I have warned about the New Age view that the body has its own innate intelligence. This idea is behind many alternative and pseudo-scientific practices such as applied kinesiology (where you actually ask the body questions and expect responses from the muscles), many somatic therapies, and more.

There is also a Buddhist idea that the emotions, which Buddhism believes are generated by attachment to your experiences via your unreal identity (there is no real individual self in Buddhism), can be looked at with detachment. This idea was taught in the popular movie, “Inside Out” (see link to CANA post at end) which had input from the Dalai Lama. I warned about this movie before I even knew the DL was involved because I recognized the Buddhist concepts behind it.

These two ideas about the innate intelligence of the body and looking at emotions with detachment are combined in the Metafi app (“Metafi” obviously meant to evoke “metafit”). Even if you don’t have this App or would never consider it, read on to see the way New Age and Buddhist ideas can creep in very deceptively.

This app was recommended by a pastor to his church members. The fact that his pastor supports the Enneagram and that his wife is an Enneagram coach explains why he is open to Metafi. The Enneagram is not just doing damage with false ideas about self and God, but is also paving the way for more deceptions, which is something I speculated last year would happen.

🔶 The first one is “Connecting mind and body.” This idea is very New Age and is used to support many false ideas. The mind and body are already connected, but many teachings based on this idea are either unproven or are New Age.

🔶 The second one, “Get to know your emotions on a first name basis” shows a couple with their new baby. Getting to know your emotions is like this couple getting to know their baby. The emotions are presented as something that are a part of you but are also independent of you (like the baby). The idea that your emotions are generated by you but are independent is from Buddhism (see link at end to CANA post on “Inside Out”).

These images are not chosen whimsically but very deliberately. The message of this screenshot is much like the “Inside Out” movie.

🔶 The third screenshot shows a woman doing Yoga, because Yoga in this culture now means health, fitness, strength, youth, and wisdom. It has been successfully marketed and sold to evoke those associations.

This screenshot also presents the idea that certain parts of your body will relay particular emotions. There is no hard science behind this and it actually is something I heard about in the New Age. Yes, you may feel tension in the back, neck, or head, but no one needs to teach you that. This app is going beyond that to teach that the body itself will be able to teach you about your emotions.

🔶 The next one implies that this will “deepen your self-awareness” so that your body will relay what is going on with you. This may sound innocent but I see it as a deeper foray into self-orientation and false beliefs about the body and emotions (and this will affect the view of the mind in a way that downgrades it).

🔶 The fifth screenshot shows that “deep breathing exercises” and “mediation” is part of this. I would have predicted that even if I had not seen it or if they had not revealed it. This is where such notions always lead because breathing and relaxation exercises will help you meditate, and mediation is the key 🗝 to conditioning your mind to accept all this as true. And most people who do this will accept it, not realizing they have been conditioned to accept lies.

The word “practice” along with the app giving “bell notifications” are tied into Buddhist forms of meditation. Buddhist meditation is often called a “practice,” and ringing a bell is done to initiate meditations.

🔶 The last shot has an intriguing sentence, to “take your self-awareness practice to the next level.”

▶️ Note that self-awareness has now become a “practice.” It is more than just normal self-awareness; you have been initiated into a new understanding of it.

▶️ Note that “next level” implies you will gain deeper knowledge and understanding that can be had only through this “practice.” This is very New Age and Gnostic.

This app probably appears very innocent to most people but I see red flags all over it. All my alarm bells are ringing. The end result of this type of teaching is to bypass the mind and thinking. People are being conditioned already to do that through Mindfulness and meditation (based on Eastern techniques), Yoga, Contemplative practices, and more.

As I always say, the New Age in every case appears positive and beneficial, and, I should add, innocent or innocuous. However, it is the claw in the velvet glove.

Do not download this, or anything like it, please.

“And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be Preached in all the World” [podcast]


“All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14

The true remnant of Christ are known in that they are enduring to the end in the midst of iniquity, abounding and preaching the Gospel of Jesus the King to the world.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”  Mark 16:15

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, admitting I have been living for my own evil glory. I am a sinner. I’ve committed the sin of idolatry, having myself first instead of You. I admit here and now before You that I have been committing the damning sin of spiritual adultery. I have claimed to know You and yet refused to uncompromisingly adhere to Your Word. Here and now, right now if never before, I repent and ask You to forgive my sins and to wash me afresh from my sins in the precious blood of Jesus Christ my LORD. Into Your hands I commend, I submit my spirit, my life, right this moment and ask You dear LORD to fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me to preach Your glorious message of repentance to those around me so that they can receive the forgiveness of all their sins and walk in the times of refreshing from Your holy presence dear LORD. I love You Jesus. I am all Yours and I know You are all mine. In Jesus’ Name amen.

Jesus Promised Judas an Eternal Throne in Heaven but He Chose to go to Hell #shorts [video]

​ Judas died and went to eternal hell, irrevocably as every lost soul shall experience (Acts 1:25). Judas is the “son of perdition” and “perdition” means damnation (John 17:12).

Judas was even sent out with the other apostles to heal the sick, raise the dead, and preach Christ’s Gospel (Matthew 10:1-8). He was real, then backslid and is in hell (Acts 1:16-25).

The Truth about Judas

“And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones (not 11), judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Matthew 19:28)

Judas wasn’t kept and Jesus specifically and irrefutably promised him an eternal throne in Heaven – Matthew 19:28. “TWELVE” not eleven~!

At the time of this divinely-given promise, it is more than abundantly clear that Judas was eternally secure, otherwise Christ would have never given this promise to the “twelve” which includes Judas Iscariot (Matthew 19:28). It is only after this that Judas allowed iniquity in his heart and by his own deliberate will fell by his own iniquity (Acts 1:25; Heb. 3:12-15).

“Saying, I (Judas) have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.” Matthew 27:4

“Eternal security”? Don’t kid yourself. Moral cowards who refuse to take person accountability for their every thought, motive, and deed love this lie. Satan’s first lie – which led to the fall of mankind (Gen 2:17; 3:4).

“For if AFTER they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are AGAIN entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, AFTER they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21

The Majestic Eternal Word [podcast]


“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:19-21

Did you know that God has magnified His Word even above His holy name?

“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Psalms 138:2
