Reclaiming the New Age? Should Christians "Glean" Secrets from the Occult & Mysticism?
Are certain spiritual practices infiltrating the church truly "reclaimed" truths or dangerous doctrines of demons?
In this urgent teaching, Pastor Jonnathan, a former devout Buddhist entrenched in mysticism and sorcery, tackles one of the most controversial issues facing the modern church: the growing acceptance of New Age philosophies, occult practices, and ungodly mixture.
Many leaders are now teaching believers to "glean" from non-Christian sources like Tony Robbins, Eckhart Tolle, and the creators of "The Secret." But what does the Bible truly say about mixing the holy with the profane?
Watch to Learn:
The Problem with "Reclaiming": Why attempting to extract Godly things from the profane is spiritual deception and a path to defilement [08:16].
The Biblical Mandate: The powerful, non-negotiable action new converts took in the Book of Acts regarding books of magic and witchcraft [04:26].
Discernment vs. Naiveté: The danger of believing you can "eat the meat and spit out the bones" when you aren't fully versed in God's Word [11:35].
The Infiltration of the Occult: How things like yoga and angel cards were allowed to enter the church and why they grieve the Holy Spirit [12:22].
Seeking Living Water: Understanding why drinking from the well of the world will always leave you thirsty, but Jesus's water springs up to eternal life [15:37].
The Bible is clear: God does not want mixture in your life or your church. Stop seeking secrets in the darkness and step fully into the light and purity of Jesus Christ.
Key Moments & Scripture
Why mysticism and power displays are prioritized over character and holiness in the modern church.
Acts 19:17-20: The powerful precedent for burning books of magic.
The difference between the holy and the profane (Ezekiel 44:23).

Deuteronomy 22:9: The danger of "sewing your vineyard with two kinds of seed."
Can a fountain send out both fresh and bitter water? (James 3:11-12).
Within God's kingdom, the ends never justify the means.
