Manifestation vs Prayer | From Occult to Orthodoxy Series (Part 3) | Ep. 116
Manifestation. The Law of Attraction. Affirmations. Vision boards.
And even “declare it in Jesus’ name.”
Are these harmless mindset tools, or are they something spiritually dangerous?
In Part 3 of this series on New Age vs Orthodox Christianity, we're breaking down the spiritual worldview behind manifestation, law of attraction, and even the prosperity gospel, vs true Christian prayer.
We'll be working through:
What manifestation actually teaches at its core
How the Law of Attraction and “co-creating with the universe” mirror ancient spiritual practices
The subtle difference between healthy goal-setting and spiritual manipulation
Why manifestation can sometimes appear to “work”
How prosperity gospel teaching can mirror manifestation theology
And what the Orthodox Christian alternative truly looks like
Orthodox Christianity does not teach us to assert our will over reality, it teaches us to be transformed, to repent, and to trust God with what is best for our salvation.
Instead of “my will be done,” the Christian prays, “Thy will be done.”
If you’re deconstructing New Age spirituality, questioning prosperity gospel teachings, or trying to understand how Orthodoxy approaches prayer, this episode is for you.
