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.
WE’LL LOOK AT:
1. MARTIAL ARTS- NOT JUST A
SPORT
2. THE RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY
OF MA
3. THE ‘TRADE-OFFS’ OF MA
4. GOOD IS NOT EVIL (YIN
AND YANG)
5. MA IS A RELIGION
6. SERPENT POWER IS THE
SECRET
7. MA DENIES THE BLOOD OF
JESUS
8. MA – A DOOR WAY TO THE
DEMONIC
9. WHAT TO 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.”
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
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.”
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.
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.
