The fourth
unifying factor of the New Age Movement is a cosmic
evolutionary optimism. There is a New Age coming. There will
be a new world order with a one-world government. New Agers
believe in a progressive unification of world consciousness
eventually reaching the "omega point."
This is a counterfeit kingdom and we know who its prince is.

Fifth,
New Agers create their own reality. They believe they can
determine reality by what they believe, so by changing what
they believe, they can change reality.
There are no moral absolutes because there is no distinction
between good and evil.
-
Sixth,
New Agers make contact with the kingdom of darkness.
Calling a medium a "channeler" and a demon a
"spirit guide" has not changed the reality of what
they are. They are in contact with the god of this world
instead of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Recently I
received a call from a lady who was concerned about the turn of
events in a small group she was attending. It had started out as a
group of supposedly Christian women.
One woman began to function as a medium, and they thought they
were hearing from God. They recorded six hours of videotape, and
in that six hours, five different personalities can be identified
in the medium. The group was convinced they were hearing from God,
Jesus, the Holy Spirit and two angels.
The lady functioning as a medium was later identified as not being
a Christian.
In the tape her eyes roll back in a trancelike state. At one point
a voice says through her, "It's going to snow here
tomorrow." I'm surprised that when it didn't snow the next
day, they couldn't see the snow job being done on them!
How can a thinking person, professing to be a Christian, consider
this as anything other than demonization? But it isn't just lonely
homemakers who are being deceived. This deception is invading
every area of society today.
Prayer:
Father, keep me alert to the deception of New Age thinking
around me, and help me dismiss the darkness I encounter with the
light of Your truth. |
