with God or love for people. When God Himself IS love! And part of love is protecting us from things that are harmful even when we don't like it or it doesn't feel good which I think represents a healthy fear of God in wanting Him close for our protection and just the fear of not wanting to be apart from the source of our life, of love, and of everything good. Totally sex is not the seed of sin, it's a beautiful gift from God! You misunderstood what I meant. I was just born with the seed of sin that manifested itself in the form of perverted experiences of sexuality. You're so right though, I spent a lot of time wishing I had someone who guided me and taught me about sex and how sacred and spiritual it is, I know I would have made different choices if I understood that. But Jesus has really done such a work in my heart healing the shame and regret and resentment I used to have about my past. He really does work all things out for the good of those who love Him. Thanks for your comment and for being here! Bless you 🙏

    It never ceases to AMAZE me how the Lord uses Holy Spirit to speak to us and give us confirmation, not just through his word and worship, but through ALL sorts of things! He is not limited, not in a box. I am just under 2 years into my walk with Jesus, but it's only been about 6 months since he really brought me to my knees in surrender and I became born again and he filled me with his Holy Spirit and completely changed my life. GOD is so SO FAITHFUL. He is SO GOOD. He is SO MERCIFUL and loves us UNCONDITIONALLY. If you are reading this, there is a REASON. It's not chance, coincidence, ITS JESUS. He loves you and you DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN YOURSELF BEFORE TURNING TO JESUS! We can't do it on our own, that's why we NEED him. If a thought is negative, it IS NOT from God. It's the enemy. And the enemy wants so badly to keep you from the truth. satan comes to Kill, Steal and Destroy. If you are reading this it's because Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart and wants NOT RELIGION, BUT RELATIONSHIP with you. You don't have to have the perfect words. You can talk to him just like you would talk to anyone. He is not afraid nor surprised by your questions or fears. He just wants you to come to him and talk to him. You can not have relationship with someone without talking to them and communicating! That's what he wants! It doesn't always happen all at once. You may not feel any different right away. But I promise you.. if you truly ask him into your heart and ask him to reveal TRUTH to you.. he WILL do so. Some day you will look back and be amazed how he uses all of it, even the bad, and weaves it together for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. And I promise that he wants YOU. It's because of HIS SACRIFICE, that we can even be reconciled to him. And he did it for you. And you. And you. And everyone. Answer that call. You will not regret it. Abigail Ruth. PS. Thank you for sharing sister. You truly blessed me and God is using you in ways beyond what you could ever imagine. I needed to hear this. I needed reminder. Thank you for your obedience. Blessings. Shalom Shalom. ❤

    Thanks so much for the comment! My friends who took me through deliverance are non denominational. Yes many many churches don't do deliverance unfortunately, so many people are in bondage when they don't need to be because of Jesus' sacrifice! Jesus actually said in ‭‭Mark 16:17-18: And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; [18] they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So we each have the authority to operate in deliverance. If you go to www.isaiahsaldivar.com/deliverance you can search for someone in your area who offers deliverance. You can also send me an email at melanie.softeninghearts@gmail.com and we can explore that together through Zoom 😊 there is full freedom available to you, friend! God bless you, let me know if you have any other questions ❤️🙏

    There's a great book that will shed light on this if you're interested! Called "That's What the Old Ones Say: Precolonial Revelations of God". (Pretty sure I mentioned it in this video too). He discusses various prophecies from different Native tribes that line up with biblical prophecies. Even a few examples of how some of the tribes actually heard about the sacrifice of Jesus in their ceremonies with Great Spirit. It's super fascinating! And how some tribes actually had visions from God telling them they will have "pale-skinned people wearing turtle shells carrying talking leaves" come to their lands soon. (Essentially the Europeans wearing their armour and bringing their Bibles). And basically told them, learn from them and their Bibles, and warned them about the potential conflicts to come. It's a great book if you're interested in this topic more

If you search Naela Rose new age to Jesus on KZread you can find her testimony on it also- it's super powerful and beautiful how she realized the Jesus of the Bible is the only real Jesus and that He truly is the only path to God. Man and woman both illustrate beautiful examples of who God is in different ways though which I definitely did not appreciate fully until giving my life to Jesus! God holds special and unique value for man and woman, it's so beautiful how we complement each other in union for sure! ❤️God bless you

    If we read the Bible correctly both old and new As a psycho spiritual drama. Both old and new We will all come to find that human \ divine parent \ child Flesh \ spirit use of mind \ heart and soul Sin \ holiness They are \ I AM and the concept of God \ living Lord (parent ( Father ) within … it’s a story … in the beginning was the Word (meaning) and it was God and it was Good… before that ~ stillness ~ no Mind ~ how Zen? But in the beggining .. and on we go…. God made msn in OUR image… parental… human parental What has that done bring a child of a woman born of others? So flawed.. the mind we learn how to read further Look at your hands Make them what are there meaning? Well… we need to FEEL for that so we have Adam the namer in us Now we have to put that up sleep Dig inside for Eve our body the one God gave.. now we go in in the garden to taste against Gods instruction He does t have a body yet… no one built one .. He doesn’t understand… this is the story we ALL succumb to… no one is speacail.. we know it’s a story.. a dream… we know Esau was a child of a man a blind one He came out first Second was Jacob First was hairy Second was not First we have that hormonal primal superficail self Deeper we find ‘Jacob’ who in his sleep Wrestles with God wins gets his hip knocked up and awakens and is named Isreal .. that doesn’t make anything walk the same way does it? Who hasn’t done that? From a subconscious feel to a concious recooking? the Old Testament was all child of man of woman of failing the Lord losing the Lord and taking ALL our heart and soul to find this Lord. The story MUST affect this… or else it’s not honoring the soul … the spiritual comes in the new. The relevation of Christ. But we ain’t there yet.. there’s a key there’s a lock There’s a pure expiernce beyond concept Yet we are all nailed on this cross Thorns on our head our hearts hardened feet too The concious body awareness yet when we let go of the concious monster Connect to the Father within we also find a son Inside and as we let go of this ‘I’ we are still we know unless I go away the Holy Spirit will not come and we understand all the story characters have touched on this in story a father to Father a child to a Child This all takes place within the reader the breather the feeler the one aware Who do you say that I AM? It’s hellish and there’s no escape only saving How to find Christ? We can’t bypass the Old Testament just throw it away Nor can we deny the miraculous and surrender less of me more of you do we not realize Jesus Christ is within us? Unless of course we fail to meet the test? Thank you Father for hearing me For I know you have always heard me But he said aloud so the ppl knew in the silence we Hear He hears us and we can FEEL him Listening us differnt FEELING in listening are closely related We know the truth it’s in our I AM He have Himself to us But there is no way to know this make it happen force it meditate on it shamsbic tarot astro it about It’s a gift By Grace when we let go of all that Here it is I AM the Lotd you’re God Here … HEAR OH isreal .. we can’t force this It’s always here Yesterday today forever Until the end of the age He will be with us Then… He becomes us John 3:16 for God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son … the similarities of the Lord speaking to David… the man after His own heart We all have all this .. I AM holds it all But after a heart a soul? Forget the mind … when we find Jesus We find the Son… this is equivalent to reparenting the inner child The subconscious mind which is deeply connected to how we read the world so loved by God Do you not see patterns in your world everywhere? Is not the Bible one huge pattern written by those connected to it? All the the Father ? All for the son? You love the Father Sooo Much the heavenly one Now Can you love the Child? The one born from it? We give .. as He gave .. this isn’t Christian this isn’t Judaism this isnt religious What is it then In the beggining was the word And so human minds and human hands write it… What is the mind then? Before that? After that? And from which it is ALL contained? Shhhh he still And KNOW
