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).
Which New Age influencers and books are being recommended by Christian leaders.
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.

![From Karma to Grace: My Journey from a Potential Buddha to Jesus Christ
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.

![Faithful Stewardship
Luke 16:10-13 NASB
“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. [11] Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? [12] And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? [13] No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
Matthew 6:19-21 NASB
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. [20] But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; [21] for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Faithful Stewardship](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Pv3p4Pnl0fc/mqdefault.jpg)
