You Cannot Mix Christianity & The New Age

Years ago, during one of the most rebellious phases of my life, I thought there was nothing wrong with mixing new age practices with Christian beliefs. I was confused about life and where my future was headed. I was hurt and angry over past trauma. I was angry at God because of negative experiences that I had had with people in the church.

I knew that I needed Jesus, but I did not want to turn to Him.

I was lost and willing to experiment with other beliefs.

Very quickly (and sadly due to seeds that had been planted in my life long before any of this even happened), astrology became a source of “guidance” in my life. Then, tarot card readings. Then, even witchcraft. At the time, I honestly believed that all these things were helping me in some way, shape or form – even protecting me. But all they were really doing was drawing me further and further away from God and putting me in danger.

When I finally stopped resisting God and looked to Jesus for the healing I needed, I still did not want to let go of the new age beliefs that I had embraced for so long.

So I kept holding on to them thinking that I could lean on both them and Jesus Christ until, one day, I had a wake-up call that God used to show me how dangerous that idea was.

You cannot mix the new age with Christianity.

1 Corinthians 10:21 (NIV) reads, “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons”.

Jesus Christ is the only way.
