I wanted to address your question about the godly use of energy but didn't have time last night. It's a really complex subject, and each technique should be considered carefully, because when you start to dabble in something with demonic elements, you open the door to the devil to mess with your life. Boy have I experienced this as a former new age teacher. Even in my Christian walk I've messed up and tried something I wasn't sure about. I've really experienced the demonic oppressions that come with that!

It's like this. If I gave you a drink of water, and put a small amount of poison in it, would you drink it? After all, it's just a little poison. Of course not! So when a technique has any element in it that is in any way in opposition to the word of G-d - avoid it.

So for example - anything that involves psychic ability or thought projection which is expressly forbidden by God would not be in line with God. (I am convinced that psychic knowledge generally comes from satan, though there is valid revelation and knowledge that comes from God). An example of an ungodly medical practice would be kineseolgy, reiki or the pendulum practice. Anything that involves chi in the concept would not be in line with God. That's a concept that involves spiritual principles that oppose God. If you do a search on chi, you will see it makes an assumption about what the energy is that's being impacted. It's in opposition to what God says He is and we are.

Now there are uses of energy in the world that are based on Science and the laws of God. For example, electricity is a form of energy. If we harness it by utilizing the laws that God made around electricity, we can use it in healing so long as we don't mix ungodly principles with it. For example, before I came to Christ I tried a chi gong machine. It was an electricity run machine based on energy theories related to chi gong. I have repented of that and would not use it again.

I believe that a reasonable rule of thumb is to avoid anything with spiritual roots that oppose the truth of the bible, and if something is harnessing God's laws of Science without opposing any principle of God - it's probably ok.

There are some excellent books out there on how to identify occultic practices. Personally I avoid a lot of things that are "iffy". I would rather be doing what pleases God, and not opening doors to the devil to give him a right to do me harm.

Most of all, the most important thing is to seek God, and trust Him as our healer. He will take care of us! I hope this helps! If you have any specific practices you would like to address, let me know and I'll let you know if I've researched that one or have any info on it.

Blessings to you!
