I watched a YouTube video about new age practices, law of attraction, crystals and stuff and how it’s really trying to take you away from God (btw I respect everyone’s beliefs, I believe in God though and I think this stuff has affected me negatively)
So LOA itself I completely believed in, I always knew that any kind of spirituality or supernatural anything that didn’t come from God or the Bible was not something I wanted to be involved in, but there was things that let me to believe they go hand in hand (Mark 11:24)
And a lot that can be found in these new age books is things that have been twisted and regurgitated from the Bible. Anyways so I watched the secret and manifested things but there was always parts of it I wanted to stay away from because it was giving dodgy vibes.
I bought some books about manifestation (I think 4) and I ended up throwing them all away, some straight away and some a couple hours in because they had things in them that I explicitly knew from the Bible I should stay away from
That really should’ve been when I clocked to stay away from it all because how can I do something that on the surface I think is fine but when you look deeper into it, it’s demonic, why on earth would I continue to do the surface part? Bc it worked, loa does work
When I first discovered it I told everyone I knew to look into it because I wanted it to work for them and I wish I didn’t do that but I had good intentions and I thought it would help us to get where we wanted to go.
One person that I told didn’t believe in it and I was so onto him to believe bc I just wanted him to do well but he didn’t, and the thing he wanted to do didn’t exactly work out how he wanted but now he has a completely different career that he’s choosing over the other one -
Over the one I told him to manifest, he could have still done that one it would’ve just been a bit longer, but God had a different path for him clearly and it’s a better one for him.
You can still create all the great things you want in your life without using things like crystals and manifesting and all of that stuff, through your faith in God. He blesses us everyday. (Matthew 7:7)
Something I got so involved in is astrology and star signs and that’s another thing that I thought was good on the surface (birth charts) but I didn’t want to be involved in horoscopes (anymore) or tarot cards of anything like that.
It was just silly of me because if you think something is giving any kind of dodgy demonic anything at the more in depth parts of it, the pretty and easy surface part isn’t good either.
I never lost my faith in God and with other things I would always say that anything spiritual or supernatural that doesn’t come from God, I don’t want it. I don’t know why it didn’t apply to LOA, it just seemed good to me.
But anything that takes you away from God is not good, no matter how amazing it may seem because knowing God is the most amazing blessing on this earth.
I have always had Faith, but I’m not super knowledgeable on the Bible and I don’t know as much as I’d like to. I’m not aiming to preach or judge anyone for their beliefs, I literally believed in it. If you’re happy with what you believe in that’s good and completely up to you
I’m just saying this on here because when I discovered loa I told everyone and their mum about it, I’ve probably tweeted about it loads and I just don’t want to encourage someone to do something that might cost them their faith in God.
As well staying away from astrology was and is really hard for me which might sound silly but I really wanted to engage in certain conversations. There’s no good reason for talking about star signs to be that tempting.
