A woman named Isabella shared her testimony about how God met her when she turned to New Age.
Turned to New Age
Isabella, originally from Seattle, was born into a Christian family. However, she did not encounter the power of God in her life. As she grew up, she began to have concerns about her physical health and the appearance of unexplained cuts and bruises further intensified these worries.
“And as I got into being a teenager, I wanted an explanation for those things so I was seeking into the New Age and also seeking from other sources,” she said.
During her search for answers, Isabella realized that the temporary peace offered by the world quickly faded away. It proved to be fleeting and transient. As Isabella’s mother encountered God later in life, she became steadfast in praying for her daughter’s salvation. Isabella’s grandmother also took on the role of being her prayer warrior.
Overcoming New Age
However, Isabella had already embraced the practices of New Age, incorporating crystals, horoscopes, and witchcraft into her way of life. Yet, as the year 2020 arrived, she began to realize that these pursuits failed to satiate her deep longing for answers.
“Nothing was helping me at all and so I needed more. My mom would every single night, anoint me with oil and she was praying for me,” she said.

Then the moment arrived when Isabella faced a challenging decision. She found herself in a relationship where the Lord made it clear that she would have to choose between her boyfriend and her relationship with God.
“So I realized that I wanted God and that relationship had to end. So we ended up ending the relationship on a Monday. But on Sunday, that weekend was Raised to Deliver and I got invited,” she said.
God is Close to the Brokenhearted
She added, “I went just for a distraction. I was very, you know, sad and heartbroken. So I went as a distraction but I got delivered.”
After receiving deliverance, Isabella went home and she kept hearing this audible voice saying, “I’ve been in your families for generations and I’m not leaving you. I have an assignment on you and you’re going to be stuck in it.”
The next Sunday, Isabella prayed earnestly to God while sitting on the pew: “Lord, I need freedom. I don’t want to go home the same.”
During a prayer session, Isabella experienced a manifestation where she fell to the ground. Upon rising, she felt a significant release as she recognized that anger, generational curses related to witchcraft, and depression had burdened her. However, following her deliverance, Isabella came to the understanding that nothing and no one could ever provide the fulfillment she sought, except Jesus.
“I was searching in the wrong places but the only person who could fulfill me was Jesus and He turned my life around,” she said.
