From New Age, Witchcraft & Paganism to Jesus | Powerful Christian Testimony

Summary

I grew up in a nominal Presbyterian family without a deep, consistent faith. In my early twenties, family estrangement and painful personal challenges left a void that I desperately tried to fill with New Age practices. I wandered into circles of raiki, affirmations, Kundalini Yoga, and even darker pagan rituals—including flower essence therapies—all in search of healing and meaning. Over time, these practices revealed their counterfeit nature and dangerous spiritual ties. Through divine intervention—manifested in vivid dreams and the gentle guidance of fellow believers—God began breaking the strongholds of occult deception in my life. With heartfelt repentance, I embraced the saving truth of Jesus Christ, discovering that only His love and grace can truly restore and sustain me. Today, I live a renewed life rooted in obedience, prayer, and the transformative power of the Bible.
