hey guys Steve here some of you may know
00:02
me as being the creator of the Facebook
00:04
page and website called spirit science
00:06
and metaphysics and some of you may know
00:09
me as being an admin and author on the
00:12
spirit science Facebook page and website
00:13
if you've been following me on social
00:15
media recently you'll know that I've
00:18
completely renounced the new-age I'm no
00:20
longer writing new-age articles and I'm
00:22
actually a born-again Christian now so I
00:23
just want to share with you you know my
00:25
story my testimony basically what
00:27
happened so I was actually born and
00:30
raised in a Christian household I grew
00:32
up going to church pretty regularly but
00:34
I never considered myself to be a
00:36
Christian it was just something that I
00:37
was exposed to and familiar with but it
00:40
was never something that was in active
00:42
reality in my life my journey down the
00:45
rabbit hole really started when I was in
00:47
high school when I first saw an episode
00:49
of ancient aliens on the History Channel
00:50
and for those of you who don't know what
00:52
that is it's a television show that
00:54
presents all the evidence that ancient
00:56
man was visited in the past by
00:58
extraterrestrials who they thought were
01:00
you know God descending down from the
01:02
sky
01:02
so this completely blew my mind and
01:05
called into question you know the
01:07
biblical worldview that I had been
01:09
raised with so I started to research
01:10
aliens obsessively and I bought the
01:13
first three seasons of ancient aliens in
01:15
Washington through like front to back
01:16
over and over and over again I also
01:18
started researching things like
01:19
channeling astral projection hidden
01:22
knowledge spiritual science mysticism
01:24
and all this stuff and what started off
01:26
a study turned into practice and I
01:28
started practicing things like tarot
01:30
card reading meditation lucid dreaming
01:33
astral projection and during this time I
01:37
was also in school studying to be a
01:40
philosophy major and so when you're
01:42
having you know out of body experiences
01:44
and in school studying philosophy the
01:46
idea of Christianity just seems naive
01:49
and childish and I used to look down on
01:51
Christians as being you know thoughtless
01:53
and intellectually inferior I guess but
01:56
the problem was in my studies I would
01:58
see near-death experiences people giving
02:00
testimonies of having seen Jesus in
02:03
heaven in the afterlife or having seen
02:04
hell and then Jesus pulled them up out
02:06
of hell and whenever they would tell her
02:08
story they would be in tears they'd be
02:10
crying and I would cry I would be moved
02:12
from their testimony
02:13
so I was you know really into the New
02:15
Age and I'm really into philosophy but
02:18
at the same time in the back of my mind
02:19
I was like okay there's something unique
02:21
and different and special and pure and
02:24
holy about Jesus and I couldn't put my
02:26
finger on it and I couldn't reconcile it
02:28
with what I was researching and
02:30
experiencing in the New Age so I just
02:32
basically kind of put it on the back
02:33
shelf but I always knew there was
02:34
something different to the person of
02:36
Jesus and then after about four to five
02:40
years of research I started a Facebook
02:42
page in November of 2012 called spirit
02:45
science and metaphysics it blew up
02:47
pretty quick I started to connect with
02:48
other admins from other Facebook pages
02:50
we would share each other stuff before
02:51
long you're up at you know two hundred
02:53
fifty thousand likes and around this
02:55
time Jordan from the spirit science
02:57
youtube series reached out to me said
03:00
that he liked my research and my page
03:01
and that he wanted to connect so we you
03:03
know had a work partnership for a while
03:05
and we also had a friendship he was you
03:07
know one of my best friends online and
03:08
in January of 2014 I launched my website
03:11
spirit science metaphysics calm which
03:14
some of you may be familiar with and
03:16
because of all the Facebook pages I had
03:19
connections to my website was a huge
03:21
success I was getting about 150,000 to
03:25
250,000 website views a day and I had
03:28
articles that were you know just going
03:29
viral
03:30
so I was basically making a killing for
03:32
myself off of ad revenue and so being 22
03:36
years old I went out and bought myself a
03:38
sports car and you know greed and
03:41
materialism had a really big hold on my
03:42
life I was obsessed with making money to
03:45
be honest I thought that this was God
03:47
rewarding me for serving humanity I felt
03:50
like by teaching New Age doctrine I was
03:53
actually helping humanity awaken and and
03:55
raise it consciousness and so I was
03:57
writing articles from my own site and
03:59
for a while I was also writing articles
04:01
for the spirit science web site which
04:03
some of you may know me from and during
04:05
this whole time too I was still trying
04:07
to figure out God trying to understand
04:09
Jesus trying to understand you know
04:10
where Jesus fit into the puzzle and
04:13
where God fit into the puzzle and I used
04:15
to believe that God was basically the
04:18
energy of the universe I used to think
04:20
that to have a relationship with God
04:22
meant to have a relationship with your
04:24
inner self and that all you had to do to
04:26
have a personal issue
04:27
with God is to just meditate and tap
04:30
into that inner stillness that inner
04:31
silence because God as I thought of him
04:35
was the I am present the core identity
04:37
of all things and so sin played no role
04:41
in separating us from God and I was
04:43
actually watching you know hundreds of
04:46
hours worth of debates between Christian
04:48
philosophers and atheists because I
04:51
wanted to know the best philosophical
04:52
argument for the existence of God but I
04:54
thought of God as being an impersonal
04:57
force in the universe kind of like the
04:58
Hindus do and this is the way I
05:01
understood God and I understood Jesus in
05:03
this way too as being someone who was
05:04
self-realized who realized his unity
05:07
with the divine and that he was calling
05:09
us to do the same so I thought Jesus was
05:11
you know someone who ascended to his own
05:13
inner God nature and in the summer of
05:16
2015 I decided to buy my first house and
05:20
here's a picture of it here and this
05:23
isn't to brag about my former life or
05:24
something that's not what this is about
05:26
to be honest I'm ashamed of my former
05:28
life this is more so just to share how
05:30
much greed and materialism and the
05:33
pursuit of money how to hold on me and
05:35
so on the outside I was living the dream
05:37
I had the house I wanted the car I
05:39
wanted all the money I wanted I had a
05:41
successful website online I was working
05:44
from home all of these things but I felt
05:46
unfulfilled inside and I couldn't
05:49
understand how I had all this spiritual
05:51
experience and all this you know
05:52
spiritual knowledge but on the inside I
05:55
was still unfulfilled and the reached a
05:59
point where I had to face all of my
06:02
traumas and all the skeletons in my
06:04
closet at the exact same time just
06:07
things started blowing up in my face and
06:09
having always known there was something
06:11
a little bit different about Jesus I
06:12
started to warm up to him as as an idea
06:16
I didn't become a Christian it wasn't
06:18
anything like that but I just started to
06:20
explore more open-mindedly the things
06:23
pertaining to Jesus and so I began to
06:26
read the Gospels a little bit and during
06:27
this time I was still writing New Age
06:29
articles I was still making lots of
06:30
money and I still felt lost inside and
06:34
they reached a point where I felt that I
06:36
had to just be broken before him
06:40
so one night I went outside onto my back
06:43
balcony of my stupid house and I just
06:47
basically fell on my face before him and
06:49
was weeping like a baby basically
06:52
reaching out to him and when I did this
06:55
I felt the atmosphere around me start to
06:58
change and I could feel in the air that
07:03
there was something holy and pure around
07:09
me and it was all so personal and I knew
07:16
in that moment that I was in the
07:21
presence of of Jesus and the quality of
07:29
everything around me changed uhm the
07:32
wind felt like it was infused with his
07:37
presence and when it hit me
07:38
it would hit me um it just completely
07:47
broke me um and I felt like he was
07:54
showing me himself and showing me who he
07:56
is and where he stands in relation to to
08:01
me and and to life and I was just
08:05
getting so many downloads about oh my
08:07
gosh this is so simple Jesus is the Lord
08:09
Jesus is the Son of God it's not some
08:12
complex mystical thing and when I was in
08:15
this presence I was like oh my gosh this
08:17
is it and this might sound weird but
08:21
what stuck out for me what I what I
08:25
really needed to to see and to feel was
08:29
um how how it sounded like the crickets
08:40
and the leaves on the trees and the
08:45
sounds that were outside in nature they
08:49
were all
08:55
pointing towards him they were all
08:57
glorifying him and I was witnessing it
09:11
and and after that experience hiya I
09:17
went back inside and I started to think
09:22
about all the the New Age stuff I'd been
09:24
involved with and just having lightbulbs
09:29
go off in my head like oh my gosh that's
09:31
what that is that's a deception that's a
09:32
little high and I never wrote another
09:36
New Age article from that day forward
09:40
in fact drinking stopped smoking stopped
09:43
pornography stopped sex stopped and
09:46
addictions were just falling off like
09:48
immediately right after one experience
09:50
and for the first time in my life I had
09:53
a conviction to live righteously and to
09:57
live a holy life before God and when I
10:00
was in the New Age you know the topic of
10:02
sin doesn't even come up it people don't
10:04
have a concept of sin and I had a
10:07
conviction of sin immediately after that
10:08
experience a day or two later I phoned
10:12
Jordan and I was like man I can't write
10:15
for your website anymore I basically
10:17
just cut all of my work ties stopped
10:20
writing New Age occult articles and I
10:23
deleted all the ones on my site that
10:25
were affiliated with the New Age I threw
10:28
all the idols out of my house I burned
10:30
all of my occult in New Age books and I
10:33
started to do a lot of heavy research
10:34
into topics that I previously thought
10:36
were safe like astral projection
10:38
channeling aliens and I started to see
10:42
them through this new spiritual Lent
10:43
that I had I felt like something had
10:45
been awakened within me and I was like
10:47
looking at all this stuff I mean like
10:48
wow this is a bunch of crap and because
10:52
I wasn't writing any new-age articles
10:53
anymore my income got cut by 97% so I
10:57
had to sell my house I had to sell my
10:59
car and I was glad to and about a week
11:02
after I had this experience I
11:06
was laying in bed trying to go to sleep
11:07
one night and I could feel in like the
11:11
background of my spirit I had never felt
11:14
that dimension to my being ever even in
11:16
meditation I could feel that there was a
11:18
personal presence there where there once
11:21
used to be nothing it used to just be a
11:23
void and now I could feel this thing
11:27
inside of me that I had never felt
11:30
before and it was prompting me to read
11:32
the Bible it was turning me away from
11:35
sin it was encouraging me to live
11:37
righteously and I could feel it and it
11:40
was personal and objective and it was
11:42
inside of my spirit and I later found
11:45
out through you know reading scriptures
11:47
that this is called the inner witness of
11:49
the Holy Spirit and that it bears
11:51
witness with our spirit and testifies to
11:53
us the truth about Jesus Christ and so
11:55
forth and this for me was the icing on
11:58
the cake I mean I had felt Jesus like a
12:00
week before this and now I was feeling
12:03
him 24/7 inside of my spirit and I
12:06
remember feeling the Holy Spirit in me
12:08
trying to fall asleep and thinking to
12:10
myself like wow most people don't even
12:12
know this is possible that there is a
12:14
spiritual way that we can know firsthand
12:17
that Jesus Christ is the son of God and
12:20
this this presence that was in me it
12:23
authenticated and verified to me the
12:27
truth about Jesus just by its very
12:28
nature and so for the last few months
12:30
I've been getting my feet under me and
12:32
and studying Scripture and I got
12:34
baptized about three weeks ago and I
12:37
actually have a new website - it's
12:39
called exposing the new age com there's
12:41
a link to in the description down below
12:42
and on that website and on this YouTube
12:45
channel we're going to be going through
12:47
basically every single New Age deception
12:50
that's out there there's a lot of
12:51
disinformation out there that's not only
12:53
false but also dangerous
12:55
and demonic so we're going to take a
12:57
look at that stuff here analyst channel
13:00
we're also going to do things look at
13:02
the evidence for the divinity of Jesus
13:03
the historical evidence for the
13:05
resurrection answer questions like who
13:08
wrote the Bible what reasons do we have
13:11
to think heaven or hell exists and stuff
13:12
like this
13:13
and so stay tuned for that and I just
13:16
want to leave you guys with one last
13:18
thing
13:19
and I want you guys to know that God is
13:24
not in energy blob God is not some kind
13:28
of impersonal force God is not piranha
13:31
or you know some kind of void God is a
13:35
personal being who loves you and sees
13:39
you and has a purpose for you and has a
13:41
will for you and it's his promise to you
13:44
that if you seek Him diligently and
13:47
sincerely that he will reveal himself to
13:50
you
13:54
and so thanks for watching I hope you
13:56
guys stay open-minded and stick around
13:57
I'll see you guys soon take care
