Say No to Yoga

So they tell you that yoga is a harmless way to stretch your muscles and relax. However, if you are a Christian, yoga is not harmless, in fact, it is harmful for a Christian to practice yoga, in fact it is blasphemy. Eastern mysticism is where yoga came from and it means to yoke together, so the people who believe in all of those millions of gods, can have a place to come together. They all have spiritual gods, but they are not GOD The Creator. God the Creator said that we should not bow down to any other gods, or yoke ourselves with unbelievers. Which means to join together unequally. When you see two oxen, they are about equal, but if you were to yoke together a lamb with an oxen, it would be unequal and wouldn't work. When we do yoga we open up spiritual doors which allows any spirit to enter. God doesn't want us to close our minds and empty them, He wants us to turn to Him and think about Him and have a relationship. Not be weighed down with the yoke of yoga. Jesus came to die for all of us so that we wouldn't have to practice yoga. We can just pray to Him.

Exodus 20:3-5

King James Version (KJV)
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

When people say to open your mind to yoga, they are wrong, because yoga teaches you to close your mind and supress your thoughts. It also goes against God when God tells us to not practice mysticism.

Don't be fooled by Hatha yoga, which is what they call it in the Western culture, it is the same spiritual yoking as the rest.
Jesus said

Matthew 11:30

King James Version (KJV)
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

2 Corinthians 6:14

King James Version (KJV)
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?


 
So to practice yoga is to join together and acquire a mystic burden which Jesus already lifted! So if you want a clear mind, and peace, turn to Jesus and He will give you that peace that you are trying to attain.
 
Your body is your temple and you need to connect it to God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, not some evil practice which is cleverly disguised as "exercise" to the people who do not do their homework. That's what I am here to expose the New Age repackaging of an old practice of mysticism or demon possession and demon worshipping. When we do those yoga poses we are saying that we are opened up and ready for any spiritual entity that would like to enter to come on in!  You cannot contain the Holy Spirit and any other spirits, you do not have the Holy Spirit in you if you are doing yoga. When you continue doing yoga, you will advance to Kundalini yoga. Kundalini yoga is extremely dangerous as you do a series of repetitive exercises which are designed to "awaken the fire of energy" and heat which is at the base of your spine. They do extreme poses which represent zombies, to me, and start to yell and vibrate and they say that they feel itching, burning, trembling, crazy yelling sounds, grunts, flipping and slithering on the floor like a snake. Barking, screaming, laughing insanely, etc. It is not what I would say is anything remotely like a true Christian worship! Or anything that I would say is not insane! That activity shows insanity. So I would conclude that yoga causes you to open up your mind to anything, and it gets in, and controls your actions. That would be a demonic possession in my definition, but here is the definition:
 
Demonic possession is held by many belief systems to be the control of an individual by a malevolent preternatural being. Descriptions of demonic possessions often include erased memories or personalities, convulsions, “fits” and fainting as if one were dying.[1] Other descriptions include access to hidden knowledge (gnosis) and foreign languages (glossolalia), drastic changes in vocal intonation and facial structure, the sudden appearance of injuries (scratches, bite marks) or lesions, and superhuman strength. Unlike in channeling, the subject has no control over the possessing entity and so it will persist until forced to leave the victim, usually through a form of exorcism.
 
 Kundalini yoga explores the dark side of energy and has nothing to do with our wonderful IAM.
In conclusion, I say that yoga is not for Christians, it will eventually lead you to unleashing the serpent coiled around your spine and it's energy forces will drive you crazy! It seems as if there was a serpent in the Garden of Eden who taught Eve how to unleash the knowledge of good and evil, and this serpent is unleashing the same thing...repackaged as..."enlightenment"
