Dear New Age to New Heart:
Praise God! He is really using you to bring me closer to Him!
Just a few months ago I and my two young kids and husband were watching the Twilight Zone and Marvel, our Roman Catholic decor and Disney and fairy storybooks around us.
Then God had me “stumble” upon your YouTube channel and I was hooked!
Fast forward to now, and I am all about watching you ladies and Good Fight Ministries, who you introduced me to. Wow, there’s so much I didn’t know. The church tells us things like this: The Lord of the Rings and Narnia are stories that glorify God, Marvel is written by a Christian, rock musicians are gifted by God, etc.
My former church even showed Encanto to my kids at a youth event, had trunk or treat…..and on and on.
Thanks to
😄
(my son wanted to send you that Emoji just now)
your teachings on how these things are against our Lord, a bunch of pagan stuff, a Buddha candle, yoga mat and Harry Potter dvd among them, have left the house in big black trash bags. I can no longer find a thing to watch on Netflix or Disney Plus. This is the kids’ first year without Halloween (and they survived!)
I am facing criticism for being “fundamentalist,” and “legalistic,” and have in many ways never felt more alone. But I have something better: I have never felt more the joy of the Lord!
I have been rejected by the church and my family in many ways, and now since throwing out Marvel and Co., there is even more distance between my husband (who is deconstructing) and myself.
I, too, have seen demons as you all have, and God has used the experiences to pull me closer (I was running, actually!) to Himself. I am not as afraid of them as I once was. Our Father is in charge! However others don’t believe me or dislike me even more when I talk of these experiences. When you talk about these experiences on your channel, you help others to know we are not alone and we are not crazy.
I know I will be ok because I have Jesus who is everything we need. I also feel a kindred spirit (oops, is that wrong to say? Let’s see: I feel a camaraderie?) with you ladies which helps so much. I cried, Jen, when I heard you tell what you’ve been through, and it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one.
Thank you for all you are doing. Thank you for suffering for Christ. Thank you for facing criticism in order to bring truth to all of us. It has made a massive difference in my life (and thus is helping my kids!) and I am letting everyone I can know about your ministry. Many people are not even willing to listen, but a few are, and I will keep trying to let others know about you.
With the Lord’s help, I’m not going to watch the shows I used to (and now they just make me so sad), and I just can’t stop learning about our Lord!
His light shines through you Doreen, Jen and Jac!
Love,
