New Age Supernatural
I’ve always been “spiritual.” I’ve tried to put a finger on when it started with me, and the farthest back I can remember was a day when a friend invited me to her house for a seance. I was probably 12 years old. We didn’t know what we were doing, but I think it started there.
My grandmother was a tea leave reader. My other grandmother had a houseful of supernatural things happening in her home.
Both grandmothers had a Ouija Board in their homes. There were appearances and other supernatural happenings in both homes. So to say that I come from that kind of inheritance is to put it mildly. I delved deeply into the teachings of Edgar Cayce, and from studying his writings I came to realize I had been incarnated many times and I began to have “memories” of past lives, trying to make them explain this one. For years I lived with awful depression and I was looking for anything that could set me free from it. I had my astrological chart done and when I received the results, what was written ended with “you will always seek but never find.” I had hoped for something encouraging and this totally discouraged me.
Years later a man and woman came into my life and put a Bible into my hands. Well …that presented a conflict. They tried to dissuade me from the occult and new age but I resisted them, telling them there is power in those things so why wouldn’t I want to be involved in those things. The man asked if I’d be willing to listen to a cassette message by Derek Prince on the subject. “Sure,” I said, “why not?” So he turned the cassette player on and the message from Derek Prince changed my life.
The Bible forbids anything having to do with the occult
or the New Age, all of which I was steeped in. I knew I
needed power to be set free from the awful depression,
but I was looking in the wrong source of power. I knew
absolutely nothing about Satan, demons, the very real
and very opposite kingdoms diametrically opposed to
each other.
As I read through that Bible I came across the very Scripture speaking right to my problem.
Jesus spoke of the Satanic kingdom and contrasted it to his Kingdom. He said:
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10
It’s been many years now since that day, and I could never have believed the depth and truth of his statement. He took me from the ash pile and has given me exactly that: “life more abundantly.”
But there’s more.
