There aren’t words to describe how much I needed this video(and not because I do sage or anything) it’s mostly because of feelings of anger and depression. If you are basking in the glory of God there is no room for anger and depression!
This is a powerful messages. I came out of a deliverance ministry and I am learning some much from your channel. Continue to let the Lord use you in a mighty way. Jesus is Lord of my life. God bless you Prophet.
Yes I had same experiences with sage when I was distant from God following spiritualism. Jesus freed me from this. Thank you for your ministry brother love watching your videos.
Actually I think this what my mom is into. My says she is believer and Christian but doesn't act it. Her behavior when she's frustrated or angry is very toxic /narcissist. She has foul mouth. She could be loving sometime in a decent mood. But she did alot questionable stuff when I was younger that I never understood (Burning stuff but wasn't sage, and talking to Mary candle light when something bad happens) She even be telling relatives and friends about dreams she be having. Most aren't decent dream, but concerning.And I have never seen her pray outside of church.
Hey Rich can you do a video on Catholicism? I was raised catholic but I no longer follow catholic tradition and would like to help bring my family members to Jesus.
See man I’m a catholic my self and it really doesn’t matter what religion you are, all that matters is you having a relationship with Jesus Christ and knowing him.
There is a lot of misinformation about the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was the first Christian church. Catholics believe in the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Catholics love Jesus, as he is the Saviour of the world. Catholics do not worship Mary, saints, nor angels. The Catholic Church has the truth. ❤️✝️❤️
@@toniblanchard8405 it’s not the first church. The Catholic Church is perverted and is the harlot on the beast in Revelation 17. The Catholic Church murdered real Bible-conformed Christians in a series of crusades and the church created lies which have been passed down generations such as the lie that they were the first and the first to compile the scriptures. Not true. Hopefully Pastor Rich will explain this.
@@DavidSanchez-qr6xdIt’s important! Some denominations like Catholicism follow demonic rituals like hailing Mary. We’ve been told that we’re supposed to expose darkness
I used sage just for smell. Didn’t know even with that innocent mentality behind it I was doing something wrong. It actually calmed me down & didn’t cause any issues in my life. Just tryna relate bc I wanna do what’s right
actually that is perfectly fine. we all know that God knows our hearts and intention, if you burnt sage for the smell then that is perfectly fine. its only witch craft when you use it in the spiritual way. But God knows you werent using it in that way do its perfectly fine and thats one thing this guy didnt mention. Intention matters. dont worry you didnt do anything wrong
I’m with you sis, I used it yesterday for the smell but I don’t think using it for the smell is worth the potential effects it can cause in our lives. Smoking weed also makes ppl calm but the long term effects simply add up and makes them even more stressed in the end! Hope this makes sense!
To the comment above mine, I was agreeing with his statement but the Holy Spirit told me to click on his page. The first video says “I miss being dead” I don’t know what it’s about but… discernment is important especially on the internet.
Genesis 1:3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. Genesis 1:29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. Exodus 30:23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, 24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And look into calamus.
This is a poor example. Why??? Two reasons. 1. We do not know if the Lord planted eeed here or if it was something created in labs just like some fruits have been created in labs and planted. 2. The things yall are smoking has so many things added to it before it gets to you to be smoked. If you were to consume weed in its purest form, your “high” wouldn’t be anywhere near what it is now.
Just found some in my house from a long time ago that I bought on a whim before I was walking with Jesus, I felt conviction about it immediately so I went seeking the truth found in Jesus and it lead me to this first, thank you so much for speaking on this, I pray for God to protect you and continue to strengthen you in wisdom and peace in the midst of any and every tribulation, God bless you.
I wish you could talk to my mother. I couldn't get her to watch this video because her mind was already made and she saw the title had to do with what we had been arguing about.😔
I used to watch Ghost Adventures a lot, I kept up with every episode. I notice they would get a priest to burn sage to 'protect' the house from evil entities. I quit watching it about 6 years ago because I would have nightmares every time and overall couldn't get sleep. I whole heartedly believe I got acquainted with insomnia because of being interested in these scary things. I still have really bad sleep I have to take meds for or else I'll have intense myoclonus, but looking back, it just doesn't make sense to use witchcraft again witchcraft. Every house divided against itself shall not stand.
@@LyssieLysse Wow that's pretty intense. I couldn't walk through my house at night without turning every light on so my peripheral vision wouldn't jump scare me. My head was so full of thinking about demons and ghosts I was scared all for nothing.
thank you my brother in Christ for this video, I'm sharing it with my friends and family members that don't know about this danger of using sage and how it does attract demons in your location, is like setting out honey and flowers to attract bees,
Yeah cause the devils deceiving you, the reason why your life is still good is because your still inviting demons, once someone quits any type of witchcraft that’s when the demons start to attack you because they are mad at you, they don’t expose themselves when your feeding them or inviting them. That’s why they aren’t attacking you yet because they want you to believe that burning sage is good but it isn’t
There's high vibrational ways of doing it and low vibrational demonic ways it's all about intent It's like herbal medicine you can acknowledge the powers of the herbs and our creator, God , without idolizing the herbs only Sage is an herb that kills parasites and parasites are demons
My family was burning Sage the other day and said that it would bring good luck and get rid of demons. I told them that I never liked the smell of Sage and they told me that I was demonic. I am a child of God and I'm far from demonic. Whenever they burn it, I immediately go to my room and pray.
AMEN 🙌🏽 Thank you for clarifying, pls pray that my daughter watches your video that I forward to her and understands as well 😢I’m praying for GOD to break the stronghold she has right now unfortunately
I have a question. What about sage and lavender candles? Is it bad to light them because you like the scent? I wouldn’t use it with any other intentions but to enjoy the scent. A Hallmark store sells them along with thoughtful gifts.
Sage is an herb that God created. Use it to honor God and pray when you use it. You could burn it for multiple reasons. It doesn't have to be for "keeping evil away" use it in a good way.
Oh nooo. Please don’t. It’s considered witchcraft in the eyes of The Lord. When you use anything like that for spiritual purposes, it will be a straight up invitation for wicked things to enter your space. God gave us Jesus; Who gave us Holy Spirit; Who wants to activate His extraordinary power through us, and most definitely our space. When we do things like that, it takes away the faith we should have in Him and what He will do for us and our environment if we just ask and pray, and worship Him… (Praising Him for His greatness and thanking Him for what He’s already done.) The Scripture in His Word is the only tool (weapon) we need. The Bible is literally our sword of the Spirit. The only thing that is guaranteed to work. When we try to add to what is already enough (God), it’s idolatry. I hope this helps; I only hope to add value for the Kingdom of The Lord. I’m in the process of sharing this information with a friend who mentioned doing this “smudging” which is witchcraft in a nutshell. Trying to explain to her about yoga, too. And the devil is mad about it, because he hates being exposed. That alone should be telling people about how threatened the enemy is by people sharing information that will tear down his dark kingdom. Demons will even let you think it works for a bit of time, so you keep doing it and giving them legal grounds to operate on. Jesus Christ is more than enough, and He wants us to believe that. He wants us to bring everything to Him, and give His Holy Spirit all the rights and ground. He wants to operate literally through us. If we don’t give Him that space, you can believe the enemy will take it any way he can. For he is a thief and wants to rob us of our joy, and destroy our lives. (John 10:10) Be blessed in Jesus’ name. Amen 🤍
Where in the Bible does it say we can’t use sage! Who told you that ppl are burning sage are doing demonic stuff!. You’re judging ppl without knowing them (is that okay with god)?.
God made sage, not the devil. The fear of sage is worse than sage (if you believe it to be) Negative energies can be referred to bad smells which sage will replace it which is important when creating a safe place for a community that’s emotionally vulnerable. Each to their own tho ✌️
Ridiculous statement. What community isn't emotionally vulnerable? We all need Jesus. Then, you wrap up your statement by showing everyone that you don't truly stand for anything by saying "each to their own tho"🙄. Even THAT you said incorrectly. It's "To each thier own."🙄
@ I mean I said it the way we say it here in Australia but if you wanna correct someone maybe try saying it correctly yourself. ‘Their’ not “Thier” 🤣 I’ve used sage to bring calmness and peace into a room especially when we have so many people that could be smelling like all sorts of things. I think it’s ignorance to say it’s demonic, it’s a plant that smells nice and has a particular energy which changes the room, incense were always used in religions for these purposes especially frankincense and myrrh
i live in a halfway house and i have a roommate that burns sage and last night i started having chest pains and i felt suffocated how do i protect myself from this
so, using sage is not wrong, if its for seasoning my food, or just using it as an air freshener. It's Only wrong to use if I'm using it for the specific person to get rid of bad/negative energy around me?
But burning fragrant incense sticks is not bad, it really gives a sense of freshness. In church also they burn pure Loban during the Roman catholic mass service in India. And Fragrant incense was gifted to Baby Jesus by the 3 wise kings. It's like love and respect for him. I don't think burning it is a sin. Who doesn't like their room being Fragrant? And praying while the incense is burning and giving positive intentions is also not a sin. This is practiced in every culture all over the world. Smudging is no different. You can spray a room freshner but it won't be natural. It's a fact that when evil spirits are around, you get a really rotten smell suddenly in the middle of the night out of no where. And they don't like good fragrance spaces. Prayer is a must but burning incense is not a sin. It was a precious gift given to the Kings and Queens in ancient times including a birthday gift for Jesus. It's like wearing a perfume to feel good, that's not a sin. We must learn something good from every culture/religion. But don't follow it blindly. Take something good from every religion / culture. Do your own research and don't believe anyone blindly.
I looked this subject up cause my moms been having anger spurs. I came home today it smelled funny then I saw a bowl with burnt sage. She still had an angry spur on my stepfather. She's messing up by not putting God first. She says she "sages in the name of Jesus" I disagree. Jesus alone is enough. You can't put him with these other beliefs. I hope Jesus touches my mother's heart.
The thing about it is that you weren’t solely burning sage, you engaged in a lot of other things along with it. The Bible tells us to stay away from specific things such as being drunk and speaking to the dead and fortune tellers. I’m just curious why the Bible isn’t specific about sage.
He never said that. He said love one another. He said love your neighbor as you love yourself. He said brothers would be divided, I think you made a mistake sorry
So question. I'm trying to read the right Bible but I'm not sure which one to start with... I have new king James version and new international version... Is there one I'm missing or should read first lol? Also is there anyway you can explain these verses at all??? I'm just confused and idk if I trust any pastors here tbh lol but you seem to know your stuff so I thought I'd try to ask... Thank you 🙏 Exodus 25:6-exodus 40:5 all of that is seriously confusing me a lot. Lol please if you can explain that'd be amazing 🙏 if not I totally understand haha
Ask for spiritual understanding before u read/study the Bible. "Lord, remove my flesh..." It's good to read different translations. Enduring word has been a helpful Bible study source after I discovered it recently...
So the devil created sage and put in on earth? Is it not the sage but more the intension put into the act? Is it not so much the carved idol but more if you worship it? Just asking. Like he said not even the cross around his neck has any power.
Depends on what’s being depicted and the reasoning to do does it glory God or not or does it draw attention to yourself…check Allen parr he answers this
I really hope the ppl saying they’re still gonna be saying are not “Christians”…. If you profess to be Christian, why are you depending on objects to bring peace when the Bible says he will give you peace that surpasses all understanding? Furthermore, why wouldn’t you take the word of a FOR AL WARLOCK when it comes to demonic testimony????? Like he said, my ppl perish for lack of knowledge.
The answer is yes. Sage is not bad in and of itself. Intent is everything. I can drink wine, or i can abuse it, it doesnt make wine itself bad. Grow up people its not hard.
Who are you to judge if the people watching this need to grow up or not? I came to this video because I’m beginning my journey of following Christ, and have many questions. It seems like you might be the one that needs to grow up, or at least become more mindful of what you say.
I’d say there’s a difference between burning sage ceremonially and burning sage for aroma. God created sage. Sage is great on chicken with pepper, garlic, salt and rosemary. It smells nice when burned in a bundle. It’s a whole different thing if I waft it and call out to the ancestors for protection, or put trust in it to cleanse my household of spirits. It’s the action of faith that opens spiritual doors good or bad. “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” Satan operates under the same premise. I’m not advocating for Ouija boards whatsoever, they should be nowhere near your home, but if one were in your home it is not an open door for demons until you place your fingers on the thing and ask it a question in faith that an answer will come. That opens the spiritual door. Faith. Any ceremony is acting in faith because you believe the ceremony accomplishes something. I’m still putting sage on my chicken. And I’m all good with the singer in my band, a solid Christian and avid reader of theology, burns sage at our rehearsals.
The devil don’t care about “your intentions.” You spiritually open doors doing sage and “legalistically” the devil and his demons will take advantage, creep in and destroy your life. You can’t defeat a demon using a demon. Sage is witchcraft.
No, it's not only about intent. It's USAGE! Sage should be used in food or perhaps medicinally, maybe in a tea. BURNING sage, REDARDLESS OF INTENT, IS DEMONIC. PERIOD! ENGAGING IN ANY RITUAL, ESPECIALLY BURNING SAGE IS DEMONIC! SATAN DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOUR INTENT WAS WHEN YOU OPENED THE DOOR, HE'S GOING TO WALK IN! PERIOD!!!
You have no idea what you're talking about I'm part Native American and confirmed in the traditional Catholic Church we burn sage for the same reasons at EVERY Traditional society of St.Pius the tenth mass they burn frankincense for the exact same reasons this guy is all tattd up and in the apocrypha it says God cursed a man so he sent him to the desert and he turned black this dudes part black and cursed obviously do you're research buddy I don't smudge I have in the past but after watching this video I see where you're coming from and won't smudge anymore but I burn sage because. I like the smell and it has proven health benefits it helps you to relax its more natural than pharmakeia taking benzodiazepines I have to though for my PTSD and anxiety and panic attacks.
Ima christian! My mom do that and she take witchcraft baths and she burnin all that stuff up in our home! Yet she’s catholic! She so deceived all I can do is pray for her 🤷🏽♂️ she affecting me tho wit her ways
I came across this video for a reason I used sage for many years to cleanse I now understand your word I just have one question how about holy water can you plss make a video about it and if it has the power to make demons flee cause in my Catholic Church we believe so is it ok for me to continue to use holy water as a tool to bless my self
how do we know that the bible is the correct way? what about any of the other religionns? budism, the koran???? we just practice what our ancestors taught us. nobody knows the truth....
Hi pastor Rich, Thank you for your video! Maybe a stupid question, but what about using sage in spaghetti sauce for example or in an other food dish? Is that different, or should we also stay away from that?
i disagree that the intention is stated here, burning sage with the idea to change the energy to add a chemical thing is not demonic and it is again the intention. God put sage on the earth, we need not worry about protection from demons, just love God and Jesus with all your heart and serve others
Sage stinks! 😷 So if someone says it’s to make the home smell good, that’s a lie. You can smear poop 💩 on the wall and get the same scent 😂😂😂 yall don’t be deceived please ❤
There aren’t words to describe how much I needed this video(and not because I do sage or anything) it’s mostly because of feelings of anger and depression. If you are basking in the glory of God there is no room for anger and depression!

don't do it, it's just like yoga (hindu belife), you can't separate the physical from the spiritual

Can you please do a video on

Very good video!
I came here cause I was wondering about burning incense sticks, i did it before I got saved but it was just because of the aroma for me
I wish I knew all of this but I never knew Sage was a form of witchcraft Spirtual baths 🤦🏾♀️
Should we burn incense in church ⛪️ as it was in the Bible ?
you can't release the negative energy of sin without repentance and Jesus
so, using sage is not wrong, if its for seasoning my food, or just using it as an air freshener. It's Only wrong to use if I'm using it for the specific person to get rid of bad/negative energy around me?
But burning fragrant incense sticks is not bad, it really gives a sense of freshness. In church also they burn pure Loban during the Roman catholic mass service in India. And Fragrant incense was gifted to Baby Jesus by the 3 wise kings. It's like love and respect for him. I don't think burning it is a sin. Who doesn't like their room being Fragrant? And praying while the incense is burning and giving positive intentions is also not a sin. This is practiced in every culture all over the world. Smudging is no different. You can spray a room freshner but it won't be natural. It's a fact that when evil spirits are around, you get a really rotten smell suddenly in the middle of the night out of no where. And they don't like good fragrance spaces. Prayer is a must but burning incense is not a sin. It was a precious gift given to the Kings and Queens in ancient times including a birthday gift for Jesus. It's like wearing a perfume to feel good, that's not a sin. We must learn something good from every culture/religion. But don't follow it blindly. Take something good from every religion / culture. Do your own research and don't believe anyone blindly.
I looked this subject up cause my moms been having anger spurs. I came home today it smelled funny then I saw a bowl with burnt sage. She still had an angry spur on my stepfather. She's messing up by not putting God first. She says she "sages in the name of Jesus" I disagree. Jesus alone is enough. You can't put him with these other beliefs. I hope Jesus touches my mother's heart.
What if you live with your mom and she’s the one who burns it 😢
Also, can you do a video on curandera and egg cleanses?
The thing about it is that you weren’t solely burning sage, you engaged in a lot of other things along with it. The Bible tells us to stay away from specific things such as being drunk and speaking to the dead and fortune tellers. I’m just curious why the Bible isn’t specific about sage.
Jesus said that I can't be his disciple unless I hate my parents & siblings & my own life. No thanks... I think I'll pass on that.
He never said that. He said love one another. He said love your neighbor as you love yourself. He said brothers would be divided, I think you made a mistake sorry
He says love no one more than you love Him. Honor thy mother and father are in scripture
So question. I'm trying to read the right Bible but I'm not sure which one to start with... I have new king James version and new international version... Is there one I'm missing or should read first lol? Also is there anyway you can explain these verses at all??? I'm just confused and idk if I trust any pastors here tbh lol but you seem to know your stuff so I thought I'd try to ask... Thank you 🙏
Exodus 25:6-exodus 40:5 all of that is seriously confusing me a lot. Lol please if you can explain that'd be amazing 🙏 if not I totally understand haha
Ask for spiritual understanding before u read/study the Bible.
"Lord, remove my flesh..."
It's good to read different translations.
Enduring word has been a helpful Bible study source after I discovered it recently...
Question ? What about dead sea salt can it be use also or is it bad to use
This is not the coward to ask.
Amen🙏🏼
Amen 🙏🏾
So the devil created sage and put in on earth? Is it not the sage but more the intension put into the act? Is it not so much the carved idol but more if you worship it? Just asking. Like he said not even the cross around his neck has any power.
God created Sage. The devil creates nothing and only copies. We do not need sage for clearing or protection. Only God can do this.
@@araenasanchez That is kind of my point. sage has no power.
Thank you for this Amen
Pray for me pls
Richard, what you think of John Ramirez ?
Sage. True. Demons stayed. Useless.
We lit 😂 ….Facts tho
Question: Can Christian’s Get Tattoos after being saved?
Depends on what’s being depicted and the reasoning to do does it glory God or not or does it draw attention to yourself…check Allen parr he answers this
@@averyc8915 Yup, he answered it well and made so much sense of it! Thanks brother
❤
Leviticus 19 28
i agree with you. God bless❤️
Sleep paralysis is horrible, i suffer from it.
Way better explanation thank you. You never made natives feel dumb good job. Praise God.
I really hope the ppl saying they’re still gonna be saying are not “Christians”…. If you profess to be Christian, why are you depending on objects to bring peace when the Bible says he will give you peace that surpasses all understanding? Furthermore, why wouldn’t you take the word of a FOR AL WARLOCK when it comes to demonic testimony????? Like he said, my ppl perish for lack of knowledge.
🙏 AMEN
Please don’t do it. Keep your temple pure in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Great explanation
Thank you!!
I needed this video
The answer is yes. Sage is not bad in and of itself. Intent is everything. I can drink wine, or i can abuse it, it doesnt make wine itself bad. Grow up people its not hard.
Who are you to judge if the people watching this need to grow up or not? I came to this video because I’m beginning my journey of following Christ, and have many questions. It seems like you might be the one that needs to grow up, or at least become more mindful of what you say.
I’d say there’s a difference between burning sage ceremonially and burning sage for aroma. God created sage. Sage is great on chicken with pepper, garlic, salt and rosemary. It smells nice when burned in a bundle. It’s a whole different thing if I waft it and call out to the ancestors for protection, or put trust in it to cleanse my household of spirits. It’s the action of faith that opens spiritual doors good or bad. “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” Satan operates under the same premise. I’m not advocating for Ouija boards whatsoever, they should be nowhere near your home, but if one were in your home it is not an open door for demons until you place your fingers on the thing and ask it a question in faith that an answer will come. That opens the spiritual door. Faith.
Any ceremony is acting in faith because you believe the ceremony accomplishes something.
I’m still putting sage on my chicken. And I’m all good with the singer in my band, a solid Christian and avid reader of theology, burns sage at our rehearsals.
@@libbybloom3215offense is a choice my friend. This should not have offended you the way it did. We all need to grow and mature.
The devil don’t care about “your intentions.” You spiritually open doors doing sage and “legalistically” the devil and his demons will take advantage, creep in and destroy your life. You can’t defeat a demon using a demon. Sage is witchcraft.
No, it's not only about intent. It's USAGE! Sage should be used in food or perhaps medicinally, maybe in a tea. BURNING sage, REDARDLESS OF INTENT, IS DEMONIC. PERIOD! ENGAGING IN ANY RITUAL, ESPECIALLY BURNING SAGE IS DEMONIC! SATAN DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOUR INTENT WAS WHEN YOU OPENED THE DOOR, HE'S GOING TO WALK IN! PERIOD!!!
You have no idea what you're talking about I'm part Native American and confirmed in the traditional Catholic Church we burn sage for the same reasons at EVERY Traditional society of St.Pius the tenth mass they burn frankincense for the exact same reasons this guy is all tattd up and in the apocrypha it says God cursed a man so he sent him to the desert and he turned black this dudes part black and cursed obviously do you're research buddy I don't smudge I have in the past but after watching this video I see where you're coming from and won't smudge anymore but I burn sage because. I like the smell and it has proven health benefits it helps you to relax its more natural than pharmakeia taking benzodiazepines I have to though for my PTSD and anxiety and panic attacks.
Take s hot bath and cup hot milk etc not drugs
Ima christian! My mom do that and she take witchcraft baths and she burnin all that stuff up in our home! Yet she’s catholic! She so deceived all I can do is pray for her 🤷🏽♂️ she affecting me tho wit her ways
Me too brother
Tell her pray or move
Dunno what a witchcraft bath is but u tell her u aren't having anything ro do w it
As an indigenous woman, I have NEVER had a bad experience with Sage. Sorry, but my sage is not demonic!
❤
Then is having holywater do nothing...genuinely asking no hate
"free 99" DUDE!! I've missed that.
I came across this video for a reason I used sage for many years to cleanse I now understand your word I just have one question how about holy water can you plss make a video about it and if it has the power to make demons flee cause in my Catholic Church we believe so is it ok for me to continue to use holy water as a tool to bless my self
how do we know that the bible is the correct way? what about any of the other religionns? budism, the koran???? we just practice what our ancestors taught us. nobody knows the truth....
Hi pastor Rich, Thank you for your video! Maybe a stupid question, but what about using sage in spaghetti sauce for example or in an other food dish? Is that different, or should we also stay away from that?
That's for flavor, not magical rituals that are against God.
i disagree that the intention is stated here, burning sage with the idea to change the energy to add a chemical thing is not demonic and it is again the intention. God put sage on the earth, we need not worry about protection from demons, just love God and Jesus with all your heart and serve others
In Orthodox CHRISTIANITY also!!! So sad!
Sage stinks! 😷 So if someone says it’s to make the home smell good, that’s a lie. You can smear poop 💩 on the wall and get the same scent 😂😂😂 yall don’t be deceived please ❤
Rude
@@tracierondeau why? Because I’m telling the truth??
God is so much more powerful than any silly sage. I wonder why Catholics do these silly rituals instead of trusting in Jesus
I burn sage and I'm a Christian and I pray to Jesus the whole time I'm doing it
All cap. Still waiting for the biblical explanation for why sage is bad.
SAGE SMUGE IS FOR DARKNESS SPIRITS
I don’t agree with this!
@@LyssieLysse look up the meaning of warlock it's not what you think ,and Google isn't correct
Oof. Dude uses warlock for clickbait. He’s a coward.
yes you can burn sage as a Christian
you cannot partake of the devils table and of God's table. It's one or the other.
@@mingo2024 it depends on your intention the sage itself is not demonic, thats like saying spoons make you fat
Sage is evil! Period!
This is impressively stupid 😂😂
This is so selfish omg
Your not righteous.
Actually you can make tea out of it to get rid of parasites which we all have.
