The following article is about the difference between New Age thought and Christianity.

Towards the end of the article I’ll show you how to have more power than any New Ager, any witch, or any other non-Christian, or non-believer who opposes you!

What the New Age offers

The New Age movement is said to offer opportunity for spiritual consciousness and continual growth and transformation. This sounds a bit vague. I think, in real terms, most people are looking to the New Age for happiness, power, status and prestige, love, prosperity, and success. And yes, the New Age movement claims you can have it!

I’m going to call all this ‘glory,’ even though that’s an old fashioned term which is hardly used today. I’m calling it that because the Bible often uses the word.

The word glory appears more than 400 times in Scripture — a recurring theme that reveals God’s desire to lift His people from humble beginnings to eternal purpose.

In this world, the majority of people walk around without feeling much glory in their life! Although they may seek it, perhaps in the form of money or status, for the most part, real instances of glory remain elusive.

But the Bible promises that the spiritual body of Christ will one day share in His glory and rule with Him (Revelation 1:6; 5:10).

From Least to Greatest: The Biblical Pattern

The Bible shows that there is a battle between God’s ways of love, freedom and truth versus Satan’s principles of fear, pride, greed and deceit.

There is a spiritual battle going on. The god of the occult is big into materialism. But worshipping this god leaves people struggling, miserable, dissatisfied and empty.

God has a better plan!

Throughout Scripture, God raises His people from weakness to glory.

• David was a shepherd boy and then an outcast before becoming a king.
• Gideon was the least in his family, yet God made him a mighty deliverer.
• Joseph went from a pit (Genesis 37:24) to a prison (Genesis 39:20) — and finally to a place of honor and glory in Egypt: “And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt…” — Genesis 45:13

God wrote this plot in advance (Gen 37:5). God was with Joseph in the pit and through the years in prison, directing the storyline all the way!

“You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…” — Genesis 50:19-20

The New Age’s Counterfeit Light

Like Christianity, the New Age movement speaks of light, transformation, and awakening — but it redefines the source.
It teaches that divinity lies within, that humanity can ascend to godhood through self-realization and positive energy.

It’s the same ancient deception whispered in Eden:

“You shall be as gods.” — Genesis 3:5

God does invite us into His family (John 1:12), but not through self-exaltation. The difference is profound:

• The New Age glorifies the self.
• Christianity glorifies the Creator.

In New Age thought, glory is found by looking inward and attempting to change our vibration.
In the Bible, glory comes from above — it’s given as an amazing, divine gift from God when we align with his teachings on how to live according to his will. It doesn’t come through self reliance, or vibrating a certain way so we can just attract success without being in harmony with God’s other laws.

God’s Promise to the Body of Christ

The Bible reveals that believers form a single spiritual body — the Body of Christ — destined to share in His Kingdom and glory.

“[He] has made us kings and priests unto God… and we shall reign on the earth.”
— Revelation 1:6; 5:10

This glory isn’t a mere spark of self-awareness — it’s the presence of Christ living within:

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27

Glory Through Suffering

The path to true glory doesn’t bypass hardship. It passes through it.

“In bringing many sons unto glory, [God made] the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”
— Hebrews 2:10

Just as Joseph, David, and even Jesus were refined through suffering, so too are believers shaped through trials. The journey from pit to palace begins in humility and seeking to obey God, and ends in resurrection.

The Nations and the Coming Kingdom

God’s glory isn’t limited to individuals — it will encompass entire nations:

“The nations… shall walk in the light of it… and they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.”
— Revelation 21:24–26

Every obedient nation and redeemed culture will reflect a facet of God’s beauty. The whole world will radiate with His light — far beyond any manmade enlightenment.

“As all of us reflect the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are becoming more like Him with ever-increasing glory by the Lord’s Spirit.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:18 (ISV)

The Final Contrast

The True Glory Awaits

The New Age offers an attractive illusion — a fading glow of self-made light.
But the Gospel offers something infinitely greater: eternal glory with Christ.

What that means is finding happiness, power, honour, love, prosperity, and success within the framework of God’s blessings, rather than self-seeking or self-glorification coming from self-reliance.

“If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him.” — 2 Timothy 2:12

From pit to palace, from prison to praise, from dust to the throne — God’s story ends in triumph for those who walk in His light.

So the question is, will you follow the flicker of human enlightenment — or the eternal radiance of truth and light that comes with the authority of Jesus Christ?

How to Be Invincible

In the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy, kings of Israel were told they must write out the book of the law, and then read it every day of their life. Deut 17:18-19.

In the New Testament, Christians are told they are already king-priests in God’s kingdom! Revelation 1:6.

Therefore, if you become a Christian, as a Christian king, similar principles may apply for you.

It’s a spiritual law that by beholding we become changed. 2 Cor 3:18. Plus, as a man thinketh, so he is. Prov 23:7.

This is a secret Biblical law that helps you become invincible!

When you write out positive Scriptures in the first person daily, you thoughts and personality and your whole life changes for the better. If you set a time to actually DO this daily, preferably in the early morning, it will revolutionise your life.

Here’s an example. Joshua 1:5 says that no man could stand before Joshua all the days of his life. You can write this out in the first person and apply it to yourself. Why? Because God is no respector of persons (Acts 10:34)… so what applied to Joshua can also apply to you.

When you are obedient to God, and align your plans with God’s plans, you will succeed. Joshua 1:8.

Joshua is actually the same Hebrew name for the English name Jesus. Jesus dwells inside true Christians (Col 1:27, Gal 2:20). So if you are a genuine follower of Christ this Scripture can definitely apply to you also. So, get an exercise book or diary for the purpose of writing out Scripture in the first person, and write:

“There shall no man be able to stand before me all the days of my life. God will not fail me.” Joshua 1:5, Deut 31:6, Heb 13:5 !!!

Now find more positive Bible verses. Here’s another example. Write:

“Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world, because I have overcome the world!” 1 John 4:4 (also John 16:33).

There are endless possible verses that you can use this method with.

If some don’t seem to apply to you yet, all the better! Perhaps you read Romans 1:17, and write “I am the righteousness of Christ,” and then feel that it’s a stretch to write this, just remember Christ promised to live in his disciples (Gal 3:27), and said he would do whatever we asked from him. (John 14:13-14).

Take Bible verses from any book, and simply adapt them… “I live by every word of God, not by bread alone.” Luke 4:4

If you do this you are bound for glory, and you will become mentally invincible!
