From New Age to Redemption
Embracing God’s Calling and Leaving the Occult Behind
Before my conversion, I fully embraced New Age beliefs. When God began calling me, I resisted mightily.
Challenging Beliefs and Confronting the Occult
I wanted to keep practicing the occult: manifestations, energy work, astrology, tarot readings, and witchcraft. I felt skilled and had a sense of purpose and power. I didn’t want to lose all my previous efforts.
But God punished me severely to save me. I didn’t want to ‘sit at the table of demons and God.’ God began deconstructing my inner being. I became dissatisfied with everything and analyzed my own beliefs.
Suddenly, I wanted different things. I was thinking differently and had different interests. My attitude changed without effort.
Embracing Divine Purification and Finding Endless Love in God’s Word
I was washed clean immediately. Although my life is now harder, I am hungry for God’s Word. My love for Him through His Word is endless. He claimed me and put His fear in me. He is worthy of all praise and honor.
After He laid His Spirit on me, not before, I wanted Him. He works independently of human invocation, as His Word says. He is beyond powerful and put His fear in me.
