As I looked at her and her views from a biblical worldview, I became concerned for the people following her. ” Think on that for a moment! She is providing advice, some of it is good, that is based on spiritual concepts that differ fundamentally from ours.


Furthermore, the thoughts and actions of each person in Ayé (the physical realm) interact with all other living things, including the Earth itself.” As a Minister in “New Thought, sometimes known as Higher Thought, promotes the ideas that Infinite Intelligence, or God, is everywhere, spirit is the totality of real things, true human selfhood is divine, divine thought is a force for good, sickness originates in the mind, and “right thinking” has a healing effect. The Yoruba religion “holds that all human beings possess what is known as “Àyànmô” (destiny, fate) and are expected to eventually become one in spirit with Olódùmarè ( Olòrún, the divine creator and source of all energy). As of this writing, I understand that she has a significant Christian following however, Iyanla is an ordained Yoruba priestess and an ordained New Thought minister. Iyanla Vanzant has a television show in which she helps people to “find themselves.” She throws out a few Scriptures to make you think that she’s teaching and equipping from a biblical standpoint however, she doesn’t stand firm on Scripture. Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. Christian Cross 32 (Photo credit: Waiting For The Word)ġ Cor 11:1.
