Spiritually I'm progressing quite rapidly. My sense of right from wrong is becoming very sharp, particularly in regard to my own behavior. I thought that I could led things proceed when it comes to my online activities (e.g. selling pornographic books), but I will have to make some changes. I will make announcements as those changes happen.
It's interesting you mention this. I know (apocryphally) at least one fantasy/science fiction author who wiped his back catalog from existence after he was born again.
This recently happened to Doreen Virtue, one of the best selling New Age authors of all time. She converted and stopped selling everything, and (Mostly. The bolded phrase below might be a big loophole.) not taking money from any of the products that her former publishers still sell.
She went from living on a massive ranch in Hawaii to some clammy little house in Washington state.

Here’s a list of some of the changes:
–I’m no longer an author or radio host with Hay House. They have been great about taking my name off of some of the New Age materials. They also printed some publications that I was working on prior to us parting ways, such as the Love and Light Cards which have scripture, the Saints & Angels book, and an upcoming calendar that has a new age sounding title, but is scriptural inside.
–Michael, my parents, and I moved away from the ranch and now live in the Pacific Northwest. The story of this heartbreaking change is in my new book. We were able to take the dogs and cats, but the farm animals couldn’t travel, so they were all rehomed. Here’s a link to download my new book for free. It’s at bit.ly/TheJoyofJesus
–Unfortunately, I can’t get my old New Age material out of print. A lot of it is old books and cards that are still circulating. Plus the foreign rights were sold on my products, and I don’t have the ability to control these items or their websites. In the US, some of my old products will go out of print, and my name has been removed from tarot cards and some other new age products.
–The money from the old new age materials is distributed in a combination of charity, paying off my back taxes, and supporting my volunteer work.
–After reading the whole Bible, I now understand that God wants us to go directly to him for answers and guidance. He does not want us to do any psychic work. As a result, I do not do any readings or use cards or other divination tools anymore.
–When I get a vision or intuition, I go directly to God and the Bible to make sure that it is a message from the Holy Spirit and not from a demon.
–Here is an article with answers to frequently asked questions: http://www.doreenvirtue.com/2018/07/05/f...questions/
–My name is also coming off of my old New Age apps, and the money from those apps is being donated to a homeless shelter. I do have a new biblical app called God’s Calming Promises. You can try this new app for free by clicking here, to see if you like it.
–I’ve also stopped working for Woman’s World magazine.
–I threw away all of my old new age books, cards, artwork, etc., and immediately noticed a beautiful lightness in my home and in myself. This also helped to reduce the spiritual warfare.
–I spend most of my time now doing volunteer work, which is so fulfilling. I found that you can meet the nicest, most generous and genuine people, at volunteer activities. If you want to meet giving friends, and make a positive difference in the world, sign up to do volunteer work.
Regarding angels, I am now convinced that the Bible is 100% true and accurate. The Bible has The Angel of the Lord, the angel Gabriel and the Archangel Michael, and also Cherubim and Seraphim. The Bible is filled with references to the angels. But nowhere in the Bible does it say we should call on angels. It only says that we should pray to God and he sends us angels.
We have to wait for God to send his angels, if that’s his will. But he has so many ways of helping us, in addition to angels. The Bible is very clear (especially in the book of Hebrews) that Jesus is above the angels. We are not to pray to or worship anyone but the Holy Trinity. So I no longer call on angels, especially since discovering that demons often disguise themselves as angels.
Interesting to see even the New Age world getting its heretics. A lot of cat ladies are very mad. Some hilarious Doreen Virtue hate/concern trolling videos out there.
