The Only Way Out


Now this post is going to be controversial to some, maybe even unpopular. And I think I’ve already lost at least one good friend by adhering to it. But since I know it in my bones to be true, I will state it here clearly: the only way out of the occult is through the blood of Jesus Christ. There is no other powerful antidote or saving grace, no way to wiggle out or escape the torment of possession or severe oppression than through the blood of Christ. And this means a total renunciation of everything occult and a total conversion to the religion given to the world by Jesus Christ. Every breath I take, every instance of happiness ransomed from my tormentors, every grace I feel, every decent night’s sleep I get, and every sense of freedom and well-being I experience is solely due to having turned 100% to Jesus Christ. This means I had to repent of all of my sins, and especially the sin of having forsaken the Christian values of my youth for the occult values of the pagan religion I ascribed to for 35 years. I had to fight the tendency to doubt, to find Christianity too simple, to be consumed by fear, to listen to the voices telling me I was doomed forever, and I had to get down on my knees and cry out to the one true Lord and beg for mercy, grace, and redemption. And then I had to put on the armor of God, and walk in his sanctifying grace and truly believe that my soul was safe and that the spirits possessing and harassing me were living on borrowed time. I realized that instead of beating myself up and being consumed by regret, I should be grateful that I saw the light eventually. Severe scrupulosity and brutal self-chastisement are Satan’s tricks, after all.

I experienced tremendous remorse when I realized I had wasted my life worshipping these entities who I thought were Buddhas and Bodhisattvas only to be devastated when I realized it was a lie, when my guru turned out to be a sociopath and my meditational deity turned out to be a red-eyed demon. This was all shown to me clearly at the very end of my Tibetan Buddhist path. As the truth began to dawn, they became my great accusers, excoriating me for my smallest faults, and proclaiming that I had to die and be tortured for eternity because I had dared to question them. When they performed an annihilation ritual against me using an effigy and started torturing me, no matter how much I begged and pleaded, they showed no mercy. Forgiveness was not a word in their lexicon. I heard the voice of my guru night after night, and watched with horror as he appeared in my room in his astral body with a rope, a razor sharp blade, and various other horrors commanding me to end it all so he could drag me to the pit of hell. Where was the Buddha then? Where did he go? We were taught that the head of our lineage was a living Buddha who held the happiness and freedom of all sentient beings above all else. I found him to be a very petty, ugly, and vengeful man who couldn’t admit his own mistakes and took pleasure in harming others–a true sociopath.

Indeed, the only escape from such evil is by taking Jesus Christ as one’s Lord and Savior. Remember this! He has already redeemed us with his blood. It was done over two thousand years ago. Don’t believe the demons when they tell you there is no way out. I want to point out that I learned the hard way that there are only two supernatural realms: there is the kingdom of God and the realm of Satan. There is no third kingdom where Buddhas abide waiting to bless you. And there is no way out when you realize you were deceived other than crying out to your maker like a lost and frightened child.

If you don’t believe me, then go on Youtube and listen to all the first person accounts and testimonies of people who escaped from possession and oppression (I have shared some of them on the Video Clips page). They fell into these states of torment by practicing the occult in whatever form. Some people practiced yoga, some dabbled in the New Age, some read Tarot, some got deeply into Witchcraft. I believe most people are good souls who don’t seek out the occult to harm others. The New Age, Tibetan Buddhism, yoga: these occult practices are examples of Satan appearing as the angel of light. And unsuspecting people are drawn to them in order to try to exert some form of control over their otherwise chaotic lives. Let’s face it, life can be scary because so much is out of our control. This is why I got sucked into Tibetan Buddhism. It seemed to offer concrete explanations for why we suffer and definite methods for transcending it. The fact that there were methods to become free and the possibility of making order out of chaos was comforting to me. I believe this is why most people go into occult practices. I saw Tarot, astrology, Feng Shui, and certain healing modalities as tools for achieving a happier, healthier, and more ordered life. In reality, I never imagined that those “tools” were from Satan’s realm.

Sadly, many people get into the occult this way, only to find out that all of those modalities, whatever temporary benefits they offer, are ultimately portals to demons. Thank God that I was born in a Christian country and exposed to the truth as a child. I can’t imagine what happens to those poor souls who practice the occult in countries where the Word of our Lord has not spread. I pray for all who become seduced into the false promises of the occult.

This is Spiritual Warfare

From Ephesians 6:10-18 from the King James Version (KJV):

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
