Mature believers in Christ know that there are only two paths a person can take in this life.  One leads to death; the other to life everlasting.

Followers of Jesus also know that there are only two religions in the entire world.  One involves the worship of the one true God.  The other is the false system of demonic alternatives, some of which were invented in ancient Iran and which were spread to India, and eventually throughout Asia.  Sadly, many of those ancient, false religions, practices, and beliefs have made their way to the west and are now interspersed with western culture.  And not everyone realizes that these religions and eastern practices are rooted in the demonic – Satanism.

 

Yoga, TM, and Martial Arts 

 

Yoga, Transcendental Meditation, and the martial arts have made their way into American and other western cultures.  Most people believe them, particularly yoga, just harmless forms of exercise, stress relievers, or fighting arts.

In truth, yoga was created to open doors to the demonic, to Hindu gods.  It seems harmless enough and good for staying in shape, but it was created for a reason.  As a form of worship to Hindu gods.  Actually, demons, since, in reality, Hindu gods are false.

The true God of Heaven abhors man’s worship of false gods, so it is clear that true believers in Christ should stay away from this and other eastern practices.

Yoga is a spiritual activity with a demonic agenda at its core.  Some call it Satanic witchcraft, so don’t believe it is harmless.  There are dangers involved with yoga because you are opening yourself up to demonic attack.  It is repackaged Satanism and opens people up to occultic, Satanic powers.  It is not just stretching and breathing exercises.  It is much worse than that.  In fact, Tantric yoga worships female deities; hatha yoga is sun worship.  Regardless, all of these eastern practices are forms of idolatry – the worship of false gods – which the one true God of Heaven condemns.  The mighty I AM is a jealous God and will not tolerate this evil behavior, especially among His people. (Exodus 20:4-6)

I am sure that in some way, most of us are guilty of playing with or practicing forms of yoga or meditation or even learning karate, taekwondo, judo, or other forms of martial arts at some point in our lives because we just didn’t know any better.  Some of the basics of these are even taught children in school, in physical education classes.  Hollywood movies, however, are what have mainly opened up our minds to such things, and growing children, as we all know, are prone to experimentation.  So no doubt we are all guilty of this sin in some way, shape, or form, albeit unknowingly.  We certainly didn’t learn the truth about these practices in church while growing up.  At least I never did.

According to Dr. Vito Rallo, a Christian and former five-time National Karate Champion, the martial arts actually developed over a long period of time, coming through Hindu priests.  It was “downloaded”, he says, through the spiritual realm, as was yoga.  The martial arts actually came through the yoga aspects.  It did not develop on its own.  It took meditation, divination, and occult activities to develop it.

Rallo says that martial arts and yoga cannot be separated from the original source.  Without the spiritual aspects of martial arts, you cannot separate and receive the power that it takes to operate in any martial art.  One cannot take the actual aspects of fighting or defending because the actual power used in the martial arts is the chi, or prana.  “That power has to come from somewhere,” says Rallo.  “It cannot be snatched from thin air and applied to your training.  Fuel must come from somewhere in order to fuel the martial arts and give it the power that it needs.”

“What is really happening here,” according to Rallo, is that “Hinduism is infiltrating our society through these eastern occultic practices.”  Rallo also states that Hinduism and New Age are the same thing, just under a new name.  It is just one more way the enemy is using to try and wipe out Christianity from the earth.

 

Psychics, Mediums, and Astrology

 

Psychics and mediums seem to be perfectly acceptable in this day and age.  In fact, if you watch any of the paranormal television shows out there today, you will notice how psychics and spirit mediums are called in to help people whose homes are being haunted before a Spirit-filled Christian who knows about deliverance and spiritual warfare are even considered to be brought in to help.  Even priests are often of no help.  They often just bless the house, which is usually only a temporary fix.  They don’t actually cleanse the evil from it.

There are also psychic hotlines, which are all the rage.  It is a growing industry that people will gladly put their money down on, not caring or being aware that many of the so-called psychics are actually frauds.  They will make up anything you want to hear, for a price.

The Holy Bible itself tells believers to stay away from such people and not to dabble in these things, which are all forms of witchcraft or sorcery.  When we involve ourselves with these, we are in direct disobedience to God’s Word, the Bible.  We are also opening ourselves up to spirits other than God’s.  This is also one reason why séances are a bad idea.  People open themselves up to all sorts of evil spirits when playing with that form of witchcraft.  We are also turning away from true faith in Jesus Christ and are not really looking to God for guidance but to the occult.  The Bible clearly forbids us from having anything to do with these things or these sorts of people:

“Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them:  I am the LORD your God.”  (Leviticus 19:31 KJV)

“And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.”  (Leviticus 20:6 KJV)

“And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter:  should not a people seek unto their God?  for the living to the dead?”  (Isaiah 8:19 KJV)

God also commands us to have nothing to do with astrology or idol worship:

“And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.  (Deuteronomy 4:19 KJV)

“And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;”  (Deuteronomy 17:3 KJV)

“Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels.  Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

“Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame:  there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

“Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast labored, even thy merchants, from thy youth:  they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.”  (Isaiah 47:13-15 KJV)

“Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

“Thus saith the LORD, ‘Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven:  for the heathen are dismayed at them.’”  (Jeremiah 10:1-2 KJV)

“And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.”  (Daniel 1:20 KJV)

Be sure to stay away from the Ouija board as well.  I think many of you already know how dangerous those can be.  Many have opened doors to the enemy and became possessed by evil entities by playing with these things.  The entire Exorcist movie was based on the true story of a young boy who became possessed because he played with an Ouija board.  It was not just harmless fun.  Our own ignorance can open doors to Satan that we should learn to keep closed.

God’s Word says, in Hosea 4:6, that “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”  This is exactly the sort of thing He is referring to.  We must read and study the Holy Bible, the Holy Scriptures, daily and meditate on the truth of God’s Word.  If we love God and want to walk in obedience with Him, with His commandments and laws, then we need to seek after knowledge of good and evil and become informed.

 

Choose Life

 

When people deal with darkness, evil can enter their lives and destroy them, if they are not careful and wise to the enemy’s tactics.  God would have us to live and be happy.  He has given us laws and commandments He wants us to be obedient to.  But ignorance of His Word and His Laws keeps people in bondage to Satan.  God knows everything that will help us be happy and live that abundant life He has promised us as His adopted heirs.  He promises us eternal life if we will but choose to follow Him and develop a personal relationship with Him.  Because He loves us and does not want to see anyone fall to the Adversary and be eternally destroyed.

Understanding our enemy and learning to stand against his wiles will help us walk with God as He wants us to.  True, born-again, Spirit-filled believers have all authority over the enemy.  God promises us this.  But He would not have His people to be ignorant.  Delve into His Word and search out the Truth for yourself.

Luke 16:13 says that “No servant can serve two masters:  for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.  Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”  So here, God is giving us a choice.  Accept Him and live.  Or choose death.  The choice is yours.

 

“…Choose you this day whom ye will serve…But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”  (Joshua 24:15 KJV)

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”  (Hosea 4:6 KJV)

“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 16:25 KJV)
