Crystals: A Christian Perspective

One of the most frequent questions I have received since coming out of the New Age movement is how can we understand crystals? In this video, we look at one scientific argument and two Biblical arguments as to why crystals should be avoided in healing and therapy.

Steven, I hope you read this. I am a Reiki Practitioner involved with Crystal healing. I have oracle card and tarot cards. When I started having mirrors breaking, lights flickering, my children and myself having nightmares...I went deeper into manifesting and meditation believing I wasnt doing enough to bring about the promises of enlightenment. I have astral travelled by accident, seen things I wont share here. Saw small miracles and forever chased them.Last week I realized all my efforts had only brought me, mental fog, depression, victimization, isolation of friends and family, I seperated from my partner with whom i have 2 young children. I almost quit my job all out of desperation to do what I was being "called" to do for the betterment of those I love. This is when I had enough, I yelled at God. I thought I was serving his purpose through me and yet, I was drowning. I begged him for understanding, clarity and discernment. Four days ago, your channel popped up in my feeds. I watched the one of how New Age (never considered to be part of this) roots are in Satanism. I grew up in Church but my family left later on. I have been so lost. But I know Jesus has been standing at my hearts door knocking. I let him back in after your videos. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you from the depths of my lost soul.

I have a niece in her 20's who during a visit we got to talking about her goals n life plans, she said she believes in the power of crystals and would like to open her own store that selling crystals. We got to talking further about that, I asked her if she still believes in Jesus, she said yes. I asked her who made the crystals, she said God of course, I asked her where the crystals 'power' comes from, she pondered n then said the power has to come from God since He made the stones. So I asked her, why credit/worship the crystals/stones instead of God where the power truly lies. She was silent awhile and we moved on to other topics but weeks later I heard from her, she wanted to let me know she no longer believed in honoring the stones instead she'll honor the stone-maker. 🙏

[@EloraLiveZ]

Its true what he says, the line is drawn when you attribute a supernatural or metaphysical property to an item. Thats when it becomes witchcraft and people also do this with essential oils. I went to Israel and bough a round rock that when you cracked it open inside has crystals. Found on the top of the "mountain of Aaron". Very cool. But I don't think of it in any wonderful way, just a very cool piece of nature.

[@EloraLiveZ]

Healing is one thing but a spiritual quality is something else. Like, joy, peace, wisdom etc. I have found that some colors are relaxing, some frequencies are better than others for the body. Herbs heal amazing. I don't do modern medicine. What I am taking about is expecting a spiritual effect from a physical object like an oil blend called "abundance" to attract abundance to yourself. Or a particular stone that helps you attract a husband or a wife. Thats disgusting, misplaced affection, idolatry.

Thank you for posting this Steven! I work at a natural foods market and as a Christian am constantly surrounded by co-workers who believe in the power of crystals & rocks to heal. I have always wondered, "Why put your faith in creation rather than the Creator?" Great video! 👌👌

[@noname-nz4tf]

Bridget McCoy as a believer of crystals I personally don't put my "faith" into it. I truly believe that I already have the same properties as these crystals because we're made up of the same energy. Focusing on the energy within the crystals, is also focusing on me. Because we're the same. The more I let go and feel the energy, the more I feel like it raises that vibration. AND I have a feeling you or somebody else is going to ask why I watch his videos if I believe in that... I watch them because I like to keep an open mind. I find all this stuff very fascinating and really interesting. And there's been times in my life I felt like I believed in all of these things, including the Christian God, but no matter how many times I've repented and cried out to him, I felt nothing. No 'grace'. Very incomplete. And yes, I know you think that's the devil doing that. But at this point, I'm not quite sure what to believe but I'm still listening.

[@ondreatorrence4322]

Okay Liss I had to cry out to God for a long time and keep believing even through silence . But when he answered ...he really showed me that i am loved and that he was always there . The bible says we are to walk by faith not by sight . And I like to put it not by feeling . If I had asked God to give me a feeling i woul dnt be saved today . Is I'd be off somewhere chasing a feeling . Feelings change like the weather . But the word of God stands forever . You have to trust in the lord to revel himself to you in his good timing .

Well most Christians believe in the power of prescription drugs, they go to the Dr. for their medical needs.

[@naomisummers5471]

MariaHeardest But the point is not that we go to doctor for physical healing but that we rely on god to bring about true healing. God never promises that the Christian life will be an easy or healthy one. We go to a doctor but it is God that brings about the healing ultimately. Crystals have their place as gods creation, and we honor god for their beauty. But when one relys on anything but the one true god, this is when it become idolatry.

[@Maria-qh5hr]

@Naomi Schwartz I do not think anyone is crazy enough to honor Crystals as a replacement for God. But I am just saying most Christians do honor their Dr. prescriptions drugs with all the evil side effects that leads to other diseases. I am not against all Doctors but most Doctors do not believe in God at all. But Christians love supporting their Doctors although most are atheist and are keeping their patients sick. But no one talks about that!

[@Makfly79]

The only experience I had with crystals was strictly demonic. Actually, I take that back. I went to school for electronics, and we used crystals for frequencies to communicate with radios. I never thought of this, but I was using it in the exact same way to contact demons. My ex was a witch, and I didn't know until she started doing this thing with the crystal. I was with her 14 years, and did not know until that moment. I had clues, and knew her family were witches. She didn't consider herself a witch at the time. She told me she was Christian. I find that very hard to believe now. I have never met a person as evil as her. I am not even going to give details how she did it, because I do not want anybody being stupid enough to try it. It was like a very advanced quija board. Our life changed fast when she started messing with that thing. I hated it, and proved to her it was a demon. It could read my mind. She wanted to play a game. She told me to choose a number from 1-10, and write it down. I chose a 6, but also wrote down a 10. I said a prayer asking Jesus to change it to a 10 so I could prove to her this was a demon. This thing was never wrong until this one time. It chose a 10 like I prayed. I showed her what I did. She then asked it if it was evil. It said yes. I thought for sure that would stop her from doing it. She didn't care. I left her shortly after, and she tried to murder me. When stabbing me failed, she lied to police to have me locked away. There was something that always made me go back to her. She did terrible things, and I would just take it. We were both highly demonized. I got saved as a child, and I had a great love for Jesus my whole life. I also came from satanic bloodlines that really played a huge role in my life. I didn't know about my family until after all of this happened. I used to tell my friends that I was cursed. My first memory is somebody trying to kill me with bees. I had people try to kill me many times. I have lost count. Even though all this bad stuff was happening, miracles would happen to get me out of it every time. That was because I prayed all day every day out of fear. I never knew what was going to happen. A lot of it was my fault. I was living a bad life, and deep in sin. I didn't know I was about to marry a witch, and I didn't even know that I was worse then she was. I was way deeper into the occult then her without even knowing. I was so fooled for lack of knowledge. I had so much knowledge, but didn't know what it really was. I used to fall asleep at night listening to Robert Anton Wilson who said he was illuminati. I had no clue what that was. He wrote something called the 8 circuits of consciousness. I was shocked, because it was exactly what I was lead to do on my own. The difference was the he knew what he was doing. I had no clue. When you reach the 8th circuit, you reach some kind of extra terrestrial intelligence. It unfortunately works. I was always told that Christians can't get possessed. The word itself is misleading. Possession infers ownership. You can't be owned, but demons sure can control you. They can take full control for a short time if you do something to allow them. I was infested with demons. They manifest one time, and 7 men couldn't tie me up until I was prayed over. I had 6 police surrounding me in my bedroom when I just snapped out of it. I was tied up. Those things spoke through me, and said why they were there. The police were trying to push my arms down, and I just laughed at them. I stood there holding out my arms just laughing at how weak they were. My father knew what was happening, and acted. He started kicking out those demons, and I would vomit brown stuff as each left. I kept changing personalities. I refused to believe any of this until the day I got those demons mad. I found spiritual warfare prayers, and they did not like that. I felt like I was under physical attack. I felt like knives were stabbing me in my head, and back. It got scary for a bit. I then found a prayer asking for God to send his strong warrior angels down to protect me. What happened at that moment changed my life forever. He sent help, and let me know he was there. I finished my prayers, and all my negative emotions vanished. I had problems doctors could not help with that just vanished. I have never felt any kind of depression since that day. I barely get sad if a person dies now. I understand what death is, and it doesn't bother me anymore. My eyes were opened to a lot. That evil woman that I loved disgusted me instantly. I told her that I said a prayer to break soul ties with her, and that it made me feel nothing for her after. She tried to use a love spell to force me to love her again. It went very bad for her, and she called begging for help. I was protected, and those things were not happy she sent them to me. They went back, and let her know. Or maybe God just let her see who was helping her. I refuse her calls, but she told me what happened in a text, and sent photos of lights floating around her bedroom. I sent her a salvation prayer, and never heard from her for years after. She just called me 4 days ago out of nowhere. I was going through spiritual warfare, and knew it was her calling. She used somebody else's phone, but I had a feeling not to answer. I was right, she texted from it. Now, you can see why I do not like crystals lol. They are communication devices in electronics, or demonics lol. I have seen other uses for crystals, and they were even more demonic. I do not know if they have legitimate uses for good, but I have only seen bad. Even technology is bad. Our TV is a liquid crystal display. We wouldn't even have ever had TV or radio broadcast without crystals. I think the TV, and media is a huge reason the world is such a mess. We would have been better off if we never had it. We can thank crystals for all of it. They will play a role in the future too. I already see it happening with dark technology.

[@mariianar9510]

I never thought of crystals actually having power, I just like the way they look. I think they are nice decorations here and there.

[@deljean]

Right

[@juliebarnett9812]

Yes.

[@mia-genesis]

Wether you believe they hold power or not doesn’t really matter, because they do. It’s a fact. They hold different vibrational frequencies and are very sensitive to energy. Most crystals are mined and reaped from people involved in eastern religious practices, when you buy them your keeping not just the “healing” frequencies around you but also the former demonic energies attached to them from being dealt by those people.

[@amiblack8294]

out of ALL the decorations you could have, why would you choose these when you now know what their associations are? There are a lot of things that I like the way they look but if there's ANY question, it's a hard pass.

[@cryingissofun7432]

@@amiblack8294 I don’t think it’s right to only associate crystals with witchcraft and new age practices. God created crystals, rocks, gems, and stones and talks about them in the Bible as being used in the Gates of Heaven. We use them as decoration because they are reminders of God’s beautiful creations and true power. Constantly associating God’s creations with the occult is not necessary. They were God’s creations before they were used as idols and used for evil. Use his crystals to remember that He is an artist and a creative, powerful God. Having them as a decoration is perfectly fine as long as you aren’t putting the rocks before God.

Okay this is going to sound kind of weird but I had bronchitis a couple years ago & I had a lot of fluid in my lungs a lot of mucus that needed to come up but just wouldn't even with mucinex, now my cat, his name is Ralph, he's never done anything like this before. Now im laying down on my bed & my cat Ralph comes and lays down right on my chest and that position where they have their paws under them, & his face was maybe 3 inches away from my face and he started purring in a way I've never heard him purr before this really deep weird purr and my chest started vibrating and all of a sudden I started coughing up all of this yellow and green mucus that would not come up even when I took Mucinex only a little would come up. And I coughed for like 20 minutes and stuff just kept coming up it was like I had a tickle in my chest and then after that the cough, and seemingly bronchitis was just gone. I later read up about how doctors have a joke that if you put someone with a broken leg in a room with cats they will heal that broken leg. I found this quite amazing that he knew by laying on my chest & purring in that deep purr (I've never heard a cat purr like that & i haven't heard my cat purr like that since). Cats are a lot smarter than people give them credit for.

ok heres the thing when I was 14 years old my mom sent me to her friends house who was a chrystal healer. I have no idea why she did that I didnt even know what crystal healing was. He told me to lay down on this table bed thing and close my eyes so I did. He placed all these crystals on me (although i never saw them because my eyes were clothed the entire time) and I could FEEL this sensation of something big being lifted from out of my stomach . When it was over I was super tired I went home and took a nap and had a crazy dream about God and ever since I get so many dreams about spiritual matters. So the sensation thing was actually real and it did something to me but I know that God uses the bad for good. Ive since come to the Lord because he would come to me in dreams telling me things that were in the bible when I had never read the bible before. I dont know ANYTHING about crystal "healing" but I would like to know more about potential doors it opens for the enemy.

The frequency is not of God. He made the crystals but it's charge comes from the demonic forces. Your then expecting the creation to do what God does. You can't deny that crystals are used in witchcraft and those forces are not of God but of Satan. It's easy to be deceived and so many unfortunately are. Are there things in nature that God intended for medicine? Yes there's many herbs and spices that promote health but a rock is just a rock. Crystals are pretty rocks. I at one point was into the whole crystals energy mood healing ect..... thing. I was also into witchcraft and used them in that as well. I simply agree with Stevens message. I hope you will see that this is just one more thing that enemy uses to decieve. God bless you

I’m so glad u said this! Chrystal’s were definitely used and talked about a lot in the Bible. God put them here to help us not for us to worship.

[@Isidorra311]

Stones are God’s creation. I have God’s stones all over my place. It says in His word even the rocks will cry out. They record and reflect who God is. When they are around God they Praise Him. Guess what. God is in us through us and with us. Certain stones find us, why because they love the presence of God. They stop groaning. Everything on earth is a mere shadow of what will be. I don’t believe they heal nor do I believe the properties the earth has given them. I do use them as a tool. Meaning when I engage with Holy Spirit they engage with me in singing Praises to His name. The trees sing to God. All creation groans until we are restored. Remember satan mimics everything God does. He’s counterfeit. We must find the redemptive side. All of God’s creation are tools. The 12 stones represent the 12 tribes. Or the wall around the new Jerusalem. We all must be careful in all things. Anything can be an idol. I believe stones are a tool. Just like books. They add to our arsenal against the enemy. Just my thoughts. I will not throw away something that my God created. Especially when they Praise God. I look at it this way. I’m protecting His creation from getting into the wrong hands. We Praise together. Amen.

HI They represented the twelve tribes. The USE of them was limited to that. Using them for healing is an ungodly thing to do. YHWH said ' I am the Lord that healeth thee'. I.E. NOT by the agency of crystals. Shalom to you in Christ Yeshua.

[@TheOneTrueAJ]

I don't think the Bible really states anything concerning the reasons why. Same with the walls of New Jerusalem. We most commonly associate them with wealth and just royal beauty. But the Bible never states to aquire or use crystals or stones or gems. They were just used for currency and trade. If there was more to them, I believe God would've told us to hold on to them. I feel like if there was more, God would've told us to use these. I think this is just imagery of bringing the best to a King who is worthy. The Bible mentions precious metal etc. In terms of currency and wealth. I look at these rocks in the same.

I have a 26 yr old daughter. The Holy Spirit within me sets off alarms over and over again regarding her. She has crystals in her purse that spilled out at my home when she plopped her purse on the edge of the couch. Pieces of used candles fell out as well, several different colors. She dropped a "healing card" in the floorboard of my car..looks similar to a tarot card. I stopped by her apt she shares with her weird little boyfriend..while knocking on the door many times, realized they could not hear me because their music was so loud. Steven, the "music" sounded like voices in utter agony, all mixed up with a deep bass background melody. I saw a poster on the wall in their bedroom of some god/goddess creature..the one with multiple arms. When I attempt to say something about it, she gets a non expression look on her face and says okay. I am in a state of alarm. She was saved when younger, baptized, and during a youth camp trip, wanted to get baptized again in the river...caught up I expect, in the moment with others her age. I have asked God to place a hedge of protection around her. I asked him to remove Lucas from her life. I have commanded demonic spirits and influences to leave in Jesus's name and by the power of his precious blood. To y'all reading this, please agree with me in prayer for her deliverance. Thank you. God's blessings. So that you can be specific in prayer, her name is Katie ❤

Crystals are created by God and I certainly don't worship or idolize them. However, just like a walk through a pristine forest created by God heals the body and spirit so do crystals (which also happen to be created by God) have a healing effect on us. So I disagree with what you are saying.

[@toosiyabrandt8676]

HI There is a HUGE difference between walking in a forest and filling one's lungs with fresh air, and assigning to crystals the unnatural ability to heal . Shalom to you in Christ Yeshua.

[@Dylan_96_]

You're using them self reliantly to effect the outcome that you want. It's a piece of material, in which *you* have given it it's power in your own imagination. *You* believing that a material object can offer any healing power, or offer anything at all, is definitely an idol. It's no different than creating statues of false gods out of stones or wood, and praying to them for prosperity/success. You're using the crystals in hopes that it will restore you when in reality, it cannot. People who pray to statues & graven images want the same thing from them as what you want from the crystals. Same exact principle.

[@warriorprincess7074]

I appreciate you sharing your perspective Steven. I’m not quite sure I agree? So you’re saying man made medicine is ok, but not something God created? Honestly anything can be idolatry in our lives. Pharmaceuticals (aka) man made drugs could also be looked at as witchcraft as well. I thank Jesus for all of his creation and for the things in nature he gave us to use as medicine. I don’t believe it’s an abomination or idolatry to use crystals or herbs for healing. Of course prayer is our first go to, but God also uses western medicine, eastern medicine, and food as medicine to help our bodies heal. God can use anything He wants. Have you ever heard of Hildegard Von Bingen? She was a nun in the 11th century who was really in tune with God and his creation. The sick and dying would come to her monastery in hopes to get healed. She was a great woman of faith who understood plants and their healing properties, as well as use crystals. I agree that there is no scientific evidence for crystal healing. But I don’t think a well intentioned believer is practicing idolatry or witchcraft by hoping their headache will go away if they place a charged quartz on their head and thank Jesus for the quartz. It’s worth a try right! Lol. I’d much rather try that, than take something that taxes my liver. There is a great Christian online Community called Trinity Phix that goes in depth on this subject. I encourage you to check out. God Bless You on your journey bro

@Britta Knutsen - God made medicine for us to use too. It's a different thing when you run to it first and not to him. But medicine has its purpose. I think you missed the point. People are literally sourcing these rocks for super natural use. Got didn't put no rocks on earth for us to use for healing like that...

[@Laurel_Kay]

@@billion86 - Steven mentions that the rocks were put to a test. Naturally there was NO exchanging of vibrations from rock to human. And he also said he was agnostic to the rocks being used spiritually to conjure spirit guides etc. So we know that the power source of using these stones come from demons... But naturally they do nothing. So we cannot compare them to medicines which God also gave for us to use. Which means if the stones were used, the only way they can be (power sourced by demons), that using these stones is in fact *idolatry*. You guys... let's help each other stay on track. Stick to the word and also ask for discernment. This was such a simple video... I agree with she wolf... Idk how you all got confused xo

WOW ...THERE ARE NO MISTAKES ! I was raised Catholic, and anything outside of Scripture was considered Satanism. In the eighties, I became part of The New Age movement, and explored with crystals, meditation, yoga. I went to tarot card readers and mediums. I always felt unfulfilled but really didn't pay too much attention to that as I felt " I was GOD". In the 90's n up till present , I dabbled on n off with these things. 7-5-19, I came to KZbin looking for Information on programming crystals. I was curious about " Crystals, a Christian Perspective". I was blown away, n continued to watch Ur video's. I immediately felt chills and elated joy, Remembering the Glory of Jesus and God. I threw out all crystals and New Age Paraphernalia. Thank You Steve for Ur Intelligence and Thorough research. I am riveted, and I feel that I am back to where I should be.

[@slappinbass8052]

First I want to say, I respect that you are sharing your beliefs on KZbin. I also don’t expect any response from you on this, seeing as you never respond to my questions. This is just what I have to say on this matter. I am a Christian, AND I am a believer in energy healing. The way I see it, God has given us these tools to help ourselves and others, and the moment we abuse these tools or try to take the Lord’s credit for healing, that’s when we get in trouble. In this video you keep saying “If this stuff works, you are guilty of performing witchcraft.” I’ve witnessed this stuff work. A while back I had appendicitis, and the pain was crippling. My mom came to help me, and she first prayed to know what to do, and he told her to use energy work on me. I was crying, begging her to skip the bogus energy stuff and just give me medicine to help with the pain. Instead she started hovering her hand over my appendix and I kid you not, the pain went away and I could walk just fine. In fact, I didn’t have to get my appendix removed either. Guess who I give credit to? God. He is the one that gave us that tool and gave my mom the idea to use it in that situation. I guess what I’m getting at is I don’t see how using crystals/energy/yoga/etc is any worse than using medicine to fix your ailments. Does using medicine make you a witch? As long as we are doing these things in the name of Jesus Christ, wouldn’t it be okay to use these tools that God has given us?

[@amyyvonne]

Kristen Jakins, thanks for speaking your opinion here. I believe the main reason steven is saying to not use crystals is in the sense of spiritual healing. There are some forms of physical healing that can be received from energy, and rocks like amber. However, it's physical qualities that God made to heal our body. The created cannot heal the created. Only God can heal. Also, there is no where in scripture where God tells us to use crystals or anything to receive healing. He says, your faith has made you whole. I believe in using crystals, your almost doubting that God can do it without crystals. Why would He need crystals when He can just heal you without?

[@soberanozar480]

Kristen Jakins i totally agree with you on this. 😍

[@celticfreckles392]

Kristen, I think the healing came from God through your mama's hands. My 28 y/o son is an addict and a non-believer. When he comes home after a binge all I have to do is place my hands on him and the heat and the healing starts immediately. Ever since he was a baby he would get pneumonia and bronchitis real easily and I placed my hands on him and he would heal...sometimes with antibiotics sometimes without. Last time his withdrawals were so bad that he crawled his big body up on my bed and I just held him. Within a few hours he tells me, "Thanks mom, I'm better now." My own mom was not nurturing like this and barely ever hugged me but luckily God made me strong and healthy. My nieces n nephews, all in their 20s, still come to me for back rubs. It's Christ working through me I'm sure of. There's a book called "The power of touch" talks about it. It's the same reason the bible talks about laying hands on people....a mama's hands are even better.

I used to practice witchcraft and meditation. I would often use crystals for protection and to aid me in my spells. Often times crystals are used like candles in witchcraft each kind of crystal has a different kind of purpose or use. For example rose quartz are used in love spells, Amethyst for psychic protection, Tourmaline to ward off negative energy. I don’t practice this stuff anymore, but I want to warn people who are naive and unaware of this stuff.

[@shelrobi8438]

Again, wow. I still have crystals in my room and i live in a ministry house. I haven't so much been wearing my crystals as much as i use to because i feel a sense of going against God. I have a past of using crystals for what was missing in my inner self, that God filled me with. I feel almost guilty to wear crystals, i don't need that kind of protection like i once use to use them for. I am at work right now and i want to leave to get rid of my collection. i have been thinking about this ever since i was saved and this will be hard for me because this is my collection of many years. But i did once use these stones and i have a sense of guilt when i wear them. I hope that one day i can wear Gods beautiful creation and not feel guilty just like i cant listen to some bands because of an ex lover. Again, thank you for sharing.

I love rocks and I believe that in and of themselves they hold no special "power", but I do believe curses can be put on just about object. I try to buy my rocks from people who don't speak metaphysical attributes(curses) over the stones. My favorite lapidary is a Christian and he appreciates, as do I, the mind/imagination of the Creator. If I am not sure of the source of the stone I either pray to break any curses that my be placed upon it or I reject the stone. When I make jewelry I pray God's blessing for the person who ends up with it. I also pray that no curses can ever be put upon it and that any curses spoken over the piece be returned to the sender. A Christian sister told me that was harsh. I told her it is war.

[@christa7773]

We are told to anoint... The etymology of Christ is "the anointed one" and olive oil is symbolically used to represent God's truth throughout the Bible. The commenter above me covered some of the main scriptures that instruct in the use of oil... It is important to remember that the oil itself doesn't heal ot drive out demons; God does that; but the use of oil shows our obedience to God. Always ask for healing in Christ's name, as this gives your credentials as a Christian. That's oil use in a nutshell- I'm a big fan of Steven though and I'm sure any video he did on anointing oils would be awesome. A final note: don't get tricked into spending a ton of money on some special oil infused with myrrh or whatever other nonsense....plain olive oil is fine (remember, the oil doesn't do the healing, GOD does). Just place some in a small bottle or vial and ask God to bless it as anointing oil. That's it! When anointing, a little bit on your fingertip is all you need. You can also anoint your doorpost and order any negative entity out in Christ's name. Then you will be assured that nothing negative can enter your home. God gives us power over all our enemies; all we need do is be willing to use it!

I am finding discernment instead of shunning things to ask God what to do and when and God is the leader of what you use when, how, and in who and in what way.. putting faith in a crystal for a result because of reading about crystals is idolatry, yes, I agree, but when you ask God what needs to be done to heal and you are shown to eat an orange slice and then the next time you ask it is to hold a specific gemstone, it is relying on God to move through that item or food. Nothing nothing nothing in this world will stay the same or be able to be used for the same results we got before, because God wants us to continually rely on and ask Him for help and The Way.. but it doesn't mean things are evil.

One I bought and the other was given to me. I like them because of the soft glow and I also heard they clean the air which is another reason I like them. I also have some bracelets with beats, some might be made of stones, not sure what they may represent, I like them for look, and I also read a comment here that stated some might be good with protecting from radiation. Again I like them for look and not for representation of anything else, as healing (I have noticed Lauren Dangle wears a lot on them). I also have Some statues out in my garden/yard of a boy and a girl and some frogs for decoration, and not because they might represent or mean anything else to me (is this considered something bad?). What can you tell me or someone tell me about frequency music? I know you can even find the frequency of David’s harp (I believe they say 444 or 432), they promoted as a healing frequency and connecting to God, I’m curious as if this listening to this is also a bad practice. And last the pineal gland, there is so much being said about it, I’m just curious if this once again is also a bad practice that the new age encourages ppl to do, or it Christians should know about it (they say it connects you with God, and it has been kept from believers).

Keep spreading truth man!! I’ve been a victim of the new age lies for years as well. Jesus saved me from that & much respect to you for being brave enough to stand for truth!! Much love dude.

[@komatsusakura]

lol . I found another way to use it before it happen

[@gravityworks777]

Great video! We have such a similar background but I was in the occult for about 18 years before I came back to Christ. Do you have a video explaining the spiritual warfare that one will need to understand for when someone turns away from the new age movement and comes against spiritual attack? I didn’t have this clearly explained to me and when I was getting rid of all occult items I learned this lesson the hard way. You have a great understanding of scripture that is obviously from revelation of the Word. Teach on brother!! 🙌🏻

[@worldchangerministries8932]

Such good advice! I found this truly helpful. I was a Christian who slowly slipped away through occultism practices without realizing how far I had gone from the things of God. I recently returned to God/Jesus this past March 19th 2020 and your videos are one of the first ones I found that helped people who came from occultism. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your experiences.

[@cheryldeneduncan8871]

Hi Steven I am abit confused. In Acts 19:12 ► New International Version so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them. The bible talks about objects that have power to heal people. My view is that Paul had the gift of healing and that it was strong enough to impart onto the cloth. Talking new age terms now: "its like he was able to release a frequency of healing" Now my question is .. was the healing that God provided trough that cloth actually just a plasebo effect. Was it just the people's amount of faith that made them well or is there really a frequency of healing that Paul tapped into. My other questions is, if healing is a gift (as seen in the vers below) would it be possible for non saved people to receive the gift aswel. To others the same Spirit gives faith. To others that one Spirit gives gifts of healing. To others he gives the power to do miracles. To others he gives the ability to prophesy. Thank you for the impact you are making in the body of Christ and for teaching us the truth. You are a powerful man of God and i pray that you will continue being a mouthpiece for God. Xx love your sister from South Africa

[@mistylawrence6944]

Crystal healing is not new age, it's been around for centuries.

[@psynix1043]

Not the point

[@prayerwarrior3030]

And isolated has been around also for centuries..which is not from God. Your supposed to ask God to heal you..he is in the business of healing not through rocks

[@elsablue3646]

Exactly new age is picking up the occult from centuries ago!

[@Habitation333]

So has new age.

[@toosiyabrandt8676]

HI NOT in the Bible! And where ever the Gospel has been preached, people repent of it. OCCULTIC.

[@GreenNectarines]

I came to this video looking for the opposite perspective on crystals as I was just on one that was positive towards the use of crystals. I wanted to see if anyone was going to have a healthy debate and all I see are comments full of people belittling ideas that arent their own (on both ends). Real points are ignored and we have to basically accept anything the man in the video is saying (I am a christian person but it is a little odd that science suddenly matters here). Maybe that's my fault for expecting intellectual exchange with the purpose of advancing thought in a KZbin comment section. I was hoping someone...anyone... Would bring up the 7 lampstands, explain why they sound like chakras and have a discussion about what it means. I'm not bashing the christian side here only; the crystal users here are equally wrong in their own way. There are a lot of things that make no sense to me on both sides so I suppose the only thing I can do is ask God to guide me on this one. ✌

[@stjohnssoup]

In Revelation the lamp-stand is referred to as the seven eyes of the Lion of the tribe of Judah who has prevailed and who is the slain lamb of God, the Passover Lamb. He is also seen to be risen. He is the Conquering, Resurrected Lamb with seven burning eyes.

[@lancevanderheyden5482]

Meds and potions are surely witch craft also ?

[@DJMEWMEW]

Lance Van der Heyden I could propose an idea but I'd sound crazy and you'd have to believe not all humanity is good. My theory is stuff was corrupted by fallen angels or some of our tech came from them. Also there is big money in medical to keep people sick. In a class, I learned that according to more recent death cause survey, people die more of chronic disease than infectious

[@Chrissycolelive]

God gives us discernment medication is not idolatry...nor is surgery or a blood transfusion...it’s modern medicine there’s no conviction for saving a life or getting well through medication...god is the true healer ... but medication is not supernatural...

Please explain to me why after cleaning my crystal in kosher salt water over night, I poured the excess water out into the sink, in the sink was a tempered glass cover for my crock pot. When the water that the crystal was sitting in all night hit this glass, the glass shattered into a thousand peices.. please help

[@klarag7059]

I’ve done kinesiology including with stones and shells and colours, (feng shui too but that’s somewhat off topic). I actually had a body memory panic attack with shells. I’ve repented and gave it over to God, but I’m aware this doesn’t always free us from the attachment of demons. God did purge some demonic presence(s) as He showed me the causes of a paralysing attack and I surrendered each thing He showed me that allowed access to the demonic. It was an act of pure worship and there was nothing but truth and love from God as His presence purged the darkness from me. From experience I know God will deal with what we are ready to deal with or when He deems it as time to do so. He also leads us to do our own work in “proving ourselves worthy”, rather than just being bottle fed and sitting around, waiting on our next feed. So, my question is this: in your understanding, are you aware of anything that may be overlooked by Christians when they repent from occultic involvement? I know I have generations of occult in my family and I’m sure this is what drew me in to begin with. I’ve been enticed by these spirits even since surrendering to the Father through Jesus way back when I was 15, even through and after my years in Bible colleges and ministries. It’s like, (as someone who is now on the proverbial wagon), going to a party and finding the fruit punch more than just a tasty thirst quencher, desiring more and more yet not noticing the obvious reason being there must be alcohol in the punch though there is no other indicator to confirm there is. Even nowadays the crooning voice of deception lulls me, drawing me toward temptation. I’m obviously not impervious nor finished being sanctified. Whatever you could contribute here would be most greatly appreciated.

[@SDeaneMalaney]

What is your take on Applied Kinesiology? I work for a Chiropractor who routinely uses it. I've personally seen changes in the body from both Mayan sorcery from my past as a New Ager & when the doctor uses this with patients. I feel extremely uncomfortable when he makes me participate & I call on the name of Jesus during the process. I think I will be leaving there soon.

[@stephan9413]

Hello, I'd say the Holy Ghost is already revealing to you, that this practice is wrong - it's the uncomfortible feeling you have... leave for good and be blessed👍

[@ohiogarbageman9507]

S. Deane Malaney after reading this article, it seems to me that it's just nonsensical as far as diagnosis goes.( www.chirobase.org/06DD/ak.html) the reasearch shows that it just doesn't work, and therefore is a lie. Good luck in your decision. God bless.

Crystals have the ability to hold data, kinda like a flash drive/5d storage. It can hold info for billions of years potentially. This is actual science look it up before you dispute it.

Maybe my question sounds silly but i have a set of 6 crystal liquer glasses and 2 swarovski crystals as decoration are they harmful as well or can i just keep keeping them in the cubpoard?Thank you

[@WeAreBullets]

so wholistic medicine is still fine, cause it literally is relying on biological reactions, like if we're using herbs literally to biologically balance out an issue we are having. not in a superstitious was at all, but rather in an understanding of actual medicine

[@Micasa22]

WeAreBullets there’s no doubt in my mind that God created all things to benefit us in some way. His foods are healing. The faith isn’t in the food, but in Him and in what He created.

[@silverbullet2008bb]

I disagree with Steven here. For example, what about radiotherapy for cancer etc? That also uses frequencies that affect the body with the aim of bringing about healing that is not of God. Before you say "well that's not supernatural", the supernatural is just what we don't understand in science yet. Our ancestors thought the sun and the moon were supernatural. If one day science proved crystals to work, would they suddenly be ok to use just because science proved it? By Steven's logic the only type of healing allowed is that which science has already proven.

[@toasterpastries5811]

*Are Himalayan Salt Lamps included in this category?*

[@valvacious2793]

Crystals are used in healing and therapy because of many reasons. 1. One main reason is their BEAUTY. They bring some people JOY by their unique beauty. They can help you go from a negative state of mind to a positive state. Just like looking at a beautiful piece of art in a museum or aromatherapy can or a beautiful clean house can. 2. Crystals are used in creating singing bowls. Sound healing is nothing new. ... As the crystal bowls are played, the oscillation and resonance of the sound vibration moves through our physical bodies and penetrates into our cells. MUSIC CALMS THE SAVAGE BEAST! Just like certain Gospel Songs will make you feel better when you sing them or hear them. Certain music or sounds have an emotional effect on the person. 3. The Healing Tones produced by "Crystal Singing Bowls" are not just heard by ear, but can also be felt in your physical body, touching the essence of your soul. Each of the 7 Bowls resonate to a different Chakra, musical note, color as well as various organs in your body. Singing Bowls along with toning and chanting may produce Healing effects. This modality is known for relaxation, stress and pain removal as well as self-awareness. 4. Crystals are used in electronics all the time. Quartz crystals are also a common component in devices like cell phones, television receivers, and, of course, watches and clocks. 5. One of the main reasons quartz is used in so many electronic devices is because it is piezoelectric, meaning it generates an electric charge when pressure is exerted upon it. 6. Quartz also demonstrates a reverse piezoelectric effect: When an electric charge is applied to a quartz crystal, it begins vibrating. As we'll see, these attributes become very important when it comes to keeping time. 7. Some people wear a cross around their neck. The object itself is not doing the protection but reminding the person about the POWER behind it. You go to churches and they have many statues or pictures of Jesus. You are not praying to that man made statue. I have never been to a crystal healing service without praying to God first.

[@ChronosKat]

I ordered a black tourmaline (schrol) pendant on amazon cause it looked pretty and I liked the metal wire art. But after it arrived I looked up the mineral and all I got was reiki and crystal sites. I didn't even know what reiki was and I seriously only use it for decoration. So should I throw it out or not?

[@salacia0707]

How about himalayan salt crystal? I have a huge salt lamp and some small salt rocks, I'm thinking about grinding them to cooking salt. Or better to throw them away? Thanks

[@membering]

I do not agree w/this video. Put God first, but be smart enough to use the tools he gave us for health and healing.

[@joannac9213]

I agree ,keeping in mind it is all about intent

[@ShaTownTV]

I agree ☝🏾

[@TheOneTrueAJ]

My standpoint on this at first was this. But then I learned the origin of where All this came from is that the energy from the crystals are from angels or ancestors. And that immediately confirmed that it's idolatry for me.

[@Dylan_96_]

The crystals do nothing. All of man's problems have been resolved on the cross, through Christ. If you rely on anything else, for healing, for prosperity, for success, for deliverance, knowledge, restoration, blessing, wealth - anything OTHER than the living God, unfortunately, you've created an idol Isaiah 53:1-5 WEB Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed? [2] For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. [3] He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn't respect him. [4] Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. [5] But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

[@johnnyterminator2004]

Dylan Agreed, crystals do not do a thing

[@leeleecruz5699]

Wow....I'm a Christian, a Roman Catholic and I was able to see beautiful and even the scary things that others couldn't. I was just a baby and saw a homeless man alone and sad and waved to him while passing by and my parents saw that and thought it was amazing. A figure of a man dressed almost like a priest with his black suit placed his hands on my mother's shoulder making her space out and let go of the walker which lead to me falling down the stairs however I felt no pain as two angles were on both sides of me protecting me. No one could see them but myself and my mother only remembers the feeling of someone placing their hand on her shoulder wanting her to let go of me and spacing out. She cried because she never told anyone not even myself. I had to bring it up to her because for years I wondered if it was real. I read the bible and thought I was bad or as you said an abomination because I could see things others couldn't so I prayed it away. I knew at a young age that I wanted to be a nun and help the poor. Things changed when an ex nun laughed at me asking how to join the sisterhood. I was crushed and so upset. I realized I could only feel things others couldn't and just ignored it. I felt I had to move on from wanting to be a nun since apparently it was a joke to the nun who was also my principal. 😔 I realized that after my last visitor who was an angel telling me to not lose myself among all the things that would come to bring me down....that I had lost something very special which was a connection to God and the angels that was not wrong nor an abomination. I prayed and asked God to see things as I did before. Now things are more sensitive and I can see what will happen before it does to help others. I saved my friend's life because I asked God to protect her and God sent me what I needed to see to pass along the message to save her. She is alive because I did not deny those sensitivities to receive. It's tough to have a natural connection to God to help others and not be called something I'm not. I don't identify as a witch, sorcerer, or any of those things. Some have called me an indigo child some have called me a star child. some people who I have helped have been called me an angel but honestly I'm none of those things I'm just simply a human being who is sensitive and can pick up on things that others probably are not able to because maybe they're not paying attention or whatever the reason LOL the good thing is that I have helped others and that is something that God wants us to do is to help others. I don't have magical powers LOL whatever I receive whatever I pick up on clearly God wants me to pass along and to help someone else. I always have that little voice telling me what I need to do and not do to stay protected but I also want to put myself out there to help others and if it means people being rude to me or unkind then it is what it is. I don't believe that crystals can heal directly or anything like that but I do believe that there is a science to it as it is a material that comes from Earth. We like collecting crystals, in rocks from the Earth because we like to study first and the planets and things like that on a scientific level. we also just think they're pretty lol I know other people who collect crystals and truly believe that healing powers come from it and that's them but I don't believe that crystals can heal you. psychology is also another thing that I've always been interested in and my mother always thought it was going to be a doctor because of how much I like to help others LOL I am Puerto Rican so my roots are Taino Indian and so yes I burn sage which kills airborne bacteria, eat with sage which is a spice you can buy from Walmart and is good for you, I burn Palo Santo which is holy wood and also has health benefits, I burn incense like the priest does at church, I have a private space with the cross to pray, I do yoga for health and exercise not to worship Buddha or anything like that lol There's a lot of gray areas, however natural medicines that were done by natives are not to be confused with witchcraft or sorcery or any of the sort. I really love this video that you did as it breaks down why not to hold any crystals or material things as having power. However there is a slight gray area there as we have crucifixes and believe that they protect us from any bad spirits, rosaries that we used to pray to the Blessed Mother or some call her Lady Azna or the goddess. Many religions and different practices can have many likenesses as I have studied many religions and practices to see what the world contains and how to better protect myself. I study cultures and their religions and I travel. I remember that even to glance upon another's religion was considered a sin or some type of abomination however if you go to college and it is part of your study, then it's just the study of another culture. I hope you do another video talking about people being afraid to learn about the other cultures of the world due to not wanting to go against the bible lol because yes you can learn about other people and their cultures without letting it effect your own spiritual or religious beliefs. I have traveled and studied the Earth scientifically without letting anything come between my relationship with God. God is everywhere and can use anything to help us if we ask for God's help. Sometimes God will use a neighbor to help save you from a burglar. Sometimes God will have a tree fall in the road preventing you from going to work because he is trying to help you avoid a bigger danger. Trust in God. I have my whole life. I've had to block out some crazed so-called Christian believers because they would yell and scream and say "you're going to hell". God and I know my destination. No one knows me nor my heart better than Jesus Christ who I go to in order to get to God. No crystal ball needed, no crystals needed, just my faith in God. If you are sensitive to things, you are not an abomination. I hope you do a video on people who have been able even if they don't mean to be able in seeing things others can't like the dead. Not everyone can help it. Please don't make them feel badly about that. There are fakes out there, but some people are gifted for real. Don't mix the two together. As long as they come on God's work there should be no harm and no wrong. God bless you in Jesus name, Amen🙏🌸

[@kksweetness]

I have recently found myself more interested in these crystals and I’m also going to take a Reiki class soon. I felt these where crystals that God put here for us to use and feel the positive energy from them. But after watching this video I see now that I am practicing idolatry and I’m putting these crystals along side God. It was meant for me to watch this video. I never want to put anything before God. Thank you

[@helix_22robyn44]

So I use the crystals as a fidget cube. Sure, to some people that think the crystals has a meaning... I use their meaning like a subject that I'm practicing. I hold the crystal and I may forget what it really means but I know the stones I have a positive meaning so I'm practicing being positive and I hold on a crystal and breath in and out. I'm Christian so my crystals are mearly a sticky note to remind me of what I need to work on with emotions and health and being assertive.
