Meditation is supposed to be good for you and should have a positive effect on society. Et bedre fokus, konsentrasjon, improving memory and emotional processing, finne ditt indre "jeg", indre fred, opplysning, helbredelse, lykke, reducing anxiety, understreke, frykt, og depresjon. These are just some of the wonderful promises that persuade people, inkludert kristne, to meditate. They think meditation is beneficial and has a positive impact on their lives, especially transcendental meditation. They don’t consider the negative side effects of meditation. But is meditation good for you or is meditation dangerous and a gateway to evil, angst, og katastrofe? Should Christians practice meditation or is meditation a sin? What is the spiritual danger of meditation that many people are not aware of?
The influence of meditation in Western society
Bare et øyeblikk, withdraw yourself from your busy life, empty your mind, unwind, and relax, to experience inner peace. It sounds so good and promising. And even (medisinsk) science substantiates the claims of the benefits of meditation and promotes meditation. På grunn av det, meditation has become part of Western society.
Many schools, selskaper, (statlige) byråer, helseinstitusjoner, og (sport) clubs implemented meditation, without knowing the danger of meditation.
The Eastern spirit blows over the West, and very subtly and slowly the Easter spirit takes possession of the West.
Even churches and Christians, who supposed to be spiritual and know the spiritual danger of meditation, succumbed to the meditation hype. Due to this deceptive wandering spirit and the lack of spiritual knowledge, manykirker har blitt okkulte through the lives of carnal Christians.
Many Christians have been seduced by these Eastern religions and philosophies and their occult practices, inkludert meditasjon. They apply meditation techniques thinking that meditation is beneficial and don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation. They meditate to find their inner ‘self’ and inner peace. Men er dette bibelsk?
Should Christians meditate or is meditation a sin? What does the Bible say about meditation and the danger of meditation? To answer these questions, let us first look at the practice and history of meditation.
Hva er meditasjon?
Meditation is a method that uses natural techniques to connect with your inner ‘self’; din sjel. Gjennom meditasjon, you gain insights into yourself, strengthen yourself, og oppleve indre ro.
Du kan meditere på pusten din, en viss tanke, ord(s), mantra(s), gjenstand, person(s), aktivitet, etc.
Meditasjon er en del av den buddhistiske veien til opplysning (oppvåkning); tilstanden Nirvana og selvrealisering
Hva er opprinnelsen til meditasjon?
Meditasjon, spesielt transcendental meditasjon (which is most practiced in Western society), har sitt opphav i hinduismen og buddhismen. As you might know, Buddhism originated from Hinduism.
The oldest sacred texts that mention meditation are the Vedas. What does Vedas mean? Vedas means knowledge and originates from ancient India.
What are Vedas? Vedas are the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. From the Vedas, the practice of meditation evolved. Gjennom tidene, many forms of meditation have developed.
Mediation originates from Hinduism and has influenced many cultures and religions. These different cultures and religions created different forms of meditation. derimot, the spiritual roots of the practice of meditation are in Hinduism.
What are the types of meditation?
There are many types of meditation. A list of types of meditation is:
- Transcendental meditation (bruker mantraer)
- Body scan meditation
- Breathing meditation
- Contemplation
- Dance meditation
- Metta meditasjon (konsentrasjonsmeditasjon)
- Mindfulness meditasjon
- Reiki meditasjon
- Han kan ikke meditere (konsentrasjonsmeditasjon)
- Rolig meditasjon (innsiktsmeditasjon)
- Vipassana meditasjon (innsiktsmeditasjon)
- Zen meditasjon
Hva er den åndelige faren ved meditasjon?
Mange folk, inkludert kristne, are not aware of the spiritual danger of meditation. They think they can separate the religious and spiritual aspects and origin from Eastern religions and philosophies and its practices. Men det er umulig! Since the religions, filosofier, og praksis stammer fra det åndelige. (Les også: Kan du skille det åndelige fra østlige filosofier og praksiser?).
Når du mediterer, you use Eastern methods that originated from pagan religions and philosophies. These Eastern meditation methods are created, utviklet, og inspirert av kanalisering med åndelige veiledere eller enheter. These spirit guides or entities are in reality evil spirits (demoner).
When you enter the spiritual realm out of the flesh (sjel og kropp), and from your soul search for connections in the spiritual realm, you enter the territory of the devil (mørke) and open yourself to evil spirits that enter your life.
When you meditate and apply meditation technics, you apply technics, which originally derived from evil spirits.
By practicing meditation methods, you submit to evil spirits. Because you believe that when you practice these meditation techniques you find and get, what you look for and want and what is promised.
You follow the words and techniques of people, who opened themselves to evil spirits. People who channeled with evil spirits and were inspired by these evil spirits.
By submitting to these evil spirits and have communion with them, you allow them into your life. You give control to them over your soul and body. Fra det øyeblikket, evil spirits will enter your life.
These evil spirits control and guide you through your senses, tanker, følelser, følelser, vil, og kropp.
What are the negative side effects of meditation?
I begynnelsen, you feel great and peaceful and experience pleasant feelings. Maybe you experienced depression, angst, worry, or stress, and by meditating, these negative and destructive feelings disappeared. At that moment you don’t see any danger of meditation, on the contrary, you experience good things.
Men dette vil bare være midlertidig. Fordi onde ånder ikke forteller sannheten, but they lie. Evil spirits never give something for free. They always want something in return.
They gave you (temporary) peace in exchange for your soul. Since you listened to them and believed and obeyed them by practicing meditation and bowing down to them.
These evil spirits operate from your soul and start their destructive work in your life.
Who do you believe God or the devil?
Fred etterlater jeg deg, Min fred gir jeg deg: ikke som verden gir, gi jeg til deg. La ikke ditt hjerte bli urolig, la den heller ikke være redd (John 14:27)
Bibelen (Guds ord) says, 'Fred etterlater jeg deg, Min fred gir jeg deg”. But instead of believing the words of God, Christians believe the words of evil spirits, which are spoken through the mouths of people, who denied God, og si, “If you want to experience rest and peace in your life, then you have to bow down for me and follow these techniques and methods and I give you rest and peace.”
Men hvis du lytter til djevelen og adlyder ham og bøyer deg for ham, du vil aldri få det han lover. Because the devil is a liar.
The devil wants to be the god of people. He wants the people to worship him and exhalt him. Formålet med djevelen og onde ånder er å manifestere mørkets rike på jorden. He can only do this through the lives of people. Therefore they try to control as many people as possible. They darken their minds, so that they don’t see the danger of meditation and fall into the trap of the devil.
The more people believe their lies, the more people bow down to them, submit to them, and give control to them. This way, they gain more power and the darkness increases on earth. (Les også: Djevelens makt er drevet av synd).
Demonic spirits are eager to give what carnal people desire, need, and ask for. As long as people yield to them and stay in the kingdom of darkness.
What is the carnal result of meditation?
Tyven kommer ikke, men for å stjele, og å drepe, og å ødelegge: Jeg er kommet for at de skal ha liv, og at de kan ha det mer rikelig (John 10:10).
The purpose of the devil and evil spirits is to steal, kill, and destroy. First, the devil will give you what you asked and searched for. But this is only temporary and will change soon.
Your feelings of happiness and peace shall change. Because you were not spiritually awake and watched and didn’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, you shall experience the carnal result of meditation aka the negative side effects of meditation. You shall feel weird and (extremely) tired and maybe experience headaches. Urent (seksuell) følelser vil komme inn i tankene dine og trakassere deg.
Du kan oppleve konsentrasjonsvansker, søvnproblemer (insomnia), angst. You may experience changes in your behavior, like mood swings, mangel på tålmodighet, ukontrollerbart sinne, eller plutselige raserianfall som forårsaker verbal vold og/eller voldelig oppførsel (overgrep i hjemmet).
Maybe you start hearing voices in your head, dictating to you what to do.
Gjennom meditasjon, onde ånder av seksuell urenhet, utukt, utroskap, skilsmisse, avgudsdyrkelse, addiction, and violence, (psykisk og fysisk sykdom) enter and control your mind and manifest in your life.
Mange folk, who have engaged in meditation and entered the occult realm from their soul, became victims of the devil and suffer from mental illness.
What is the Danger of transcendental meditation?
Det er mange folk, who practiced transcendental meditation and became anxious, distressed, or depressed after (transcendental) meditasjon.
Many people suffer from severe mental health issues, avhengighet, and/or have become violent towards themselves and others. They struggle with intrusive thoughts, depressive tanker, panikk anfall, angst, frykter, selvmordstanker, or end up in psychosis.
Instead of finding themselves and finding peace and happiness through transcendental meditation, they found the opposite. They became worse than they were before practicing transcendental meditation
Finnes kristen meditasjon?
Finnes kristen meditasjon? Of course not! Although there are so-called Christians, who say they practice Christian meditation or a derivative of meditation, like a (meditativ) bønn med bønneperler, kontemplativ bønn, sentrerende bønn, Lectio Divina (kontemplativ lesing av Bibelen), Kristne kroppsskanninger, Kristen stillhet trekker seg tilbake. Men sannheten er, det er ikke noe slikt som kristen meditasjon.
Er det ikke merkelig, that the Bible exist for ages and suddenly in the last 20 years all kinds of strange doctrines and methods, which are copied from Eastern religions, filosofier, og new-age cults, appear and are taught and applied in churches?
If meditation were a Biblical principle and practiced, why isn’t it mentioned in the Bible and included in the Law? Wouldn’t God’s people practiced it for ages? Noe som ikke er tilfelle. At least, when you read the Bible in the whole and right context. Instead of picking and choosing a word or a part of a sentence, change it and build your doctrine upon it.
Are contemplative prayer, sentrerende bønn, and lectio divina Biblical?
Kontemplativ bønn, sentrerende bønn, and Lectio Divina are just some of the many occult practices that the catholic church has practiced for ages. derimot, we must remember, that the catholic church went astray and adopted occult practices from pagan religions, filosofier, og kulturer, in the very early stage of Christianity. Why did the catholic church adopt paganism? The catholic church adopted paganism to attract unbelievers to the church.
The church compromised. Som et resultat, kirken ble den katolske kirken; den utro og universelle kirken som er full av avgudsdyrkelse, okkulte ritualer og praksiser, og seksuell urenhet.
The devil succeeded then in seducing the church. And the devil still succeeds in seducing the church with the same subtle techniques.
Because not only the catholic church, but almost all denominations succumbed and are defiled and influenced by the powers of darkness and became occult churches. They didn’t see the spiritual danger of meditation and all other pagan doctrines and rituals. (Les også: Den okkulte kirke).
Nowhere in the New Testament, do we read about Christian meditation, as practiced today. Vi leser ikke at Jesus mediterte. derimot, some false teachers contradict this. They say that Jesus meditated. But that’s a lie from the pit of hell.
Mediterte Jesus?
Jesus didn’t meditate but Jesus prayed. Jesus tilbrakte mye tid med sin Far i bønn. He didn’t use carnal methods and techniques to empty His mind, seek His Father, become one with His Father, and have a mystical experience in His flesh (følelser og emosjoner), and experience His love or connect Himself to His inner ‘Self’.
Jesus knew who He was. He lived in union with the Father through the Spirit. Jesus visste at han var Guds Sønn og kjente sin Fars vilje og kjærlighet. If Jesus meditated to feel the oneness with God and experience the love of His Father in His flesh, Jesus would have walked after the flesh and led by the flesh. Men Jesus vandret i tro etter Ånden og ikke etter kjødet.
We also don’t read anything about Jesus commanding His disciples to meditate.
Jesus never instructed His disciples to apply carnal techniques and methods to ‘get there’ or for ‘self-salvation’.
We also don’t read that the disciples meditated and practiced meditation methods. The disciples prayed, som er helt annerledes!
Da disiplene var den gamle skapningen, de ba Jesus Kristus lære dem hvordan de skulle be. Jesus taught them how to pray.
In the prayer of Jesus, the will of God and His Kingdom are the center and not (viljen til) people and not people’s earthly kingdom.
When the disciples became the new creation, de trengte ingen til å lære dem hvordan de skulle be. Because their spirit was raised from the dead. And the Holy Spirit, som bodde i dem, taught them and directed them in their prayers. If they didn’t know what to pray, the Holy Spirit helped in their infirmities (romerne 8:26=27)
Jesus and His disciples prayed
Jesus og disiplene ba til Faderen. But they didn’t use all kinds of carnal techniques and methods to ‘become more spiritual’, experience carnal warm and fuzzy feelings of love or unity, or receive (materiale) velsignelser for seg selv. They died to ‘self’; they died to the will, lyster, og kjødets ønsker. Derfor, their prayers focused on the will of God and establishing and enlarging the Kingdom of God on earth.
But because many Christians are not born again and are not spiritual but carnal and still belong to the generation of fallen man and the world, they are subject to the spirits of this world and don’t see the danger of meditation.
They live under the dominion of worldly spirits (elements of this world). These worldly spirits cause Christians to adopt and apply the carnal knowledge, visdom, religioner, filosofier, techniques, metoder, and practices of the world into their lives.
How Christians have christianized meditation?
To justify meditation and make meditation approved in the church, uten å føle skyld mot Gud, carnal Christians have poured out a pious Christian sauce over the practice of meditation by putting the word ‘Christian’ in front of meditation. This way, they can join the world instead of being excluded.
Og slik ble kristen meditasjon til og mange såkalte kristne, inkludert teologer og ledere av kirken, practice meditation.
Many Christians don’t have time to pray and read and study the Bible in the whole and right context (dette betyr ikke Lectio Divina). Hvorfor? Because they are too busy with their daily lives, (social) media, (social) activities, og entertainment.
derimot, they do have time to meditate. And if they don’t, they make time to meditate and empty their minds and focus and search for their inner self and oneness with God and have a mystical experience with God and feel God’s presence and His feelings of love for them.
Kjødet ønsker ikke å underkaste seg Guds vilje og be. But the flesh wants to meditate. This proves the flesh still reigns and the ‘self’ is still alive and sits on the throne of someone’s life.
A carnal church rejects sanctification and embraces sin
Many churches reject repentance, sanctification and the removal of sin. På grunn av det, the people don’t change but stay carnal and persevere in sin and allow and approve of sin in the church.
They reject the baptism in water and with the Holy Spirit. They also reject speaking in tongues, which is a commandment of Jesus Christ in the Bible. But the churches allow occult Eastern practices that derive from the carnal mind of people, who were influenced by demonic spirits, and they bow down to the god of this world.
This proves the churches are carnal. Therefore they don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation or any other occult practice. And because they don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, they practice meditation.
The people want short sermons and church services. So that people have more time to fellowship. But meditating in a lotus or combined prayer position on a mat on the cold floor in the church for an hour is not a problem.
Hva sier Bibelen om meditasjon?
meditation in the Old Testament
There is no Biblical meditation. Ordet "meditere", in the Old Testament of the Bible, refers to the remembrance of God’s laws, His words that represent His will, and what God had done. So that His people knew the will of God and His acts forever.
By meditating on the laws and words of God, God’s law would be in the minds of His people. Since the mind determines every word and deed, the people of God would live according to the will of God and would honor and exalt Him through their obedience to His law; Hans vilje.
The meditation in the Bible didn’t refer to connections in the spiritual realm, searching the will of God, and experiencing and feeling God’s presence and oneness with God. Since God had made His will known to His people by giving the law. But the meditation in the Old Testament referred to getting to know God and the will of God by meditating on the law of God.
“Dette Lovboken skal ikke vike ut av din munn”
Bare vær sterk og veldig modig, for at du skal passe på å gjøre etter hele loven, som Moses, min tjener, befalte deg: vend ikke fra den til høyre eller venstre, for at du skal ha det godt hvor du enn går. Denne lovboken skal ikke vike ut av din munn; men du skal meditere der dag og natt, for at du skal passe på å gjøre alt det som står skrevet der: for da skal du gjøre din vei velstående, og da skal du ha god suksess (Joshua 1:7-8)
For eksempel, Josva måtte meditere over Guds lov natt og dag. Hvorfor? Slik at Guds lov, som åpenbarer Guds vilje, be known by Joshua, som måtte lede Guds folk.
Som leder for Guds folk, Josva måtte kjenne Guds vilje, and obey and keep the will of God in everything he did. So that Joshua and God’s people would walk according to the will of God and God would be with him (and His people) and bless him and make his ways prosperous.
David meditated on the Law of God
David mediterte over Guds lov hele dagen. Dette betyr ikke, that David sat on a mat in a lotus position facing the East the whole day and meditated in silence. Nei, it meant that God’s will was written in David’s mind. David was delighted to live according to God’s will. David hoped that the meditations of his heart, upon which the law of God was written, var til behag for ham. (Åh. Salmer 5:1-2; 19:14; 49:3; 104:34-35;119:97-104).
Hvis bare folket, som går i kirken, read and study the Bible, renew their minds with the Word of God, og meditere over Guds vilje, as in the Old Testament, they would know the will of God. And if they love God, their lives will be according to the will of God. (Les også: Elsker du Gud av hele ditt hjerte?).
Then they would fear the Lord and love God with all their heart, sinn, sjel, and strength. They’d see the spiritual danger of meditation.
They would stay faithful to God, instead of committing idolatry by following false religions and philosophies, adopting their techniques, metoder, ritualer, objects and serving false gods, and practicing sexual uncleanness.
They’d love their neighbor as themselves and wouldn’t commit fornication or adultery and divorce their spouse but stay loyal to their vow. De ville ikke stjele.
The children wouldn’t rebel against their parents, men respekter foreldrene deres og ær dem.
“Å hvor elsker jeg din lov! det er min meditasjon hele dagen”
De ville ikke drepe, but let others live (inkludert babyer). De ville ikke lenger lyve, men tal sannheten og forkynn Jesu Kristi evangelium og skamm deg ikke. And they would be satisfied and no longer covet the possessions of their neighbors.
But the people don’t do that.
Joshua and David belonged to the generation of the old creation (fallen man) and not the new man, who has been restored and made whole in Christ. Derfor, let’s look at what is written in the New Testament about meditation.
meditation in the New Testament
Men før alle disse, de skal legge hendene på deg, og forfølge deg, leverer deg opp til synagogene, og inn i fengsler, blir ført fram for konger og herskere for mitt navns skyld. Og det skal vende seg til deg til et vitnesbyrd. Sett det derfor i deres hjerter, ikke å meditere før det dere skal svare: For jeg vil gi deg munn og visdom, som alle dine motstandere ikke skal være i stand til å motsette seg eller motstå (Luke 21:12-15)
sa Jesus til disiplene sine, that if the people persecuted them, put them into prison, and brought them before kings and rulers, they wouldn’t have to meditate before what they would answer, siden Jesus ville gi dem munn og visdom.
Ordet "meditasjon".’ forholdt seg ikke til østlig meditasjon, which is practiced today
Til jeg kommer, gi oppmøte til lesing, til formaning, til doktrine. Forsøm ikke gaven som er i deg, som ble gitt deg ved profeti, med håndspåleggelse av presteskapet. Meditere på disse tingene; gi deg selv helt til dem; for at din vinning må vises for alle. Ta vare på deg selv, og til læren; fortsette i dem: for ved å gjøre dette skal du både frelse deg selv, og de som hører deg (1 Timothy 4:13-16)
Paul commanded Timothy to stay faithful to the sound gospel of Jesus Christ. He urged Timothy to give attendance to reading, formaning, and doctrine. Paul commanded Timothy to take heed to himself and meditate on all that was taught and give himself to it.
En gang til, the word ‘meditate’ didn’t refer to the Eastern practice of meditation. This meditation had nothing to do with the natural well-being and consciousness of people, but the will of Jesus and the will of the Father and keeping the gospel of Jesus sound.
“For dette er Guds vilje, til og med din helliggjørelse”
Fordi alt dreier seg om Guds vilje. I Det gamle testamente, it was all about following the Law of God that represented the will of God. De Law of Moses was a teacher for God’s people that set them apart from the pagan nations and warned them and protected and kept them from the pagan knowledge, visdom, Religion, filosofier, praksis, og ritualer. Fordi Gud ønsket et hellig folk, who separated themselves from the pagan nations who were evil and served the devil.
God wanted His people to be devoted to Him and know Tankene hans and His will.
God wanted His people to walk in His will and His ways and please Him, instead of committing the same abominations as the evil pagan nations practiced, som ikke kjente Gud, men tjente andre guder (djevelen og demonene).
Og i den nye pakt, it’s about faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him (lay down the sinful flesh of the gammel mann og ta på den nye mannen, som er fornyet i kunnskap etter bildet av ham som skapte ham. (Kolosserne 3:10)).
Det betyr atskillelse fra verden (verdenssystem). Following the Word of God, and walking after the Spirit in the will of God.
The law of God is written in the mind and upon the heart of the new man (ny skapelse), through the baptism with the Holy Spirit And because the law is written in the mind and upon the heart of the new man, the new man walks after the will of God and pleases God.
This shall cause conflicts and persecution in the world. Since the new man no longer belongs to the world, men til himmelriket.
Meditation in the Bible referred to the will of God
If you have become a new creation, you want to please God. And if you please God, you displease the world and bear the consequences of your new life in Christ. If you are not able to bear the consequences of your new life in Christ, and want to please the world, da vil du mishage Gud.
Meditasjonen i Bibelen refererte til kunnskapen om Guds vilje, through His words in the Bible. It refers to doing the will of God and meant to please God instead of man.
How do you search for your inner self?
I meditasjon, fokus er på "selv". You are the center. If you meditate to search for your inner ‘self’ and to experience peace and rest or you search for a mystical experience with God or a spiritual deepening, da har du ikke funnet sannheten Jesus Kristus ennå, og du er ikke født på ny.
Because, through regeneration, den gamle mannens kjøtt, inkludert 'selv' er korsfestet i Kristus. Derfor, how can you search for your inner self? How can you make a connection with your inner ‘self’ if your ‘self’ has died in Christ and no longer lives?
Er meditasjon det samme som bønn?
Er meditasjon det samme som bønn? Nei, meditasjon er ikke det samme som bønn. Og det er på tide, that people, who say they are Christians and claim to be born again and know God, stop with all this junk, repent of their sinful practices, and become aware of the spiritual danger of meditation.
Meditation focuses on ‘self’. It focuses on the enrichment of ‘self’, the improvement of your ‘self’, and the redemption of ‘self’, with the ultimate goal of reaching the state of enlightenment; nirvana
Meditation is part of the eight-fold path in Buddhism and focuses on the ‘self’. All the techniques and methods are for self-redemption. I stedet for å gjøre en person mer fredelig og kjærlig, det gjør en person mer egoistisk.
Prayer focus not on ‘self’. But prayer focuses on Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. You are reconciled with God the Father and have access to the Father, through Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him. Derfor, you may pray directly to the Father. For et privilegium!
You don’t have to follow all kinds of prayer techniques and methods to get there. Because through regeneration in Christ, du er allerede der.
Why the devil wants Christians to stop praying and start meditating?
Prayer is communion with the Father through Jesus Christ. Prayer is a spiritual weapon in the spiritual war. Besides the Word, prayer is extremely important in the spiritual battle between the Kingdom of God and the darkness.
The devil knows the importance of prayer. Therefore he has one goal and that is to make fervent prayers lukewarm and eliminate them. The devil seduces everyone in the flesh (sjel og kropp) because that is his territory.
As long as Christians stay carnal and walk after the flesh, their carnal mind will not discern the spirits, and not see the danger of meditation and fall into his trap. They shall believe his lies, submit to him, and pray less, or even stop praying and forsake prayer meetings. And because many don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, they start meditating.
Meditasjon er ikke under angrep, men fremmes.
En gang til, folk ønsker ikke å bøye seg og knele i kirken for å be til Gud. But for Christian meditation, they are eager to roll out their mat and bow down and take their position and focus on ‘self’ and use Christian mantras (kristne ord, som Gud, Jesus, Maranatha, etc.) å slappe av og oppleve hyggelige følelser, which they think originate from God, mens det er i virkeligheten, disse følelsene kommer fra denne verdens gud; djevelen.
Many Christians are misled and tempted by the new age spirit that revolves around ‘self’
Jesu Kristi kirke er et rot, due to the spiritual havoc the ny tids ånd forårsaket. Mange kirker har forkastet Den Hellige Ånd, det levende ord; Jesus Kristus, Guds Sønn, and even God the Father. The people have replaced the place of God in the church.
The focus is no longer on Jesus Christ and doing His will (the will of the Father) and pleasing Jesus Christ and the Father. But the focus is on ‘self’ and supernatural experiences, følelser, tegn, and wonders and pleasing ‘self’.
Most Christians love their carnal lives. They want to keep their lives and are not willing to lay down their own lives in Christ.
På grunn av det, they use all kinds of carnal techniques, metoder, and natural means to tap into the spiritual realm and experience supernatural manifestations, følelser, og følelser i kjødet deres.
By applying occult techniques and methods, they try to become one with God and feel Him. Instead of taking the Bible and getting to know the will of God and submit to Him and do His will in their lives.
Because of this behavior, many Christians are led astray. Many Christians move into the occult and allow evil spirits to inspire them. They communicate with these wicked spirits of darkness that pretend to be Jesus, den hellige ånd, and even God the Father.
De tror de er åndelige og behager Gud, mens det er i virkeligheten, den eneste guden de behager er djevelen.
What are the signs of Christians moving into the occult?
How do you know when Christians move in the occult? Some visible signs that Christians move into the occult are tiredness, insomnia, mental disorders, sinne, and especially sexual uncleanness.
As the Church of Jesus Christ, you should stay within the framework of the Bible and reject every strange doctrine or heresy, that originates from carnal wisdom, kunnskap, opinion, funn, følelser, og opplevelser, som avviker fra Guds Ord.
Kirken bør prøve åndene
Kjære, tro ikke hver ånd, men prøv åndene om de er av Gud: fordi mange falske profeter er gått ut i verden (1 John 4:1)
Ordet sier, at vi må prøve åndene om de er av Gud. Many people possess a spirit that pretends to be Jesus or the Holy Spirit, while in reality is an evil spirit that belongs to the kingdom of darkness. This evil spirit lies and keeps the person in bondage and ensures the person stays carnal, keeps doing the works of the flesh, and perseveres in sin.
Og så mange kirker tillater ånder, som aksepterer og fremmer synd, deny God the Creator of heaven and earth, and adopt pagan religions, filosofier, ritualer, techniques, og metoder og fører de troende på villspor og gjør dem lunkne og passive for Gud og hans rike.
The Church should preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ again
Men det er på tide med Jesu Kristi sanne evangelium, korset, Blodet hans, anger, and sanctification will be preached again.
It’s time that the flesh of the old man dies. That the spirit of the new man rises from the dead and puts off the works of the old man. Så det, a real revival takes place and the Church becomes awake and alive
It’s time that believers take their Bible. Fill and renew their minds with the Word of God. So that they get to know the will of God, leve etter Guds vilje, and be witnesses of Jesus Christ on earth. Instead of emptying their minds, turn off their minds through meditation and become a channel of evil spirits.
It’s time that Christians wake up and see the spiritual danger of meditation and remove the practice of meditation from their lives.
Det er på tide å konfrontere de ugudelige, synderne, with their evil works and make the danger of meditation and other occult practices known to them and call them to repentance. Instead of compromising and condone their sins and joining them and glorifying the devil and the unclean spirits of the kingdom of darkness.
Therefore repent of your sins. Remove these occult practices of new age and Eastern religions from your life. Be redeemed through Christ and become a new creation in Christ and enter His rest (Hebrews 4).
Read and study the Bible. Renew your mind with the words of God. Så det, you get to know Jesus and the Father and their will and serve God. Instead of listening to the voice of your carnal will, følelser, følelser, lyster, and desires. And through your flesh serve the devil and the poor worldly spirit and live in bondage in darkness.
Is meditation a sin?
You can meditate on religious words, parts of the Scriptures, Gud, Jesus, eller Den Hellige Ånd. But that doesn’t make any difference to the heathen practice of meditation, which you practice, and your participation in the spiritual realm with evil spirits.
You can think what you want and make yourself believe that there is no danger of meditation. You can manipulate your thoughts and feelings, but that doesn’t change the truth and the danger of meditation or make the practice of meditation right.
Is meditation a sin? Meditation is a pagan method that derives from Hinduism, which is an abomination to God. It shall always remain an abomination to God. Therefore meditation is a sin, despite the opinions of people.
Leter du etter hvile og fred?
Som for meg, alle dere som strever og bærer tunge byrder, og jeg vil gi deg hvile. Ta mitt åk på deg, og lære av meg; for jeg er saktmodig og ydmyk av hjertet: og dere skal finne hvile for deres sjeler. For mitt åk er lett, og min byrde er lett (Matthew 11:28-30)
Meditation doesn’t give you and everlasting rest and peace. Meditation is not the way to redemption. It is not the way to salvation. Det er bare én person, who can give you everlasting rest and peace and save you and that is Jesus Christ, den levende Guds sønn!
Jesus Christ took all your sins and iniquities upon Him and died on the cross and entered Hades (hell). After three days, Jesus rose from the dead as Victor with the keys of hell and death.
Jesus gave everyone the opportunity to be redeemed from the sinful nature of the old man (fallen man) and become a new man through faith and regeneration in Him and be reconciled with God. (Les også: Hva er den sanne betydningen av korset?)
How to repent of meditation?
If are a Christian and you were not aware of the danger of meditation and practiced meditation and you experience demonic influences in your life (personal life, marriage, family life), then all you have to do is ask forgiveness and repent of your sins and renounce your sins and command every evil spirit to leave your life in the Name of Jesus.
If you are not Christian, but you believe that Jesus died on the cross for you and is risen from the death and brought salvation, so that you could be delivered from the power of the devil and darkness, then all you have to do is turn to Christ and ask Him to come into your life. Repent of your sins and your old life as a sinner and become born again in Christ through the death of the flesh and the resurrection of your spirit from the dead (baptism) and be reconciled with God by the blood of Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit.
How can you experience the peace of God in your life?
I you are a born-again Christians, then you don’t have to look for peace. You don’t have to apply all kinds of carnal techniques, metoder, and use natural means to get what you want, as in pagan religions and philosophies. Fordi ved tro og gjenfødelse i Jesus Kristus og ved hans blod, du er allerede der (den gjenopprettede posisjonen i Kristus).
If you are born again you have the peace of God, som overgår all forstand, inside of you. Because the Kingdom of God, som er i deg, er rettferdighet, fred, and joy through the Holy Ghost.
Hvis du ikke har fred i livet ditt, you haven’t found the Truth yet. Hvis du ikke har funnet sannheten, det er på tide å søke etter sannheten (Les også: Hvis du har funnet sannheten, hvorfor søker du fortsatt?).
