“Obedience gives us our freedom.”
— Ellen

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this powerful and raw episode of Kingdom Talk, Malaine sits down with Ellen to unpack her journey from deep New Age involvement to radical freedom in Jesus Christ.

From Reiki and angel cards to ayahuasca ceremonies and counterfeit light, Ellen experienced firsthand the seductive pull of the New Age — and the spiritual torment it opened the door to. But when she encountered Jesus, everything changed. Deliverance came. Healing flowed. And obedience became the gateway to real peace.

This conversation exposes the dangers of spiritual deception, the clash between counterfeit and kingdom power, and the intimate love of a God who doesn’t want your rituals — He wants you.

If you’re walking out of the New Age or wondering how deep the deception goes — this one’s for you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:The New Age opens doors to spiritual bondage, not freedom

Angel cards, Reiki, and ayahuasca seem “healing” — but invite demonic influence

Obedience to God is what actually unlocks real spiritual freedom

Burning New Age items is a spiritual act of breaking ties and reclaiming territory

There’s a war between two kingdoms: the kingdom of light and counterfeit “light”

Jesus doesn’t want your performance — He wants your surrender

Feminism, control, and New Age ideology often clash with biblical truth

God desires intimacy — a real relationship, not religion

You can’t mix the world with the Word — the Holy Spirit brings the real power

BIBLE VERSES:

Deuteronomy 18:10–12 — “Do not consult mediums, diviners…”

Isaiah 47:13 — “Let your astrologers come and save you…”

John 10:10 — “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy…”

Acts 19:19 — “They burned their sorcery scrolls in public…”

James 4:7 — “Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee…”

Romans 12:2 — “Do not conform to the pattern of this world…”

1 Samuel 15:23 — “Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft…”

CALL TO ACTION:

Renounce any lingering New Age practices or items — ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what needs to go

Spend time in the Word — it is your weapon and compass

Ask the Lord for deliverance — freedom is your portion in Christ
