Confessions of a former witch.

I saw this tweet and thought: how arrogant does someone need to be to assume they know anything about billions of peoples’ motivations?

This person is unfortunately bitter and biased in her assumptions about God and people with faith.

I actually found God (or he found me?🤔) when I was riding a wave of success building my YouTube channel as a witchcraft influencer. Business was booming. I had thousands of dollars in ad revenue from videos, popularity and admiration from 40,000+ subscribers and constant requests for paid tarot readings. I didn’t need to leave home to earn a living. The future was paved in gold.
However, I could tell that something wasn’t right. Everywhere I looked the world seemed to be collectively losing their minds. I was curious about thoughts on why and the people I found making the most sense and looking the least ruffled happened to be Christians.
I still wasn’t planning on giving my career away, but I was keeping an open mind.
God had other plans.
I started to get random bible verses pop into my mind which applied to whatever situation I was in or looking at. I would google the phrases and find out where they came from… word for word perfect. I hadn’t read a bible in almost 20 years.
When I decided to buy a bible after a month of that, I started getting vivid nightmares and strange activity in my house which even friends didn’t want to be around. It took 3 attempts to get a bible after getting misdirected on my phone and car problems. Once I had it, the trouble didn’t stop. Every Saturday night I would be deprived of sleep with relentless nightmares and only able to rest once it was too late to make it to a church.
Eventually, at 2am on a Saturday night in October 2020, I was wide awake in fear when suddenly everything went still. Instead of creepy, insidious hatred watching me from the shadows, the presence of God filled the whole room. I was free and at peace, but also confronted with the reality that I had broken God’s heart. Yet, He had never given up on me. All he wanted was reconciliation and He was prepared to save me from my own hubris to do it.
Now the ball was in my court: renounce the life I was profiting from, or knowingly throw my lot in with the damned who had already turned on me when I wasn’t toeing their line. It was a no-brainer, but I still struggled to make that leap of faith with a public announcement. However, I was editing the video when I got a call about a job I had applied for in March, 8 months earlier. I was beginning to learn that God would not leave me high and dry if I trusted Him.
Some people only look for God when they’re desperate, that’s true, but God has never ceased looking for them. Don’t let the cynics, who think they’re intellectually superior because of their depressing views, put you off seeking and asking.
