    Let's have natural talk about Ciara's supernatural walk! Reach out to Ciara if you have questions about her testimony or want to learn more. TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@reconstructing_ciara -- Follow Martyria! TikTok: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?even... Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martyriamedia/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.phph... -- End song "The Practice of Presence" by We Dream of Eden. https://www.wedreamofeden.com/ -- Ciara grew up in a Christian home, then spent about six years in astrology, manifestation, and tarot before returning to faith a little over a month before this recording. She talks with the host about how TikTok during COVID pulled her in, what the practices promised, and the fear that came with them. Listen for an account of leaving the occult, and for her advice on how churches should welcome newcomers from that world. The way in: Ciara had never used TikTok until COVID. She went from zodiac signs to birth charts and daily transits, and began questioning the Bible because astrology seemed to fit "to a T."Living by transits: She blamed a car accident and other troubles on a Saturn retrograde. She also skipped travel on days with certain transits, which she now calls "so silly."Manifestation and scripting: She wrote desired outcomes over and over. Her first "evidence" was her stepson coming to live with the family. Other results were a job she wanted (which turned out awful), a new car, and a job change for her husband.The gateway idea: She calls astrology the gateway. Manifestation leads to wanting more control, and that leads to tarot and the start of witchcraft.Fear and darkness: She felt anxiety throughout. In the last months she sensed a presence behind her while pulling cards. She dismantled her altar and began winding down before any interest in Christianity returned.Her return: After she re-downloaded Spotify and found worship songs she first deleted, she felt the Holy Spirit in the middle of the night. She says she has felt no fear since.Loss along the way: She left a job she loved as a domestic violence advocate and lost her best friend of almost 11 years. She believes these ties had been blocking her.Her mother's perception: Her mom knew she had stepped away but not about the tarot or witchcraft, and later said she had felt darkness in Ciara's home.Welcoming newcomers: Ciara urges churches to meet people where they are and lead with love, not a list of what they are doing wrong.

The church should be a welcoming space for those seeking healing and restoration. Everyone needs grace, regardless of their past or struggles.

It delves into childhood influences, experiences with metaphysical practices, and the eventual realization of the darkness within those practices. The speaker shares personal testimonies of healing, encounters with spirit guides, and the allure of divination, ultimately leading to a profound transformation towards faith in Jesus. In this conversation, Matthew and Ondrea explore the themes of spiritual visions, the journey through psychic services, and the radical transformation that comes from faith in Jesus. Ondrea shares her experiences with light, the distinction between true and false light, and her journey from new age practices to a deep relationship with Christ. They discuss the importance of the church's welcoming response to those seeking healing and transformation, emphasizing the power of the Holy Spirit in guiding individuals on their spiritual journeys. The difference between New Age practices and true faith in God. Childhood experiences can shape spiritual beliefs and practices. The allure of the supernatural can lead individuals deeper into darkness. Metaphysical churches often promote a distorted view of spirituality. Spirit guides can provide a false sense of comfort and protection. Divination practices like angel cards and Ouija boards are rooted in darkness. Satan can masquerade as an angel of light to deceive individuals. True healing and peace come from a relationship with Jesus. There are two types of visions: one from God and one from the devil. The Shekinah glory represents the true power of God. Satan can create a false light that deceives people. The journey to understanding God often involves distinguishing Him from other 'gods'. High places in ancient cultures were often seen as access points to God. Andrea's journey into psychic services began in her late twenties. She encountered deeper spiritual experiences that she kept private. Radical transformation can come from a place of deep pain and searching for healing.

She also explains why she left psychic mediumship, closed the door on tarot and new age practices, and returned to a Christ-centered path.
