Catholics are often accused of idolatry for their use of images and statues in their worship spaces. However, the Catholic position on idols is that the commandment against graven images refers specifically to other gods, not to images in general. In fact, God prescribed the use of images in worship in the Tabernacle and the Temple. Catholics place images and statues of saints as memorials to inspire and remember them, and to ask for their intercession and companionship in their worship of God. Catholics do not worship idols or images, but the real presence of God in the Eucharist.
Jesus is our only intercessor, and our High Priest.
Hebrews 4:14-16
1 Timothy 2:5
🙏🏼 amen thank you for this post.
@Major003 have you ever had someone ask you to pray for them? If you have prayed on behalf of a friend you interceded.
If a friend goes up to you and says “hey can you pray for me?” And you say “yes” and then you pray for them.. you have interceded (:
Jesus is Our Savior - and we only worship Him. That doesn’t mean we can’t ask the people in heaven (who are way closer to God than we are) to pray for us! The people in heaven are more alive than the people on earth!
@@Major003 Who founded your "religion"? Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church.
Idols aren’t just of wood and metal but in your heart. Your job, car, sports, wrong thoughts, people… can be idols. Only Jesus and deliverance can get rid of idols
Criminally underrated comment. Stay well.
Well idols also come in the form of object.. just like The Bible said BURN THEM !🔥
God knows our hearts he knows we love things and he meets are where we are at.
Are the protestants gonna change the books again?
Well you may have to move away from suburbs since many make you need a car. And isolate you from everything else.
some people like to talk about things they dont understand, Catholics do NOT worship images, they are just items that most of us like to keep because the art work is beautiful or they are objects that have been passed down through generations. Meditation and prayer brings us closer in relationship with God and helps us through difficult times and challenges in life. They encourage us to carry him in our hearts and life throughout every day in our lives. it annoys me when people do no study in the religions they like to critique only to show themselves ignorant of what they speak. This is what makes us divides into groups that evil and the demonic find easy to infiltrate into our lives.
Totally!
exactly!
Really!!! Then how come when I watched a program about divers diving deep down, and they came upon a statue of Mary. They started to kiss the statues feet. If that isn't an idol, I don't know what is.
Ppl just making RUclips just to make a RUclips like girl get out of that religion world, and become a spiritual person and find out your purpose on this earth because we all have agreed signed contracts 🙄
She already sound stupid in thumb down that shit real quick like girrrrl 🙄
I’m a catholic and I think a lot of people get this wrong.. Catholics don’t worship Mary, we are reading the same Bible. We know we cannot have idols, we don’t idol Mary but we pray to her because she is a representation of how we should be and because we are asking her to pray for us
So we are just praying to her to ask for her to pray to us ( like how we would ask somebody on earth to pray for us )
Why would you ask Mary to intercede when Jesus is our intercessor? Can I ask my dead friend to pray for me too?
@@CS-yn2wg thats obviously diffrent, mary is holy and is in heavan with god already, she isnt dead
@@CS-yn2wg you can ask your dead friend to pray for you, yes
Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing.
I was a yoga teacher part time and reiki healer. I got rid of everything 2 years ago. Holy Spirit convinced me loud and clear. Jesus is so good and merciful he did it with love
You don’t do yoga anymore?
I heard yoga is like calling up a certain demon, is it true
@@violetgodwin677 no I don't fly stretching and pilates
Downt you see wath your pic is telling.
So very proud of you. Well done.
I had a bunch of old pictures in a box. Some good, but most of me partying and getting wild. The Lord told me to get rid of them. So I burned them. Then the Lord told me to delete every selfie of me off of my Facebook page. It took 7 hours to do that. I realized that day that I’m very vain. A couple weeks later, He had me get off Facebook altogether. There was no longer a reason to have it if I wasn’t going to post selfies, debate people about politics/religion, or brag lol Praise God, He broke those chains.
Hallelujah!! May He continually prune us to produce good fruits for Him 🙏 in Jesus name amen
I only use FB to warn people about the new age deception and the satanic infiltration / corruption of Gods Kingdom through spiritualiry, sexuality; politics, education, big pharma, technonogy, hollywood, music industry, clothing ect ~ above all to share the Word of God & True Teachings of Jesus Christ . I believe everyone deserve to know the Truth of God and receive for Salvation (whether they choose this or not, is their choice alone) . That was how I came to the Truth myself , as I God guided me to people who went from New Age to True Christianity 🙏❤🕊
@@christie3296 praise the Lord. There’s nothing in Scripture condemning Facebook. For me, it was making me idolize myself. It doesn’t do that to everyone who has it. I used to spend 3+ hours a day looking at Facebook and ignoring my husband and kids
Oh my goodness, I so appreciate your honesty! I had to chuckle as I can relate!
Goodbye FAKEbook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💜
Hi! I just ran across your video and I completely understand where you are coming from! I was a witch for 27 years. TWENTY SEVEN YEARS. God started working in my to turn me toward him and I have not looked back. My first church service was Easter of last year and I was saved last August, baptized last month! Praise God! It didn't occur to me right away to dig deep to find these things, stumbling blocks, to throw away. The Holy Ghost convicted me one day and I was like a mad woman tearing my house apart looking for ANYTHING that did not serve the Lord. Let me tell you after 27years of collecting, that was a lot of stuff. I burned anything that would burn , all my books, cards, and notes and papers. I destroyed anything else that wouldn't. I felt freed to the utmost when I let these things go. Still finding things here and there too. I thank God everyday that He saved me. I love coming across people like you that have such a contrasting past to how they live now. I can really relate and feel like God will use our testimonies to help save more souls.
Amen sister! Happy He has saved your life and soul. 😌
HALLELUJAH!!! God is good 🔥🙏❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
So funny I keep throwing away tarot card decks but new ones keep popping up in my home. How many of those did I own?! Haha
There's nothing wrong with having a yoga mat or blocks etc. I don't do yoga but I often use these tools for physiotherapy (which I need to do). I think it's kind of dangerous making people scared of things like that. Fair enough about symbols and stuff but a plain yoga mat is a sheet of foam to cushion your joints when stretching and exercising - which is very healthy! I don't believe God would want us to injure ourselves just because of fear of these sorts of items.
I'm pretty sure that's not what she meant when she said to get rid of your yoga mats obviously she was implying to those people that were doing yoga before with having those yoga mats so it's better to get rid of them instead of being tempted into using it to do yoga again
In my belief there's nothing wrong with yoga or meditation, as long you aren't worshipping other gods by doing it. When studying religion in college, I realized then that meditation practices in Buddha could be beneficial to your health. And no I'm talking about praying or worshipping Buddha. I'm talking about relaxing and clearing your head, there's nothing evil about that. I once heard someone say that when we pray that's us talking to God. When we meditate that's when we listen to God. We all have to do what we personally feel convicted to do.
@@slgleaton375 as Christians we are supposed to meditate in prayer through the Holy Ghost in Jesus Christ's mighty name to Father God but when you're doing yoga in general you're doing the acts that literally came to be because of Hinduism.
@@orangejuicethanks yes apologies that is what I mean, thank you
@@slgleaton375I agree. Deep prayer feels the same as deep meditation. I think neuroscience has even shown they give the same benefits after doing brain scans on a older monk and a priest. I’m a big proponent of breathing meditation practice. Catholic also teaches different types (praying rosary, etc). I feel that it’s important to understand if your faith align with type of meditation by studying before practicing. I can understand why certain forms of meditation do not align with Christian faith & should be avoided. It’s important to be convicted in our faith but also see how there are meditation practices that don’t conflict with our faith. A lot of yoga in the states isn’t practiced with Hindu spiritual traditions. I feel like for Christians with low discernment, they say to avoid everything but there are secular yoga and meditation that’s done without any spiritual context/teachings that seems appropriate if it’s strengthening your relationship with God & not pulling you to focus on yourself as God/ other Gods.
I'm alcohol free for over five years.
Praise God, I'm so happy for you!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hallelujah
All praise, worship and glory to the living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God the Creator is gathering His children. Amen.
Congratulations it takes courage and hard work. Be proud of yourself and be a testimony to others.
I’ve just had a vodka and tonic🙏And I have a rosary!
30 years ago when I was 16 years old, I was wearing a necklace and I don't remember what the symbol was that was on it. But I was at church and we had just finished praise and worship and I sat down and looked down at the floor and saw my charm on the floor but my necklace was still fully intact. Well after the service was over I took that outside and buried it. When the Lord wants us to get rid of things, sometimes He will let us really know like letting us come across these videos, having your charm fall off your necklace supernaturally. And it's not just get rid of things, but I've learned when the Lord speaks, it's time to listen 😊 God bless
So true.✔👏
I had a EXORSUM and have crucifixes, some Christians think its wrong. I tell you the demons hate the crucifix.
How do you know it was the Lord?
I bought what I thought was a silver cross at a church sale and a wiccan friend at school explained that it was a magical object!!
It was shapped like an addtition sign with little natural stones. I wrapped it in a napkin and threw it away.
Well for me, every time one of my religious items fall or break, things start going very badly in my life. It’s the devil that’s fighting me
Amen!
I used to wear evil eyes, yin yangs, hamsa symbols, and all of that. Every single time I wore that stuff I felt weighed down, depressed, anxious, and incredibly self conscious. One day something told me “don’t put them on” and I didn’t, I have not felt that light and happy in so long! Ever since I stopped wearing those things my severe depression and anxiety went away and it’s amazing!
The power of almighty God. He takes the burden for you. It’s cause theirs evil in those things that you wore. Thankfully you listened to God and this is a sign ❤that he is really with you
@@emilypaucar5945 He is so wonderful! The day I took off those symbols was the day I started my walk with God. It’s amazing how he makes everything fall into place! 💞
I always fealt weird about the evil eye symbol...I believe if you feel something go with it ..angel statues are beautiful and bring ppl peace so the statue thing is wack
To me, all the items Ruocca lists are obvious to get rid of. But they do need to be mentioned. I used to be kind of a hippie and I got rid of anything and everything hippie-related, like iye dye shirts and hippie music and anything hippie-related because they represent drug and alcohol use and things created from an altered state of mind. But this video is wonderful. I don't know why anyone would condemn it. It's information that needs to get out there to those that might be clueless.
It gets condemned when you don’t want to receive the truth. That’s why it’s important to check all things out to make sure they have their origin in Jesus.
agree, it used to be harder to get rid of these things, but not as much now. i no longer do ' holi days or even birthdays, it's unescescary and prideful. no pictures on walls, no photos or certain cards. I like coloring but will avoid the mandella type pictures, anything " zen' like. lotuses, etc. a friend gave me a couple plates cuz I had none, but they have mandella designs on them so I got some different ones and want to get rid of the first ones, was a bit worried she'd be offended if I gave them back, but she is aware of my beliefs and avoidance of certain things. I've explained to her why I don't have certain items etc in the house. I pray she gets free of the new age stuff she's into. I don't feel comfortable going into her place because of items there. I don't even miss having these things around, don't even notice anymore. it's just garbage, takes up space. no keepsakes to " remember" people or events by, that's how idolatry begins. Adultery and Idolatry are similar in that their both about being unfaithful, Adultery is being unfaithful to spouse and institution created by God, and idolatry is being unfaithful to God. A lot easier to clean too! though I do read secular books from the library, that's probably gotta stop too. AS I'm a bit disabled and cannot walk or go out much, it's hard to stay occupied, especially in winter.
Kind of a hippie or “a” hippie?
You can’t be “kind of” a bad person. Either you are or you aren’t.
Alcohol is called spirits for a reason. God delivered me 27 years ago praise God!
Not funny
I am a 74 yr young Christian female. Many years ago my life was so good, I had a happy marriage, my 16 yr old daughter was in a good place. I could not have asked for more or better. My husband and I both had great, fulfilling careers, we were very happy. We had just moved into a beautiful home and started decorating. I bought new furniture for my living room and since my decorations had an Asian theme, I purchased a large Buddha and an Asian statue that stood in the floor, about 3.5 ft tall, it probably was some form of god also. Almost from day one of bringing those things into my home, my life started turning around. I lost my job, my beautiful daughter was attacked by a boy from her school and she was brutally raped. My happy marriage started falling apart to the point of divorce. I had no idea why it was happening. Some 30 years later I rededicated my life to the Lord and lived a Christian life. My furniture was put into a storage facility and was vandalized everything that wasn’t destroyed was taken, so when I finally woke up and smelled the coffee, no one had to tell me, I realized that my God is a jealous God and He will not be second to any other god, even a false god!!! I have no idea where those idols ended up, but, I pray the thief didn’t put them in their home or sell them to some unsuspecting person. If I had it to do over, I would have broken them to bits, so no one else would live under that curse. I have since asked God’s forgiveness. I hope this comment helps someone from making that mistake. We have to be so careful in today’s world, there is so much false doctrine out there. Pray daily that Christ will give you a discerning spirit to keep you safe. God bless you all.
Thank you for sharing your testimony. I'm sorry you experienced so much destruction in your life. I'm glad you got to the root of the issue. God bless!
I pray the effects of the locust years are in some way restored
How would God allow a daughter to be brutally raped because of the mistake of a parent. Much less a parent who at the time didn't know any better 🥺 These are the types of things I struggle with in Faith.
@@ems5008 dear father grant Diane more faith and confidence in you. Grant her a glimpse of your great love and mercy. Amen.
Amen! 🙏
Imagine invading someone else’s stuff and ripping it up just because you disagree, if you wanted him to get rid of it why not just Yk talk to him, communicate, communicating is the foundation of a relationship
Right? I guess I better hide my stuff if she's coming over. Clearly she's okay with destroying the property of others if she deems it to be "not of God"
I already wrote a comment about it but yeah that sounds like psychosis or delusion. If my partner did that to my art I'd be calling a psych ward
I agree. As a married couple, spouses need to communicate with each other. Her going behind his back and destroying his art wasn't cool. He became angry about what she did, causing dissension between them. Scripture tells us to approach one another if we believe sin is involved. Communication is everything in a marriage.
She's protecting her family. I'm sure her husband sees she's right now.
Você não sabe se ela se comunicou com ele…
I just wanted you to know that I felt very convicted by the Holy Spirit in the middle of your video and threw away 4 items I hadn’t fully realized were unholy. I came back when I was done and finished your video! Thank you! ❤
It is written you must never worshipp idols that's simple Mary is dead waiting on a resurrection also so be wise people don't invite demons Mary is a stone read the commandment also pslams one fifteen
What were the items?
I don’t believe meditation is wrong. A lot of Christian people actually meditate.
As long as your meditating on the word of God, great that will help you to get closer to God 🙏👑☝️🙌, start a relationship with God, that is what God wants from us.
The scriptures say we should meditate on the Word. I think that word comes down to a specific person’s definition.
Meditation as in the emptying of your mind, like some eastern religions, is not ok.
Meditating as in filling your mind with scriptures and your prayers to God is wonderful and brings peace.
Exactly. I meditate to help with my anxiety, depression, and ptsd. It's part of what my therapist has recommended to me for self care
It simply lowers cortisol. It’s scientific. But hey.. uh .. Christians are.. just following orders😂
@@elijimenez7710 wrong. The real ones know because they have seen the proof. You just dont know.
I’m a new believer. Sometimes I feel like a revolving door. I get rid of things that I believe are not of God, then later on I start doubting my life and what I believe in, then I accumulate more things, come back to God, throw them out, etc. I also tend to hoard some things so throwing out anything in general can be a challenge. Sometimes I wonder if I pushed myself away from God because I got too carried away with trying to do the right thing, realizing that is a very high standard to set for myself. Now, I’m trying to be more patient with myself and trying to learn about God in an authentic way and not falling into a frenzy. Anyway, I enjoyed this video; thanks for sharing.
Hey Kai 👋
Thanks for sharing your struggle. Keep praying and keep reading the word of God. You cannot drink from the cup of demons and off the Lord. You have to choose one. 1 Corinthians 10:21Choose today whom you shall serve. Joshua 24:15
God cares about you and loves you but you have to put in the steps to beat good fruit in keeping with repentance Matthew 3:8
i understand what you mean of going in weird circles- there was a time in my life where I exclusively stopped listening to secular music and I remember deleting each song from my playlist that was secular and it was hard, (especially because secular music is like everywhere even if your not playing it yourself). But then I slowly overtime loss the conviction and started listening to secular music, I pick and choose- but I got deeper into it, now I don't listen to much music cause of storage space-I only listen to Florence Pugh's songs and covers now-but that was mainly because of my limited storage lol) looking back I don't think I was the best version of myself when l didn't listen to secular music -I think i was-well i was very judgmental of people and now i see that could be a religious spirit. So I agree with you in trying to learn about God in an authentic way and not falling into a frenzy and being patient with yourself!
@@Ruocca thank you. I will start doing that.
@@chioma2844 yea I also went through something similar with music. I deleted a lot of ungodly music. Some people say even gospel music can still present the same issues because some of the gospel artists aren’t keeping God as the main focus. Idk, I don’t know anyone’s heart. I will leave that to them and God, and pray for discernment for myself. Can I live a life without music? I love music. But then I wondered if I love music more than I love God. Im taking a look at any idols in my life and trying to focus on what’s most important. So, I’m just going to continue on my journey and seek God the best way I can.
Me too! Glad not to be alone!
I exercise with my yoga mat, I also pray on it and thank God for my body and abilities. It's all about intention.
I do yoga as well and i totally agree, it’s all about intention.
@@lala_alabetter to just walk for exercise intentions and workout. Cardio is bad as it makes you feel more hungry than before
@@bailujen8052 Yoga is fine. Quit worrying.
Stretching is one thing but Yoga is something else. Yoga equally Hinduism and shiva
@@emilycryder1096 yoga is literally contorting your body to worship false gods.
Reading some of the responses as to why folks keep certain items because they don’t make it an “idol” in their life, or that they pray to Mary and the saints in heaven just brings me back to when God sent his people out of Egypt and told them NOT to intermarry with the children of the other lands. WHY???? Because God knew what was gonna happen. Their customs would infiltrate the holiness of his people, and guess what, IT HAPPENED! I pray for those who find offense in this young lady’s video and they read the scriptures and ask God to confirm for them all that she said. A good brother or sister of Christ will not want to lead you astray, but help you on the road to victory. ❤
I had the flower of life printed out and placed it under my bed for protection. Experienced the most traumatic nightmares. I threw it out as soon as I realised what I was involving myself in.
A therapist can deal with deeper issues as your subconscious may have become threatened and revolted against it. Projection is 90% of nightmares and how you view the world. Plus if a family member hates you, they could have sent hate energy your way if you told them about the intention of it. Lastly, you have to see and acknowledge the "stuff" as it's driven away, and you could have experienced purging, and that's no picnic, but I wish you well, and always keep close to God in all things. Peace in Christ Jesus. Amen
Lol physics Gave you nightmares that's funny.
@@gnarlydewd lol
I used to work at a grocery store and one of our regular customers was a known witch. Whenever she came through one of our lines she would either try to put her hands on our hands or come up next to us and put her hands on our shoulders and we learned to avoid her and step away from her when she tried to do that period I always prayed for God's protection against her schemes and I rebuked any evil spirits coming from her. She truly gave me the creeps. She looked like a normal sweet lady but when she started talking I knew there was something not right about her. If she disagreed with somebody in our line she would tell them she was going to put a curse on them. I thank the Lord for protecting me from her.
Oh my goodness that's crazy spooky!! That's could you prayed & rebuked that wicked witch. Wow, that's good to know when you said she looked nice. You just never know & she was a witch. I'd freak if I ever saw or encountered one. But as Christians that's what we're to do. Be string in our faith & God & fight these evil things or satan!!!!
@@divine2297 yes we were all careful around her.
she put hand on other shouder to steal their blessing (good energy/luck/ as they call it) it could be financial/love/health blessing. God give people different blessing depend on his will (and it always good) but some people unhappy with what they get and decide to steal from other. Before I didn't have Holy spirit in me, every time witches put hand on my shoulder, I had to put my hand back on theirs to break the energetic chain they created to steal my blessing. With time they learn that I know their tricks, and they only put their hands on my shoulder from behind when I look away. But with the Holy spirit, there are not many things they can do. Thanks God.
Lmao
lmao this will be me as an old lady just to scare weird religious people 😂 this comment section is comical
I threw away my sage, spiritual books, incense, evil eye bracelets and crystals. I felt a huuuuuge sense of relief afterward! I have a big lotus flower half sleeve tattooed on my arm. Now, I kind of regret it… idk what to do about it though.
You can use it as a witnessing tool, if someone asks you about it, you can give them your testimony of how you left the new age movement and found Christ.
How about furniture tables with claw feet some carvings in furniture witchcraft is the number 2 religion in the US
See if you can have something cover it, I realize the Lord hates tattoos, it's there. Perhaps pray and ask for forgiveness and an opportunity to get it removed?.
Save your money to get it removed sister and pray to our Lord for guidance. May His blessings be upon you
Tattoo Noah's ark over it
It’s so crazy I thought I had gave away everything new age years ago crystals , jewelry, gratitude/ manifest journals, but this weekend I happened to be in my restroom and boom I instantly looked at my sink and I had two lil Buddha heads on them. I never knew they were Buddha heads because I never practiced Buddhism before. I just bought them years ago for aesthetic purpose for a relaxation vibe God will open your eyes if you ask him to. I thank God for his Grace I immediately through them out it’s so crazy how we can over look things it’s been in my new home for over a year now so mind blowing.
Me too what a waste of money 😭 but glad I get rid of it
gratitude journals?!
What is wrong with gratitude journals?
My wife says: "You are a good teacher using the Bible to back up your eleven points. This video will help people who are trying to leave worldly, demonic practices behind. Very enlightening."
She doesn’t use the Bible one time in this whole video!
Wives are a pain in the a**
@@lordavalon3413 lol
@arcturian starseed anything that is idolatry is idolatry.
The "evil eye" isn't demonic simply because it has nothing to do with Christianity. It is demonic because it's a tool to take your faith away from God. It gives people the impression that God's protection isn't enough, and that they **must** wear this "evil eye" for safety and protection.
@eastmeetswest3330 um try again. Plenty of scriptures displayed across the screen . .
Hello. I definitely agree with some of the things that you mentioned. I only found out recently that dream catchers are not a good thing to have around a Christian home. I had one in my room for my entire childhood just as a decoration. I ended up getting rid of it. I do want to give you some info about statues of Jesus’ mother Mary and Saint statues. I am Catholic and know that it is a misconception that Catholics pray to statues, Mother Mary and the Saints. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We have statues of Jesus, Mary and the Saints not to worship them as idols, but rather to remind us that we should be holy like they are. We also do not pray to Mother Mary and the Saints. Rather, we ask them to pray for us like we ask friends and family to pray for us. I say all of this in love. Your video was meant to share wisdom with the information given. I also hope to share some wisdom with the information that I am giving. God bless you!
Thank you for explaining that here. Good to know that there's many if us that understand this. Thank you to this young lady coming out to all and opening the eyes of many who, by not knowing, worship and or have objects, items statues that contaminate their homes and spirit with the evil one.
Beautifully said! God bless you immensely ❤
Thank you Theresa Marie for giving the correct explanation of statues & saints & other holy reminders & asking for prayers from our loved ones who have passed on to heavenly bliss & our blessed mother, Mary, & saints. God bless us all.& Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏
As a Catholic myself I have to respectfully disagree with you in regards to the statues. While you may use it as a reminder, I’ve been to Catholic Churches where there are kneeling bars built into the railing that’s right in front of the statue. It’s something that has really bothered me the past few years.
And we can’t ignore the fact that in Exodus 20:4, it states “ You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below”
@@desirayarmstrong2025 thank you so much for being respectful in your response. Yes, there are kneelers in front of statues in churches. I personally kneel before statues in churches in prayer not because I am praying to the statue but because it helps me to concentrate on prayer by seeing the face of Jesus, Mother Mary, etc. If we are not supposed to make ourselves any images of anything of heaven, earth, or in the water, than as Christians we should not have any pictures of family, friends or pieces of artwork of any kind as well. We have to look at verses in the Bible in the correct context. If you continue to read into Exodus 20: 5 it says in relation to creating images “You shall not bow down to them or serve them...” In the Catholic Church we do not bow down and serve the holy images in our homes and churches just like one would not bow down and serve a picture of a family member or a piece of artwork. We bow down and serve God alone. The holy images are a reminder of holiness and can help us concentrate in prayer. I am so glad that we can have a charitable conversation about this. God bless!
You are mistaken. A dream catcher in the modern day is merely a symbol of our cultural heritage. Most Native Americans are Christian (like myself) or atheists, very few practice the old ways.
It’s the intention of why the dreamcatcher was invented. You were not paying attention.
I will say (as someone who agrees with 10/11 things on your list) that the only reason I still have a yoga mat is to have a smooth surface I can lay my back upon when doing sit-ups, so I'm not always scratching my back on my hardwood floors or getting brushburn from carpets. I don't practice yoga (and am in the process of convincing my girlfriend not to either), and just find it as a comfortable surface. :) Otherwise I wholeheartedly agree with literally everything you have been saying. :)
why not get a workout mat?
Yoga is good for stretching. It’s the practice of Buddhist meditation that’s not good
Yoga is Hinduism - check out “Becket Cook Show Yoga”, it explains it very well. You can’t “despiritualize” yoga. I tried to do that with meditation for pain management. It was a hectic story but God graciously set me free but not until I broke my tailbone and suffered horribly for months. I broke it during a meditation session. Run a mile from anything that has roots in any religion or philosophy other than that of the bible. Peace ando love in Christ
I agree about the mats and blocks. These are more an exercise aid. Saying to buy “exercise mat” instead of “yoga mat” is playing semantics…. We have complete freedom in Christ. It’s up to us to seek Holy Spirit guidance. I don’t feel convicted of using a mat or block to help me exercise as I am not using it to practice yoga, therefore seeing it as just an object an not a ritualistic item.
I think it depends on the mat. If it has mandalas on it or namaste or anything yoga related, steer clear. God should be honoured in absolutely everything we do.
“I went through my husband’s sketchbook, and I found the lotus he drew, and I ripped it out and threw it away.”
If you can’t see how that crosses a huge line with your husband as far as personal boundaries go - especially for a sketch that isn’t lewd at all - then you’ve officially drunk too much of the Kool-Aid. I would have been upset, too.
Sheesh that is crazy out of boundaries. They call themselves Christians but they forget that real Christians respect other people's boundaries, they don't impose or control others.
I agree. Honor your husband.
You're a horrible wife trying to control your husband
To be more upset over preserving evil items is really interesting.

I just threw a Dream Catcher that I’ve had in my drawer for many years. About a year ago I brought it out of my drawer and put it a container on my dresser even though I’m a Native American I never felt right hanging it up. It was given to my son and had a nice sentiment on the back of the card that described what a dream catcher is for. But after seeing this video, and saying to myself if you mention a dream catcher then I’ll know that I need to let it go even though it was beautifully made. I started to remove the leather around the ring, because it is very nice leather and I I could use it, but the Lord convicted me to throw it all away. Maybe I’ll sleep better now.
We in the group Sewing for Native Nations don't use fabrics, etc with dream catchers, owls, reptiles etc on. Thou the rules varies from tribe to tribe we just want to make sure we don't send something offensive to them. There is a Christian Native American kids school that gets made in Asia Dream catchers Christmas ornaments. Hm.🤔
I haven't had a Christmas tree up for some years. Christmas has become so commercelite these days. And I don't want to have anything with Halloween to do. Satan Worshippers' day.
I call those nightmare catchers. The majority of these folk trinkets, jewelry, art is hexed, so you invite the enemy to hurt your household. Remember unbelievers in less fortunate communities can hate Christian tourists.
@@bmoremom8458 very good point. Thank you🌷
If you read the so called legend about how the dream catcher came to be, you'll find that it is supposedly "spider medicine", the story goes something like, a woman was traveling in the desert and dying of thirst, and supposedly she sees this spider who starts talking to her... and I don't remember all the story, but some how the spider heals her, and saves her life, whatever whatever.... and you know that was a demon talking to her. Dream catchers are demonic through and through!
I HAD A DREAM CATCHER ALSO BUT IT KEPT FALL OUT OF THE WINDOW!! THE LORD GIVES US SIGNS!! 🙏🙏
Meditation helps with mindfulness and helps to deal with stress, panic attacks and depression.
Which one
Is it the godly one or the zen
I use silent meditation and just concentrate on my breathing
I am Catholic and having a statue of Mary is not idolizing her, Mary is someone you venerate, she is our mother that Jesus gave to us, she is someone that intercedes for us, including the saints, I really recommend you to look into Catholicism, you can even make an appointment with a priest and ask him any question or doubt you may have!
But Mary is not our mother even in the bible. Mary is blessed Mary, not mother. How RC come with conclusion that she intercedes for us? Mary cannot give perfect judgement how will she intercedes for us only jesus Christ will be our judge on the last day as he is perfect.
@@Dian-pi2gh It does say so in the Bible if you are to go to John 19:26-27 it will say "When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, ' Woman, here is your mother.'... And so on this verse has so much significacance, meaning Jesus gave us Mary to be our Mother and Jesus loved her very, look into the the appearances of the Virgin Mary and I promise you will see the truth!
@@aliyahcamarena8411
26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[a] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
I believe that Indicates to take care of Mary. And why jesus called Mary woman not mother.
Plus why Mary. Queen of heaven? Bcs jesus is king now but jesus didn't called Mary mother. The concept queen of heaven also did not please god.
Jeremiah 7:18
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
So I don't think we should false Mary diety as queen of heaven. Notice how queen of heaven is related to Moon. So is Mary in RC today. Hmm.
I still wish to learn more.
Thank you for that. Many many years ago when our children were young (I’m 71), we went to Egypt where I had always secretly wanted to go. How we got there was amazing. We had a wonderful time, the people were so kind and helpful and we ended up in a papyrus shop. One of the paintings was so beautiful and called “the river of life”, nothing outwardly offensive. Long story short it was on our lounge wall and of course everyone admired it. Then some years later we had a physical manifestation of a demon which was attacking our daughter. Help! The church sent a man who had been doing “house cleaning”, for many years. He walked in the door and took one look at the painting and told me to take it off the wall now. I got up on the sofa and as I reached for the painting it came off the wall at me! Even took some plaster off the wall. I got a very big freight. Each of our three children had been given a papyrus with their names supposedly written on them. I had bought a translation of the words, not one read the names or made any sense. I was a new Christian at this point and thought no more about it. He told me to rip up the papyruses and I couldn’t- they physically burnt my hands. There were several other things that needed to go including a 9ct gold ring with a beautiful citrine stone. All of these things cost a lot of money and didn’t manifest immediately but over time. It took 3 days to get rid of this big ugly demon that was sitting in my daughter’s room. I can’t answer why it took so long but I looked it in the eye and knew my ministry. Please listen to what this beautiful young lady has said. Yoga in particular is such an in thing and is the biggest deception of all. Since this I have been used by God to do house cleaning here in South Africa and when I’ve visited the UK. The Bible says “my people perish through lack of knowledge”. If you have watched this video and ignore what she has said then I’m very sorry for you. The price you pay is high. I know. Love and blessings in Jesus Christ’s name.
I dont believe those are the reasons why there would be a demon or attack. The thoughts and intentions within the heart and mind could be the cause of the attack. God did not create Crystal's or papyrus tree paper to be used for evil. None of what you or any other Christian's are claiming are true or make any logical or spiritual sence. Crystal's have a natural healing ability. There is nothing evil with Crystal's that grow from the ground. Also meditation is simply focusing the mind on something in a peaceful state of mind in a quiet place. Meditation on a beautiful thought, a poem, a picture of heaven or the Angel's in your mind is just a example of holy things that is not evil or sinful. This woman is spreading false man made information that has nothing to do with serving god. I reported her video as spam and misleading. It's sad, there is so much false man made teachings such as what this woman is preaching. And how the ENERGIES in our bodies are being seen as evil, when everyone in the world was created with energy systems in the body that keep the organs going for survival, is seen now as demonic and evil. Chakras are energy systems we are all born with. There is a giant lack of information and knowledge this woman does not have, as many Christians assume that in which is holy and godly is evil and demonic in their eyes. The body is the Temple of life. I knew a false apostle who tried shutting down the Kundalini energy systems within each person. It's the connection within all the body parts from the Pineal Gland and Pituitary gland that creates what's called A Natural oil and a body part that is the shape of a eye, and it's all connected to the spinal cord and without it nobody would have spiritual abilities and we would all be dead. People who say they are coming out of the new age and into Jesus Christ are spreading a lot of misinformation from not having studied how the human body works, throughout other religions. None of it is evil, demonic or a sin. But there are people who shake sometimes beacuse they are not taking care of their energy points and centers in the body correctly, and than they assume they are being attacked by a demon, having no understanding or knowledge on what is actually happening to them. All yoga is is stretching to get blood flow and for the muscles to heal, nobody has to do any chanting and nobody needs to call on any other gods or demons to do stretching or exercising. Shaking from the Kundalini or from yoga is from lack of water. I've done my research.
Great testimony! This is the stuff people need to know. And, yes, yoga poses are salutations to the sun god, so God's people should stay away from it. Thanks for sharing it
Amen Sister. You have to be careful what you bring into your life. Blessings
Thanks for the eye opener comment sir
I know a few people who had Egyptian pictures in their houses & ornaments & theyve had accidents , illnesses & even worse stuff
You are speaking the truth. I had a book that had symbols of evil. I placed it inside a large bucket outside to burn it. The book wouldn't burn. I kept trying to burn it. The bucket began to shake by it self. I was so scared! I ripped pages out of the book. I commanded that book to burn in Jesus name. The book began burning. Please believe this young lady. She's trying to help you. My comment is true. Nothing is worth keeping something that will open the door for evil to come like an invitation to evil spirits!
I see a lot of people making the excuse that THEY don’t find the same meaning in items that are associated with idolatry or witchcraft. I can tell you right now, in REALITY no one cares what you’re intent is. If you wear a certain symbol that has a specific meaning in the wrong neighborhood there are deadly consequences regardless of your intent. I doubt it’s less strict in the spiritual world.
You lost me at the statues of Mary. We don’t look at those statues as idols, or nor we worship them. We don’t pray to them either as Catholics.
As a Catholic myself, I want to clarify that saints aren't specifically prayed to nor is Mary as if in the place of Christ or His father. Saints are more like... Mascots for lack of a better word. They're people who most likely had a specific challenge when they were alive that they fought temptation or loneliness or any of a series of things and then persevered or died because they were told to deny Jesus and they refused and thus we're martyred. They're a way of saying that this person was a teenager who wanted to battle for God, she dressed like a boy to sneak in the battle and she fought for the Church and they burned her at the stake.. (st Joan of arc) my favorite one was an Italian in the middle ages named peregrine who was down right dismissive and mocking to the church in his wild youth. Then he was afflicted with a cancerous lesion on his lower leg and he had a vision of Christ who came down off the crucifix and became life size and touched the wound healing it. He changed his ways and repeated and the first time I noticed anything about him the name caught my attention because my uncle's roommate worked in building downtown where a nest with a newly hatched flock of peregrine falcons had been found and nobody knew how to keep from disturbing them long enough to mature. So I prayed about the birds to God and thy did make it. But when my mom had a breast cancer, I used the image of Jesus healing St Peregrine thus converting him to witness for Christ til his final day I felt like that was something I could focus on while praying about my mom. If you can turn an angry mocking man into a soldier of Christ just think of what you might do for my mom's tumor? And Christ healed her. She died of cancer eventually but over 30 years later at 79 years old. I'm not sure about any angel statues though. Sometimes people top the Christmas tree with them but I guess my family was more of a gold tinsel star family.
I as well am catholic and I find it a little offensive, I think she should remember that we don’t pray or worship them. We just honor them for loving their church and show us how to live a more Christian life.
I appreciate your comment and thumb's up, but Ruocca is ultimately correct on this one, imo.
Agreed, as a Catholic as well. It's all visual reminders and far from the biblical notion of idols to whom one ascribes false attributes like life and power. They are statues that aid in prayer, and in focusing on God.
Read the 3rd commandment (btw in the catholic bible it is removed)
@@Amorriii the bible has been corrupted many many times and mistranslated.including king james which removed 13 books
I have had to get rid of so many items that my husband and I had accumulated over the years thinking that they were harmless. I feel so much better after knowing my home is filled with only the Holy Spirit. I got rid of movies, games, ornaments, movie paraphernalia, jewelry, clothing and some gifts.
NO!!!! OTHER SPIRIT!! BUT THE SPIRIT OF THE TRUE LIVING GOD SHALL RULE & REIN OVER YOU & YOUR FAMILY IN THE NAME OF JESUS
In actuality, it is also a sin to just have too much stuff in general! God expects us to be more frugal with our money. I know I have way more stuff than I need and will ever use. Things just accumulate because we are so busy in our lives.
An object in itself is not evil or harmful. Look instead to the heart and mind of the onlooker, and his or her intentions for the object’s use.
What about his Bugatti watch? Did you throw that away too?
When I was a kid my grandmother brought home a bunch of donated items from her work, these items would later be distributed to needy families. Theŕe were also toys and one of them was a stuffed devil, tall as I was. Now because it was tall I was drawn to it. I used to wrestle my pillows and stuffed toys so perhaps I saw this as a good opponent. I ran up hugged it and took it in my room. I got sick a few hours later. I took the Satan out of my room, it got donated or thrown away and I immediately felt better.
honestly, very interesting to witness from converted buddhist's standpoint. i was brought up christian, but realised that i wasn't practicing out of true belief, but bc i knew i'm good at memorising things and would get a pat on my shoulder for being such "a good and honest believer".
We Catholics have little statues of our Blessed Mother Mary as well as the Angels and all because it serves as a reminder of what happened back then..the way you keep pictures to remember some events is the same way we use them for their remembrance. It is in our churches, it makes you feel closer to them, we DO NOT worship idols, they are sacramentals and serve much more deeper meanings
Thx
Thank you for this video ! I have been in the new age during about 20 years. When I came to Christ, i threw away mountains of that spiritual stuff. The more powerful effect i experimented was when a CD containing both indian music with tibetan trumps was destroyed in front of me : something get out of my belly very powerfully.
God bless you !
Interesting...
Thank you for this video- very well done! May God bless and keep you!
Guys for Yoga as an active person, instead of yoga do stretches before doing any kind of exercise. Yoga and stretching are different and have value. Don't hurt yourself and always be recovered.
The Virgin Mary statue gives me a lot of comfort.
Her point exactly...
@@alvinasandra6233yes her point is that she’s brainwashed assuming people worship statues who have the Virgin Mary when they instead remind us that she prays for us. Let’s not forget Catholics are the reason y’all eat saltines and grape juice in gyms mkay, let alone the Bible is a catholic book who’s had multiple books removed by that heretic Martin Luther.
@@judyheller8814 Yes I agree with you very much a lot of ppl think we Catholics worship them but it's not true our mother deserves much more in special places in are houses
I used to be a Catholic and without reading the word of god for myself I thought keeping religious statues was ok but after studying the word I saw that I was wrong. God should comfort you not a statue. The word says the Holy Spirit is our comforter not s statue. That statue is not the Virgin Mary. Yes she deserves to be honored but s statue that doesn’t even look like her she lived way before that statue was created , that’s not even her its not honour it’s idol worship. Above all remember you are made in the image of the father, the son and Holy Spirit your comfort should come from their.
@@jayewalkerenterprise5853 There is comfort in the fact that Mary prays for us like a mother or father would pray for their child. I suppose keeping photos of our relatives because they keep us comfort is idol worship as well? Just because your beliefs were shakey when you were “Catholic” doesn’t mean that other Catholics are. Also the Bible is a Catholic book, maybe you should ask yourself why Martin Luther took out 7 books from the Bible instead of trying to convince Catholics about their “lack” of faith in God.
the phone you cant put down is an idol
imagine the time attention and energy getting finding and using a phone...
In my opinion cell phones are more evil than any Ouija board could ever hope to be😳
@@caveman3021 well it depends on how you use them. It's like you say a knife is bad...
Very true, but it can, in turn, be used to pray and glorify God in the right manner.
I phones are demon portals. So enjoy your demon portal while you trash Catholics
As a Catholic, I feel like Christian’s sorta take us out of context. We do not worship Mary we only worship the lord. Statues of saints and praying the rosary isn’t an idol. Its only an idol if it’s taking the place of God. The rosary and statues of saints brings us closer to the lord because they represent memories of the sacred mysteries of God. Saint prayers are also meant to intercede for us meaning to pray for us to the lord our God. Hope that helps!
Exactly. A lot of Evangelists just assume that anything somebody does that isn't in their faith is wrong.
As an x RC I point you to the 10 Commandments. The RC has removed at the second commandment says you should not worship which says you should not worship false gods medals all the Saints statues are idols Mary was the mother of Jesus know where in the Bible does it tell you to pray to Mary tells you to pray to Jesus Christ self so please get a bible that's not with the KATHY Bible and be set free in lots of love and your Rosery why are you praying 10 hail Mary's in one hour father does not make sense lots of love and blessings good night
You do not need anyone to intercede when you have Jesus absolutely no one including Mary
This is actually a fear tactic the protestant church made to have more ppl convert to their protestant churches. Spreading fear & ignorance is why alot of catholics leave the church, afraid they have offended God. In reality catholicism is older & been around longer than protestant churches. In fact, the Bible was made by the catholics 😂
No, I've seen plenty of Catholics praying to and worshipping Mary. I'm an ex Catholic, and I can tell you I did the same thing until God opened my eyes.
There’s nothing wrong with yoga mat just because its yoga. If I go camping yoga mat is what will keep me dry in my tent. It’s all in your attitude. If you don’t feel comfortable with it just get rid of it yourself but I can’t find in the Bible about throwing away yoga mat or items for exercising this body God gave us!
Your life shows who you are by your actions and example to the world, not by items you possess or don’t, you may get rid of half your house but if in your heart you hide sin, or you gossip and criticize and hold in forgiveness it will do you no good!
Hi I really enjoyed your truthful insight. A few years ago my husband and I traveled to the Bahamas. I started collecting masks. As I became a believer in Christ I threw them all away . The Holy Spirit told me to. I also threw away gifts from a family member who professes to be a witch. I realized that she may have cursed the said items. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless.
Hello how’re you doing?
you need to very careful going too- buying anything from central/ south America
Great work! I only want to clarify something:
Mary is not an idol. Us Catholics do NOT worship her. We pray for her intercession. It is no different than asking a friend to pray for you, the only difference is that this friend happens to be the Mother of God.
Recall the wedding at Cana- Jesus was not planning on beginning His public ministry that night but His Mother asked Him to help the couple because she had compassion for them and He did what she asked. He did that because SHE asked Him too. Can you imagine a more powerful friend than Mary? She goes to Jesus, her son, and presents Him with our prayers that are in accord with His will. She should not be included in your list of idols. Love of Mary is not worship of Mary.
God Bless
Hello Bryan. Mary is blessed.
But an object is not Mary. There is a difference between the object and our brothers and sisters (saints) that are in the presence of God.
In the weddings of Cana Jesus told her it was not yet His time.
But later His time came. He went behind the veil in the most Holy place in order to intercede for us. Thats why Jesus told us to ask in His name. This is explained in the book of Hebrews.
God bless you.
There's nothing wrong with statutes of Saint Mary. Big part of Catholic tradition.
i through my Bible and crosses away in the trash , ever since I’ve been happier , I go to my local temple and practice meditation and mantra prayers , been at peace , when I used to be Christian, was just anxious all the time
I'm so sorry that you found yourself turning away from the faith; people like this woman don't represent Christianity as a whole. What this woman is describing is a cult of fear and superstition. Christ is love incarnate; forming a true relationship brings peace and slowly destroys this kind of fear. It saddens me that people are turning away because of this kind of paltry, twisted distortion of something that is so beautiful. But if you found a path to God even outside the church then I'm glad 😊🙏
@@thomasbrown3793 How find the path?
@@rozumnaistota9489 You know the story of the loaves of bread and fish? Jesus miraculously multiplied a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish...and with it fed thousands. Or turned the water into wine. Or washed the feet of his disciples. In his ministry, Jesus did miraculous things. But they were simple things. Simple things in service of others. And he did it out of love. And he died on the cross out of love. The moment I finally made that connection it was beautiful. We need to try to emulate his example; we need to service others out of love and a sense of charitably. But more importantly, we need to form a loving relationship with our creator. And that starts with even just the smallest effort to communicate. Talk to him about your fears. About your triumphs. Or whatever. Just talk to him. God wants each and every one of us...and will except us as we are. Nothing is unforgivable. No honest effort is too small.

I didn't think I'd have anything on this list. But I was suprised. my friend who follows witchcraft and zodiacs, and other things gifted me a zodiac book about my "sign" and I just threw it on my bookshelf knowing that I'd never open it and I didn't want to offend her either, im throwing it away now, aswell as a time turner harry potter prop i was gifted. I cut harry potter out of my life. My husband kep telling me to, they were my favorite books and i thought it didnt matter since it was just fantasy. But it really does matter. I had the audiobooks and listened to them non stop. But how can i hear what christ needs to tell me if thats all i listen to. I know that we are supposed to distance ourself from people who believe in these things, and that sounds difficult. But I've told myself that even Jesus was called the friend of sinners. we are both 27 and have been friends since we were 12. At the time she wasn't into those things. I just keep trying to do good for her by example and I'll talk about how much happier and better my life if now that I have accepted christ into my life. She's open to that idea but still holds onto all the other religions and "spiritual, rituals" I want to add a few things music, I've cut out so much music from my life. And Incense and smudging.
I watched it yesterday and started thinking about unsaved Family I live with, who keep that kind of things. I was feeling sad about it didn’t know what to do. I remember that my mother in law has the evil eye hanging on the handle of her kitchen window. That was very sad night, after watching your video. I was getting ready to tell her. I went to the kitchen looking at the window and the evil eye not only WAS GONE, but there was that kind of handles that you can’t hang anything on it. Two years ago all windows were replaced and I didn’t notice that old handles are gone too. That was very encouraging❤️ I came to thinking that my GOD is in control, and He is cleaning the house from this things Himself❤️

Quick question about not having statues of angels or saints: If it's sinful, why does God command the Israelites to build the ark of the covenant with two cherubims (aka, angels) made of gold on the ends of the mercy seat. Exodus 25: 17-20: "You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width. And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat. And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat." If having statues of angels was a sin, God is either commanding the Israelites to sin, meaning He is collaborating in sin, or having statues of angels wasn't a sin before, but is now, to which I would say, show me the verse in the Bible. As a side note, praying to saints in the Catholic tradition is asking for their intercession, asking them to pray for us, just like we would ask other people to pray for us, not worshipping them. We have statues and icons of saints because it reminds us of how God's holiness worked in them, reminds us to aspire to be obedient to God as they were, and gives us a window into Heaven.
Please indulge me on what you just ingested to make you talk like this. You don’t make sense
I challenge you to do this.
Read early church history and what they believed and what they taught.
For those that read church history eventually stops being protestant .
Correct, that's why most protestants are confused with their understanding of the bible, ritual and symbolism
This last month I was convicted about a butter knife (of all the things) because it belonged to a dead relative who was into the occult. Amazingly when I decided to get rid of it, I was miraculously gifted a butter knife that had no association . Now that had to be God.
That is really amazing
Yes Def
I would rather it were only butter
Knives, even butter knives, are used in candle rituals very often, so it might not just be that it belonged to an occultist. It's a good thing you listen to the inner promptings of the Holy Ghost. 💙
But what if your relative impersonated God and gifted you a truly haunted one? Just asking?
Damn, the atrocity to even think that we Catholics have a Statue of Mary as an idol is just unbelievable. We do not put her above God, we have her as a reminder, the same way you and I have pictures of our loved ones.
I know it can be painful to put down something you thought was "right" maybe your entire life... Yet, the choice is ours, I hope and pray you will * Listen and Obeh what God order in His law "Thou shalt not make any graven Image ...thou shalt not worship ...

You can't pray to Mary only to God, only to Christ! The son, the father and the holy spirit - there's no mother!
@@onlyfoes and what do you know about God, did you read the whole bible including the books that Martin Luther removed because he disagreed with them. Oh btw Martin Luther continued praying to Mary as he believed it to be important even after the reformation.

When people have been worshipping Mary, Mary was scared and worried for God and Christ
Thank you for this information. I definitely needed to hear this. Will definitely share this.
A Mary statue is not an idol. She is to be respected and honored. She is the mother of all believers Rev 12:17. Just like you may have a picture of your physical mother, you can also have a picture or statue of your spiritual mother. ❤️ she is NOT a deity.

Hail Mary, full of grace ❤
I've just stumbled across another video of yours (on my television where I have no way of commenting).
I am so glad I found you.
I have been questioning this similar thing myself having over the past few years gotten into new age / tarot / watching RUclips tarot readers.
Left so confused and noticed my life falling apart since.
I feel I've made so many mistakes now and had no idea besides thought I was only hurting myself.
I pray for you and for your friend Deborah and your husband.
I'm unsure if my boyfriend who has just left me was good for me or not. I feel so in love with him and only him! I'm so depressed, scared, confused, lonely and I am now trying to pray.
I have no knowledge of any religion only mum raised me to believe always that there was a god and a devil as she was raised also I believe Christian or Catholic I'm unsure our communication is not the greatest either and my first language is her third language so communication can be quite difficult even frustrating at times.
I've been feeling so sad and angry and absent minded.
Please pray to God for me?
Thankyou. Also alcohol, the guy that left me recently with no discussion drank gravely even I began to with him and he strangely brought into my home a statue of a Hindu something.. I felt really bad vibes from it straight away but talked myself into it must be harmless but thought how strange he's not even religious! Few things strange has been happening also now I live on what they call 'sacred land' I heard (somebody died on this property, they demolished the house and built units, I have a strange feeling around my bathroom and it's always colder in there)
I'm so confused.
Thankyou so much for your videos really ❤❤❤❤
I would encourage you to find an apostolic oneness church near you. They have many Bible studies that cover these and other revelations in Gods Word as to how to walk and live in Gods peace.
Repent for your sins, acknowledge and believe that Jesus was the one who died on the cross for you so that you could be forgiven and have eternal life, and ask God to enter into your heart. He will help you through your sorrows, struggles, and grief, and will provide for you a much better life than what you are now currently living. Walk according to His word, and you will see results. God bless you my friend, and I shall be praying for you. 🌼🦋
💖 John 3:16 💖
I like that you mention alcohol. I know people that deny that they have trouble with it. It has consumed them and taken them down a wrong path. Ruined their life. I pray for everyone in my life needing deliverance from any substance abuse.
So true!!!

I was getting dressed one day for a special meeting so I picked out a shirt that is adorable that I have worn several times. It has a hippie feel to it and it is sooooo cute. As I was getting it out, suddenly a section of the intricate pattern of the shirt just absolutely jumped out at me and its like I saw it for the first time. It was the eqyptian eye of horus! I was absolutely mortified and in total disbelief that I have had this shirt in my possession for so long and somehow never saw this evil occult symbol right there cleverly worked into the busy design of the garment. Be careful that you know what you are wearing! Why? Because the message that we send out with our clothing is important-I hope nobody ever noticed that horrible eye and just never said anything but secretly wondered if I was actually a Christian. The bible says we are to be careful not to cause other people to stumble. Also what kind of evil was I passively alowing in my life by having that symbol in my closet? The makers of such items are counting on our ignorance to help them spread their agenda and to unknowingly invite evil in. Really LOOK at your clothes especially, make sure there's nothing hidden in plain sight! BTW, I went straight to the garbage and threw that shirt away!
Hi how are you doing?
I've been doing what I would call a spiritual cleanse or declutter and can relate. I went through all kinds of things, but it surprised me when I felt the need to get rid of some of my favorite shirts that I had worn for years. It's a process, but it's good.
Thank you for sharing this 👍
I got rid of a DVD that we were going to add to our Christmas party raffle prizes. I know I did the right thing! No one needs to be subjected to that evil on my way from the garage I tripped and hit my head on the corner of my bumper, honestly it felt like someone put their foot out to cause me to fall. I ended up in the ER, the doctor claims that I was lucky, no broken bones only a contusion, “not lucky, just Blessed doc! Never fell on that cement, ever…The Lord and my 👼🏽 kept my feet from falling ❣️
You know the Christian mythology is ripped of from the Egyptian mythology right? Horus was also born of a virgin mother, Auset.
His father was the creator Ra, and he's also the Sun as well as son of a god. Same time of year, also a
male sky god like Jesus of Nazareth, except not a schizophrenic communist who wanted to cause problems to the roman empire. Did you know Jesus was one of hundreds of crucified Jews who claimed to be the son of the god of thr Torah? Each time one popped up he was crucified. Jesus gained a huge following, incited vandalism and civil disobediance and refused to honor the Roman gods so they made an example of him.
I needed this! Thank you for sharing
I was just talking about this to my friend the other day my pocket obviously has quite connected to God today. Thank God for you and your message and my pocket for bringing it to me
My grandfather and great grandfathere were in a secret society. I ended up with their paraphernalia. When I became a Christian God put a woman in my life that taught me about the occult and why I needed to rid myself of thoes items. We were already having marriage problem connected to demons.
Satan fought me hard trying to get me to not burn these items. But once they were we were free of demons for quite some time. They were definitely a door.
So i remember that I was leaving Christianity into new age and i had to constantly remind myself of everything (mediation hand gestures, chakras and the meanings behind it, crystals and their meanings, etc). It was like I was in school not retaining anything as soon as I looked away, I would forget it. I bought a crystal and I kept up with that thing like it was my phone. I would take it with me in the bathroom and sleep with it and drive with it in the door or on the dashboard. I prayed instead of meditated one night before going to sleep and I “lost” that crystal the next day. (I’m a Christian again and I know that God was blocking me from being “too deep” into it)
We thabk God for his saving power in the person of Jesus Christ.

Stay away from estate sales, especially if you don't know the person who passed . Spirits can attach to objects; so be careful buying items at these sales. Also be careful of music that you listen to, because there is music specifically used to invoke spirits. There are also symbols that are used to call spirits. People must learn to STOP trying to assimilate into a culture that they know little or nothing about. Those keepsake momentos may have a whole different meaning that you are not aware of. ALWAYS DO YOUR. RESEARCH.... FIRST !!!!!
Good god, your life must be super fucking boring. I cannot fathom being so paranoid.
Yes be careful but by all means explore new cultures.
Nobody should dive into real estate head first without knowing the consequence’s. Especially when the bank comes after you.
Excellent teaching! I also came out of New Age and had so many occult items!!! I had a yoga business I threw everything away thousands of dollars worth! I want to Glorify the LORD!!! 😇
HALLELUJAH
You will be blessed
I Am So Happy For You!
Praise the Lord!!!!!!! I enjoyed yoga as a Christian I even felt “spiritual presence “. It was not the Lords Spirit that I felt, long story short I was having difficulty praying to the Lord and continuing yoga and I finally got it! Stop yoga! I watched a video where a witch doctor was asked if yoga was connected to Hinduism and he said, “to separate yoga from Hindu is like trying to separate Christ from the cross.
@@callmeallie1432 Praise God!!! So many Christians think it’s ok to do. They get angry at me when I tell them. I pray for them to wake up! It sad to see at Christian schools it’s crazy they do t get it!! Praying!!! 🙏🙏🙏

I never even got the chance ask him this. A year ago I was doing the dishes in my kitchen and suddenly he said "go through your house and remove every sugar skull." I said "..OK...? Why?" "They are used to decorate altars all over the world that are not to me." I never knew that. I don't live near Mexico or a Latin American area and I had no idea. I looked it up later after I had obeyed and found it was absolutely true!

So true with thrifting, guys be careful when buying and wearing anything 2nd hand. I once bought a skirt and the Holy Spirit warned me and told me not to wear it. Not just clothes but antiques etc. I know it’s more affordable but let God guide you in what to buy.
It is hard when you are poor not to get used things, I do not buy used clothes. I pray over kitchen stuff.
Interesting that you should post this. Our local thrift store has dollar day Thursdays, and even tho things are just a dollar, it just doesn't feel right to buy some of the items, even tho there's clearly nothing wrong with them, it just doesn't feel right. :edited for clarity:
@@molliewarner2173 I understand you babe! Listen to that feeling, it’s God talking to you. You don’t know who wore those items and what atmosphere they were in when they wore them. Its best to stay spiritually vigilant
Wow I was thinking about going to a 2nd hand store soon and just ran across this video and this comment. I believe God lead me to see this. Thank you for sharing ❤️
The Goodwill was my favorite store until I heard a Pastor say to buy everything new (including furniture) because you don’t know who wore the clothes. She told a story of a lady who went to a an Estate/yard sale and bought all the clothes of the deceased women. Come to find out the deceased woman died from cancer and the lady who bought and wore them also got cancer!! After that I never returned to the Goodwill! I got rid of so many clothes (cute ones too!) it hurt to see all that money go down the drain but I knew God convicted me and told me to get rid of them! I was convicted because I believe the Lord was saying to me, “Don’t you trust me to provide for you?” “Don’t you know you are my daughter and I want you to have the best?” So true! Once I stopped shopping second hand, God has provided me with brand new items at deep discounts and cheaper than the Goodwill! The scratching on the other side of the closet stopped! Thank you very much for sharing this video.
Thank you so much 🙏 am so glad i stumbled into your channel.. Blessings upon you and your family. Love from South Africa ❤️
As a Catholic, we don’t idolize Mary when we pray the rosary. We are asking Mary to help us get closer to her son Jesus.
Mary is enjoying heaven Jesus said God is the road that leads to destruction narrow is the road that leads to eternal life and few are finding it it is through his blood alone that he shed for your sins and mine and Mary's. Mary called Jesus her savior if you read the Bible
And you can't confess your sins to another sinner in a closet it's through Jesus Christ Alone you get to the Father
Great video; I can’t wait to share with my loved ones! My mom and I were both “new age”. She was a staunch “Course of Miracles” believer. A book I quickly threw away after she passed. Thankfully, we both came to the saving knowledge of Jesus. I am so grateful He didn’t give up on us! My mom thought she was so right; satan is such a deceiver!! Thank you for sharing this life saving information! God bless you
I had to throw away some sage and a couple crystal stones that my daughter put in my house for protection. I don’t want to hurt her feelings but I know that the items are not of God and I had to throw them away. I’ve known for months that they shouldn’t be here and my mother told me again recently how she feels about it and then this video. This video helped me to throw them away. Thank you
I've had a dream catcher over my bed. My husband's daughter made it and I thought he'd appreciate it. But you're right. It's an idol. Gotta go.
Sage in itself isn’t bad per say, as the earliest Christian’s, the modern orthodox Christian’s like myself use incense. As long as the sage isn’t being used spiritually, and is only used as you like the scent it’s fine. I also recommend using bees wax candles vs regular ones. Not only are they more environmentally frequently, and ethical, they also burn much cleaner and even have physical cleansing properties when burned.
You may hurt her feelings throwing out those rocks and crystals but you may very well have lead her to christ
Hi my grandma who is Christian bought me a bracelet with the eye, because she thought it was colorful, but she didn’t know the meanings behind thé object. What should I do, because I can’t just trow it away and I have a yoga mat , but I just use it to do workouts or dances, not really meditation, is it still bad?
is it okay if i have a yoga mat just for exercise? i don’t actually do yoga, but i do things like pilates and other exercise on a YOGA mat. but i don’t associate anything with yoga. is that okay?
Some valid points there but seriously these are jokes. Just because you do yoga or read a fiction book does not mean you worship them. Some may see it to that state but mostly it’s peoples preference. As a Christian, you should know what’s really right and what’s not. I do agree with your art idea, it’s valid to check behind the artists intent behind the art work.
It’s the same reasoning behind the yoga and books as is the art….??
No, the Bible is a book of facts
Because archaeology has proven several biblical events, even SUPERNATURAL stories from the bible
When I watched this video I had a statue of the virgin mary in my room and at the end of the video it's still there
Love this ❤.
Thank you.
Same ❤️
You are very strong! Keep up your faith🙏🙏
@WhisperSuki God gave us free will. If you choose to sin (and brag about it) that's on you. But you can't say "I wasn't warned!" later on.
I own a pair of converse that i got at a thrift store. Should I get rid of my converse even though i didnt buy them from converse?
I also have some thrifted converses. I think in that sense, the answer would still be the same, as it still came from them originally. I would more look at it from the angle of whether they came from them before or after they started focusing themselves in this way. Not the best analogy, but Judas was also a disciple and did good things in the lord's name before he betrayed Jesus.
This video is amazing. Very true, thank you for sharing this. I have similar story to yours and realized all this for myself. Totally agree. !!! Thank you Heavenly Father for your mercy on us. Amen !
Number 1 object to get rid of, negative, demonic people. Emotional vampire's, and narcissist friends and family.
Really difficult to get rid of people...usually gets you in big trouble with the law!
Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you! Christs words. He came to save the sinner.
As a devout Catholic, I’m actually going to have to disagree with the statement that people “worship” the saints; it’s a very common misconception. We simply honor their devotion to God and ask them to pray for us, we must never worship them, we only venerate them. As a matter of fact, in Exodus, God asks for two statues of cherubim to be placed on top of the Ark of the Covenant, which shield it with their wings. Obviously, the only person we should be worshipping is God, but at the end of the day, we all have our own particular beliefs.
Thank you, she needs to actually study religion before telling people that a whole group of Christian's are idolatrous.
Listen to yourself. "We ask them to pray for..." that's worship. You have no business asking ANYONE to pray for anything other than JESUS CHRIST. Changing the word "worship" to "honor" makes no difference. You're still worshiping. There is no "misconception" here. You're simply trying to justify doing something evil. Stop it.
@@94champs sooo, what about the "prayer request" at church? We literally ask others to pray for us every Sunday.
Also, honor and worship are two different words. The Bible never said to worship your father and mother, but to "honor" them.
@@niquek9619 You can pray for the living. You can't pray to or for the dead. I shouldn't have to explain this to you. Have you even read The Bible?
@@94champs You said we have no business asking "ANYONE", I just brought up that point. There is nothing wrong with learning about other Christian churches before posting a video saying one is going against god. You do understand that you are arguing with Christians while their are people that believe that aliens are their creator, that Jesus wasn't the savior, or that they themselves are gods? The young lady that made the video was even raised by a witch that spit at churches. You're splitting hairs with Christians, if you want to explain the Bible go find a nonbeliever.
This is bat shit crazy. Im a Christian and having or not having these items doesnt ruin my relation with God, nor brings in the devil. Many of these are rooted in other religions. Devil Worship or Satan Worship they are not.
Here are some scriptures to think about. I hope it sheds new light.
(1) What is a idol ? Exodus 32:1 tell us, something worship as GOD. Catholic do not worship anyone but GOD.
Does GOD hates or disapprove of statues ?.
Numbers 21:6-9 GOD command Moses to make a bronze serpent.
Exodus 25:10-22 The Ark of the covenant.
Does GOD disapprove praying to the saints ?
Revelation 5:8 the elders are presenting the prayer's of the saints to GOD.
Yes to getting rid of all of this stuff, totally destroying it if possible, except the statue of the Mother of God, but that’s a Catholic/Orthodox vs. Protestant issue. Thankful for the clear teaching of our exorcist priests like Fr. Chad Ripperger.
Exodus 20: 4-5
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
@@eriklarson4082 The Ark of the Covenant had literally two angel statues on It.
"Except for..." no exceptions ma'am. You're worshiping an idol. A false God. Mary is no more special than you or I. She was just another sinful person. ONLY JESUS CHRIST offers salvation. No one else. No exceptions.
I worked in a salon that did reiki years ago. Most people working there were into new age occult stuff. I am highly in tune with my surroundings and I went through a horrible evil attack, and that was before I became a devout Christian.
Years later I worked in salon with Hindu and Buddhist completely decorated with there graven images. I again went through an attack.
It only made my faith that much stronger.
The more valuable you are as a tool for God the more you need to be aware of your surroundings. If God has you to spread His Word the more the Devil is out to get you!
Grow your relationship with your Creator, study Gods Words, grow Strong in the Lord.
Put on the armor of God and prepare for battle.
I have noticed that many people into the arts enjoy pagan symbols and decor. Creepy. And let’s talk about Halloween decor. Just say no.
Yes i agree. I had pain in my kneck & shoulders for months so decided to go to a massage place. There were lots of hairdresser/beaity salons now that seem to throw in reiki & holistic treatments. Ive never felt comfortable in the places , as im very sensitive to the surroundings

Thanks for the warning.
That’s the devils main target!
I believe the armor of God has me protected.⚔️🛡🙏🏻🎚
I think you mean well in what you are expressing; I agree with many things you have shared. However, just to clarify misconceptions about religious representations of Mary, saints, etc... I express my beliefs from a Catholic perspective. Catholics don’t worship our images or the saints they portray. We simply honor the saints and use images as physical reminders of spiritual realities, so we are not breaking any divine prohibitions when we incorporate them into our prayer. Just as you may have a picture of someone you love in your home, so too do we... Just as you may ask a pastor, family member, or friend to pray for you, so we too ask the saints to intercede for us. We ask them for their prayers even though we're praying, too, because we believe in the power of prayer. We know that God hears their prayers as well as ours, and we want as many voices as possible asking Him to help us in our time of need. May the Holy Spirit guide us all into truth and reveal God’s thoughts and word to us.
Those Catholics are annoying
I noticed that she didn't say anything about icons, but I'm guessing she would apply the same sentiment to icons as she does to statues. Friends, you should know that St. Luke, who wrote the books of Luke and Acts, also painted icons of Jesus' mother, for veneration. If you do not venerate Mary, you do not have the faith of St. Luke, which is the faith of the Apostles, that is the true Christian faith. Protestant friends, you might have a nice turkey sandwich there, and that's fine, but you're missing out on the turkey dinner. Find an Orthodox Church in your area, and share in our services. Come and see!
Many non Orthodox don't understand the theology of Iconography. That it's purpose is to testify the Incarnation of the Logos, To remind us of holiness and the communion of the Saints. It's beautiful and spiritually rich, but unless they have the Orthodox phronema they won't see it 🖤
No thank you, I prefer a rotisserie chicken with macaroni salad.
I don’t need St luke’s turkey
I love how there are also catholics here proving the truth that we do not worship Mary nor idolize her. We just respect and venerate her as the mother of God.
Yeah but if she comes around, make sure we hide our Catholic icons because she will destroy them. 😂
@@BEWallard 😂
Is it ok if I venerate my dead grandpa?
Where is Mary referred to as the Mother of God in the Bible?
@@CS-yn2wg Bro if you believe that the Jesus is God, you cant deny that Mary was MOther of God
@@Pablo-vx9tt She was the mother of the incarnation of God. Not the Mother of God. To say she is the mother of God implies that God had a beginning which is false.
This is wild. I cannot believe you destroyed his artwork without speaking to him first and asking him to consider to get rid of it himself. That is crossing boundaries and not okay to do to others belongings. It should've been his choice to eventually come to after conversation about it, not yours. Also, people need medication, whether herbal or pharmaceutical, people need that for their mental and physical health problems. Meditation has been good for improving my focus, anxiety and grounding me when I'm dissociating, when I finally tried it and realized how helpful it is, I was irritated that so many Christians told me it was bad and I just believed them for so many years.
Indeed.
It is bad, you should only meditate on the Lord and scripture! Don’t empty your mind for demons to have access to you, that is foolish. God is the only peace. Find a healthy outlet to help you. Not Bethel “church” music either, that’s not real Christian music, hymns are real biblical music. Please do research and learn to discern better!😢
@@cabbagecrosby1993 Meditation has helped me with trauma, anger, anxiety, grief and obsessive thoughts, it's helped me with my pain. Of course I turned to God and scripture. Many things can have demons enter, alcohol, reading, watching TV, and what do you do if it happens? Reject it in Jesus's name. I have nothing to fear from meditating.
@Queenie Burgers
Yeah im with you here
@@queenieburgers50 Sorry you can't just look over the roots of meditation. They're not Godly. Eastern meditation doesn't belong in the heart of life of any Christian. Everyone has trauma. There are other ways to deal with said traumas.
Great video, thank you! One correction though: having statues/art of angels, saints, Mary, is similar to having pictures of deceased loved ones displayed. We don’t worship them, but we ask them to pray for us, and there is nothing wrong with that. Don’t you ask your friends to pray for you? It also helps to lift our minds to heavenly things! Sacred art is very good!
No matter what anyone else says, I definitely believe in what your saying! It’s written very clearly in the Bible. It’s not just about something being an idol… it’s also about the history of the object and what it represents. We can try all we want to make things positive but if it’s not of God it’s just not of God plain and simple. I don’t even argue with people about it anymore lol I say you pray about it and you do what God puts in YOUR heart and I will do what he puts in MY heart… and we respectfully agree to disagree. Side note I also agree I’d many of us actually knew the history/meanings of a lot of the things we are are “ok”… we would be scared out our minds once we found out the truth. ❤ keeping doing what. GOD (the one and only) puts in YOUR heart!! Bless you.
The crazy thing is this..........people celebrate holidays due to tradition. If Christians looked into the origins of Christmas and Easter, they would be absolutely horrified also. Following Christ is a LOT more extensive than just throwing away some stuff.
