Hello, darling! Welcome back to the blog!

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while now. As I sit here, wrapped in my favourite oversized jumper, sipping my decaf coffee (yes, you heard that right—decaf), with the soft noise of my house in the background, I can’t help but feel it’s time to talk about something that’s been on my heart for a long time. It’s one of those conversations that’s been bubbling inside me, and now I’m finally ready to share it with you.

Today, I want to open up about something personal, something that has shaped my life and faith in big ways. So, let’s get real for a moment.

I’m talking about my past journey with New Age beliefs.

How it All Began

If I’m honest, when I first started exploring manifestation, it seemed harmless. I was curious, looking for ways to improve my life. I wanted to create positive change, to feel empowered, and to believe that I could influence the direction of my own destiny. I even saw results—things I had hoped for seemed to fall into place. It felt good like I was in control.

But the more I dove into New Age practices, the more I started to question things. It began innocently enough. What started as a harmless curiosity soon snowballed into something deeper— focusing on the “universe” to manifest desires, and becoming obsessed with the law of attraction.

I began to believe that my thoughts and intentions could shape my reality. I thought I had the power to control my own fate. But as I explored more, I began to feel more and more disconnected. The peace I thought I was manifesting never truly arrived. Instead, I felt emptier, more confused, and spiritually drained.

The Deeper Struggle

Despite all the new-age practices and promises, something was missing. I was always looking for answers, manifestation, yoga, yet nothing seemed to provide real peace. The more I relied on these practices to guide me, the further I moved away from the Lord, not even realising that the deep void in my soul was only growing. I kept grasping at things that promised peace but delivered only fleeting comfort.

The more I tried to control my life and future through these methods, the more anxious and lost I became. I had turned to these practices to fix my life, but each time I reached out to them, I was left empty. It felt like I was chasing something that was always just out of reach.

The Turning Point

The breakthrough came when I hit rock bottom. It was a time of intense spiritual warfare when I felt emotionally wrecked, drained, and completely lost. I had tried everything—manifestation, yoga, breathing work, but nothing worked. I was overwhelmed and desperate, and that’s when God’s grace broke through.

I had been searching for answers in all the wrong places, thinking I could control my life through manifestation and the “universe.” But in my lowest moment, when I finally reached out to God, He revealed Himself to me in ways I never expected. His love was unconditional. His forgiveness was abundant. And His grace was more than I could ever have imagined.

The Truth That Changed Everything

When I surrendered to God, everything changed. I realised that I had been deceived. New Age spirituality had convinced me I could control my life on my own, but true fulfilment isn’t found in self-made power or the illusion of control. It’s found in surrendering to the one true God, who created the universe and holds all power in His hands.

Through my journey back to God, I discovered a love that doesn’t fade like the promises of New Age beliefs. God’s love is eternal. It’s healing, comforting, and restorative. I no longer had to rely on manifestation techniques to find meaning and peace. All I needed was a relationship with Jesus Christ, who is the true source of peace, purpose, and healing.

A Word of Encouragement

If you’re reading this and find yourself caught up in New Age beliefs, I want you to know that there is hope. Jesus is calling you back, just as He called me. You don’t need to keep searching for answers in places that only lead to confusion and darkness. True peace, joy, and eternal life are found in Him alone.

No matter where you are in your journey whether you’re deep in New Age beliefs or just starting to question them, know that Jesus is waiting for you with open arms. His grace is available to you today. There is no darkness so deep that His light cannot enter. He has the power to rescue you, just as He rescued me.

So, here I stand, forever grateful for the grace of God that saved me from the lies of New Age spirituality. He rescued me when I couldn’t rescue myself. And I know that no matter where you are, He can do the same for you.

All praise to God, the Father, for His never-ending love, mercy, and grace.

In His name, Amen.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and walk with me through this part of my journey. Stay true to who you are, keep seeking God’s guidance, and remember, He is always with you, leading you every step of the way. Let’s keep growing together, leaning on Him, and trusting in His perfect timing.

Sending blessings to you!
