If you wonder if energy healing, scanning, treatments, and other similar practices are permissible according to Scripture, please read this entire article.
Some of you are looking for supernatural healing in the wrong book.
I’m Amy Guenther, and you may know me from Torah Sisters and Torah Sisters Magazine. I keep Torah and follow Yeshua as the Messiah. I am not Jewish. I’m just doing Bible things in Bible ways, trying to be like my Savior.
About halfway through this post, I’ll share evidence and red flags that energy healing and other similar practices are off-limits, according to Scripture. But first, please, please, please read the other things I say about the matter. Don’t just skip to the reasons. (Sorry this ended up being so long. Good grief, I know!)
About Torah Sisters
I’m posting this on this new website because it’s controversial and doesn’t apply to everyone. I told the Torah Sisters community it would be a place of shalom and controversy-free.
I do not plan to talk about this in Torah Sisters Magazine, at the Retreat, on my Torah Sisters blog, or on my Torah Sisters YouTube channel. I suppose Yahweh could change my mind on this, but I have no intention of talking about this on my Torah Sisters’ properties. I will only share the link to this post so Torah Sisters know it’s here. It will be up to them if they come here to read it.
The folks I’m affiliated with do not necessarily agree with what I write in this article and on this website. They include advertisers, speakers, contributors, conferences I speak at, friends, acquaintances, fellowships, etc. I am expressing my views only.
My purpose with this
My purpose is to let the Torah-keeping world see that not everyone thinks participating in energy healing practices is permissible according to Scripture.
- This is an introduction to this side of the issue to get you thinking.
- This is not an entire study on this topic.
- Read this with your Bible open. Don’t skip the Bible passages.
- There’s much more Scripture about this to find on your own.
- I do not have time to answer every objection or question you may have.
- If you are struggling with something I said, study and make your own conclusions. I pray they line up with Scripture. See 2 Tim. 2:15.
- If you want me to hear something from you, email me at editor@WholeBibleHealth.com.
- There’s a good chance I won’t answer your email. I don’t have time to address what everyone wants me to address. I will read your email.
- I’m eager to move away from this topic and return to focusing on the positive things I do at Torah Sisters. This has been hard to write.
- The Bible tells me to protect and defend the weak and oppressed. People who are suffering are being charged money to get relief from their suffering from occult practices and being told unbiblical things. Worse, is that they are being given hope in a practice that goes against the Word of Yahweh, Who they love and serve. I pray this information helps to release them from that oppression.
What is this article about?
I will speak against practices that are not permissible in Torah.
Some of the names they go by include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Energy system
- Bioenergetics
- Life energy
- Scanning, especially remote scanning
- Infusing light information
- Touchpoints for healing
- Frequency healing
- Digital body analysis (in most cases. It’s often very vague.)
- Chakra
- Reiki
- Energy lines, meridians
- Manifestation
- Information-infused crystals
- Healing frequencies, including music
- Divination – Asking the body questions
- Qi/chi
- Varying kinds of numerology, seeking to make things correlate with Biblical numbers or names
- Kabbalah energy healing
- Variations of any of the above, but with Bible-ish words mixed in, which is literal “mixing.”
In a nutshell
In a nutshell, Yahweh created everything, both natural and supernatural. But Yahweh did not give us access to all of his supernatural creation. That’s why the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was off-limits. Satan knows ways for us to access supernatural off-limits things in off-limits ways. Satan gave humans knowledge of how to access the off-limits parts of the spiritual and supernatural creation. That access is called pagan, occult practices.
The pagans learned how to do things that God said were off-limits. They weren’t counterfeiting. They were the first. God made the supernatural realm, but the pagans, led by Satan, created unauthorized access to it. The discussion is not about the supernatural realm. The discussion is about the desire (and legality) of having access to it.
An incident does not create a precedent. Just because you see something supernatural being performed in the Bible, it doesn’t mean all Believers are permitted to do it, especially with pagan practices.
Some people in our Torah Community today are using various methods of that pagan unauthorized access and wrapping it up in a Bible-ish-sounding package and selling it to others to join in. This is wrong.
It’s just one pagan occult practice counterfeiting another pagan occult practice but claiming it’s from Yahweh and Moses. No, the pagans learned it from demons.
People keep telling me, “Amy, you just have to read his book. Then you’ll see it’s true.”
I am reading The Book. That’s how I know it’s not true!
If you agree with me, what should you do?
- Tell others! The Internet is full of people who promote occult energy systems as good. What if many of us started filling the Internet saying it’s not good? Help me show new Torah Keepers that we don’t all agree with this. Stick to the facts. Criticize ideas, practices, and interpretations of the Scriptures. Don’t attack or criticize people. Criticize ideas. See Eph. 6:12.
- If you have an online presence, please use it! I doubt I’m the only one being prompted by the Holy Spirit to speak out about this. (I’m nobody special.) If you, too, are being prompted by the Spirit, now might be a good time to obey. (But not because of me; only obey the Spirit, not me.) See Eph. 5:11.
- I’d love to see people who have promoted this practice remove any promotion of it. That might mean removing videos, blog posts, links, podcasts, book recommendations, etc. We should all be evaluating what we have promoted in the past, even if it’s just on our social media. We all make mistakes and change our minds sometimes. It’s okay. Clean out the leaven and move on. All will be well. See 1 Cor. 5:8.
- Be well-armed. Now, more than ever, we all need to be in the Word. See Ephesians 6:10-13.
- If you’re practicing it, repent. Then move on. All will be well. Don’t let the Enemy or people hold it over you and keep you in a place of shame or guilt. See 1 John 1:9.
- If you have evil spirits in your life, get help. See Matt 12:43-45.
- Pray for elders of congregations, leaders of homes, and for strong marriages. Bringing sin into a marriage, family, home, or congregation causes strife.
The practice is growing.
There is nothing new under the sun. Satan has always been trying to infiltrate Yah’s people by blurring the lines between pagan practices and Yah’s holy Torah.
“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this.” Deuteronomy 18:9-14
“Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:19-23
The practice of energy healing, diagnosing, and manipulation has been around for thousands of years. It’s nothing new, even though people try to wrap it up to sell it in an attractive package. It did NOT originate from Moses or the Bible. Access to the supernatural/spiritual realm like this is not found anywhere in Scripture.
This practice has gained a more significant foothold in the past five years among many in the Torah-keeping community. I looked into it five years ago when I started seeing good, God-fearing people participate in it, and it was clear back then that it was wrong. I did not voice my concerns in a public way. I thought it would go away.
Instead, I’ve only seen its practice and promotion grow. It’s been promoted on numerous public platforms and shows no signs of stopping or slowing down. I regret not saying something public five years ago. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you to those who have already spoken up about this. I can see that it takes courage.
I did not address this because I feared hurting people’s feelings. I’m still afraid of hurting feelings, but this must be said. I’m concerned for those participating in this and for their children. I’m concerned for those curious about it, looking for information, and finding little or nothing against it. So they assume we all think it’s okay. I’m most concerned that folks new to Torah believe we all do this.
I believe a great harvest is coming from people coming to the Torah, and it’s not a coincidence that they will see this practice front and center in our community. They need to be presented with another view of it from Scripture.
A lot of the people participating in this are good, God-fearing people. While this practice creates openings for demons to enter one’s life, home, and family, it doesn’t mean that happens in every case. That is not for me to judge. There are varying degrees of participation. Each case is unique.
Also, I won’t name names, ministries, or businesses. Multiple variations of this practice come from multiple places, including the mainstream Christian world.
What’s the real issue?
I think all Torah keepers know that sorcery, divination, and witchcraft are prohibited in the Torah. The question is this: Is using energy for scanning, diagnosing, treating, and healing a form of sorcery, divination, or witchcraft? I say, yes, it is. Manipulating that kind of energy is off-limits for believers.
Should I be quiet because this is divisive?
No, not on this issue. I don’t have to be silent about this merely because it’s divisive. I’m not silent about why Christians should keep the Torah. I’m not silent about how Christmas ought not to be observed. Why should I be silent about this?
There is a place, time, and way to approach this, but silence is unnecessary. I will not go up to people and just start telling them how wrong they are. I don’t even ask people if they do this. I will just put it out there and let Yah put it in front of who He wants to see it. I don’t bring this up at in-person fellowship unless directly asked, which almost never happens. It’s none of my business who does this.
Do I lack humility?
Having an interpretation that differs from someone else and saying so aloud does not lack humility. I could be wrong on this issue, so I will read every email. So far, I have found no evidence that this is Biblical. And I’ve watched hours and hours of teachings about it.
This is a lot like when I came to Torah. People told me that I was arrogant then, too. I have found that whenever someone interprets sin differently, the word “arrogant” gets thrown around. We must be slow to be offended and quick to forgive.
I don’t speak up on very many controversial matters. But this one is worth speaking up about. People are bringing this into their homes and congregations. Children could be harmed. The Body of Messiah can be harmed. It’s dangerous.
I am not better than anyone. I have sinned, too. Let’s be real.
Remember, it has taken me five years to finally say something publicly. Five years!
My Boundaries
If I were to encounter these practices, I would have boundaries. I may change these in the future. Some people are stricter or more lenient with their boundaries than I am. These are my boundaries as of now:
- I won’t allow it to be practiced or promoted within my home, across my threshold. See. Deut. 6:9.
- I won’t allow anyone to practice or promote it within my gates or on my property.
- When I host an event and rent a venue, that becomes an extension of my gates since I am responsible for what happens during the event. So, I won’t let anyone practice or promote it at my events, like my retreat.
- I won’t allow it to be practiced or promoted at my campsite at Sukkot or another event.
- If it’s being practiced or promoted in close proximity to me or my children, I will move my children and myself away without making a scene.
- I won’t consume or use anything infused or treated with “energy,” “light,” or “frequency.” I and my children won’t drink water infused with this “information light.” The very websites that sell the light call it “magic.” I would instead bring my own food and water. Be careful where you source supplements and other products. A distributor should be upfront and transparent about what practices they perform on their products before they give it to you. To me, this is like food sacrificed to idols. I wish such products had a warning label so people who don’t want to consume them are aware that they have been treated with the “light information.”
- I won’t let people involved in these practices lay hands on me or my children or be in a chain of people laying on hands who practice this or with people I don’t know very well.
Reasons to Run From Energy Occult Practices
Let’s look at several reasons why believers should have nothing to do with the occult practice of energy healing, diagnosing, and manipulation.
These are listed in no particular order. This is also not an entire list. There’s a lot more information out there. Search for it. I’m not going to devote much more time to this. This is just to get you thinking, questioning, and searching the Scriptures.
Sorcery in the End Times
We should be on the lookout for sorcery and practices that are off-limits because Scripture says sorcery will be more abundant and deceptive in the end times. Many of us believe Yeshua is coming soon, so we should be extra careful to watch for deceptions of sorcery more than ever. It should not surprise us that it has infiltrated our Torah community. See Revelation 18:23, 2 Thes. 2:9, Micah 3, 1 Tim. 4:1-2, Rev. 12:3-4, Acts 20:28-31.
Don’t do it because the Lost Tribes did it!
If a practice is being promoted as Biblical, and one of the reasons is because it came from the lost tribes, that is enough to make me run in the other direction. The Lost Tribes were punished and exiled because of their pagan practices. Why would anyone desire to mimic any of the behaviors of the punished tribes?
See Jeremiah 3, 2 Kings 17, Micah 3, Ezekiel 12-13.
Even in the New Testament, we read about exiled Israel coming to faith and having to get rid of their sorcery. See Acts 19:18-19, Galatians 5:19-21.
Dressing it up in Bible lingo doesn’t make it Bible.
Beware of occult practices that have origins in paganism but are promoted with new Biblical lingo. It’s the same ancient pagan practices with new names and variations. Energy healing systems are never shown in Scripture. It’s not in the Bible. Let me say that again: It’s not in the Bible.
If someone says their practice is from God, but it’s not in the Bible, run! Especially if they claim it’s Biblical! It’s one thing to say something is permissible, but if they are going a step further and saying that God wants you to do it, yet it’s not in Scripture, run! See Deuteronomy 4:2.
And no, I’m not going into all the history of energy occult practices. Research. It’s better if you find and learn it yourself.
It’s similar to the Christmas issue. “Is it really that pagan?” Yes, it is.
“Did God really say?”
“But, Amy, it works, and it helped me.”
First, I want you to know I am so sorry if you are suffering. I do not want anyone to suffer from illness, injury, or pain. But still, the Bible says some things are off-limits. Just because a forbidden practice helps in some way doesn’t make it permissible.
The fact that it has helped some people is a big red flag. Where did that power come from? Demons have powers and can do wonders.
Energy systems are being promoted as “It works. Therefore, it’s from God and must be okay.” No, no, no. Just because it works does not mean it’s from Yahweh.
Look in the Bible to see when wonders were done yet aren’t from Yahweh. See Exodus 7:8-10, 2 Thes 2:9, Matthew 24:24, 1 John 4:1. There are lots more passages. Search.
And if you think Satan wouldn’t use his powers in a healing sort of way, read 2 Corinthians 11:14. Satan isn’t always mean to people. He can be nice to you. That’s how he deceives.
Another possibility that cannot be ignored is that the results may be due to coincidence, changing diet or supplements, placebo effect, hopeful outlook, and more. You might feel better, but that doesn’t mean it’s due to God approving occult-energy practices.
It’s terrible to suffer. But that doesn’t make it okay to engage in sin. I won’t eat unclean meat to save my life if I’m starving. That is the real Daniel diet. Obey the Torah, no matter what. Then, see if you get a genuine miracle from Yahweh! I pray that you do and your suffering is relieved!
The practice takes the place of the Holy Spirit.
Any practice that replaces the work of the Holy Spirit should raise a huge occult red flag. Some of these practices involve diagnosing your sin. They diagnose greed, unforgiveness, and so on. Conviction should not come from a machine.
And yes, sometimes the machine can be right. That should scare you.
The Holy Spirit convicts us through Scripture, prayer, your spouse, elders, etc. You don’t need a machine with a database to see your sin.
Just because God made it doesn’t mean we get to tinker with it.
People who say, “Well, God made it, so it must be okay for us to tinker around with it,” do not know Torah well.
I’ve been asked several times, “Well, Amy, do you believe there is energy?” Yes, there is energy, of course. Some forms of energy exist in the physical realm, and we can tinker with them, like electricity and cell phones, which work with digital communication (explainable binary code), and so on.
But some energy exists in a spiritual realm, like the breath of life that God breathed into mankind. And the occult has always been tinkering in the spiritual realm. But it’s off-limits for Yahweh’s people.
This mystical energy is nothing like a cell phone.
Just because something exists and we can access it doesn’t mean we are allowed to.
Want examples of Bible things in the spiritual realm that we technically can but aren’t allowed to access?
- We can talk to the dead, but it’s off-limits. See Lev. 19:31, 1 Sam. 28:5-19.
- The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was supernatural; they could eat it, but it was off-limits. See Genesis 3.
- Divination and sorcery are possible but off-limits. See Deut. 18.
- Fortune telling is possible but off-limits. See Lev. 19-20.
The only spiritual tinkering that is allowed is praying. To access supernatural power, pray. And yes, the Biblical way of laying on of hands and the spiritual gift of healing are forms of prayer, where the glory and power come straight from the Almighty. (There are other spiritual gifts, too.)
Other things that we can tinker around with but should not include cloning, abortion, gender, and weather manipulation. I could go on and on.
Just because God made it and you can manipulate it doesn’t mean you’re permitted to do so.
If a promotion for these practices defends it with “God made it, so we can do what we want with it,” you should flee from it. You don’t have to go any further. They don’t know their Bible. That is enough to know it’s wrong.
It’s New Age
Sorcery and divination practices are very old, but the New Age movement dresses them up to appeal to modern people. You can go and study New Age practices and start learning some of its lingo to recognize it. Google something like “warnings about New Age for Christians.” You might be shocked at what you learn and how much of it has crept into our faith walks. I’ve been guilty, too. It’s very sneaky. It always sounds so nice. But it’s humanism, always drawing people to be their own God, or to be the same as God.
One of the biggest lies of the New Age thinking is that our bodies are perfect, and if we just tap into our inner perfect-ness, we can be perfect.
Our bodies are not perfect. They have not been perfect since Genesis chapter 3. Since sin entered the world, our bodies and DNA have been decaying. All of creation is degenerating. This is, of course, the opposite of evolution. This idea is also a central focus of humanism. New Age and humanism have very similar ideas.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made, for sure! As a nurse, I’ve seen and learned amazing things about our bodies! They display the glory of a Designer and Creator!
But things now are not like they were in the Garden of Eden. Everything changed when Adam and Eve sinned. There is no physical “inner perfectness” to reveal or attain in this life. That is the hope of the resurrection and restoration of all things. It hasn’t happened yet. That’s the Last Great Day after Sukkot!
Also, when you see Scripture promising blessings of health and prosperity for keeping the commands, remember that many of those passages are for the whole of Israel gathered together in the Land, living under Torah rule. Read those passages in context. That is not the time we are in. We are in exile, being punished for the northern tribes’ sin of mixing pagan practices with the Torah.
We will die. We are mortal. The Father does not want us to suffer, but because of sin, we sometimes must suffer and, eventually, die. Praise Yah, we will not see the second death! See Hebrews 9:27, 1 Peter 5:10, Romans 5, John 16:33, Psalm 107:17-22.
Another point made recently by someone promoting this is that, supposedly, the pagans are always copying God’s good things, so if there are energy practices out there that are pagan, it’s because they were copying the one true energy system and healing touchpoints of God. But pagans didn’t copy everything from God and His people. The person who says this has forgotten that fallen angels were on earth interacting with humans. This is a strong possibility for where the pagans could have learned occult practices. See Genesis 6 and Genesis 11.
Occult practices were not learned from God. So, where did the pagans learn about spiritual energy and touchpoints? Which spirit taught it to them? See 1 Tim. 4:1.
Yes, there are miracles in the Bible.
Miracles were done by Yahweh and Yeshua when He chose, where He chose, how He chose, and through whom He chose. People paying money for miracles done on their terms is not the same as the miracles we see in the Bible. Yeshua didn’t do his miracles with books, classes, YouTube videos, step-by-step touchpoints, machines, etc. Sometimes, he didn’t even touch people! It’s not the same as Yeshua’s miracles at all.
If someone says, “We can all tap into the same power that Yeshua healed with,” run. That’s humanism. “We can all be gods.” See Ex. 20:3, Genesis 3:5.
My objection is not that God’s power is evil. Of course, it isn’t. My objection is that we aren’t allowed to tinker with it in this way.
Watch out for remote work.
When you start seeing remote work being done, you should be concerned that an occult practice is involved.
I saw one practitioner doing this by having a client send in a sample of urine, hair, or other organic material from their body. Then, the sample will be scanned at the office so the client can be diagnosed and treated. Later, that same practitioner changed what gets sent in. Instead of organic material, the client now has to write some answers and their signature on a piece of paper and mail it with a picture of him/herself to the office to be scanned by the machine and diagnosed.
This is witchcraft! Research remote occult practices and where they come from. They don’t operate in the physical realm.
Paul did some supernatural acts in Acts 19:11-20, but an incident does not create a precedent.
It’s also interesting that the method changed. I wonder if it was changed to be more palatable. That’s the whole purpose of Satan. He always wants to make sin palatable and attractive. See Genesis 3:5.
The energy is supernatural and mystical.
One of the big selling points of energy healing is that it supposedly works in the natural world. But it does not. It’s not electricity. It’s not sound waves. It’s not a vibration.
I recently watched a video of someone promoting the energy stuff, and they admitted that it’s not electricity at all. They called it an “energetic signature,” and that was the extent of the explanation. They acknowledged that it’s not what scientists are measuring at all. The machines are measuring something, yes, but they don’t know what it is. They can never fully explain it.
This isn’t operating in the physical realm. It’s operating in the supernatural realm. It’s off-limits.
That’s why they use weird, vague words like “frequency,” “telecommunication,” and “information.” And if you ask, “What kind of frequency?” or “What kind of information?” they have no further explanation. They don’t know. Even if they talk around and around, they never really can answer what it is. That’s because it’s spiritual.
Frequency is not a thing by itself. You can measure the frequency of something, like a sound wave, an electrical wave, or an ocean wave. Frequency is just a measurement of how fast waves are moving. You don’t just have “frequency.”
Our cells give off a small amount of electromagnetic energy, sure. However, measuring it is difficult and unreliable, at best. Hulda Clark was one of the founders of the modern version of frequency radionics and did extensive work in the field. In 2000, in her Syncrometer® Science Laboratory Manual, she wrote that several variables can affect your bandwidth, such as body temperature, eating, time of day, rainy weather, and feeling sick. (See Exp. 25 in her manual.) How can this be safe? How can you diagnose and treat with so many variables changing the results? With those kinds of variables, it’s doubtful it’s even real. Again, if a machine got it right, it got lucky, or the power came from a spirit.
Using biofrequency to determine diagnoses and treatments is straight from New Age mysticism. Google it.
There are electromagnetic frequencies, yes. But that’s not what this is. Some vibration therapies can treat things in the natural physical realm, but that is also not what this is.
I know there are electrical currents in the body. As a paramedic and emergency room nurse, I used 360 joules of electrical energy to defibrillate the rhythm of dying people’s hearts! But in that case, the energy means something. It has an actual definition. And it works in the natural physical realm. I have a basic understanding of how calcium channels work with atomic-level chemistry in the membranes of nerve cells to move electrical impulses at lightning speed. It’s a miracle of creation how our nervous system works! I also love how the intrinsic node of my heart creates its own electric impulse, known as automaticity. Our bodies are amazing! This is why if someone has too much potassium (hyperkalemia), they can have a heart attack. Potassium levels affect the electrical function of the heart muscle. Potassium ions are how our electrical nervous system works. Chemistry makes electricity in our nerve cells, and it’s amazing!
All of that works in the natural physical realm. Animals’ bodies work similarly. Do you know what makes humans special? Our soul, our nefesh. The breath of life from our Creator makes us unique. We ought not to mess around with that.
Side note: I fear we are building a modern-day tower of Babel. Man has always wanted to be like God. See Gen. 3:5. With today’s tools, computers, and machines, we can access and tinker with the supernatural like never before. At the same time, languages are no longer confused. We live in a dangerous time. Protect your home and your children from the modern-day towers of Babel. See Genesis 11.
Side, side note: I’ve been told that I’m fearful and biased because of my background as a nurse. I admit I may have a bias. We all have biases. That is part of why it’s taken me five years to speak out. I have doubted my point of view because of my bias. But I actually have a great appreciation for and participate in natural healing modalities. While I still have some appreciation for some aspects of mainstream healthcare, I have also been personally let down by it and have seen firsthand the harm and sin in many aspects of mainstream medicine. My bias may be there, but it’s small these days.
Even so, IF I have a bias about mainstream healthcare or natural healthcare, it doesn’t matter. This energy stuff is not natural health. It’s often offered alongside natural health services, but it’s different. Be discerning.
“But, the testing all lines up.”
Another selling point is that, supposedly, the energy system matches Biblical themes, like language, alphabets, numbers, names, and so on, so it must be from God. But those names, numbers, and correlations of them in this way are not from God. The use of numbers, words and machines in this way was invented by people. These are invented practices.
There is a lot of numerology behind these invented themes. The tricky thing with numerology is that if you do enough number gymnastics, you can find any correlation or pattern you want. This is why the Christian world loves looking for secret Bible codes and claims to find them. Lots of money has been made with numerology and Bible codes. The basic premise of a popular energy method is nothing more than a new “Bible code” wrapped in different lingo.
Let’s explore the numerology further. Here’s an example of how this is done:
- Use numbers from Hebrew letters.
- And if there aren’t enough letters, add some ending vowels to make it work. (This is not commanded in the Bible.)
- Use those numbers to assign a number to some other Bible words, like people’s names, portion names, name combinations, books of the Bible names, and so on. (This is not commanded in the Bible.)
- Assign numbers to a pagan stuff like touchpoints, channels, pathways, birth numbers, astrology, etc. (This is not commanded in the Bible.)
- Use a machine to find a correlation between the numbers of the Bible stuff and the pagan stuff. (This is not commanded in the Bible.)
- If the numbers don’t correlate the first time, do gymnastics with them, like adding them together, dividing by the number 7, trying a different set of Hebrew words, using a different language, setting one aside, and calling it “special,” renaming the touchpoints so they have new numbers, and on and on and on. (This is not commanded in the Bible.)
- If it still doesn’t correlate enough, try changing the settings on the machine so you measure it differently, or do number gymnastics with the frequency numbers and so on. (This is not commanded in the Bible.)
- Eventually, with enough trial and error, “Voila!” You invented a correlation between the Bible and pagan practices, so you think you can call your new thing “Biblical.” (This is not commanded in the Bible.)
- You can even say your system is “tested” and “verified,” and maybe even “re-discovered,” or “from the Holy Spirit.” (This is not commanded in the Bible.)
- And to really convince people that it’s from the Bible, add a hypothetical story about those letters and a Bible character to explain how the whole thing became hidden so that you can “discover” it again, just like God wanted you to, and then charge money for it. (This is not commanded in the Bible.)
You can find any “correlation” you want if you search long and hard enough. I will say that again: If you search long and hard enough, you can find anything.
Test results can be made to say whatever you want them to say. This happens in mainstream science all the time.
I’ll choose a tourniquet, thank you.
Some energy practices promote supposed “life-saving” measures involving specific placement of hands for energy manipulation, such as for hemorrhage/severe bleeding, stroke, and so on.
I’ll use a tourniquet for hemorrhage instead, thank you. Click here to buy a great tourniquet. (That’s an affiliate link for Refuge Medical because their tourniquets help people in more ways than one.)
I’ll also be applying pressure with my hands to the wound to stop the bleeding.
And no doubt, I’ll be praying to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the entire time I’m applying that tourniquet. I will pray for the legitimate power of the Great Physician, according to His will. He hears me. And then He decides if He will heal. I will do my best with a tourniquet, but I will not force my will by manipulating Yahweh’s power with mystical energy touchpoints. See Matt. 6:6, 1 John 5:14.
It‘s not laying on of hands.
If an energy modality is being promoted as if it’s the same as laying on of hands from the Bible, run. Many energy practices involve placing your hands on yourself or someone else in specific places on the body to heal different ailments.
Watch for manipulative questions like this: “Don’t you think this is what Yeshua was doing?” “Don’t you think this is what the apostles were doing?” “Aren’t we supposed to be like them?”
No, that’s not what he was doing because the Scriptures don’t tell us so! Even the laying on of hands by the elders is never described in this way. Never! People were healed by Yeshua in many ways because His power wasn’t obtained through physical methods. Sometimes, He wasn’t even there! Yeshua can even heal remotely.
Of course, I believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, but it is not commanded in Scripture to exercise the healing gift in this way! Scripture is the authority. Don’t be swayed by questions that start with, “Don’t you think….?,” “What if..?,” “Could it be that…?”
Also, be careful who you allow to lay hands on you and your family. Not everyone should be laying their hands on you or your children, especially if you don’t know them and where they are spiritually. Being “nice” is too low of a bar for letting someone touch you this way. There is a supernatural force in it. It can be for good, such as elders praying for someone, but it can also involve evil. Which spirit are they laying on you? See 1 Tim. 5:22, 1 Tim. 4. Also beware of chains of people laying on hands. Do you know the spiritual condition of everyone in that chain? Protect yourself and your family. Research evil spirits being transferred by laying on of hands.
Side note: I’ve seen a touchpoint energy system pitch that implies that it’s the same as laying on of hands from Scripture. Question: Can you imagine if someone came to elders asking for prayer and to have them lay hands on, and they asked for their credit card first?
You don’t have to dig deeper to know it’s wrong.
I’ve heard this argument a few times, “You cannot have an opinion against it until you have purchased and read an entire book, watched hours of videos, and even met with practitioners who do this and had sessions with them to try it out yourself.”
Yes, I can have an interpretation of Scripture that reveals this is wrong without all that. Watching even one video about it is enough to see it goes against Scripture. Why would I want or need to keep going deeper into it? If an hour of someone stating why it’s okay according to Scripture proves all their points actually go against Scripture, what else is needed to explore? See Deut. 12:29-32.
For the record, I have watched dozens of hours of videos from people teaching this. I didn’t need to. The first video I came across went against Scripture. You don’t need to watch hours of videos, either.
If a proponent of this spends a great deal of “air time” defending the practice as not being occult and that you just have to try it to change your mind, that should raise enormous red flags.
They want you to go deeper because the deeper you go, the more you can be deceived because it sounds so nice. You’ll be impressed with a big book with lots of technical-sounding lingo, you might be intrigued and curious, and ultimately, you may be “helped” by it. Then, you’re hooked.
But that “help” may come at a high price. Did you know that people afflicted by evil spirits often have physical ailments? The very thing helping you with one ailment may be causing another, making you have to go back repeatedly. It’s a vicious trap that’s hard to escape. If you have mysterious symptoms and you’re involved in the occult (even if it’s well-intentioned), you should consider that an evil spirit may be afflicting you.
We underestimate spiritual warfare. See Mark 9:20, Job, Mark 5, and more.
It fails every test.
Energy healing and the like fail every honest Scriptural test.
They also fail any fruit test. If someone had the solution to every ailment, how could they put it behind a paywall? Of course, a worker is worth his wages, but if it is real and from the Bible and God, it doesn’t belong to any man or woman. Selling it for money would be more morally offensive than a pharmaceutical company withholding the cure for cancer! It should be given away freely, and if it actually worked, that person would be well supported, I’m sure.
That is the only fruit test I will examine, although there are more fruit tests. See Matthew 7:15-20 (noticing the word for “fruit” includes the fruit of the loins, one’s children, and household), 1 John 4:1, Gal. 5, James 3:17, Is 8:20, Deut. 13:1, Jer. 23:16, Ez. 13:9, Rom. 16:17-18, and on and on.
These practices also fail any kind of Spirit test simply because they failed the Scripture test. The Holy Spirit never contradicts Scripture. Only the Scripture test is objective. It trumps all other tests.
Phrases that are red flags
Watch out for these red flags. They are phrases that sound nice, but if the whole thing doesn’t line up with Scripture, it’s still wrong. These are not exact quotes but paraphrases.
Red flag manipulative phrases that you might hear variations of:
“Minister.” The word “minister” is used in sales pages for classes of a popular method, probably because the method is branded as being Bible-based. So, then, I would assume only mature believers who demonstrate good fruit are allowed to pay the expensive course fee to become practitioners of the system. If the class is to train someone to minister spiritually with Biblical, spiritual energy, then surely they interview applicants and reject anyone’s money or participation in the course who doesn’t meet the standard of a mature believer who can rightly handle powerful spiritual energy. And if they really are becoming an energy minister, they should also meet the vigorous fruit checks in 1 Tim. 3 and Titus 1. I assume they carefully screen course applicants before they pay hundreds or thousands of dollars. Otherwise, you could have all kinds of non or weak believers who are deeply into occult energy practices masquerading in their communities with a Biblical copy of the same thing, doing it in the name of God and claiming to have the power of Yeshua (because that’s the sales pitch). See 1 John 2:19, Matthew 24:24, Acts 8:9-24.
“People reject this because they are weak with fear.” Fearing Yahweh and the curses of disobedience is not weakness. It’s walking uprightly. We should fear dabbling in the occult. Fear is a manipulative word.
“If you have faith, you’ll go along with it.” That is unfair and manipulative.
“This is from the Holy Spirit, so if you deny what I’m saying, you’re blaspheming the Holy Spirit.” Seriously? It fails the Scripture test, which means it fails the Holy Spirit test. Be leery of people throwing around accusations of “blaspheming the Holy Spirit” against those who disagree. Condemnation is above their pay grade. By saying that people who disagree with them are blaspheming the Spirit, they are telling you that if you don’t join in, you’re going to Hell. That will get you on board. Ouch.
“God made it, so it’s okay and good for us to do.” No, no, no.
“All mainstream medicine is evil, but this is from God.” No, not ALL mainstream medicine is evil. Some is, but some is not. This is a manipulation technique to make you HAVE to go to the mystical world of energy healing. Try natural health. Lots of natural health is fine. In some cases, you may need to use some aspects of mainstream medicine with caution.
“If you go to a mainstream doctor instead of using my system, you’re putting your faith in Satan.” That is a manipulative lie.
“God revealed it only to me, and it will only cost you money.” Sigh.
“I’m an expert, so you should trust me.” No, you aren’t an expert. I don’t trust experts, anyway. I think we all learned that lesson during Covid.
“You use a cell phone, so why wouldn’t you use this?” A cell phone works in the physical world with binary code of 1’s and 0’s. It’s totally different. Watch out for them throwing around familiar words to make you comfortable. It’s manipulation.
“It’s just like a lie detector test; the body knows things, and the machine picks it up because it’s electromagnetic.” No. A polygraph measures physiological factors. These include heart rate, perspiration, blood pressure, respiration, and skin conductivity (the galvanic skin or electrodermal response). When people are under stress, they sweat, and the salty sweat interrupts the conduction measurements. It is determined by applying a small current. They don’t measure a current coming from the body but are measuring the current the tester applies to the body. Polygraphs do not measure electromagnetic frequency. It’s completely different. These misleading statements make you feel comfortable by mentioning something familiar to you. Also, research the moral debate of convicting someone based on the questionable accuracy of polygraph machines, especially regarding measuring conductivity. Some examiners don’t even use that factor. They will only measure the other physiological signs.
“Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Just because you get rid of pagan stuff doesn’t mean you have to get rid of this.” We get rid of pagan stuff that is used in worship or to replace Yahweh. This energy power replaces Yahweh. I don’t think some people understand where and why we choose to draw certain pagan lines. It’s twisting Torah. Comparing pagan occult practices to physical intimacy between a man and a woman doesn’t make sense. And yes, I’ve seen that comparison made.
“The pagan ways of using energy healing are all counterfeits of God’s energy healing system, which I just re-discovered.” The word “counterfeits” is thrown around a lot. They are all the same pagan thing. None of this is from Yahweh.
“You can’t make this stuff up.” Actually, you can. An “impossible coincidence” of results can be entirely made up. You can make this stuff up.
“It works in Hebrew and English, so it must be true!” Well, what about the rest of the world? If it’s from God, it’s for everyone, right?
“The more people who work on someone, it’s exponentially better.” Ew.
“We have a new name for this procedure. Now, we call it this…” It’s a red flag when they change the names of things or start calling it something different. They may also remove or try to hide old videos, as well, so you never notice they started calling it something more palatable and comfortable. Sometimes, they change the procedure, too.
“How could that work?…” Just because they don’t understand how something in the body functions doesn’t mean it must be due to this mystical energy. Such as, “How could the heart pull blood up from the feet? They say it’s a pump, but how could that be true?” That person doesn’t know about valves inside of veins. Be careful with questions that lead you to say, “Oh, yes, your thing must be the answer. Everyone else is lying.” Dig deeper. Or walk away.
“But so many good people do it. It must be okay.” No. Truth is not determined by the majority on a wide path. Walk the narrow path. There are more people against this than you realize.
Finally, watch out for technical, complicated, smart-sounding jargon you don’t understand. I’ve already heard from people, “I don’t understand everything in the book. It’s over my head.” Well, if you don’t understand it but can see that the pagans are doing the same practice, why would you do it? If you don’t understand the technical aspects of what you’re involved in, then you don’t know for sure that it is truly different from the identical-looking practice of the occult. And if you can’t be sure, why would you risk it? You shouldn’t just trust someone with this. It’s a big deal. No matter how nice they are, how smart they sound, or how many Bible-ish words are thrown around, you should stay away if you don’t fully and completely understand every detail of the technical stuff. Those are the details they claim make it Biblical. So those are the details you need to verify. Sorcery is not permitted in the Torah.
When any teacher says something like, “I’ve discovered something Biblical that no one else has ever known before!” he should be open to intense scrutiny of his new teaching. And we should all examine it in depth. But if it’s based on “correlations,” and it looks and smells just like pagan occult practices, and no one can even understand the entire teaching, your “false doctrine” radar should be going off big time!
A final red flag is to notice that if the teacher’s pitch involves:
- Mocking those who disagree (and getting others to mockingly laugh at people who disagree.)
- If the mocking doesn’t work, accuse them of blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
Run!
Closing
I could say so much more, but I’m so tired of it after looking at it so intensely. My heart is weary of the darkness surrounding it, and after I post this, I will try to leave it all alone. I hope it doesn’t cause a stir, but I know it may. I pray that it stirs people to look more closely at these New Age but ancient occult practices and to walk away from them. Getting the community a little stirred up to abandon these practices would be good, albeit a little painful, for a while. Please cover me and this message in prayer. I prefer shalom for all of us.
But unity and shalom are not my most important goals in this life. Worshipping Yahweh according to His instructions and lifting up the name of Yeshua are what I want more than anything. Their glory is being stolen with systems that claim to be able to attain and use the power of Yeshua on demand with occult practices. This is the spirit of the antichrist.
I know you may have questions or rebuttals. I’ll read your emails. I am aware this wasn’t a complete study on it. There are many other fuller studies out there online. Look for them. I don’t have time right now. Even if you present an argument I didn’t address here, that doesn’t make you right.
I’m not here to win a debate. This is way bigger than debate class skills and research skills from 11th grade. This is life and death, curses and blessings. This is recognizing the spirit of the antichrist and having the oil in our lamps, and being a clean bride when our bridegroom returns.
This is also about being content in all circumstances, even if we don’t get physical healing in this lifetime.
Important Encouragement for You
I’m so aware that at the heart of this discussion are hurting people seeking relief. Your eternal life (if you are born again) will be so much better than this life. Your suffering here is temporary. He loves you. He sees your suffering. Keep crying out to Him and pursue healing through Biblically sound methods. And through your suffering, praise Him. Read the entire Bible. Start at the beginning.
Finally, if you are suffering, please watch this two-minute video to encourage you. I wrote this and turned it into this video in early 2023 for the Torah Sisters Retreat. It’s very appropriate for this message. I pray it helps you. https://youtu.be/FC9TQZLS4Jw?si=TPwRNadWeN84-0vY
Thank you, Amy. We are in agreement.
Thanks so much Amy for stepping out to make a stand on this topic.
I was shocked when I first heard this kind of thing being talked about by Torah people as if it was okay.
I hope people will listen, be warned and stay away. Dangerous stuff…
You’re a brave woman to speak out… and I know you are doing it in love and concern for the body of Messiah.
Blessings
judeneed@gmail.com
Thank you Amy. I feel the same way. I sometimes think, “if they get offended when you question them, then it’s probably not of YHVH.”
I agree 100%. It shocks me that believers fall for this deception. Thank you for stepping out & cslling evil, evil.
Thank you so much for writing this. I agree with you 100%. I’ve always felt something was not right about energy work. May Yah bless you. I’ll see you at the retreat!
Thank you. Could not agree more
Amen, thank you for taking the time to articulate this well-researched article. As for specific pagan practices, I remember years ago after hearing about those tests being led to look up voodoo. This is a “dark magic curse”: “A poppet is commonly understood as a doll that bears a resemblance to the target of the curse. In fact, it can be anything that symbolizes your target, including a photograph, some of his/her hair, or even a piece of paper with his/her name on it.
If you collect hair or nail clippings from your target, be sure that you do this without being noticed”. I think the guy behind gathering those weird materials probably knows exactly what he’s doing, is spiritually attacking those with truth. I hope everyone that sees the reality of this prays for you and your children to be spiritually protected by Yah’s hedge and bubble of protection, day and night. You’re doing so much good by exposing the darkness.
Amy, scripture trumps the sorcery being propagated on followers of Yahuah today. It reminds me of the “church fathers” who injected greek philosophy into the words of Yahuah and His instructions to us. Neoplatonism. There are only 2 requirements in scripture, especially looking at revelation 12:17 and 14:12. We are identified by 1, guarding Yahuah’s commandments and 2, having the testimony of Yahusha. That’s it … Period!
Thank you Amy for your diligence in your research, your heart to obey Yah whole-heartedly, and for being bold and courageous to share your findings with us. I am keeping this article for info to share with people in our Biblical Counseling program if they have any resistance when dealing with any Counterfeit Spiritual Experiences in their life. This is a critical point for people in opening doors that allow demons to gain access to them. The Lord bless you Amy, and keep you, and protect you.
I respectfully do not agree with this message. Yeshua said even greater things we would do than he did because we are in him empowered by the Ruach. I believe the knowledge of healing is coming to light as believers in Yeshua Messiah are aligning with Torah and rejecting the lies that Torah is a curse. This alignment and choosing to eat from the Torah which is referenced in Proverbs as being the Tree of Life for us this side of Eden is bringing the healing through wisdom which is holy to our weary bodies. As the light of the millennial kingdom is drawing near we should watch expectantly for healing to come forth because as Isaiah tells us the life span of humans will increase and a man will be though young if he dies at age 100. All of creation growns for the sons of God to be revealed that the restoration might come…as Paul says in Roman’s 8:19-21. We attribute this knowledge and power to YHWH the one who heals. Western medicine denies that our bodies are spiritual and does not seek cause and effect relationships to our illnesses nor to our cures. Everything is just by chance…that is wickedness. I praise Yah that we can be free from the curse of western medicine and the gods it has made out of mere mortals.
Can you please explain which of the categories she listed as wrong or forbidden that you agree with? And why?
Thank you Amy! I appreciate your courage to write. I believe these practices can become especially enticing if being healed becomes an idol above obeying God, and trusting His timing. I know as a woman with some chronic issues and Mom of multiple special needs kids. We long for healing, and try to learn how to apply principles that facilitate it, but ultimately God’s promise of healing will come in His time and without going outside His ways.
Beloved sister Amy, I praise Yah that in the right time He has manifested this boldness and courage in you – for surely those lacking courage shall not enter the Kingdom (Rev 21:8). My wife and I are concerned for those who have invested in these things within our local community, and tender hearted and kind and as good a reputation as they seem to have, the marks of the leaders of this new movement bear a fruit all too evident for those with eyes to see the cunning chicanery. After reading your article in full, I believe you’ve found the right words to sound the trumpet over the sleeping city and we are grateful for this edification.
Yahweh bless you and keep you, Yah make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you, Yah lift up His countenance upon you and bring you shalom.
PS – to those who read this article and consider the scriptures specifically and still find fault… what is that thing rising up inside you? Is it the Word that is offending you or a persons words? If the Word, and you’ll have to take a honest look at it, does it always bother you so much to have the light of scripture shine upon you?
I ask myself these questions every time I read Psalm 119. I wonder to myself, “am I this writer? Could I share truly empathetically the thoughts and intents of the author of Psalm 119? If not, I’ve got some things to work on.”
Wow! I must be living under a rock, I’ve never even heard of much of this. Thank you so much for writing this and letting us be aware of these things.
I agree wholeheartedly with all you’ve said here. Thank you for never shirking from speaking the truth. Shalom!
Thank you Amy for writing this article. Its not easy to point this sort of thing out, it should be easy for those involved in it to see it, but they’re not seeing it for what it is.
It’s been disturbing for me to see these sorts of things coming into the Torah Keeping community, and being embraced. I no longer wonder how the Israelites were led astray into syncretism, I can see it happening with my own eyes, not just in the main-stream Church but among Torah Keepers.
I am so thankful that early on in my own journey into deception, Yehovah showed me that I was using my experiences to validate my experiences, rather than allowing the Word of God to be my guide.
At first I really didn’t think this article applied to me. But I think I know who/what you are referring to. I bought the (very expensive) manual and read through it. I’d like to think I’m a fairly intelligent person, but I was thoroughly confused-just could not make sense out of it. I figured it’s because I’m not a medical person, but reading through your article I can see what I couldn’t see before. Thank-you for being bold enough to put this out there! I am praying protection over you sister.
Please disclose the manual that you are referring to – this is too important to leave unsaid.
Thank you for your insight. I have been asking God questions and you have answered them.
I 💯 agree! Well said!
Great article! Thank you so much for all of the time and effort you invested to put this together and share it.
100% agree, including on the recommendation for get trauma supplies from Refuge. 😀
Very well written article! Thank you for being so bold to speak the truth in love. This is not just a problem among the Torah following community but also is in mainstream, evangelical communities. Satan comes as an Angel of light and packages ideals and practices with beautiful gold bows and ribbons. It’s enticing and we are commanded to test everything. Another added warning is if someone says we need to listen to them because God spoke to them in a special way and they know more then what we can see on the pages of Scripture…. RUN! They are wolves in sheep’s clothing. (They also very well could just want you to buy what they are selling.)
Be blessed and may Yeshua be praised!
I agree with most of this. Many of these are clearly not from the Father. However, musical healing (and frequency healing b/c music is a frequency) have been scientifically proven to promote healing. For instance, gallstones or kidney stones are broken up with frequencies in medical procedures. Who knows what other body mechanisms this works on naturally without human alteration? If you look at a cymatics board, the signature of various tunes is shown, some harmful and some helpful. As with anything, prayer and faith in Yah is the true way to find healing, but there are more and more things we are coming to understand that are not satanic or New Age. The frequency of His voice spoke the world into existence, so I see nothing wrong with the earth He created having elements to it that are beneficial for us.
Shalom,
Thank you for taking a stand for TORAH. We are truly living in the last days as we can see the evidence of it!
GOD Bless You For Your Obidence!!
This is my view as well, JE.
I am extra cautious about anything spiritually charged, or ‘off’.
Years ago I was introduced to a local facility that utilized numerous devices for healing based upon frequencies- some pulsed frequencies of sound, some of vibration, some of light. I was SUUUPER leery of even going in at first.
Most devices/machines were based upon the research and findings of Royal Raymond Rife. There is extensive data proving how living organisms respond to specific frequencies, and how this can eradicate diseases. This is NOT the same as using ‘healing energy’ such as reiki. It is scientifically, under the microscope proven, nearly 100 years ago. However, it was not profitable and much of the original work was destroyed by BigPharma between the 1930s-1960s. All of that history is easily found, including newspaper articles reporting cancer being eradicated by Rife’s frequency machine.
The local facility I mentioned operated by donation only- it was run as a ministry to help folks heal. I ended up volunteering there, and I can guarantee that when weird spiritual stuff came in, we took up spiritual warfare against it. It was open for 18 years, shutting down during Covid.
This whole area is a fine line requiring much discernment. Amy, I think you did a fine job conveying your concerns and laying out scripture to raise awareness and caution. It is better to err on the side of caution. If anyone wants to explore any healing modality, regardless of where it is being promoted (pharmekia is sorcery too), they should first be consulting God’s Word and asking Him for wisdom and discernment.
I agree with you that everything must be tested and caution must be employed because each believer’s body is a Holy Temple. A believer who desires to walk in God’s commands will be chastised for involving themselves in occultic practices. I so appreciate your heart desire to protect people from lies and to warn the body of Yeshua.
This subject is worth building your knowledge on; because of your current knowledge and experience, you have a bit of a head start.
I do not know exactly where to draw the line. I’m not sure what is involved in “pressure points” as a practiced discipline though I did discover that wearing fit (but not tight) elastic bands around my wrist helped immensely with motion sickness and massaging the thumb where it is attached and connecting to the rest of the hand stopped migraine symptoms from advancing. These kinds of things must be physical. Not sure if this is on the edge of what you are talking about or not. Some natural self care is just that.
There are many gimmicks and lies. We do need to be on guard about who we are trusting for our healing. It can be exhausting to constantly be spiritually attacked, especially when a person is already suffering physically.
Thank you for taking the time to address this concern. I will pray for your covering and for lies to be exposed.
What about Linguel Neural Testing and bio feed back? I just watched a video on it and it didn’t seem like it was from the occult.
How are all of these wrong, yet MANIPULATING the body through pharmaceuticals (and yes, they affect your energy) is acceptable? That’s an awfully hypocritical stance. Do you take (or give to patients) medication for their headaches? I was recently given an antipsychotic (but they never told me that’s what it was) for a severe headache. I literally went insane, having the worst panic attack…. And I’ve never experienced a full on panic attack before. Did they not manipulate my body and mind giving that to me? Are you not manipulating the body’s reaction to anaphylaxis by giving an EpiPen? Is labor not manipulated by induction? All of these things are form of manipulation, ie witchcraft, and often these chemicals are created through animals we’re not supposed to ingest, and even blood products. But alllll of that is okay, and yet recognizing that trauma is stored in the body and working to release it without a single man-made chemical is a problem?
Now, I’m not saying I think all energy work is acceptable. There are many things that are not, and there are Bible verses to prove it. But working through body parts to release stored trauma through prayer and laying hands? That’s where we draw the line? Where are the Bible verses stating anything specific to any of the forms of energy healing is wrong? I’m open to this information, as I’ve avoided it for a very long time. But I realized I was judging a healing practice with zero knowledge of it, and thus what exactly is wrong with it. I’ve begun to look into Reiki, and when practices by a Christian, it can absolutely be done in faith. Where is a researched (understanding of the practice itself) Biblical reproof of Reiki? I had more apprehension when the doctor brought up giving me Compazine, with no knowledge of what it was and no time to pray about it than I did praying for days for discernment on my friend doing a reiki session on me. I diligently prayed for discernment and as I felt Him say to look into it, and I did, in doing that (again, when done with the right practitioner) I felt confident it can be faithful. How is it that, as someone who does clearly hear His voice, He gave me discernment that Compazine is dangerous, without me even thinking to pray about it, yet I allowed it and was instantly having a reaction and regretting it, but He didn’t give me that feeling upon asking for clarity on reiki?
Certainly talking to the dead and astrology are wrong, as there are specific Bible verses condemning them. But energy healing? Where are the verses? There are definitely verses condemning some things on this list, but not all.
I am specifically speaking on reiki here. I am a massage therapist and have come across many forms of energy healing over the years. I can tell you that for a practitioner to be able to practice they go through an entombing – a reiki master (level II) will stand before them and chant specific words and phrases while tracing specific symbols over their crown. The practitioner is told to repeat the phrases (sounds, not words) and to trace the symbol on the palm of their hands, a specific number of times, to initiate the energy, all the while starting a “prayer” in their thoughts to have the great white spirit of the universe to blanket them with protection and the client/person about to receive treatment. This ritual is done at the start of every treatment, silently, and the tracing of particular symbols on the palm of their hands hand are done to ignite/intensify the energy.
THIS comes from YHVH?!
Not a chance.
As a massage therapist, I never experienced that. In fact, they discontinued reiki in my school after my first quarter there.
Thank you so much Amy for bringing this to everyone’s attention. Satan comes as a deceiver in many forms. These are just some of his deceitful practices and people are believing that it comes from Yah.
In the end times many people will be deceived and it’s happening now.
Thank you for your courage, discernment ,and insight!
Things that make you go hmmmm…
Thank you to the person who actually named a name so I might have a clue of what was being discussed here. This is something that truly “bugs” me. When putting out a warning, put out the warning! Don’t beat around the bush.
That said, the nurse and investigative nerd in me has been piqued. I will be looking into this further as time allows.
Have you heard of Life Wave? The light patches? I tried one and it took my pain away nearly instantly but something is holding me back. I am not as Biblically knowledgeable and would love your input.
Sister with all due respect shouldn’t you go to the person in question? And you have bunched things in which this person does not recommend such as reiki this person is against such practices. This is actually slander at the highest level and not anything to do with the Holy spirit. It’s your opinion.
Agreed. DR. MONZO doesn’t approve of Reiki at all. It is sad that instead of banning together to learn and discern together, there is a direct pointed attack on him, as outlined by naming him in the Facebook Post connected to this.
“ If someone had the solution to every ailment, how could they put it behind a paywall? Of course, a worker is worth his wages, but if it is real and from the Bible and God, it doesn’t belong to any man or woman. Selling it for money would be more morally offensive than a pharmaceutical company withholding the cure for cancer! It should be given away freely, and if it actually worked, that person would be well supported, I’m sure.”
Is this not what happens in the very system you work for? Western med is unaffordable for the majority of Americans! That’s a paywall. Shouldn’t doctors and nurses work for free based on this statement alone? But when an energy worker charges MUCH less than a doctor, only enough to be able to survive, they’re in the wrong? Make this make sense!
I truly love you and your thoughts, and I’m thankful for this article to think about and pray on. But I cannot not bring up the hypocrisy of working in Western med and how that system in and of itself does the very things you’re criticizing energy healing of doing. If it’s wrong in energy healing, why is it okay in Weatern med? It’s wrong in BOTH.
Western med, is full of drugs and dangerous vaccines, yet for some reason that is ok?
Pharmaceuticals would be considered against scripture, yet as a Nurse, Amy doesn’t see this?
If I stop taking my thyroid pill I will die. Does that mean God wants me to die because my thyroid hasn’t been healed through many prayers?
I think that extremes are dangerous and this topic, while intended to shed light, may only end up hurting and destroying things that could have helped people.
We are all learning and that needs to be remembered. We all need discernment.
So attacking a Brother should be reconsidered and instead going to him for understanding and a discussion would have been a better approach.
Yeah I don’t think anyone (including Amy) is objecting to the idea that healing (in any system) should have a price tag on it.
But if it’s Yah’s will for you to be sick, what do you go to a doctor for? What do you go to Western or natural or whatever for?
Rather may we choose the narrow path.. Psalm 119:67, 72
Thank you for speaking out, Amy! Now is as good of a time as any. We keep seeing this topic come up, and it is easy to understand why it can be initially attractive, especially to those of us with painful ailments. This message needs to be shared and I appreciate your bravery and honesty and commitment to all things of Yah! This has been a major encouragement to me. Thank you for the research you’ve done and the scripture you have shared to get us started on our own deeper research path. Great discernment is necessary now more than ever. I pray we will not lean on our own understanding, but acknowledge our Father and let Yah direct our paths. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy, but not dressed in a red suit with pointy tail. The enemy is subtle and tries to look like the one true Light, Yeshua, yet can only be an imitator. We must guard Torah and guard our hearts!
Thanks for sharing your convictions. We all need to speak up when we see something that could be dangerous to the community. You mentioned ‘infusing light information.’ Is this the same as using red light panels? What are your thoughts on Red Light Therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation, Low Level Laser Therapy, LLLT etc.? Do you think that we should avoid this according to Torah?
This took courage, Amy, thank you! I SO MUCH agree!
“You don’t have to dig deeper to know it’s wrong..”
This is exactly how we felt about PCR & Covid 💉. This is how we feel about any 💉. There is graphene ( as well as the dirty laundry list) added to all injectables including insulin, numbing & pain killing 💉. ALL Pharmakia is sorcery.
Many took the gene editing therapy and no longer are biologically children of Yah, they now carrying LUCIFERese in their temple. I cannot trust what anyone who entertained the PCR test or said YES to the shot. The enemy also comes dressed in white lab coats spewing lies.
Some learned after Covid not to trust the Medical Mafia, some of us have been led away from pHARMA & the MM long ago.
However, those who took the shot did so knowingly this is concerning on many levels as it influences every avenue of their lives, including judgement. Those who partook have added a third parent to their paternity line, the Government. This affects behaviors and their mind.
You have made some good points however, before I can give any credence to this or any article I would need to know the Vaxx status of the writer. It’s that simple, test all things. Including the writers judgement on deception. Covid deception.
I have sinned, I repent daily, I am a provider within the medical industry. I am an impartial witness to the atrocities in this field daily. Yah have mercy.
I can not speak Amy’s vaxx status but I can tell you the author of the book that she is adamantly bashing is antivaxx and has developed protocols to reverse the effects of the plandemic vaxx.
Thank you, Amy for teaching this. I agree 100%.
Thank you Amy. Your information is so helpful. I was a massage therapist (LMT) for nearly 20 years and worked primarily in Physical Therapy offices. But the massage therapy profession is drenched in occult and ‘energy’ work. I steered a clear path when I could. They often won’t be reasoned with and can be pushy. When all else fails, a quiet prayer as I smile and walk away was best. I love your work and the effort you put to share such important subjects with us. Again, thanks a bunch
I noticed you did not mention Pharmaceutical products which we also use to correct ill health, and which also use frequencies to correct health problems.
While it is true, we need to get to the root of the problem, through forgiveness and repentance, that we may be truly healed, we sometimes need interim measures to sustain life so we can work on purging the sin which causes our ill health.
You have no idea how timely this is. The fellowship I attend has been promoting some of this. Even blowing shofars at people to heal them. Makes me cringe inside for them. Prayers please about sharing this with the leadership. It is so necessary.
Thank you for the article. My question sister, Torah family is this…frequencies. Good? Bad? Indifferent?
Research everything. Does not our voices… carry tones… that translate to a frequency that can be reacted to as… Fear? Happiness? Calmness? Compassion?
Did not King David play the harp? Did not the notes, the tones… the frequencies cause a reaction? Calmness? Relaxation?
Aren’t Hebrew vowels/markings .. tropes … used to translate certain words into musical notes? Possibly into a song? Thinking Shema.
Then if you want a deep dive. Ready? Research how prior to WWII, all churches/cathedrals had huge bells. Organs. It was common knowledge back then, the notes/sounds/frequencies … caused.. calmness… possibly healing.
And stones. Did not Yah create as well? Used in Breastplates for the Levitical priests? 12 stones, 12 tribes? Exodus/Revelation?
Discernment is key. How YOU use is key as well. There is NOTHING in the Word that says these stones hold any healing powers… they are simply beautiful, to hold, to own, to look at. The Word strongly tells us engaging in a distorted belief /attached to witchcraft/superstition as DETESTABLE …
decoration is OK.
Distorting HIS creation is just bad… thinking the rainbow as example.
Think about it.
I was called out of this a little over a decade ago. I had become a practitioner in a Christian organization and was working on my advanced level certification. I had not been really practicing for a couple years when it was impressed upon me by the Ruach that I needed to turn from it entirely.
Thank you thank you! We just had to research this stuff as our Christian co-op had a mom step in to teach what she called Quantum Physics. “Quantum” is a big red flag word as well. They have just replaced the word “magic” with “quantum” and “energy.” Well, I didn’t know anything about this, but the Holy Spirit had my alarm bells going off. We spent hours researching all of this, and came to the exact same conclusions that you did. It is dangerous and is seeping into the church.
We had a meeting with our co-op leaders and some other parents and after laying out all of our research they agreed and cancelled her class. BEWARE. They are called Quantum Activists, and they have an interest in reaching your children. She claimed it was all scientific to the parents, but in class the kids were practicing breathing exercises so they wouldn’t panic when they opened themselves up to the “universal energy” they needed to just let flow them. It was very deceptive. It is just a modern-day witchcraft wrapped up in a new package. Amen Amy.
Thank you for having the courage to say this. I was involved in some energetic practices a number of years ago. I felt Abba impressed me to look into the origins of this stuff. I was appalled and horrified that I had ever gotten involved in it at all and worse, had used it on my family. Needless to say, we repented and got rid of everything that involved those practices. I’ve been concerned about seeing this stuff crop up in the Torah movement. Thanks for speaking out!
thank you, Amy. It is a field we need to research and investigate in the scriptures. Unfortunately I have witnessed first hand how one who started down this path with “energy healing” has been led to angel (taroh) cards and “christian” yoga. This person refuses to see anything wrong with any of these practices and tells people they are God given gifts. My heart hurts for this person, but more so for those the person is leading astray.
I appreciate your insights and efforts. I agree, we have to be so careful in this field. However, I don’t agree with a lot of what you said, coming from first hand knowledge of who you are referring to and most of the practices within that. I don’t want to dive deep, as you aren’t looking for debate, but what I’ll leave you with is this: There is very easy to follow, easy to confirm, understandings of the laying on of hands practice you speak of. It is based on polarity of hands, which again, is easy to identify just like you said that cell phones are used based on codes of 0’s and 1’s. As a practitioner with a lot of study and continually praying to Abba for discernment and truth (and I believe I was led to this through Him and seeking Him – in knowing Who He is, truly), this has been the most honoring way of caring for our bodies I have ever come across in any form of healing and aligns with so much of Scripture, it’s beautiful. It is so contrasted from the current medical system which uses frequencies and extreme force to “heal”. I truly, truly hope that anyone seeking Yah’s ways will give a very unbiased journey into these practices from the SOURCE and decide for themselves, not just take this post for it, as there are numerous assumptions that are simply not true and could be easily corrected if effort and openness to conversation with the sources was present.
P.S. Something to consider in Numbers 5. Yah directly tells the priest to imprint water with frequencies and then for the woman to drink. I don’t think He would instruct the priest to do this if it was occult or against Yah’s will.
16 ‘And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord. 17 The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water. 18 Then the priest shall stand the woman before the Lord, uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 And the priest shall put her under oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse. 20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”— 21 then the priest shall put the woman under the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman—“the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your thigh [a]rot and your belly swell; 22 and may this water that causes the curse go into your stomach, and make your belly swell and your thigh rot.”
‘Then the woman shall say, “Amen, so be it.”
23 ‘Then the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall scrape them off into the bitter water. 24 And he shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to become bitter. 25 Then the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand, shall wave the offering before the Lord, and bring it to the altar; 26 and the priest shall take a handful of the offering, as its memorial portion, burn it on the altar, and afterward make the woman drink the water. 27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall be, if she has defiled herself and behaved unfaithfully toward her husband, that the water that brings a curse will enter her and become bitter, and her belly will swell, her thigh will rot, and the woman will become a curse among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself, and is clean, then she shall be free and may conceive children.
“Yah directly tells the priest to imprint water with frequencies…”
-given that you took the time to quote the scripture, you do know that’s not what the text says, right?
Amy, I am heart broken over this character assassination. I am reminded of the account of Hannah weeping and praying silently, yet moving her lips, and Eli accused her of being drunk. Things are not always as they appear to be at first glance. If Eli hadn’t approached her personally, he would not have known she was crying out to Adonai for a child. It would be wise to first speak to someone personally before you hurl such accusations of sorcery, witchcraft, etc. towards them. There are many things in the Bible that were done and we do not understand. The writing of a curse on paper before putting them into the water for the trial of bitter waters in cases of suspected adultery, the command for Moses to craft a bronze serpent for Israelites to look at for healing, the prophet Elisha lying on top of the dead child to resurrect him back to life! That sounds like touch therapy! Peter’s shadow healing, Paul’s handkerchief healing, etc. I am also reminded of the account of when Yeshua was accused of casting out demons through the power of Beelzebub. Please reconsider the impact of your platform and influence. Your accusative article is on the move. If your concerns are valid and true, then I pray the Holy Spirit moves to correct those who need correction (including myself). However, if your concerns are NOT valid nor true, I pray the Holy Spirit reveals it to you and lovingly corrects and reprove you. I pray you will retract your article as soon as possible should He do so. Remember, the tongue has the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21). I believe that extends to the typed word as well.
Spot on! Thank you for getting this out there. This information needs to be shared.
Amy, I am assuming you are also opposed to all modern medicine as well, just wanting to make sure you are consistent in your argument?
Amy, I have been sitting on this for days now and just could not settle my spirit without responding. You are telling me you RESEARCHED the lost tribes of japan, you RESEARCHED electromagnetism, you RESEACHED biophysics and sound etc? And now your INTERPRETATION just so happens to need to be shared on the heels of that show last Friday night? That is based in FEAR at best, and SLANDER at worst! This man is doing his kingdom calling, just as you are doing yours through Torah Sisters. Have you met him? Have you actually studied the book? I have been in a study group for 2 years with the book and cannot say I have complete grasp. You simply have not applied the same weights and measures throughout your article. You are creating more division in this community than you are warning folks of the “pagan” system of Healing. You are putting sweeping generalizations out there while cherry picking scripture which is bible study 101 of what not to do! Several comments are asking about pharmekia which is rampant in western medicine as is the DNA changing injection of the 2020 plandemic, yet you did not speak out against those pagan practices back then. To need to create a whole different website to spread these false claims is hiding behind a shield of FEAR especially if your conviction by the Ruach is to WARN people- why would you not warn them on your current platforms? Too much doesn’t add up here. I hope you are truly continuing to seek guidance on this and not just “lean on your own understanding”… Why is it too hard to believe that Yah could have this person seek Him diligently and supernaturally learn this information?? Is that not HOW we even have THE WORD, through divine inspiration and revelation? Should we also discount The Creation Gospel paradigm by Dr Holissa Alewine? She received that as divine revelation that no other person has before her. Should we be concerned she is teaching something of pagan origin?! Of course not! I hope you do not let this CONTROVERSY sit out here too long and the damage is done. This article should come down until you have sat face to face with the author of the book and truly know his heart.
Hello Amy,
First I thank you for having the desire and the boldness to share your thoughts and opinion on this topic, but I must ask if you first spoke directly to the person who teaches these areas of healing and then moved it to the Bema if necessary. If not, then we must all step back and reassess the motive behind this worldwide email.
With over 30 years of nursing experience and 14 years of walking in a natural wellness path with many hours of learning, hands on experience and walking with the Holy One in this journey, I feel safe to say that all of your hours of research show many statements that are false.
I’ll start with this one simple statement: “Everything is made of atoms which contain electrons.” This includes dried herbs, fresh flowers, cell phones, sound, pharmaceutical drugs, and even the words we speak and the words we write.
The Cybex dynometer and Bio- my kinesiometer have been utilized since the 1960s as tools for doctors and practitioners to muscle test. They have been showed to be beneficial. Technology has grown with leaps and bounds in these last days and that includes the medical industry and the naturopathy field of wellness.
Just because we aren’t sure how it works doesn’t mean it is evil.
We know from Scripture we can be used as healers and God spoke the worlds into being. All matter came originally from spiritual energy. We are made from dust which is made from atoms Genesis 2:7 and we can be joined unto the Lord as one spirit once we receive salvation and the gifts. 1 Corinthians 6:17.
We also know that the enemy Hasatan has tricked many and shifted many things to look evil when it actually has healing powers.
Let’s also remember Acts 5:15 with Peter walking past the sick.
And Acts 19:12 with Paul and his handkerchiefs and aprons carried healing powers.
You stated you would no longer speak about this topic as you dumped it here and then left a spirit of fear on many people who will read your newsletter today or in the future.
Once we release something we must expect to have conversation. Deleting comments etc is showing a lack of value and love towards one another. We all have the God given right to speak, even if we aren’t all in agreement.
We in the body of Messiah, are to speak up and hold each other accountable.
I pray you personally speak to Dr. Monzo and consider taking his course and ask questions in a classroom. He is very good about answering questions.
You made a comment about deleting comments. Are you saying comments on this website are being deleted or are you referring to the Facebook post linking to this website?
Amy,
For those of us who, like myself, struggle with various health issues, and can be drawn and pulled into various methods to find healing, this article is a great help and warning!
The reality of all of this, as far as I can determine, is that our ‘flesh’ seeks after these visible, seemingly tangible ways to find help for our ailments. It’s something ‘we’ can ‘do’ to help ourselves. We can easily be convinced that this or that comes from the Father when it is cloaked in Biblical words and is feeding a hunger for healing!
We can be deceived so easily, can’t we?
Thank you! I have been wanting against energy and frequency modalities for about five years now after meddling with it. I was in desperation to heal my baby and the enemy came at me with every direction possible with these sorts of energy modalities. Other experiences with frequency medicine and so forth too. These all came from “Christian” naturopathic docs too! Too many believers are falling for these occult practices. I am proud to see you talk about this bc I am seeing it in our circles too. It needs to be said. Warned against. Praying for your protection sister. I watched an interview of you in Life Podcast and hope to meet you one day. Yahweh bless you and keep you and your family.
What are you going to do when MedBeds are introduced which use frequencies to heal disease and Western Medicine will not be practiced except in an emergency.
Look up Little Light Studios on You Tube. They are not afraid to talk about all the things related to the occult and how we need to stay away from it. Many interviews with former people who were in these practices. How all of the movies are occult based and lead people in that direction. Also talks on yoga and the martial arts and so much more. We are surrounded by it!!!
The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil were banned from us, so that we would not eat of the Tree of Life AFTER eating of the other one.
Yah didn’t want us to live forever eternally in a sin state. Please get your article’s foundation correct.
We already ate off the evil tree. We already had knowledge of both. Living forever in sin if we ate off the tree of Life was why Yah KEPT us from the Garden.
He banned us to protect us from that fate.
He wasn’t banning us to keep us away from learning His ways in the Spirit realm.
I think your article starts off with the wrong slant and just takes off from there.
There are many evil and awful things in the New Age realms and in witchcraft, I agree
However, not everything is evil. Yah made all things, and we can trust Him to guide us and protect us.
I have learned over 25 years that sometimes I am wrong. And what I thought and adamantly defended turned out to be incorrect once I knew more about the word.
Please don’t divide the Torah family. We are all on a journey with Yah, trying to unlearn lies we have been programmed with.
Thank you Amy for posting this. You are spot on on this entering into our lives. We were told that wolves would come in sheep’s’ clothing. ANYTHING that is opposite or does not agree with Torah and the NT then RUN, RUN fast. I saw this coming back in the 90’s when I had some massage therapy. It was being practiced and eased in at that time. And I never went back. I was so uneasy about it all and prayed about it and the HS said RUN. Take a deep breath. Step back ….remember the battle is the Lord’s. You have been the Watchman on the Wall and now folks it is one them to turn left or right. Yes they can get better….but at what cost……eternity. Much Love and Blessings.
My husband (who teaches Torah) and I just took the time to go over your article, line by line and look at every verse you quote.
Unfortunately nearly every verse is taken out of context for what the chapter is talking about or the overall message of the word. It is cherry picking at it’s best.
And now people are reading your article and likely NOT looking at the scriptures in context, they are just taking your word for it.
While we can see that the verses you use DO speak about witchcraft or sorcery etc, there was not one verse you quote that speaks of energy or energy healing.
What you say is completely correct when it comes to witchcraft and avoiding worshipping Yah in pagan ways etc….however you fail to prove that DR. Monzos information is pagan or evil.
Instead your article is slandering him and his medical practice, and that is more concerning considering that you have never talked to him first, which is the biblical outline for addressing “sin” ( sin as you see it)
I pray you speak to him. Take down this article and do more research. The destruction you could cause is immeasurable and very concerning.
Not to mention lumping him in with other questionable practices, as if he also promotes them. That is really awful.
You have no distinction between who or what you are referring to and to make a generalization like this about him is disrespectful and honestly a terrible way to treat a Brother in Torah.
Dear Torah Sister, thank you so much for stepping up & stepping out, ‘into the troubled waters’. The first time I heard of New Age was in my early 20s & that was over 30 years ago. Not much has changed, as to the lies & manipulation, to convince impressionable minds, that any form of worship, as long as you mention Jesus or now Yahweh, then it is just fine & acceptable. To the secular world, yes but to Yeshua, NO!!
Someone brought to my attention (another yt-ber) that the first New Age or New Thought deception was with Eve, in the Garden, from the devil. We all know that passage. She was convinced that it was just fine to partake of what ‘looked good’ in her eyes. Well, that didn’t work out for her, her husband & of course, the rest of mankind. Same old deceptions, new people.
Sadly but honestly, we have been warned this would happen. The world & mainstream religions, Judaism or Christianity, will hold tight to their man made & devil inspired ideologies.
As many are being duped into these traps & demonic bondages, many others are being freed & released from these same traps & bondages, Praise Yahweh!!
You did the right thing & Yahweh will continue blessing those that adhere to His teachings & keep the faith in Him. Shalom Torah Sister!!
Thank you, I knew it was wrong but I thought it was just me. Now I know Gd kept more people from bowing there knees.
Thank you for this informative teaching! In 1 Samuel 16:14-23, David played the harp to calm King Saul and the evil spirits left him. In this same way I believe that music has healing frequencies that can heal. Unfortunately the enemy knows this as well and will use it for his use. I will pray along with you all that people will not come under the bondage of these occult practices and those who are will be delivered.
