Uncertainties About the Role of Doubt in Religion
Today, religious faith stands as but one possibility alongside a range of accepted nonreligious outlooks.

Coby leaves wicca to Glorify the King

Live bible study every Wed. 7:00 p.m. Pacific here: http://www.harvest.org/church/index.php/10.html So let’s start with those two words; Fantasy and Control. I’m going to be so bold as to say the majority that follows Wicca want just that, to live in their own controlled fantasy world. For me Wicca glamorized reality. I was in control of not only myself but others as well. I also had no one to be accountable to except myself. If I chose to do evil I’d take the “Three-Fold-Back” theory and move on. If I died I was only going to come back and try better or live as a cherry blossom tree depending on whose theory you wanted to believe. I dabbled in sporadic witchcraft when I was young, about 13 years of age. I started to really study the religion and join a coven at the age of 17. I went into it looking for answers and was pulled in by the oldest lie ever told. Remember that old serpent at the tree? How he offered more knowledge then God, better yet, to BE a God?! Well I fell for it. If the lie keeps working why change your attack plan?! So there I was. Weekly rituals to call the corners or worship that months festival. Whether it be the moon cycles or the birth/death of a season. Maybe even a gathering to combine our efforts to enhance another’s spell. My life was turning upside down. I kept doing spell after ritual after spell to make things right. At this point my father suffered a heart attack, my parents were on the brink of divorce, my health was failing, my “High Priest” boyfriend was cheating on my with multiple women and men, the priestess tried to poison me…and this doesn’t even touch the other spiritual attacks such as demons visiting me. They started appearing as orbs of light, but remember even satan was an angel of light. Do to time I’ll hold off on those details. It was about the time I found out about my boyfriend and the poisoning attempt that I took a step back. How could these people who cared about me cause such pain? Maybe just two bad apples I told myself. I just had to find a new home. A few weeks went by in silence. My grandmother asked my mom to go to church with her. We used to joke every week that grandma was going to her cult meeting. Well my mom went on that Easter Sunday and continued to go. Soon my father started to go with her and I knew the invitation was to be extended to me soon. I denied the first few times. One day I was lonely and decided to go visit the occult store where our meetings were held. Oddly enough I was wearing a cross that my father had bought me when I was younger. Wearing it more as a fashion statement, not a religious one. I had actually forgotten I even had it on. My Pagan friends definitely noticed though! I was screamed at and threatened out the door. That made me start to wonder, what is it about this symbol that made them (or whatever was dwelling in them) go mad?! I took up that invitation to check out what this Jesus stuff was all about. I’m not here to tell you I walked into church, angels sang and doves flew above my head. I criticized everything I heard or saw down to the color of the pastor’s handkerchief. More then anything I wanted answers. The scripture that really hit me at the time was this: MATTHEW 7:7 “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened for you.” I knocked…I pounded. That’s when pieces of the puzzle started to fall in place. I found myself at my computer desk on a Wednesday night after a small groups meeting at church. Staring blankly at my computer, I finally shut it off. I started crying and pouring my heart out to God. Asking him to forgive me for all the horrible things I’ve done. As soon as I asked for forgiveness I felt a presence like I never felt before. It was calm, peaceful and warm. Covered in Love I would call it. My eyes were shut but I sensed a light above me. I lifted my hands to it and I started babbling yet I understood everything. My dead spirit, now alive with Christ was praising him! I’m now 30 years old. How has my life changed? My whole being did a 180. I’ve been delivered from alcohol abuse, released from demons of suicide and depression; by far I’m kinder and definitely more humble. Overall gained a love for life which I don’t believe I ever had to begin with. Let me say this though…I did NOT change over night. What happened that night was the start of a long journey. I was now forgiven, claimed by my Father and allowed to start learning the truth. I still had bad habits and wasn’t the warmest person. For few the change is instant but for most it’s the beginning of the true road to truth. Please allow the Holy Spirit to begin working within you today! God’s Word does not lie and I’m not lying when I tell you that if you search him out he will come to you. I’ve been blessed to see a glimpse of heaven and I want you all to be there with me. Search!
