So if you aren't a witch anymore why post in witchcraft tags?

Because my post had mentions of witchcraft, it was a large part of my testimony. That’s the only reason! It was just related to the post I made. I wouldn’t do it for all posts, only ones that have mentions of witchcraft.

My testimony: From new age to new life

I grew up Christian, going to church—sometimes inconsistently, but I still attended. My parents are believers, and most of my family is as well. I used to call myself a Christian simply because I believed God was real and that Jesus walked this earth.

From ages 13 to 20, I went to church pretty regularly and was even on the worship team. Honestly, I originally started going because I had a crush on the youth pastor at the time—not a good reason, I know, but it kept me coming weekly. Church should be for God, not for gazing..

At 20, I left that church. It no longer felt like “home” to me, and I felt like I had outgrown it. I visited a few churches after that but never really stuck with any.

In 2020, when I was 21, a long-time friend of mine—who I’m still close with—was into crystals, tarot, and other forms of witchcraft. I got curious. It seemed fun, new, and exciting. I thought, “It’s just rocks and cards, nothing bad can come from that.” So I bought some crystals, a tarot deck, and even a pendulum to “connect with spirits”—mostly because I wanted to connect with my Nana who had passed.

I would like to take this moment to mention, when you communicate with “the dead” it isn’t the dead. You’re communicating with evil spirits and demons who are pretending to be the person you’re seeking. The devil knows your deepest desires as well and he knows how to get you.

I poured a lot of energy into those things, hoping for a connection, because I’d never really felt a strong one with God. Maybe it was because I wasn’t focused on the right things. I cared more about appearing Christian while still trying to be “cool.” I hadn’t truly given my life to God.

I didn’t realize that until April 8th, 2025—the day I returned to Jesus.

In 2024, that same friend and I visited her mom’s house. Her mom is a Christian and knew we were into witchcraft. She brought us to church with her, and I remember feeling like judgment was falling on me. I was so uncomfortable, antsy, very out of place, I wanted to run out... but I stayed.

At the end of service, we were called up for prayer. My friend came with me. They brought us into a room and wanted us to get baptized. But you can lead a horse to water… I didn’t get baptized. I said I repented, but it wasn’t on a soul level. I was ashamed and felt pressured. My heart wasn’t in it. I wasn’t ready to fully give my life back to God.

That friend kept going to church, and she’d talk to me about God. I’d listen, and I’d go with her sometimes, I wasn’t sober when I would go. I would smoke weed before hand, I think to try and ‘ease the discomfort’—but just as a “hangout” activity. I’d even joke, “Do it for the bit!” Again… not for the right reasons.

One thing I look back on now that just blows my mind — is that while I was still deep into witchcraft and honestly had a really strong dislike for anything “Christian,” I had a dream where I was just standing there with Jesus. Nothing crazy was happening. We were just together. But I felt this overwhelming love, like “Oh my gosh, I love Him so much and I don’t even know why.” I didn’t ask for that dream. I wasn’t looking for Him. I was doing tarot, crystals, pendulums — like, I was way out there. And I still hated hearing about God. Worship music annoyed me, Christians annoyed me… I honestly thought it was all so cringey. So when I had that dream, I just brushed it off. I told myself it was random, not important. But now I realize… that was Jesus. That was Him meeting me right where I was, even when I was facing the wrong direction. He was planting seeds in my heart even when I didn’t want Him to. And that’s what wrecks me now — because His love didn’t wait for me to be “ready.” He loved me anyway. And He never stopped.

I continued practicing witchcraft until April 8th, 2025.

That day, while working, I had a podcast playing. It was about a woman from India who called herself a psychic. She talked about reincarnation, crystals, tarot, past lives—lots of new age and witchcraft stuff. I agreed with a lot of what she was saying. It felt like “confirmation” for what I believed at the time.

But then she started talking about psychic attacks—dark entities that would appear to her, some frightening and not friendly. It scared me. That night, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I laid in bed full of fear, wondering if I’d opened a door I couldn’t close.

I was scared to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night terrified of what I might see. I didn’t feel protected.

So I did what I always do when I’m scared: I prayed.

And while praying, I realized… How long has it been since I’ve prayed not from a place of fear? I still don’t know the answer. Maybe years. I felt this deep grief—grief for God. Grief for the relationship I never actually had with Him. The one I tried to appear to others as having

At that moment, I decided I didn’t want to live in fear anymore. I didn’t want my eternity to be a question mark. I used to think just believing in God meant heaven, but now I understand—it’s not just about believing. It’s about loving Him, pursuing Him, living a life worthy of Him. A life He would be proud of.

The next day, I went on Pinterest. I’m a very visual person, and I searched for things like “Bible study aesthetic,” “Holy girl aesthetic,” and “Christian aesthetic.” I wanted to see the kind of life I wanted to be a part of. And maybe that seems silly, but it was honestly the best thing I could’ve done.

The peace and joy I saw in those images—the pretty Bibles, people worshiping together—I wanted that. I created a board, saved verses, tips on how to start reading the Bible, and learned that Bible reading isn’t just for show—it’s essential to your faith.

I prayed that my motivation wouldn’t fade. I prayed for the strength to keep seeking God.

I started watching testimonies on YouTube and realized… I’m not alone. So many people have stories like mine. It made me feel less ashamed for walking away, because God never stops loving us—even when we leave. When we return, He welcomes us with open arms. He will leave the 99, and you are chosen by him. Every single one of you.

I bought a Bible I loved, started attending a church that I fell in love with, and started filling my life with worship music, Christian YouTubers, podcasts, and as much of Jesus as I could.

I am SO excited to keep growing in Him, spreading His word and love, and living a life filled with purpose, truth, and freedom.

Such a love will be full of respect and care which doesn't depend upon any circumstance..who will love you no matter what..

What a man he shall be...

To have a man who has pure love towards you not who loves you based on your success, physical appearance, property or with lustful desires is a great blessing.

And yes God gives to those who wait upon Him..there is a man whom God has kept for you dear girls.. don't be hasty or anxious by seeing the men around you, keep waiting in purity, when time comes God will make you meet the person.

There's a great reward for you girls who are waiting for God will not disappoint you.

Matthew 24

I have had this chapter on my mind all morning. I'd like to share it with you all. I had a dream about it, woke up with it on my mind, and haven't stopped thinking about it since.

1Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2“Do you see all these things?”he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

4Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.5For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.8All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,13but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.17Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house.18Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.23At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.24For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.25See, I have told you ahead of time.

26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

“ ‘the sun will be darkened,

and the moon will not give its light;

the stars will fall from the sky,

and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.34Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

The Day and Hour Unknown

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?46It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.48But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’49and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
