Today Najma is talking with Mellisa Rupp, who is a healing and deliverance minister and author of books: Weaponized Prayer and Keys to Healing. They discuss the spiritual dangers of alternative and new age therapies.

The Bible illustrates the connection between disease and demons and tells how Jesus healed people through casting out demons. Melissa reminds us that God is our ultimate healer and that when we seek healing through certain alternative mediums, you can leave ourselves open to demnic forces.

Alternative practices such as Reiki and Yoga and meditation are common place today, yet, as Melissa explains, they are doorways for demons to create suffering in our life.

In this podcast, Melissa outlines:

·         Relaxation practices Christians should avoid

·         The potential dangers of yoga, pilates and martial arts

·         How common treatments, such as acupuncture and hypnotherapy, may cause spiritual harm

·         The pitfalls of using DMT, sananga drops and shrooms

She also explains what Christians who have participated in these therapies and activities can do to mitigate the harmful effects of these practices and be totally free of them.

In this episode Najma is talking with chiropractor, Dr Rachel Hamil, about holistic approaches to health and well-being. Too often we think about our health only when we get ill and need to find a remedy, but what we really need to do is aim to maintain good health and well-being all the time. It is this which will help us to lead productive and fulfilling lives.

Dr Rachel introduces us to the 3 phases of health: mechanical, biochemical and emotional/spiritual; explains how blockages can lead to ill-health; summarises the effects of the toxins in our environment and food chain, and discusses the deep connection between emotional and physical health, which mean that limiting and even generational beliefs can hold your back from achieving good health.

We also speak about the differences between conventional (allopathic) medicine and functional/holistic medicine.
