Reiki healing bonus packageby Trend Authority on 19 Jun 2011 permalink
Reiki, therapeutic touch, self-hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, acupuncture and other pseudo scientific healing methods abound - welcome to the New Age!
There is intense competition for the hearts and minds of suffering folks who seek solace from their pain. If you care to travel to a third world country where medical insurance is non existent you will experience first hand the power of divine healing through the name of Jesus Christ. In the Western world though, traditional churches have done a great service of thrusting ailing folks in the arms of New Age healers with the statement that "miracles ceased with the death of the apostles who spent time with Jesus". Pastors were trained in seminaries to deny from the pulpit that any miracles could take place in our time - and so it is a miracle that new ministries such as healing rooms emerge to prove them wrong. So the battle lines are drawn - there are two camps to choose from. You can believe that there is spiritual energy out there to heal you and that whatever method to rebalance your body fluids is fine as long as you get the expected results. On the other side there are those who have committed their lives to serve the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Redeemer of mankind - and since we are body, soul and spirit, God is in the business of restoring the whole person - not just giving you a ticket to heaven. There are scores of testimonies where screws and metal plates have disappeared from X-rays and people who had a metal rod inserted along their spine can now bend forward and touch their toes - something previously physically impossible. That's the good news! The bad news is that reiki healing and other New Age methods always come with a bonus package. You always get more than you bargained for. So why is it so bad? The reason is that while you reached out to spiritual energy for healing you also open yourself to spiritual bondage from demons, sprit guides, whatever you want to call them, who will exploit the bridgehead which is taking place. Under the guise of Judeo-Christian mumbo-jumbo people from a Western background are led to try out what is vehemently prohibited in Scripture: namely getting involved in witchcraft and divination. Yes there is a spiritual world out there for the taking but if you get there apart from the atoning blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross for the remission of our sins there are some strings attached. People from a non Western background know full well the ravage caused by witch-doctors, shamans and the like. Will you be another casualty? There is excitement at trying out new things couched in pseudo-science. Will you forfeit your soul to cure a migraine or will you humble yourself before God and be reconciled to Him?
