THE DANGERS OF MARTIAL ARTS
-you can slowly boil a frog
but it won’t hop out.
Many people are influenced into
joining various types of Martial Arts (MA) as a means of self-defense or
attaining some physical prowess, not realizing the religious involvement that
is required.
Many Christians, although they
have misgivings about Martial Arts, are largely ignorant as to the spiritual
implications and the historical origins of the basic practices.
This brochure has been prepared
as a means to alert and warn people of the entry into the demonic world
emanating from their involvement in all forms of the Martial Arts.

RELIGION

DO
***************************
“You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup
of devils; you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of
devils.”
1 Corinthians 10:21
MA NOT JUST A SPORT!
Many Christians involve
themselves in Martial Arts (MA) basing their argument on the understanding that
these Arts can be viewed merely as a sport. They say that power, speed and
timing is the sole interest of the Christian Martial Artist. They are sincere
people who believe they have the right motivation, but they are asking God’s
blessings for the work of the devil because these Arts are not compatible with
the word of God.
They deny the fact that
supernatural or mental power is needed and in this they are cleverly deceived.
It is wrongly claimed that a
person does not have to get involved in the occult because he studies Martial
Arts.
MARTIAL ARTS ARE DEMONIC.
Barry Smith in his book “Second
Warning” says of Martial Arts on page 143,
1. “Martial Arts are demonic.”
2. “As you bow to the picture of your master, you bow
with a spirit of violence to the spirit of violence in that man.”
3. “As you do your deep breathing exercises, you
breathe in an eastern spirit of violence. Your breath is actually reserved for
the Spirit of God.”
4. “The continual longing for someone to attack you
upon your clear invitation, comes from a proud spirit of violence that inhabits
you.”
Although most Western
instructors are more likely to promote the sporting and self-defense aspects of
the Arts, the traditional teachers and instructors emphasize the religious
aspect almost immediately.
Either way, the student will
eventually find himself involved in the religious aspect as he progresses to
the higher levels and learns deeper meditation techniques needed for some of
the more astounding feats e.g. resistance of pain.
These techniques teach them
control over every organ of their body at will. This is similar to the power of
Indian Fakirs when they stick pins through their body or stop their heart beat.
There is only one way to reach this point, and that is through practicing the
religious philosophy attached to the Martial Arts.
There is a danger in this
meditation because they place their minds in a passive state and open
themselves up to demonic control. When challenged, many Christians say that
they only do it for the exercise. They cannot see any danger. Yet for many
Christians, there is the very real danger of compromising their faith and
placing themselves in spiritual danger.
RELIGIOUS Philosophy OF MA
All who are involved in any of
martial arts religious philosophy undergo a change in their view of reality.
They tend to take on a Monastic philosophy. Monasm is closely related to
Pantheism which is the doctrine that there is only one ultimate reality i.e.
all things are part of God; evil is good; good is evil; the individual is a
part of God.
Every Eastern religious philosophy
denies the Lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ, His blood atonement and His
bodily resurrection. Their religious philosophy is to try to save themselves by
effort or ' works'.
Christians involved in ANY form
of Martial Arts should be aware that they are giving silent approval to the
religious principles involved. They are defiling the temple of the Holy Spirit
(their body) and “sharing at the table of Belial” through such an involvement.
Paul in 2 Cor 6:14-16 urges “Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and
what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement
hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as
God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.”Any religious exercises connected with Eastern religions goes to “the
god of this world” - Satan or Belial. By taking part, the Christian grieves God
Himself by having the temple of the living God, the Christian, bowing down to
Satan himself.The very next verse gives clear instructions on what to do: “Wherefore, come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you.” (2 Cor 6:17)
THE ‘TRADE- OFFS’ OF DOING MA
People involved in the Martial Arts will find some
or all
of the following problems:
1. Rebellion in their families
2.
Problems with health and finances
3.
Things always going wrong
4. Being prone to accidents
5. Emotional or marriage problems
6.
Feelings of ‘aggro’ to others or things
7.
Problems with their back
8. Extreme sexual thoughts
9.
Blockages to their spiritual progress such as
reading and understanding the Bible
10. Problems with praying.
The Kundalini or Serpent Power of Martial Arts will squeeze the essence
out of your church life, your home, and out of your Christian walk with your
heavenly Father.
GOOD IS NOT EVIL AND VICE VERSA
Wherever Martial Arts are practised, you will
generally find the “double-fish” sign - commonly known as the Yin-Yang symbol.
It is black on one side and white on the other & separated by an S- shaped
line down the middle. On the white side there is a black spot and in the black
side there is a white spot. The meaning being that everything has something of
the opposite in it e.g. all good has bad in it and all bad has good in it.
Now this immediately and
deliberately contradicts what God says about Himself: “God is light, and in
him is no darkness at all.”
(1 John 1: 5).
MARTIAL ARTS IS A RELIGION
Now Martial Arts manuals warn
students not to study the Arts without including meditation, because all have a
deeply religious aspects to them. However this is not immediately obvious and
is not emphasized, but the power and the benefits of MA are not realized until
the student enters in and seeks that level of consciousness. Success and
attainment in the MA’s requires dedication, concentration and hard work along
with obtaining the help of demon spirits.
SERPENT POWER IS THE
SECRET
The principle behind Yoga and TM is the same one
Martial Arts and that is to merge oneself with the "universal consciousness."
This can be obtained by Zen Buddhism, Yoga or Taoism which all involve the
"Kundalini" spirit or “Serpent power”.
The Kundalini energy inhabits
the spine regions of the body and people usually have a lot of back problems.
Christians need to be aware
that Satan has the ability to paint exquisite and powerful images in the mind
and frequently these images are sexually explicit.
MA DENIES THE BLOOD OF JESUS
Martial Arts is the process of
arriving at self-realization and this goes against all Scriptural teaching.
When we are saved we are put to death with Christ in order that He may live in
us and our life is in Him. It is immaterial which form of Martial Art that is
practiced, whether it be based on the doctrine of Naturalism found in Taoism or
the doctrine of illusion found in Buddhism, the philosophical and religious
bases of all Martial Art deny the blood atonement of Jesus Christ.
MA IS A DOORWAY TO THE DEMONIC
REALM BE WARNED!
Martial Arts are not merely
forms of exercises or self defence techniques but are doorways to the demonic
spirit realm.
When a Christian involves
himself or herself in any form of Martial Art, they acknowledge forces of
power, not from God Almighty, but from demonic realms rooted in pagan demonism.
The effect on the Christian can
be dramatic with the desire to pray a thing of the distant past and the desire
to read the Bible slowly slipping away. He or she may find unfortunate things
happening in their life. You have to make a decision - stay in or get out, but you
can’t do both.
It’s like being a member of a
street-gang while attending meetings of the local Keep Our Neighborhood Safe
Committee – you just can’t do it! One or the other!
HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
1. Thank God for showing you that to be involved in the Martial Arts has
been sinful.
2. Confess that you are a sinner and deserve nothing but God’s wrath in
hell for your sins.
3. Ask God to forgive your sins, TRUSTING THAT JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR
YOUR SINS. (Nobody else and no church and their
rules can save you).
4. Ask God to give you the desire to read the KJV Bible & give you the
desire to pray to Him.
5. Stop doing Martial Arts and get rid of all your gear - you no longer
need it.
