ONE YEAR WITH JESUS: New Age to New Life

Welcome back to Heaven & Healing Podcast — the first episode of 2023! This is my special “One Year with Jesus” anniversary episode where I share the synopsis of my testimony for anyone who hasn’t heard it before and from there reflect on what my first full year walking with the Lord has been like.

The episode starts with the background context of where I’m coming from: New Age spirituality, obsessed with ‘self-healing’ modalities such as tarot, astrology, yoga, reiki, crystal healing and more. I discuss how even though I spent nearly a decade entrenched in those things, there was never true, substantial healing — only bouts of relief that would eventually perpetuate more patterns of bad behavior, anxiety and chronic depression.

I was 27 years old, curled up on my kitchen floor ready to end my life when I called out to Jesus Christ for the first time in September 2021. By late December 2021, after straddling the fence of “New Age Christianity” for several months, I finally laid my life before the Lord’s feet in conviction of the Holy Spirit and, by the grace of God, surrendered faith to Jesus Christ entirely.

Christ healed my relationship anxiety, my ongoing depression, my lustful tendencies and my bondage to demonic deception of NA.

A year later, I continue to be sanctified by God’s peace that surpasses all understanding.

In this episode, I share what it was like with my NA circle after I came to know Jesus, how my mom’s salvation followed my own, give a look into my relationship with my fiancé before and after his experience finally coming-to-Christ, reflect on the difference in how I handle struggles before I knew Jesus vs. now, share some things I am accused of with maintaining my platform, praise God for the opportunities He has given me to glorify Himself, discuss the way God has both humbled my theology and allowed me to embrace my freedom in Christ post-NA where I was afraid of demonic deception.

There’s a special message for unbelievers at the end that I pray God will use to reach ears to listen.

Finally, I conclude with an important announcement regarding future exclusive content.

Thanks for the support this year. All glory to God!

Your interview with Michael Knowles convicted me so much that I gave my life to Jesus Christ. All praise to God.

[MrsNobody]

I see myself in you and you helped me a lot in the past month with deciding to turn away from taro and astrology and turn to God. I just got my first bible delivered this week and I am going to read it this year. Thank you so much ❤

"I tried so hard, for so long to do it by myself, yet it never got me anywhere."

My life summed up until 2 years ago. Thank you Jesus. I'll never stop singing of your goodness!!!

[brendawanjiru]

God, through your testimony on Mike Knowles brought me back to Him. I remember listening to you and God convicted me all the way and I rededicated my life to Him. Praise Jesus! 🕊️ I pray He continues to bless your ministry

[paulmartin]

Amen sister in Christ none of us in our faith a perfect amen ✝️☦️🙏🌅✝️🔥🔥🔥🇭🇲🇱🇷🇱🇷🇭🇲

[primaveraserra]

Angela, you have a gift for getting across the dangers of New Ageism. Those practices are all over tik tok. Do you post there? If not, they need you!

[COOLSTUDIOS-xr]

Thank you for being courageous enough to tell your story. The rosary is powerful and Our Lady will bring you closer to Him.

[jupiterrising]

God bless you, sister. I can never get enough of hearing the testimony of other Christians, especially those young in the faith. Our stories are very similar in a lot of ways. Stay close to your Bible, measure everything you hear against it, and always always always keep your eyes on Him.

I need prayers my name is Tyler Proulx, pray that I can quit cigarettes and start eating healthy most importantly pray that others find Jesus Christ, when I felt him in my heart he brought tears to my eyes for my sins, pray for my redemption!
I LOVE YOU JESUS CHRIST!!

[aurinkoinen]

I found Jesus a year ago just like you! Pleasure to listen your story and how things have went. For me the first months as a Christian were horrible, but after I got through all the attacks I got a totally new life!! New home, new job, new spouse, moved into a new city. God made me new and my whole life new after a bad struggle at first. I am eternally grateful that I found Him and He saved me from the darkness of new age spirituality. Thanks for sharing your story and warning ppl from NA. God bless you and your family ❤️🙏

[anitagraham]

May God continue to richly bless you. Your testimony is incredible and so relatable. I’m 56 and despite being raised a Christian, I had been a slave to sin until 2020. Prayers DO work, my parents prayed for me all their life. I’m now so blessed to be a child of God awaiting His soon return. Thank you for ministry ❤

Your episode with Michael Knowles
Convicted me, I am now saved by the lord Jesus Christ
Thank you Angela

[slvihelenevorrenaasand]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It is so full of hope to hear that you were drawn to Jesus without you doing or knowing anything about who he was. It just shows that Jesus is the Truth. I myself have spent a lifetime trying to figure it out and stopped by and had a sniff of the alternative and thought that it is possible to be an alternative Christian. But no! I have gone away from that! I have always been a truth-seeking person and I can't do anything else, then I feel deceived, there is no other way than Jesus, God's ways are inscrutable. I have prayed continuously for my family and friends for 11 years, that is from 2011 when I had an awakening after a close family member became seriously ill. He is now dead but I hope my prayers brought him to Jesus and that I will get to meet him again one day. I have received several prayer answers. But what I hope for most has not yet appeared. I now just want to get to know Jesus more and more, even though I have known him all my life. Don't be embarrassed that you start crying, it makes your story come alive. I am so happy to have found your channel, I now want you in my prayers❣️God bless you richly Angela (beautiful name)❣️Hope many find Jesus through your podcast❣️AMEN

[alexmagana]

Thankyou lord for helping me find this channel hallelujah

[RobertSvestka]

Your videos make me cry a lot and I'm a 28 year old man. That's the power of YAH

Hi Angela! My fiancé and I are huge Michael knowles fans. We watch his podcast daily and love stumbling upon his debates. We came across your interview with him last night and was expecting a saucy debate. We quickly picked up on the fact that you were saved and that this was about your testimony. We loved it SO much and was so happy God gave us something so much more rich than we expected. ❤️ your story really blessed us and we are so happy that you found the Lord. He loves you so much and you are so wonderful for being obedient and sharing your story to encourage others. I also love that your best friend has been praying for you for so long. I have a best friend who I’ve been friends with for 10+ years. She is involved in some of these practices and I’ve been praying for her over the years. Sometimes I feel defeated and pull back. But you sharing that really encouraged me to press into praying for her and reminding me that no one is ever too far gone from Gods grasp. Thank you again and God bless you! ❤️❤️❤️

[redpilled]

Keep it up sister. Keep preaching! Never give in and never give up on the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ!

[justinagestautaite]

Please share more about relationship with your fiancee. Very interested to hear it all 🙏🏻 God bless you ❤️

[genevieverachele]

I admire her so much. Resonates deeply.

[newutoday]

Praise God! Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your story.
