Should Christians Follow the Law of Attraction?
I have seen a lot of buzz over the law of Attraction over the years. I never really researched it out much and shoved it away but thought there was an element of truth to it.
So I finally got some time to do some more research on it and what I discovered was quite interesting but very disturbing as well. In fact what I discovered could easily be a good script for a horror movie.
Esther Hicks is one of the most prominent teachers of the Law of Attraction. With several books and hundreds of youtube videos. She also narrated the movie called the Secret.
Esther Hicks married a man named Jerry Hicks. A curious man that liked exploring with Ouji boards. He liked reading books by authors like Napolean Hill. Is wife Esther wasn't really on board with this stuff at first. His life really seemed to change when He picked up a book at the library called Seth Speaks by, Jane Roberts. Jane had the ability to go into a trance and have the nonphysical entity named Seth speak through her. To me that is super creepy but obviously not to Jerry Hicks.
At first Jerry was reading these books in secret because he didn't think Esther would approve but eventually as he talked about them she started to warm up to these ideas. Esther and Jerry went to their first session with someone that channels spirits and the spirit would answer questions for Esther and Jerry and that's how Esther found out what a Spirit Guide is. It is the main demonic Spirit that guides you and leads you. The demonic spirit at her session told her to use affirmations and to meditate using breathing. So she went home and meditated. After her third time of meditating, she noticed her ears were buzzing and this was her first experience with her demon spirit called Abraham.
Meditating became a daily habit for Esther and Jerry. After nine months of meditating, Esther's head began moving, then one day she realized that the movement was actually her nose writing in the air. Her nose spelled out,"I am Abraham, I am your Spiritual Guide,I love you, I am here to work with you". For 2 months, Esther spent two hours translating for Abraham thorough nose movements. You can't make this stuff up folks. Eventually, that must have been really tiring for Abraham because one night Esther's hands started thumping on Jerry's chest and she said, that's not me! She felt compelled to go to the keyboard and her fingers were powerfully driven to write, iwanttotypeiwantotype. For a whole page. It communicated for her to type every day. At this point does anyone need a script for a Horror movie, here is some good material.
The next scene of this Horror story Is when Abraham wanted to manifest more than just the written word. Jerry and Esther were driving on the highway when they came close to getting into an accident and Abraham spoke directly through Esther's mouth saying,"Take The Next Exit".
Esther Hicks's books were all inspired by the demonic spirit, Abraham. Abraham will seduce you with lovely words and promise you the pleasures of this world. Just like Satan did with Jesus. I believe the powers of Satan are real. He promised Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. He will try to make your world a pleasant and cozy place. There is only one thing you have to give up in exchange for this positive world and this is your soul. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? Mathew 16:26
In the end days there will be miracles and wonders done by evil Spirits and many people will be deceived. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts. 2 Timothy 4:3
This is the time to be on guard and not be allured by demonic spirits that seem to comfort you now but in the end, will only lead you to utter destruction.
Deuteronomy 13
Worshiping Other Gods
If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.
Christians should defiantly not worship Foreign god's, Strange fire, Demonic New Age practices. Stay away from Xenophillia, the love for foreign things.
Psalm 81:9-10
Hear me, my people, and I will warn you—
if you would only listen to me, Israel!
You shall have no foreign god among you;
you shall not worship any god other than me.
