Why Riaan Swiegelaar Left The Satanic Church For Christianity

In this clip from the podcast I did with the founder of the Satanic Church in South Africa, Riaan Swiegelaar, we talk about why he left Satanism for Christianity after meeting Jesus Christ.

We tell them, if you were on a boat and you saw people drowning yelling that they’re fine. Would you leave them there to drown or would you try to save them and beg them allow themselves to be saved. We are all agreement we must try to save as many as we can. God hates sun but loves humans who are filled with it. So we need to spread the word that he can take that from us and we’re all blessed with his good news.

@@USAhollowpoint777 I think what the poster may have meant is that some of those who act like rebels & particpate in witchcraft, etc. are actually more hurt & more in need of God than anyone else, but due to abuse, hurt, etc. refuse to seek him. I think that is true in some cases, especially with people who were abused in some way by Christians, clergy, etc.

[@StylesEste]

@@southbug27 It certainly is a process of healing for those that have been abused by members of the clergy; People who are meant to be showing the love of Christ, the comfort and safety. Instead they come as wolves in sheeps clothing and hurt people. And this is also why it is more needed now for men to become grief counselors. There is a distinct lack of counselors in the world, and as the Church it is our job to fulfill this need.

He is not beyond redemption. However, he has made no statement of salvation nor repentance. He remains in his openly sinful life style. In his other video he admits to conversing with spirits still, as well as Jesus. Christians, continue pray for his salvation. God's Word tells us to avoid divination, and the occult. There is an obvious reason, because it opens you up to demons. That is what appears to have happened here.

I believe that Riaan saw Jesus, or felt his love and light fill his body because I have felt it too and the intensity is so overwhelming that you are flooded with tears. It can happen to anyone and everyone if you just open up to it. I was out for a walk and I often ran into a person who was poor and I knew could use my help, so one day I said to Jesus that if this person needs me today then please let them know that I am in the area, and to arrange our meeting. To make a long story short, in an unlikely place, I saw that person and I knew that it could only be with the guidance of Jesus. The light came down from the heavens and filled me with his love and I hugged that person, helped them and then went all the way home crying with a joy that was indescribable. Ask and it will happen for you too. Jesus is real. And I have been blessed to had this experience several times under different circumstances. Be patient and be open, Jesus loves you too.

'In Australian folklore, the rainbow serpent represents a deity, or god, responsible for giving life as well as creating and destroying nature, particularly in relation to water. It's believed that the snake travels from one waterhole to another, blessing the people when happy and causing destruction when angered.' That makes a bit more sense to me as a deity than the Christian one tbh, it's all one kind of thing or two sides of the same deity, the powers of creation and destruction, life and death all combined there.

[@drieniedebeer4247]

With Riaan’s first video when he came out saying he is a christian now, he made a statement saying that he isn’t going to speak to the media. This isn’t to get attention. And what does Riaan do? He does the opposite. Meaning he lied. When he made that statement in his video, something told me he was not telling the truth, but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Many things in his video didn’t seem right. So I thought, well, give him some time. He is just “new”. But my descernment keeps telling me Riaan isn’t new. He studied theology and he loved bragging about it while he was a satanist, throwing that fact in our faces. Which means, that he knows very well what stands in the Bible. He is NOT a baby christian. So when he comes in with his new aged beliefs which still ties in very well with his previous religion satanism, but just seems a little more “christian”, my alarm bells go off!!! Just like it went of when Riaan tried to tell us that they didn’t believe in Satan as satanists and that they don’t do dangerous rituals. They wanted to seem all friendly and all. And I can’t help but ask myself, why this guy keeps doing this? As much as I would love for this guy to be truly christian, I would have to say, unfortunately, my descernment is telling me that he is deceptive. And now Riaan will again tell the world how us christians don’t love him, because we don’t accept him. No, Riaan. It isn’t that we don’t love you. It is that you are not honest and christians have the Holy Spirit that guide them and tell them what is going on. You have not once truly repented anywhere. And that is the first sign that your repentance is false. There are many other things I can say, but I’ll leave it here. Riaan, repent, get baptized, READ YOUR BIBLE and CHANGE! Stop your new aged beliefs and games. You might be fooling people, but you are NOT fooling God. And when you truly repent, stop playing games, I will also with the Body of Christ love you like my brother. Now I love you also, but I love you enough to call you out on your lies and nonsence!

I hope and pray his Conversion is real and solid. If you remember, Paul killed and persecuted Christians for years, but God chose him for redemption and Salvation. Unfortunately, there are MILLIONS of people who "believe" they are saved, but are believing that in error, as there is so much false doctrine, "churches" and preaching in The World which leads them to a "false Salvation" and they are actually lost.

Does anyone question this? This doesn't settle right in my spirit, he did the ritual to invoke spirits? And "Jesus" shows up? Could it be the the angel of light?

[@romanofOmen]

I understand your concern, but again we have to see the result of his experience. His experience isn't to confirm that we can "summon Jesus in a ritual" but that in this upside-down way of wayward self religion which perhaps delves into unknown reality oddities many of us are not much aware of. He experiences a guilty conscience, he's afraid that he's encountered God. If this means he chooses to repent and believe in Christ and what that means, then all the glory to God in working in this particular instance. I'm aware also that some muslims will become believers in Christ because of dreams and visions.

[@romanofOmen]

I also read an interview with him that he had encountered Christian love from a woman he had met, so the little thing that Christians do to love and support and try and tell others about the good news, theose people who eventually believe will remember it, and give glory to God.

[@Nats77777]

Trust your discernment here. He is unrepentant, he says God is both male and female, he says we have nothing to be forgiven of, that God said satanism isn’t that bad. This is a doctrine of demons. He has shown his fruits and we are told that we will know them by their fruits. Satan himself parades as an angel of light. If anything the subtle lies baked in truth is most like the father of satanism and the entire wide path- Satan. It’s a deception. Let’s pray he encounters the true living God and the fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom and that the scales truly fall from his eyes.

[@Nats77777]

Ty for your Testimony … your masculine Tears broke the American Man-Made crust of My Heart because THAT IS MY YESHUA! ALL Powerful to just BE and drop you to the ground … by His Love. I’m stunned at being an American Made Evangelical for 40 years and having ZERO understanding of the dedication of the Enemy in Human’s. The satan’s have infiltrated every crevice of our culture, ooozing in to nudge out the molecules of the pseudo-good we pride ourselves on. No knowledge of the Prophetic Days we are in among 90% or greater “Christian’s” here, but those following the satan’s do. They’re active and engaged knowing their time is almost up. 25 years ago even a skirmish in Israel spread thru the Churches on Sunday, yet an invasion ON a Moed, 50 Years exactly after the Yom Kippur War is meh! This is GREAT insight into the workings of the enemy, but only a blip of the depth of evil that America represents … shown in the callousness of “believer’s” engaged in every-day evils to one another. DROP EVERYTHING IF YOU IDENTIFY AS CHRISTIAN and are NOT scouring His Word, THE WORD for His return … YHWHs TRUE Calendar has been uncovered my individuals seeking Him … every day seekers hungry for Yeshua meeting and corresponding with hundreds of others, the ‘least of these’, around the World who each had pieces to figure it out. We are approaching Year 6000 since Creation … to YHWH a day is like 1000 years and 1000 years as a day. Year 6000 and 1 second begins the 1000 Year, 7th Day Rest … where every Old Testament scripture tells of Yeshua’s Reign. *Rev 3:3 “Remember, then, how you have received, and heard. And watch and repent. If, then, you do not wake up, I shall come upon you as a thief, and you shall not know at all what hour I come upon you.* ~ Yeshua

And the male gender was the only gender that simbolised power in those years so apparently male was the way to go.
