|||hey guys Steve here some of you may know|||me as being the creator of the Facebook|||page and website called spirit science|||and metaphysics and some of you may know|||me as being an admin and author on the|||spirit science Facebook page and website|||if you've been following me on social|||media recently you'll know that I've|||completely renounced the new-age I'm no|||
longer writing New Age articles and I'm|||actually a born-again Christian now so I|||just want to share with you you know my|||story my testimony basically what|||happened so I was actually born and|||raised in a Christian household I grew|||up going to church pretty regularly but|||I never considered myself to be a|||Christian it was just something that I|||was exposed to and familiar with but it|||
was never something that was in active|||reality in my life my journey down the|||rabbit hole really started when I was in|||high school when I first saw an episode|||of ancient aliens on the History Channel|||and for those of you who don't know what|||that is it's a television show that|||presents all the evidence that ancient|||man was visited in the past by|||extraterrestrials who they thought were|||
you know God descending down from the|||sky|||so this completely blew my mind and|||called into question you know the|||biblical worldview that I had been|||raised with so I started to research|||aliens obsessively and I bought the|||first three seasons of ancient aliens in|||Washington through like front to back|||over and over and over again I also|||
started researching things like|||channeling astral projection hidden|||knowledge spiritual science mysticism|||and all this stuff and what started off|||a study turned into practice and I|||started practicing things like tarot|||card reading meditation lucid dreaming|||astral projection and during this time I|||was also in school studying to be a|||philosophy major and so when you're|||
having you know out-of-body experiences|||and in school studying philosophy the|||idea of Christianity just seems naive|||and childish and I used to look down on|||Christians as being you know thoughtless|||and intellectually inferior I guess but|||the problem was in my studies I would|||see near-death experiences people giving|||testimonies of having seen Jesus in|||heaven in the afterlife or having seen|||
hell and then Jesus pulled them up out|||of hell and whenever they would tell|||their story they would be in tears|||they'd be crying and I would cry I would|||be|||moved from their testimony so I was you|||know really into the New Age and I'm|||really into philosophy but at the same|||time in the back of my mind I was like|||okay there's something unique and|||
different and special and pure and holy|||about Jesus and I couldn't put my finger|||on it and I couldn't reconcile it with|||what I was researching and experiencing|||in the New Age so I just basically kind|||of put it on the back shelf but I always|||knew there was something different to|||the person of Jesus and then after about|||four to five years of research I started|||a Facebook page in November of 2012|||
called spirit science and metaphysics it|||blew up pretty quick I started to|||connect with other admins from other|||Facebook pages we would share each other|||stuff before long you're up at you know|||two hundred and fifty thousand likes and|||around this time Jordan from the spirit|||science youtube series reached out to me|||said that he liked my research and my|||page and that he wanted to connect so we|||
you know had a work partnership for a|||while and we also had a friendship he|||was you know one of my best friends|||online and in January of 2014 I launched|||my website spirit science metaphysics|||calm which some of you may be familiar|||with and because of all the Facebook|||pages I had connections to my website|||was a huge success I was getting about|||150,000 to 250,000 website views a day|||
and I had articles that were you know|||just going viral so I was basically|||making a killing for myself off of ad|||revenue and so being 22 years old I went|||out and bought myself a sports car and|||you know greed and materialism had a|||really big hold on my life I was|||obsessed with making money to be honest|||I thought that this was God rewarding me|||for serving humanity I felt like by|||
teaching New Age doctrine I was actually|||helping humanity awaken and and raise it|||consciousness and so I was writing|||articles from my own site and for a|||while I was also writing articles for|||the spirit science web site which some|||of you may know me from and during this|||whole time too I was still trying to|||figure out God trying to understand|||Jesus trying to understand you know|||
where Jesus fit into the puzzle and|||where God fit into the puzzle and I used|||to believe that God was basically the|||energy of the universe I used to think|||that to have a relationship with God|||meant to have a relationship with your|||inner self and|||that all you had to do to have a|||personal relationship with God is to|||just meditate and tap into that inner|||
stillness that inner silence because God|||as I thought of him was the I am|||presence the core identity of all things|||and so sin played no role in separating|||us from God and I was actually watching|||you know hundreds of hours worth of|||debates between Christian philosophers|||and atheists because I wanted to know|||the best philosophical arguments for the|||existence of God but I thought of God as|||
being an impersonal force in the|||universe kind of like the Hindus do and|||this is the way I understood God and I|||understood Jesus in this way too as|||being someone who was self-realized who|||realized his unity with the divine and|||then he was calling us to do the same so|||I thought Jesus was you know someone who|||ascended to his own inner God nature and|||in the summer of 2015 I decided to buy|||
my first house and here's a picture of|||it here|||and this isn't to brag about my former|||life or something that's not what this|||is about|||to be honest I'm ashamed of my former|||life this is more so just to share how|||much greed and materialism and the|||pursuit of money how to hold on me and|||so on the outside I was living the dream|||
I had the house I wanted the car I|||wanted all the money I wanted I had a|||successful website online I was working|||from home all of these things but I felt|||unfulfilled inside and I couldn't|||understand how I had all this spiritual|||experience and all this you know|||spiritual knowledge but on the inside I|||was still unfulfilled and the reached a|||point where I had to face all of my|||
traumas and all the skeletons in my|||closet at the exact same time just|||things started blowing up in my face and|||having always known there was something|||a little bit different about Jesus I|||started to warm up to him as as an idea|||oh I didn't become a Christian it wasn't|||anything like that but I just started to|||explore more open-mindedly the things|||pertaining to Jesus and so I began to|||
read the Gospels a little bit and during|||this time I was still writing New Age|||articles I was still making lots of|||money and I still felt lost inside and|||there reached a point where I felt that|||I had to just be|||broken before him so one night I went|||outside onto my back balcony of my|||stupid house and I just basically fell|||on my face before him and was weeping|||
like a baby basically reaching out to|||him and when I did this I felt the|||atmosphere around me start to change and|||I could feel in the air that there was|||something holy and pure around me and it|||was also personal and I knew in that|||moment that I was in the presence of of|||Jesus and the quality of everything|||around me changed uhm the wind felt like|||it was infused with his presence and|||
when it hit me it would hit me it just|||completely broke me um and I felt like|||he was showing me himself and showing me|||who he is and where he stands in|||relation to to me and and to life and I|||was just getting so many downloads about|||oh my gosh this is so simple Jesus is|||the Lord Jesus is the Son of God it's|||not some complex uh mystical thing and|||when I was in this presence I was like|||
oh my gosh this is it and this might|||sound weird but what stuck out for me|||what I what I really needed to to see|||and to feel was how how it sounded like|||the crickets and the leaves on the trees|||and the sounds that were outside in|||nature they were all|||pointing towards him they were all|||glorifying and I was witnessing it and|||and after that experience I I went back|||
inside and I started to think about all|||the the New Age stuff I'd been involved|||with and just having lightbulbs go off|||in my head like oh my gosh that|||today I'm creating a professional Wix|||website for my good friend and personal|||trainer|||Dara Hart just go to wix.com a video|||background gives a really cool first|||impression bold statement check and a|||
killer title to back it up this looks so|||good already|||I'm gonna add some tools to help Dara|||manage your business online like this|||booking system where clients can book|||appointments on her site 24/7 oh she|||better think with Wix chat Dara can|||answer questions anytime|||not to mention get potential new clients|||[Music]|||
oh my gosh that's what that is that's a|||deception|||little hi-yah I never wrote another New|||Age article from that day forward|||in fact drinking stopped smoking stopped|||pornography stopped sex stopped and|||addictions were just falling off like|||immediately right after one experience|||and for the first time in my life I had|||a conviction to live righteously and to|||
live a holy life before God and when I|||was in the New Age you know the topic of|||sin doesn't even come up it people don't|||have a concept of sin and I had a|||conviction of sin immediately after that|||experience a day or two later I phoned|||Jordan and I was like man I can't write|||for your website anymore I basically|||just cut all of my work ties stopped|||writing New Age occult|||
articles and I deleted all the ones on|||my site that were affiliated with the|||New Age I threw all the idols out of my|||house I burned all of my occult in New|||Age books and I started to do a lot of|||heavy research into topics that I|||previously thought were safe like astral|||projection channeling aliens and I|||started to see them through this new|||spiritual lens that I had I felt like|||
something had been awakened within me|||and I was like looking at all this stuff|||I mean like wow this is a bunch of crap|||and because I wasn't reading any new-age|||articles anymore my income got cut by|||97% so I had to sell my house I had to|||sell my car and I was glad to and about|||a week after I had this experience I was|||laying in bed trying to go to sleep one|||night and I could feel in like the|||
background of my spirit I had never felt|||that dimension to my being ever even in|||meditation I could feel that there was a|||personal presence there where there once|||used to be nothing it used to just be a|||void and now I could feel this thing|||inside of me that I had never felt|||before and it was prompting me to read|||the Bible it was turning me away from|||sin it was encouraging me to live|||
righteously and I could feel it and it|||was personal and objective and it was|||inside of my spirit and I later found|||out through|||you know reading scriptures that this is|||called the inner witness of the Holy|||Spirit and that it bears witness with|||our spirit and testifies to us the truth|||about Jesus Christ and so forth and this|||for me was the icing on the cake I mean|||
I had felt Jesus like a week before this|||and now I was feeling him 24/7 inside of|||my spirit and I remember feeling the|||Holy Spirit in me trying to fall asleep|||and thinking to myself like wow most|||people don't even know this is possible|||that there is a spiritual way that we|||can know firsthand that Jesus Christ is|||the son of God and this this presence|||that was in me it authenticated and|||
verified to me|||the truth about Jesus just by its very|||nature and so for the last few months|||I've been getting my feet under me and|||and studying Scripture and I got|||baptized about three weeks ago and I|||actually have a new website - it's|||called exposing the new age com there's|||a link to in the description down below|||and on that website and on this YouTube|||
channel we're gonna be going through|||basically every single New Age deception|||that's out there there's a lot of|||disinformation out there that's not only|||false but also dangerous and demonic so|||we're gonna take a look at that stuff|||here on this channel we're also gonna do|||things that look at the evidence for the|||divinity of Jesus the historical|||evidence for the resurrection and answer|||
questions like who wrote the Bible what|||reasons do we have to think heaven or|||how exist and stuff like this and so|||stay tuned for that and I just want to|||leave you guys with one last thing and I|||want you guys to know that God is a not|||in energy blob God is not some kind of|||impersonal force God is not piranha or|||you know some kind of void God is a|||personal being who loves you and sees|||
