Don’t judge this man, understand this man. Bro is literally the vessel that the Holy Spirit is co-operating with to save people’s souls and he’s being questioned in bad faith. Nobody is perfect and the Lord wants us to see that through Riaan. I pray that God protects and continues to shine on Riaan. May all people who have strayed, return home, in the light and glory of Jesus Christ.❤🕊️✝️
Yesterday, I came across Riaan Swiegelaar and the Wide Awake podcast for the first time. I listened to all three episodes with him, and it’s crazy that today the very next podcast uploaded on this channel is also with Riaan! Happy to hear more of him and Adri Norton! What an amazing story!!
Imagine a con artist telling people there are 12000 Satanists in his church he started then Jesus saves him... imagine it was all made up, the pagan community called him out on his pretend church because it was his creation now he's cashing in on the fame
Religion has been taken over by satan and has many impurities but the LOVE of Christ is REAL and to Follow Jesus is the ultimate feeling of wholesomeness.
I would LOVE to have a conversation with Riaan and Adri about the more spiritual experiences they had and how they are doing now, spiritually.? Because I know they are growing immensely. Riaan, when I heard about your meeting with Jesus in 2022, I was totally wrecked!! Thank You for thesr beautiful people Jesus. Turning beauty from ashes. You ALONE are Worthy of all Praise. YESHUA HA'MASIACH Love you Riaan and Adri. May God bless you MORE!!
Adri, I have tears of joy! Jesus's hand was all over your life. He redeemed you, for He is your Salvation. May you always seek the heart of God and his eternal truths in His Word. Father I pray that Adri and her family will walk in Your path and live and abide in your Holiness.
Yessss Riaan tell them 👏🏽 the difference about Christ followers and religion it’s not the same 😭 Some people mess up the whole image of Christ by throwing stones when Jesus said literally show love show forgiveness show mercy 😮💨😮💨
Fellowship for Christians is very important. I was saved from New Age madness by Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit immediately got to work on renewing my mind and convicting me of my habitual sins, like smoking weed. I soon realized how it grieved the Holy Spirit , and it stopped making me feel good, but rather, i felt quite ill. All glory to the one true living God Jesus Christ, King of king's Lighthouse in the storm, Prince of Peace Lamb of God ❤ Thank you Jesus 🙏Amen, Amen.
Weed made me turn away from God and have my own believes. Thanks to God that now I quit smoking weed and holy spirit is filling me immensely. Glory to Jesus ♥️
LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. I agree with Riaan, people miss this. If that was the case in Christianity the world would look so different. but people believe by works and by judging other's sins they're okay. Well, you're making satan happy because he knows God will judge you as harshly as you judge others. It is one thing to have knowledge of the word of God and an entirely different thing to have understanding of the truth. When you understand the Love of Christ, you won't fall so easily under the deception of judging others and showing no mercy to EVERYONE just because they are different from you. You are basically saying God made a mistake by creating that person.. and He does not make mistakes. Such a blessing to have watched all the podcasts with Riaan. My kind of Christian and someone whom I'm excited to feast with one day when Jesus comes to fetch us. I related to Adri, as I myself fell into some dark things and I was very naive and younger back then, I also had a miscarriage and I was locked up and so much more, and even if I tell the whole story no one would believe it, it's easier to judge... through all of it God never left my side, even though I did not know Him or Jesus, he guided me, saved me, and redeemed me from the darkest 3 years of my life. I am not the same. He came for me an undeserving broken young girl, who slandered His name and mocked him. I was good enough for His kingdom because He said so. Not people. after nine years of being saved and baptized , I've met all kinds of Christians. But have never looked back. Because my encounter with Jesus changed everything. Forever. Adri I'm so happy it will truly be a celebration in heaven when you get baptized. Keep doing the good work, I'm praying for you both. Let's finish the race!
I'm retired at 27, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife, $35k biweekly and a good daughter full of ❤️
< I know that woman (Rose M Elaine ) If you were born and raised in Miami ,FL🇺🇸 you'd know too, No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!
Thank you so much for this! I was raised Pentecostal…even went on mission trips and went to Bible college. I left over their arrogance, ignorance, and cruelty to homosexuals and because it felt like a cult-like closed system. I am still a Christian, though. God is Goodness. God is the thing that allows humans to transform into something better and good. What these two courageous, intelligent people with deep integrity say rings very true to me, and I will use some of what they say to educate and empower my children. We will know if they are truly following a good path with the test of time, but I expect good things from these two as they progress on their journey. Their testimony speaks to all people who feel that they cannot escape entrapment in evil in its various forms. With Christ, we can.
Absolutely insightful and wonderful to see this refreshing testimony, We need to wake up the spiritual realm is cracking and breaking through to our physical world. We need to wake up and equip ourselves with the right mentality and armour.
I’m sorry that you had to go through the hatred from so called Christians because real true Christians wouldn’t be that way. I’m so glad he talked on the difference between religion and Christians! God Bless everyone 🙏🫶🏼
I want to thank these two beautiful people for sharing what they learned. I recently came into the belief in christ and god. And I've been struggling with how to interpret a lot of the stuff I've been experiencing. And I think this will help me greatly. May christ bless your lives. Thank you!
Hats off to both for not only getting out of occult, but stepping out to represent the Father. Riaan will receive conviction of the truth about sexual immorality. His view is not biblical. Its what the lgbtq church proclaims. But God is not done. Bless you both.
He had my attention until he spoke about homosexuality. Regardless of context, God’s word is clear on this subject. Glad he met Jesus and I pray he will get delivered from that lifestyle.
This message is what I believe and always have ...... Love and compassion is the only message that needs to be shared. Religion of any kind has a power and greed structure. Jesus is a rebel, he rebelled against hypocrisy, and lost his temper in a temple. Yet no one wants to talk about those points and stay stuck of fear and sin and ending up in hell. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love wins always
I absolutey love this story from Riaan and am so excited about his meeting with Christ face to face. I really believe that he had a true encounter with Jesus. By looking at the way he left the Satanic church, losing everything material he had. Even just by looking at how much more joyful and peaceful he seems, compared to that first interview he had on this channel. I'm so inspired and excited for this man. I truly do believe that God is using him in a powerful way. However I do disagree with him, as a brother in Christ, on his position on gay marriage as it relates to the bible. I believe his comments about 1 Corinthians 6:9, on the Greek word ἀρσενοκοῖται could be either be either fair or misleading. The truth is, I just don't know enough about that particular greek word or history of the translation to disagree on that. However, I do believe the bible is quite clear about Gods stance on sexual activity outside of marriage, and that it clearly defines biblical marriage as being between one man and one woman. Genesis 2:24: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Matthew 19:4-6: Jesus replied, "Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Ephesians 5:31: "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." I totally agree with him about how so many Christians can be so hateful and so un-Christ like when it comes to religious disagreements. The last thing I would want to do his hurt him, or anyone else, with this comment. That is why I want to reiterate, I truly do love this man as my brother in Christ and wish only to respectfully disagree with his stance on this.
The Lord is ready to judge the earth. They better change. Time is up for the wicked. We praying for salvation and for their eyes to be opened in Jesus Name
1 Corinthians 6:9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 "28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." The christian bible teaches you guys that a girl must marry the guy that rapes her and she cant divorce him ever. Wow, such good morals the bible teaches you guys.
Yep and here comes the small minded judgy Christianity that makes people run for the hills and oh does it make you feel better being right cuz nobody cares That's the whole point of this conversation but you're going to try and interject your wisdom we don't care how much of the Bible you know or how smart you are or how much you think you know about Christianity. Here's a question what if when all is said and done you find out you were wrong you die and you face your maker down and you find out that you missed the mark by miles@@Hennie1373
@@Hennie1373 go ahead and continue to point out how right you are...... Your sin of judgment is just as heavy as what you think is sinful of others. But you don't want to talk about that do you? A sin is a sin is a sin PERIOD - clean up your own dirt and stay out of others
She said she believed the miscarriage happened because of the energy directed to her. This resulted in her realising through God that what they are doing is wrong. God didn't cause the miscarriage.
@@jaymesadams8089 Exodus was during Old Covenant, my friend. The Almighty was obligated to keep His end of the bargain of a Law which the Israelite never should have agreed to. There was an easier way: confess that they were sorry for their mistakes and tell Him directly (not through Moses) that they desired union with Him again. Brush up on the New Covenant, which began after the cross. God has dealt with sin once and for all through Jesus' Finished Work.
Riaan and Adri should really get in touch with Amanda Buys from Kanaan Ministries she helps people who have been a part of SRA and part of MK Ultra mind programming etc. There is still a big healing journey that lies ahead for both of them and they can really experience true freedom from all they have been involved in. Biggest blessings and prayers to them.
Consecration is a process brother. Extend grace and prayer instead pointing the negatives for all to see. Let's go to the secret place with matters like this.
Lev 20:13 If a man lies [intimately] with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed a detestable (perverse, unnatural) act; they shall most certainly be put to death; their blood is on them. We cannot choose what types of sin is ok, sin is sin. I am also a sinner and need daily repentance, but i never accept my sin. Sorry Riaan, the Word of God teaches differently and i pray for your deliverance.
I don’t think he is listening to the Holy Spirit when it come to his sexuality like many of us we his can’t let it go and it is that sin that will take him back. Read the book of romans God puts it as a curse . Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.” -Romans 1:26-27
His not perfect, his on his own journey and walk with Christ. Leave him be. When the time is right God Himself will see to it that he changes, if the All Father deems it good. Respectfully, its comments like this that makes these people reject Christianity. Everyone has weakness... even you🙏 hence the Good Book says that we are ALL sinners, no one is perfect
@@aming6117in your not so humble opinion. I love when the Bible is used to attempt to shame and point out others sins. Because that will bring others to the Lord NOT
Josh, I've challenged this man's testimony several times on your channel since his first interview. Having followed their church from the beginning, I can confidently assert, as a Christian Reformed Apologist, that his claims are not Biblical. It would be beneficial for you, as the host, to include someone like an Apologist in discussions about religious matters. Christianity is grounded in the authority of Scripture, not subjective opinions or personal experiences. Riaan is twisting Scripture and is a dangerous figure-essentially a deceiver masquerading as an angel of light, still entangled in his former satanic beliefs. A key issue with Riaan's narrative is his identification as a gay Christian. Despite spending over three hours a day in Scripture, he fails to adequately defend his position. Just look at 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." While he correctly points out that the term "homosexual" wasn't in the original texts, the Bible still condemns same-sex sexual behavior through the Hebrew (Leviticus 18:22) and Greek terms ("arsenokoitai" in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and "malakoi"). These refer to homosexual acts, irrespective of modern concepts of sexual orientation. Scripture clearly affirms that sexual relationships are designed by God for marriage between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24, Romans 1:26-27). Regarding Riaan's conversion, its a false conversion influenced by New Age teachings. His focus on personal experience over Biblical truth exemplifies this ideology. Claims of hearing God’s voice or seeing Jesus in person, along with his involvement in the trending "deliverance ministry," suggest a lack of true conversion. Now, concerning the notion that no sin is greater than others: there are indeed varying degrees of sin. Living in willful disobedience as a so-called homosexual Christian - ignoring Scripture - is serious. The Bible teaches that repentance is crucial for anyone following Christ. While Christians may struggle with sin, they are called to turn away and seek forgiveness. Persistent, unrepentant sin indicates a heart not truly submitted to Christ, and Scripture warns that such individuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. True repentance involves a continuous turning away from sin and a growing desire for obedience to God. Lastly, regarding Romans 8:38-39, which asserts that nothing can separate us from God's love: this is not a license to sin. While it beautifully affirms God’s love and security for believers, it does not justify ongoing unrepentant sin, including homosexual behavior. Genuine faith in Christ leads to repentance and the pursuit of holiness. While external forces cannot separate believers from God’s love, ongoing, willful sin reveals a lack of true repentance and transformation, which is incompatible with living in Christ. Thus, God's inseparable love is extended to those who, by grace, strive to obey His commands and that is only those who are truly regenerate. Let me make one final point about love, as many false converts tend to portray God as a laid-back figure who’s all about love. While love is indeed an essential attribute of God, His righteousness and holiness are equally vital. The Bible does not say that God is love, love, love; rather, it declares that God is holy, holy, holy. Above all else, He is a just God. It wasn’t love that caused God to turn His face away from His Son on the cross; it was His holiness. So, who do we think we are? In conclusion, Riaan and Adri have sought a version of Christianity that lacks the foundations of Biblical truth. Baptism does not equate to salvation nor does it provide salvation; it is merely a sacrament. There is little acknowledgment of being “a wretched sinner in need of Jesus Christ” or the necessity of repentance. Instead, the focus is on “how does this gospel align with my life?” and “if it offends me in any way, I want nothing to do with it.” This is not bullying; it is the essence of the Gospel, which can be offensive because it convicts us deeply and confronts our sinful nature. Riaan and Adri exemplify those warned about in 2 Timothy 3:5 - they have the "appearance of godliness but deny its power." We should avoid such individuals.
This is true. I agree. I do think Riaan is still learning, I don't want to believe he is trying to be deceptive to listeners. I believe a further revelation of truth is yet to come for them. But yeah Josh, I'd get a trusted Christian apologist on with Riaan to address these topics if you can. Regardless, I am happy to see the conversion for these two thus far. Just fundamental gaps in their understanding of truth.
I agree. I could feel the new age influence.. unfortunately. But good for them for changing their ways. I hope they will find God as we all try to do in our imperfect journey.
While we rejoice when one soul turns to God, their testimony should not become our guiding principles. Holy scripture, the Bible, should always be the foundation of truth and doctrines. There is a danger when a convert from darkness begins to teach or people start to take their words for answers. Josh, the host of the channel, needs to keep doctrinal/scriptural off of the discussion (must be a topic for a different forum with bible experts/scholars), or else will be liable for misguiding seekrs/believers. We all are learning and growing.
There's a beautiful term called Evangelical Narcissism- which talks about the way people who "have a miraculous turn" - make it about them, and also - make it about how awful life was before then. This term describes perfectly what the former founders of the South African chapter of the church of Satan. To most of us - it was exciting because - much like the church of Satan of America - the goal was to show up and challenge religious privilege. Alas, this was not the case -
I left Jesus for spirituality and getting high to perceive on my own consciousness ,I was woke, but now going back to Jesus. I am awake. It was all a trick and selfish. I prefer to stay away from witch craft, any reliegous or cult act. The most I do is pray.
I also agree with Riaan there is a difference between religion and having a personal relationship with Christ. But I also think if we call ourselves brother and sisters in Christ, we should show each other the word if we see someone is not walking according to the Word. When it comes to an unbeliever that’s a different situation.
With all the experience and secrets you know. Pls help the authorities with the kids that's going missing coz somehow I feel they are being used in the rituals.
Hey, I just checked and subtitles are enabled but I think they just haven’t finished processing for this episode yet! Maybe come back a bit later and check, they should be finished processing by then! 🙏🏼
@@wideawakepodcast just done watching this, it was very eye opening. i could also relate to a few things , thank you for your effort and time.

okay lets get back to the crystal topic how can crystals be bad??? some of them like black tourmaline can generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress, Energy storage: Quartz can store and transmit energy in piezoelectric applications, which is quite "mad" when you think about how pressure on a small crystal can power complex devices. Acoustic resonance: Quartz is also used in resonators in electronics, like radio transmitters, which "amplify" signals. It's part of a larger phenomenon in which tiny quartz crystals can control or amplify frequencies, making it an essential material in telecommunications and high-frequency devices.
@@promie261 Exactly, we sacrifice animals for survival, we have to eat to survive, Satanists sacrifice them for fun to drink their blood and to offer it to satan then discard countless bodies into the rubbish bins, thats the difference.
It's very interesting, we used to walk the modderfontein area, and break the strongholds etc, embers still smouldering which the Satanists ran from as they were warned to. The blood is powerful, and Jesus reigns.
What I find incrediblely sad is that a man who followed Satan before Jesus has a far better understanding of God than most people who call themselves Christian and who were raised with God in their households.
I believe he did get to know the real Jesus. The way he speaks I see that - he is still finding reasons to cling to his marriage, but He is very new to his walk with Christ, and he will still realise when the Lord speaks to him and he's ready to listen.
@@biancavelissariou I would love it, if it was true. In his first interview he claims he was trying to conjure a demon, and Jesus showed up instead. And Jesus is not a genie, he is not conjured, and nowhere in the bible does it say Jesus will appear to anyone, let alone show just 'Love'. When Jesus showed himself to John, John dropped to his knees in fear and reverence. More likely the dude conjured the demon he wanted, and we all know satan is teh father of lies, and this guy is a fraud who is lying. The bible, as it says in teh bible, is Gods final revelation to us. Not Jesus appearing in person. The only time teh bible says Jesus appears in person is when he comes back to judge. This dude is a liar, and dangerous.
@@RitaGrant-ed9pb Once you listen to his 'conversion' story, it is so obvious that he is lying - he basically claims he conjured Jesus as if Jesus is a genie, furthermore, Jesus was so nice that he felt love... the real Jesus would have you flat on your face bowed down if fear and reverence - that and a pinch of discernment just listening to him. Those who believe he is saved are very deceived.
Satanists actually DONT BELIEVE IN SATAN: Research debunks a lot of common myths about Satanism. But perhaps the most important one to understand is that modern Satanists don’t actually worship the devil. If that’s so, what do Satanists believe? Exactly right. There are many different kinds of Satanists, but most don’t actually believe in Satan and don’t worship him as either a god or as a force of evil. For the most part, Satanists are non-theists and view Satanism as a personal liberation from traditional theistic beliefs. We value nonconformity and revolt against the ideas of superstition and arbitrary authority. Modern Satanists are nonviolent and interested in the pursuit of reason, justice, and truth. Why use Satan, then - certainly a controversial idea or figure? Essentially, Satan is a metaphor. We believe in the historical idea of Lucifer as a light-bringer, a principled rebel angel willing to stand up against arbitrary rules or authority. In Western countries in particular, Christianity is so dominant. Many people who identify as Satanists were raised in religious, restrictive households and made to feel oppressed because they were different in some way. So by using Satan as a symbol, we’re taking that narrative back and making it our own. The Pacifist's Guide to Satanism Oct. 18, 2022
@@BreeL1998 they are not de facto Satanists, but Luciferians. In addition, most so-called "theistic Satanists" are polytheists, who are more closely akin to Pagans.
People need to stay away from all this. Don’t let curiosity lead you into hell. “Abstain from all appearance of evil” Don’t believe his lies - the devil is a liar and a thief John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Romans 1:27.Romans 1:27 [27]Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. I hear practicing homosexuals use that argument all the time.please practice discernment.I gotta say everything Riaan was saying was resonating with me until that part on homosexuality.and I can't in good conscience ignore romans 1:32 . All sin is transgression of God's law and it separates us from God hence the need for Jesus who saves us from sin. we cannot hold on to our former lifestyles when we encounter christ. We become new creations. we are to die to our selves daily .we are to crucify our flesh with all its desires and passions which is possible since we can do all things in christ.All sin leads to hell and hence the need for repentance and believing in christ .It is by the same grace that gives salvation , we are taught to deny ungodliness Titus 2:11 [11]For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, [12]teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
You have stated the absolutely truth! Only the remnant have spuritual discernment in this end time. Deception us at an all time high in this wicked and ungodly world..we are surrounded by apostates and deceivers. The scripture warns us to not be deceived, but to test every spirit.
This is hard to watch. It's ridiculous knowing what I know and then listening to this nonsense. I hope you now get the attention you crave, Riaan. Just do not mislead people about where you come from. The 80's were traumatising enough for some of us. Don't bring that back
I have a hard time with such folks. How can you hurt an animal or human. May God help me understand and sympathize. But currently I cannot. I hope they are truly saved.
As a believer in Christ, I can agree with Riaan we all struggle with sin, but the bible is clear when it comes to sin. For us to be in denial and reject what God’s word is saying about sin is another issue. When you get filled with the Spirit, there is many sins he will convict you of and to repent. So how can we say the Holy Spirit leads and guides us into all truth when we living opposite to what the bible is saying. I think there is a fine line of making our own interpretation and reading the bible out of context to suite our own lifestyles. God’s Word is final.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10. "9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God."
The Holy Spirit convicts a non-believer of SIN, singular, that is to say the need for Jesus the Savior. The Holy Spirit convicts a Believer of their righteousness, who they are in Christ, and why they do not need to practice works of the flesh. The Holy Spirit does not convict a Believer of sin/sins. Renew your mind, Riaan!!
Notice how defensive, faster pace of speaking, agitated and less sure of himself he got in the end from a certain question? I was agreeing 100% on everything until that homo question, especially when he started with i don't identify with that which was such a good start. But then he says he is married to a man so he is actively in a willing sinful lifestyle, and defending it which is the problem. I also sin and struggle with my own vices but i admit it's wrong, the holy spirit is convicting me of it as does the bible and an honest mind. You can be forgiven of sin an then do your best to sin no more as Jesus told the people he healed. If you don't admit what your doing is wrong, and might even encourage others to reject what God says is right and wrong, and decide for yourself, which is kind of the original sin where we ate of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil and started to decide ourself what we want to do and become our own gods. Then you can't ask for forgiveness of it and help to overcome, which is a problem. However they are still fairly new christians and God does things in his time, i pray also about this and anyone else trying to justify any sin in Jesus name.
I think most of us had questions about God and the Bible and looking for acceptable answers. I for one definitely. Didn't once enter my mind to become a Satanist. Being a Child of God ( whoever He is ) is all about love and empathy for others. Being there for those in need without expecting anything in return. Just a feeling of warmth in giving. I find all of this nonsense.
Ek het eendag n gesprek gehad met hom...N paar keer...Die laaste keer het ek vir hom gesê hy gaan nog groot werk doen vir God...Hy het kwaad geword vir my en gesê dit sal nooit gebeur nie en my geblock op facebook en messenger.....En daar is dit nou....Hy doen groot werk vir God vandag
Prayed for you, brother Riaan. May the Lord continue to reveal the truth in His Love to you. The Lord is at work in you, you will eventually get there. I am hoping you would return soon on this channel to talk of your continued transformation and God's truth. One step at a time. God is gracious, merciful, and gives you all the time you need.
well jesus was caught with a naked boy in the garden of getsemane once and in his tomb the boy was also found alone with him. like what roman catholic priests also do. jesus and god are also inside each other....
I sense a bit of embellishment in these guys' story tbh. I'm not the judge of others intentions, but the whole "born again" thing seems opportunistic to me. The guy was on here last time saying that Satanism is all about self-love and they don't do any of the hocus pocus stuff. He was saying how Satanism gets a bad rap from stupid religious people and there's nothing sinister about it. Now he's here saying the opposite, so basically he's admitting he lied the first time. Why should we think he's not lying now? I could also be totally wrong of course.
You have a good point. However, one could just as easily see this as good evidence that a person is not lying because they are willing to admit they were wrong. Everyone has lied, this does not mean they are not telling the truth now.
@@hasancasperlabuschagne7579 True, if they are faking, I would hope to know at some point. I tend to lean into believing the story because I similarly had some intense supernatural experiences that lead me back to faith and their story lines up with what I have experienced.
If you watch the previous podcasts he talks about the non disclosure agreements he had to sign when leaving the church of Satan and all the death threats he was getting there were a lot of things he had to lie about or wasn't willing to talk about
After this experience he has promoted strange New Age-like teachings that "was revealed to him" so he maybe met a spirit but not the real Christ. Spirits can be deceptive and show up as "love and light". Many can testify that they are evil when they show their right side, check out "From New Age to Jesus"-testimonies.
Even if that was the case, he did get to know the real Jesus. The way he speaks I see that - he is still finding reasons to cling to his marriage, but He is very new to his walk with Christ, and he will still realise when the Lord speaks to him and he's ready to listen.

Adri, I have tears of joy! Jesus's hand was all over your life. He redeemed you, for He is your Salvation. May you always seek the heart of God and his eternal truths in His Word. Father I pray that Adri and her family will walk in Your path and live and abide in your Holiness.
The Vineyard church will conduct Adri's baptism with absolute joy. What a blessing to participate in her transformation - Ephesians 4:22-24
Finally!!!!! I have been looking forward to this interview

And still resulted in boredom
Yessss Riaan tell them 👏🏽 the difference about Christ followers and religion it’s not the same 😭 Some people mess up the whole image of Christ by throwing stones when Jesus said literally show love show forgiveness show mercy 😮💨😮💨
Fellowship for Christians is very important.
I was saved from New Age madness by Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit immediately got to work on renewing my mind and convicting me of my habitual sins, like smoking weed. I soon realized how it grieved the Holy Spirit , and it stopped making me feel good, but rather, i felt quite ill.
All glory to the one true living God Jesus Christ, King of king's Lighthouse in the storm, Prince of Peace Lamb of God ❤
Thank you Jesus 🙏Amen, Amen.
take a polygraph test so we can see if you are lying
Weed made me turn away from God and have my own believes. Thanks to God that now I quit smoking weed and holy spirit is filling me immensely. Glory to Jesus ♥️
Watching both your journey confirms the presence of our Lord every day. Love this.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. I agree with Riaan, people miss this. If that was the case in Christianity the world would look so different. but people believe by works and by judging other's sins they're okay. Well, you're making satan happy because he knows God will judge you as harshly as you judge others. It is one thing to have knowledge of the word of God and an entirely different thing to have understanding of the truth. When you understand the Love of Christ, you won't fall so easily under the deception of judging others and showing no mercy to EVERYONE just because they are different from you. You are basically saying God made a mistake by creating that person.. and He does not make mistakes. Such a blessing to have watched all the podcasts with Riaan. My kind of Christian and someone whom I'm excited to feast with one day when Jesus comes to fetch us. I related to Adri, as I myself fell into some dark things and I was very naive and younger back then, I also had a miscarriage and I was locked up and so much more, and even if I tell the whole story no one would believe it, it's easier to judge... through all of it God never left my side, even though I did not know Him or Jesus, he guided me, saved me, and redeemed me from the darkest 3 years of my life. I am not the same. He came for me an undeserving broken young girl, who slandered His name and mocked him. I was good enough for His kingdom because He said so. Not people.
after nine years of being saved and baptized , I've met all kinds of Christians. But have never looked back. Because my encounter with Jesus changed everything. Forever. Adri I'm so happy it will truly be a celebration in heaven when you get baptized.
Keep doing the good work, I'm praying for you both. Let's finish the race!
The Lord knows them that are His!!
God bless, sister 🇿🇦
The realization of the difference between “religion”and having a personal relationship with Christ!❤
I'm highly inspired.
Please spill some sugar about the bi-weekly stuff you mentioned.
I'm retired at 27, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife, $35k biweekly and a good daughter full of ❤️
I started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH!
Wow 😱I know her too
Miss Rose M Elaine is a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.
< I know that woman (Rose M Elaine )
If you were born and raised in Miami ,FL🇺🇸 you'd know too, No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states also paid for my son's surgery (Isaac ). Glory to GOD.
I am so grateful for 2 more powerful soldiers in the army of the Lord!
Thank you Riaan and Adri for sharing.
Riaan's story inspires me 💓
We welcome you, family! And are stoked you have experienced God’s love, personally❤❤❤. Enjoy your journeys in Christ Jesus.👣👣👣👣👣
Thank you so much for this! I was raised Pentecostal…even went on mission trips and went to Bible college. I left over their arrogance, ignorance, and cruelty to homosexuals and because it felt like a cult-like closed system. I am still a Christian, though. God is Goodness. God is the thing that allows humans to transform into something better and good. What these two courageous, intelligent people with deep integrity say rings very true to me, and I will use some of what they say to educate and empower my children. We will know if they are truly following a good path with the test of time, but I expect good things from these two as they progress on their journey. Their testimony speaks to all people who feel that they cannot escape entrapment in evil in its various forms. With Christ, we can.
Absolutely insightful and wonderful to see this refreshing testimony, We need to wake up the spiritual realm is cracking and breaking through to our physical world. We need to wake up and equip ourselves with the right mentality and armour.
I’m sorry that you had to go through the hatred from so called Christians because real true Christians wouldn’t be that way. I’m so glad he talked on the difference between religion and Christians!
God Bless everyone 🙏🫶🏼
I want to thank these two beautiful people for sharing what they learned. I recently came into the belief in christ and god. And I've been struggling with how to interpret a lot of the stuff I've been experiencing. And I think this will help me greatly. May christ bless your lives. Thank you!
Hats off to both for not only getting out of occult, but stepping out to represent the Father.
Riaan will receive conviction of the truth about sexual immorality. His view is not biblical. Its what the lgbtq church proclaims.
But God is not done. Bless you both.
At the set time. The All Father will come through and complete his salvation
Amen
Amen. Consecration is a process. Over time Holy Spirit does the work in all of us 🙏
Hello Riaan, welcome to my world ❤ Congratulations on your acceptance of Yeshua. Now you have the eyes of Yah
Lovely to see the change ❤ Yeshua hamashiach is King 🎉👑 May he protect you from the haters & curses.
He had my attention until he spoke about homosexuality. Regardless of context, God’s word is clear on this subject. Glad he met Jesus and I pray he will get delivered from that lifestyle.
AWESOME testimonies of GOD'S GRACE...so difficult to escape religion...thank you Jesus
This message is what I believe and always have ...... Love and compassion is the only message that needs to be shared. Religion of any kind has a power and greed structure. Jesus is a rebel, he rebelled against hypocrisy, and lost his temper in a temple. Yet no one wants to talk about those points and stay stuck of fear and sin and ending up in hell. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love wins always
I absolutey love this story from Riaan and am so excited about his meeting with Christ face to face. I really believe that he had a true encounter with Jesus. By looking at the way he left the Satanic church, losing everything material he had. Even just by looking at how much more joyful and peaceful he seems, compared to that first interview he had on this channel. I'm so inspired and excited for this man. I truly do believe that God is using him in a powerful way. However I do disagree with him, as a brother in Christ, on his position on gay marriage as it relates to the bible. I believe his comments about 1 Corinthians 6:9, on the Greek word ἀρσενοκοῖται could be either be either fair or misleading. The truth is, I just don't know enough about that particular greek word or history of the translation to disagree on that. However, I do believe the bible is quite clear about Gods stance on sexual activity outside of marriage, and that it clearly defines biblical marriage as being between one man and one woman. Genesis 2:24: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Matthew 19:4-6: Jesus replied, "Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Ephesians 5:31: "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
I totally agree with him about how so many Christians can be so hateful and so un-Christ like when it comes to religious disagreements. The last thing I would want to do his hurt him, or anyone else, with this comment. That is why I want to reiterate, I truly do love this man as my brother in Christ and wish only to respectfully disagree with his stance on this.
Jesus Christ is king of kings ❤️
The Lord is ready to judge the earth. They better change. Time is up for the wicked. We praying for salvation and for their eyes to be opened in Jesus Name
WOW this is so fascinating

God is always with us thanks to u guys we praise the Lord
Riaan, im glad to see you back. God bless you.
You know i appreciate this convo because there is really something wrong with church
1 Corinthians 6:9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 "28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." The christian bible teaches you guys that a girl must marry the guy that rapes her and she cant divorce him ever. Wow, such good morals the bible teaches you guys.
And here is the fear mongering that makes people despise religion boooooo repent for your own sin
@AlexandraDavis-n7b The fear of God is the beggining of wisdom. Proverbs 9:10-12
Yep and here comes the small minded judgy Christianity that makes people run for the hills and oh does it make you feel better being right cuz nobody cares That's the whole point of this conversation but you're going to try and interject your wisdom we don't care how much of the Bible you know or how smart you are or how much you think you know about Christianity. Here's a question what if when all is said and done you find out you were wrong you die and you face your maker down and you find out that you missed the mark by miles@@Hennie1373
@@Hennie1373 go ahead and continue to point out how right you are...... Your sin of judgment is just as heavy as what you think is sinful of others. But you don't want to talk about that do you? A sin is a sin is a sin PERIOD - clean up your own dirt and stay out of others
God does not "show" someone is wrong by making them miscarry. She desperately needs to renew her mind.
In David’s story he had a miscarriage with his wife so that story is interesting 🤔
She said she believed the miscarriage happened because of the energy directed to her. This resulted in her realising through God that what they are doing is wrong. God didn't cause the miscarriage.
you sure about that? Brush up on exodus 12:12
@@jaymesadams8089 Exodus was during Old Covenant, my friend. The Almighty was obligated to keep His end of the bargain of a Law which the Israelite never should have agreed to. There was an easier way: confess that they were sorry for their mistakes and tell Him directly (not through Moses) that they desired union with Him again. Brush up on the New Covenant, which began after the cross. God has dealt with sin once and for all through Jesus' Finished Work.
@@letyisabelalvarez8890 Old Covenant, my friend.
Riaan and Adri should really get in touch with Amanda Buys from Kanaan Ministries she helps people who have been a part of SRA and part of MK Ultra mind programming etc. There is still a big healing journey that lies ahead for both of them and they can really experience true freedom from all they have been involved in. Biggest blessings and prayers to them.
This man teaches more New Age stuff, he needs deliverance big time.
Consecration is a process brother. Extend grace and prayer instead pointing the negatives for all to see. Let's go to the secret place with matters like this.
What an amazing testimony of her going up the mountain
Riaan admitted homosexuality is sin.
Awesomeness !!! Thank You
God is doing amazing work these days on RUclips
Lev 20:13
If a man lies [intimately] with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed a detestable (perverse, unnatural) act; they shall most certainly be put to death; their blood is on them.
We cannot choose what types of sin is ok, sin is sin. I am also a sinner and need daily repentance, but i never accept my sin. Sorry Riaan, the Word of God teaches differently and i pray for your deliverance.
I don’t think he is listening to the Holy Spirit when it come to his sexuality like many of us we his can’t let it go and it is that sin that will take him back. Read the book of romans God puts it as a curse .
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.” -Romans 1:26-27
His not perfect, his on his own journey and walk with Christ. Leave him be. When the time is right God Himself will see to it that he changes, if the All Father deems it good.
Respectfully, its comments like this that makes these people reject Christianity. Everyone has weakness... even you🙏 hence the Good Book says that we are ALL sinners, no one is perfect
@@haroldnhlanhlajacobs4303news flash, the gospel is not supposed to make us feel good but offense them so we can turn from our sin… respectfully
He also gave a very strange New Age-like message after his experience that "was revealed to him". I dont think he met the true Jesus.
Agreed
The Holy spirit convicted me of smoking weed when I was saved, prior to that I had quit cigarettes.
Thank you Jesus ❤
@@aming6117in your not so humble opinion. I love when the Bible is used to attempt to shame and point out others sins. Because that will bring others to the Lord NOT
Josh, I've challenged this man's testimony several times on your channel since his first interview. Having followed their church from the beginning, I can confidently assert, as a Christian Reformed Apologist, that his claims are not Biblical. It would be beneficial for you, as the host, to include someone like an Apologist in discussions about religious matters. Christianity is grounded in the authority of Scripture, not subjective opinions or personal experiences. Riaan is twisting Scripture and is a dangerous figure-essentially a deceiver masquerading as an angel of light, still entangled in his former satanic beliefs.
A key issue with Riaan's narrative is his identification as a gay Christian. Despite spending over three hours a day in Scripture, he fails to adequately defend his position. Just look at 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
While he correctly points out that the term "homosexual" wasn't in the original texts, the Bible still condemns same-sex sexual behavior through the Hebrew (Leviticus 18:22) and Greek terms ("arsenokoitai" in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and "malakoi"). These refer to homosexual acts, irrespective of modern concepts of sexual orientation. Scripture clearly affirms that sexual relationships are designed by God for marriage between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24, Romans 1:26-27).
Regarding Riaan's conversion, its a false conversion influenced by New Age teachings. His focus on personal experience over Biblical truth exemplifies this ideology. Claims of hearing God’s voice or seeing Jesus in person, along with his involvement in the trending "deliverance ministry," suggest a lack of true conversion.
Now, concerning the notion that no sin is greater than others: there are indeed varying degrees of sin. Living in willful disobedience as a so-called homosexual Christian - ignoring Scripture - is serious. The Bible teaches that repentance is crucial for anyone following Christ. While Christians may struggle with sin, they are called to turn away and seek forgiveness. Persistent, unrepentant sin indicates a heart not truly submitted to Christ, and Scripture warns that such individuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. True repentance involves a continuous turning away from sin and a growing desire for obedience to God.
Lastly, regarding Romans 8:38-39, which asserts that nothing can separate us from God's love: this is not a license to sin. While it beautifully affirms God’s love and security for believers, it does not justify ongoing unrepentant sin, including homosexual behavior. Genuine faith in Christ leads to repentance and the pursuit of holiness. While external forces cannot separate believers from God’s love, ongoing, willful sin reveals a lack of true repentance and transformation, which is incompatible with living in Christ. Thus, God's inseparable love is extended to those who, by grace, strive to obey His commands and that is only those who are truly regenerate.
Let me make one final point about love, as many false converts tend to portray God as a laid-back figure who’s all about love. While love is indeed an essential attribute of God, His righteousness and holiness are equally vital. The Bible does not say that God is love, love, love; rather, it declares that God is holy, holy, holy. Above all else, He is a just God. It wasn’t love that caused God to turn His face away from His Son on the cross; it was His holiness. So, who do we think we are?
In conclusion, Riaan and Adri have sought a version of Christianity that lacks the foundations of Biblical truth. Baptism does not equate to salvation nor does it provide salvation; it is merely a sacrament. There is little acknowledgment of being “a wretched sinner in need of Jesus Christ” or the necessity of repentance. Instead, the focus is on “how does this gospel align with my life?” and “if it offends me in any way, I want nothing to do with it.” This is not bullying; it is the essence of the Gospel, which can be offensive because it convicts us deeply and confronts our sinful nature. Riaan and Adri exemplify those warned about in 2 Timothy 3:5 - they have the "appearance of godliness but deny its power." We should avoid such individuals.
This is true. I agree. I do think Riaan is still learning, I don't want to believe he is trying to be deceptive to listeners. I believe a further revelation of truth is yet to come for them.
But yeah Josh, I'd get a trusted Christian apologist on with Riaan to address these topics if you can.
Regardless, I am happy to see the conversion for these two thus far. Just fundamental gaps in their understanding of truth.
I agree. I could feel the new age influence.. unfortunately. But good for them for changing their ways. I hope they will find God as we all try to do in our imperfect journey.
@@annamodzelewska5891 that is certainly our prayer too. He is mighty to save.
While we rejoice when one soul turns to God, their testimony should not become our guiding principles. Holy scripture, the Bible, should always be the foundation of truth and doctrines. There is a danger when a convert from darkness begins to teach or people start to take their words for answers. Josh, the host of the channel, needs to keep doctrinal/scriptural off of the discussion (must be a topic for a different forum with bible experts/scholars), or else will be liable for misguiding seekrs/believers. We all are learning and growing.
@@drritakm agreed
Adri and Riaan God Bless you, love Wilna
There's a beautiful term called Evangelical Narcissism- which talks about the way people who "have a miraculous turn" - make it about them, and also - make it about how awful life was before then.
This term describes perfectly what the former founders of the South African chapter of the church of Satan.
To most of us - it was exciting because - much like the church of Satan of America - the goal was to show up and challenge religious privilege. Alas, this was not the case -
Praying for his deliverance from the homosexuality
I left Jesus for spirituality and getting high to perceive on my own consciousness ,I was woke, but now going back to Jesus. I am awake. It was all a trick and selfish. I prefer to stay away from witch craft, any reliegous or cult act. The most I do is pray.
Dude looks so much healthier since finding Christ
It is well with his soul
I agree
To God be the Glory
Excellent. Keep pushing into His love
Adri please go do those programs in church let go of ur guard trust in Christ allow ur self to be lead submit so u can lead
I also agree with Riaan there is a difference between religion and having a personal relationship with Christ. But I also think if we call ourselves brother and sisters in Christ, we should show each other the word if we see someone is not walking according to the Word.
When it comes to an unbeliever that’s a different situation.
God saw your heart and with saving Riaan's soul He saved yours aswell..
Trust none of these people. The energy of God speaks to everyone, not just Christians. You have direct access.

okay lets get back to the crystal topic how can crystals be bad??? some of them like black tourmaline can generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress, Energy storage: Quartz can store and transmit energy in piezoelectric applications, which is quite "mad" when you think about how pressure on a small crystal can power complex devices.
Acoustic resonance: Quartz is also used in resonators in electronics, like radio transmitters, which "amplify" signals. It's part of a larger phenomenon in which tiny quartz crystals can control or amplify frequencies, making it an essential material in telecommunications and high-frequency devices.
Nice podcast love it, miss your ears :) much love.
I'm so sorry to all the animals that have been sacrificed AGAINST THEIR WILL :( Humans are HORRIBLE !
as opposed to all the animal offerings made in the bible? Let them take polygraph tests and you will see that lied about that
Including the ones we eat.
@@promie261 Exactly, we sacrifice animals for survival, we have to eat to survive, Satanists sacrifice them for fun to drink their blood and to offer it to satan then discard countless bodies into the rubbish bins, thats the difference.
Praise the Lord
It's very interesting, we used to walk the modderfontein area, and break the strongholds etc, embers still smouldering which the Satanists ran from as they were warned to.
The blood is powerful, and Jesus reigns.
What I find incrediblely sad is that a man who followed Satan before Jesus has a far better understanding of God than most people who call themselves Christian and who were raised with God in their households.
Cannot believe you think this guy is a Christian. He most definitely is not.
I believe he did get to know the real Jesus. The way he speaks I see that - he is still finding reasons to cling to his marriage, but He is very new to his walk with Christ, and he will still realise when the Lord speaks to him and he's ready to listen.
@@biancavelissariou I would love it, if it was true. In his first interview he claims he was trying to conjure a demon, and Jesus showed up instead. And Jesus is not a genie, he is not conjured, and nowhere in the bible does it say Jesus will appear to anyone, let alone show just 'Love'. When Jesus showed himself to John, John dropped to his knees in fear and reverence. More likely the dude conjured the demon he wanted, and we all know satan is teh father of lies, and this guy is a fraud who is lying. The bible, as it says in teh bible, is Gods final revelation to us. Not Jesus appearing in person. The only time teh bible says Jesus appears in person is when he comes back to judge. This dude is a liar, and dangerous.
Ummm and why not?
Agree 100% with you. And neither is she.
Great deception hoing on here, and none of the apostates are able to discern it.
@@RitaGrant-ed9pb Once you listen to his 'conversion' story, it is so obvious that he is lying - he basically claims he conjured Jesus as if Jesus is a genie, furthermore, Jesus was so nice that he felt love... the real Jesus would have you flat on your face bowed down if fear and reverence - that and a pinch of discernment just listening to him. Those who believe he is saved are very deceived.
Wrong homosexuality is a sin and you should not walk in it

Satanists actually DONT BELIEVE IN SATAN:
Research debunks a lot of common myths about Satanism. But perhaps the most important one to understand is that modern Satanists don’t actually worship the devil. If that’s so, what do Satanists believe?
Exactly right. There are many different kinds of Satanists, but most don’t actually believe in Satan and don’t worship him as either a god or as a force of evil. For the most part, Satanists are non-theists and view Satanism as a personal liberation from traditional theistic beliefs. We value nonconformity and revolt against the ideas of superstition and arbitrary authority. Modern Satanists are nonviolent and interested in the pursuit of reason, justice, and truth.
Why use Satan, then - certainly a controversial idea or figure?
Essentially, Satan is a metaphor. We believe in the historical idea of Lucifer as a light-bringer, a principled rebel angel willing to stand up against arbitrary rules or authority. In Western countries in particular, Christianity is so dominant. Many people who identify as Satanists were raised in religious, restrictive households and made to feel oppressed because they were different in some way. So by using Satan as a symbol, we’re taking that narrative back and making it our own.

Thank you!
There are theistic satanists.... 🤷♀️
@@BreeL1998 they are not de facto Satanists, but Luciferians. In addition, most so-called "theistic Satanists" are polytheists, who are more closely akin to Pagans.
People need to stay away from all this. Don’t let curiosity lead you into hell.
“Abstain from all appearance of evil”
Don’t believe his lies - the devil is a liar and a thief
John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Romans 1:27.Romans 1:27
[27]Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. I hear practicing homosexuals use that argument all the time.please practice discernment.I gotta say everything Riaan was saying was resonating with me until that part on homosexuality.and I can't in good conscience ignore romans 1:32 . All sin is transgression of God's law and it separates us from God hence the need for Jesus who saves us from sin. we cannot hold on to our former lifestyles when we encounter christ. We become new creations. we are to die to our selves daily .we are to crucify our flesh with all its desires and passions which is possible since we can do all things in christ.All sin leads to hell and hence the need for repentance and believing in christ .It is by the same grace that gives salvation , we are taught to deny ungodliness Titus 2:11
[11]For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
[12]teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
You have stated the absolutely truth!
Only the remnant have spuritual discernment in this end time.
Deception us at an all time high in this wicked and ungodly world..we are surrounded by apostates and deceivers.
The scripture warns us to not be deceived, but to test every spirit.
This is hard to watch. It's ridiculous knowing what I know and then listening to this nonsense. I hope you now get the attention you crave, Riaan. Just do not mislead people about where you come from. The 80's were traumatising enough for some of us. Don't bring that back
I lost my sense of humour half way through this - it's 40 minutes i'll never get back >
I have a hard time with such folks. How can you hurt an animal or human. May God help me understand and sympathize. But currently I cannot. I hope they are truly saved.
As a believer in Christ, I can agree with Riaan we all struggle with sin, but the bible is clear when it comes to sin. For us to be in denial and reject what God’s word is saying about sin is another issue.
When you get filled with the Spirit, there is many sins he will convict you of and to repent. So how can we say the Holy Spirit leads and guides us into all truth when we living opposite to what the bible is saying.
I think there is a fine line of making our own interpretation and reading the bible out of context to suite our own lifestyles.
God’s Word is final.
His light is still dimmed
1 Corinthians 6:9-10. "9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God."
Thank you for this.
This guy does not want to leave his sins so he lies about what the Bible really says.
How can a person get in contact with Riaan?
You can't be Christian and gay I'm afraid
This guy needs further deliverance if he's not being fake
The Holy Spirit convicts a non-believer of SIN, singular, that is to say the need for Jesus the Savior. The Holy Spirit convicts a Believer of their righteousness, who they are in Christ, and why they do not need to practice works of the flesh. The Holy Spirit does not convict a Believer of sin/sins. Renew your mind, Riaan!!
This guy literally went from being in a satanic cult to a believer of Jesus Christ. You’re going to nit pick and suggest his mind hasn’t been renewed?
Notice how defensive, faster pace of speaking, agitated and less sure of himself he got in the end from a certain question? I was agreeing 100% on everything until that homo question, especially when he started with i don't identify with that which was such a good start.
But then he says he is married to a man so he is actively in a willing sinful lifestyle, and defending it which is the problem. I also sin and struggle with my own vices but i admit it's wrong, the holy spirit is convicting me of it as does the bible and an honest mind. You can be forgiven of sin an then do your best to sin no more as Jesus told the people he healed. If you don't admit what your doing is wrong, and might even encourage others to reject what God says is right and wrong, and decide for yourself, which is kind of the original sin where we ate of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil and started to decide ourself what we want to do and become our own gods. Then you can't ask for forgiveness of it and help to overcome, which is a problem. However they are still fairly new christians and God does things in his time, i pray also about this and anyone else trying to justify any sin in Jesus name.
There is a massive difference between worshipping Satan and being gay
Great stuff, more interviews with x cult people? Love it
I think most of us had questions about God and the Bible and looking for acceptable answers. I for one definitely. Didn't once enter my mind to become a Satanist. Being a Child of God ( whoever He is ) is all about love and empathy for others. Being there for those in need without expecting anything in return. Just a feeling of warmth in giving.
I find all of this nonsense.
i would love to do an ACTUAL real interview with these people.
lol, whats a real interview?
@@abede4598Maybe one where they actually fact check, instead of these bogus "testimonies" that Christians have been pushing since the 80s.
emperical reasoning
@@abede4598 one where the interviewer isn't a intellectual fraud.
These two people make me completely uncomfortable 😒
I dont care what your excuse is hurting animals or children is inexcusable and unforgivable
Ek het eendag n gesprek gehad met hom...N paar keer...Die laaste keer het ek vir hom gesê hy gaan nog groot werk doen vir God...Hy het kwaad geword vir my en gesê dit sal nooit gebeur nie en my geblock op facebook en messenger.....En daar is dit nou....Hy doen groot werk vir God vandag
couldn't be more wrong about homosexuality, Jesus said repent from your sin and sin no more not carry on with your sin
How can you say that you have a relationship with Jesus if you are married to a man??? What is this? Did you read Lev 18????
How to escape satanic church step 1: Don't attend
As Christians, let's take note: how many people are driven away from Christ because of our judgmental speech? Let us love another 🙏.
First one here🎉
Hope you enjoy the episode!!
how pathetically sad for you
"I'm not gay I don't identify with that label but I am married to a man" um
Prayed for you, brother Riaan. May the Lord continue to reveal the truth in His Love to you. The Lord is at work in you, you will eventually get there. I am hoping you would return soon on this channel to talk of your continued transformation and God's truth. One step at a time. God is gracious, merciful, and gives you all the time you need.
well jesus was caught with a naked boy in the garden of getsemane once and in his tomb the boy was also found alone with him. like what roman catholic priests also do. jesus and god are also inside each other....
@@charlvantonder6285WHAT?
disgusting comment. So untrue. Shame shame on you
@@charlvantonder6285Stop talking nonsense! That is a vicious atrocious lie!
I sense a bit of embellishment in these guys' story tbh. I'm not the judge of others intentions, but the whole "born again" thing seems opportunistic to me.
The guy was on here last time saying that Satanism is all about self-love and they don't do any of the hocus pocus stuff. He was saying how Satanism gets a bad rap from stupid religious people and there's nothing sinister about it. Now he's here saying the opposite, so basically he's admitting he lied the first time.
Why should we think he's not lying now? I could also be totally wrong of course.
You have a good point. However, one could just as easily see this as good evidence that a person is not lying because they are willing to admit they were wrong. Everyone has lied, this does not mean they are not telling the truth now.
@@joshuapjung only time will tell, I guess. Everything eventually comes out.
@@hasancasperlabuschagne7579 True, if they are faking, I would hope to know at some point. I tend to lean into believing the story because I similarly had some intense supernatural experiences that lead me back to faith and their story lines up with what I have experienced.
If you watch the previous podcasts he talks about the non disclosure agreements he had to sign when leaving the church of Satan and all the death threats he was getting there were a lot of things he had to lie about or wasn't willing to talk about
Look up other testimonies, Zachary King for example.. they’re not lying
After this experience he has promoted strange New Age-like teachings that "was revealed to him" so he maybe met a spirit but not the real Christ. Spirits can be deceptive and show up as "love and light". Many can testify that they are evil when they show their right side, check out "From New Age to Jesus"-testimonies.
Even if that was the case, he did get to know the real Jesus. The way he speaks I see that - he is still finding reasons to cling to his marriage, but He is very new to his walk with Christ, and he will still realise when the Lord speaks to him and he's ready to listen.
Riaan jyt mooi geantwoord oor “the friendly satanist” kom ons bid hy ontmoet Jesus ook soos jy het en skrik sy gat af en maak ń ommekeer
Die "friendly satanist" het teveel tussen die ore om te val vir antieke mensgeskryfde messapotamiese mitologie, soos delusional godsdienstiges.
Lesser men have tried. 😉
