I thought they would be better off without me. So, that night I made the last decision I thought I would ever have to make in my life. I was getting out because I'd had enough.

Then the phone rang and it was a friend. We talked awhile and she asked me if I believed in Jesus. I told her I was involved in the New Age Philosophy, although I still kept a belief in Jesus. I told her that I believed in reincarnation and everything else that went along with the New Age: Spirit Guides, karma, Past lives, channeling spirits, out of body experiences, to name a few.

Then she said, "Debbie, well where does Jesus fit into all of that?" I thought about it and couldn't give her the answer, because I didn't know it. She then told me about Jesus and why he came and explained to me why, he didn't fit into the New Age mold. She also told me about Satan and his many disguises. He is not only known as the Father of lies, but also, the thief who comes only to steal, kill and destroy (see John 10:10). And in 2Cor 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light (niv)

As she was talking, something inside me just clicked and I knew I had been deceived. All this time, I thought Satan was God. On understanding this deception I became mad and the madder I became the louder I could hear Satan laughing.

I got down on my knees and repented of ever following the New Age and Satan. I repented of all the spiritual activities I had taken part in: my tarot card reading, speaking to spirits and everything else I had been involved with. I gathered everything I owned connected with the New Age and ripped and smashed them. I took my tarot cards, ornaments, books, the lot and threw them in the bin.

I turned to God and said, "God, I don't know who you are, or anything about you, but you know all my problems. My life is a mess and I don't know how to fix it. Please help me. I will give you every bit of faith I have." And believe me it wasn't much at all, but that little bit of faith was all I had. I said, "God, I will hang on to what my friend has told me, that you love me more than I could ever imagine and that you can fix my broken life."

From that night on, God picked me up and I realized, that all God had ever wanted from me was that little bit of faith. With that tiny bit of faith God was able to pull me out of the depths of hell, because that's exactly where I was going to that night.

Jesus says in Luke 19:10 "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which is lost." (kjv) But that's not all. He says in Luke 15:7,10 "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over the ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance Likewise I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." (kjv)
