At just nine years old, a group of Buddhist monks identified Pastor Jonnathan as a potential reincarnated Buddha—an enlightened being prophesied to return. For years, he mastered the practices of Buddhism, from astral projection and chi manipulation to opening the "third eye." He even had encounters with the Dalai Lama and trained under a renowned witch doctor.

​But behind the meditation and chanting, his life was in chaos. No amount of "emptying the mind" could heal the depression and hopelessness left by years of abuse. In this video, he shares his journey of leaving the cycle of karma and reincarnation to find the true peace and grace of Jesus Christ.

​In this video, he discusses:

​The Reality of Karma vs. Grace: Why a works-based system of "punishment and reward" left me empty [04:31].

​My Encounter with the Dalai Lama: The dream that foretold his visit to Houston and the offer to move to Tibet [19:07].

​Exposing the Occult in the Church: How practices like "energy work," "Christ consciousness," and "breathwork" are infiltrating modern spirituality [01:46].

​The Danger of Astral Projection: What I saw in the spirit realm and the biblical truth about the "silver cord" [32:06].

​A Prayer of Renunciation: A guided prayer for those looking to break free from the bondage of the occult and step into the freedom of Christ [37:37].
