The Holy Bible says God "made the world and all
things therein," and that "in him we live, and move, and have our being."
(Acts 17:24, 28)
It is the Spirit of life from God who
gives life:
And after three
days and an half the Spirit of
life from God
entered into them, and they stood upon their
feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw
them. (Revelation 11:11)
New Agers/occult healers teach that it is in
Life Force energy that we live, and move and have our (well) being:
Ki is the
life force. It is also called the
vital life force or the universal life force.
This is the nonphysical energy that animates all
living things. As long as something is alive, it has life force circulating
through it and surrounding it; when it dies, the life force departs.

New Agers regard
Life Force as the nonphysical,
intelligent energy that animates (give life to) all living things:
Ki
-- The Life Force
Ki means the same as Chi in Chinese, Prana in
Sanskrit and Ti or Ki in Hawaiian. It has also
been called, odic force, orgone, and bioplasma.
It has been given many other names by the
various cultures that have been aware of it.
Ki is the life force. It is also called the
vital life force or the universal life force.
This is the nonphysical energy that animates all
living things. As long as something is alive, it
has life force circulating through it and
surrounding it; when it dies, the life force
departs. If your life force is low, or if there
is a restriction in its flow, you will be more
vulnerable to illness. When it is high, and
flowing freely, you are less likely to get sick.
Life force plays an important role in everything
we do. It animates the body and also is the
primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and
spiritual life.
The Chinese place great importance on the life
force or what they call Chi. They have studied
it for thousands of years and have discovered
there are many different kinds of Chi. The
"Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine"
which is over 4,000 years old, lists thirty-two
different kinds of Chi or Ki.
Ki is used by martial artists in their physical
training and mental development. It is used in
meditative breathing exercises called Pranayama,
and by the shamans of all cultures for
divination, psychic awareness, manifestation and
healing. Ki is the nonphysical energy used by
all healers. Ki is present all around us and can
be accumulated and guided by the mind.

Occult healers
regard "Life Force" as intelligent
life energy:
"...the
intelligent life energy that heals cuts and
bruises and many other physical and
psychological disorders..."
(Quote
source: Prana, Qi, Life Force http://www.integrativepsychology.com/PranaQiLifeForce/Prana
QiLife1.html)
May the reader stop and consider
the fact that any "energy" that is living and
intelligent is alive. Energy is not alive. Energy is
force; the capacity to do work. Any "energy"
that is alive is a living being.
What kind of living being can
heal cuts and bruises in response to occult
methodologies? (Demons)
Who Holds the
Universe Together? God or Life Force Energy?
The Bible teaches that by Jesus
Christ all things consist (are held together in a fixed or permanent state):
And he is before all things, and by
him all things consist. Colossians
1:17
Lena Johansson,
author of Reiki A Key to Your Personal
Power, teaches that quantum physicists believe subtle energies
(another word for Life Force Energy) have an intelligence of their own and
hold the universe together:
Quantum physicists of today
are showing considerable interest in the subtle energies creating the
subatomic particles. The entire universe is made of atoms, including
everything around and inside us. Subatomic particles, that vibrate at an
incredible speed, circulate within and around the atoms. Some physicists
think that these particles have an intelligence of their own. These
particles vibrate at a very high frequency, and scientists call them "the
glue of the universe."
"Without this fantastic energy
system the entire universe would collapse and nothing would look as it does
today." (1) [bold emphasis added.]
Reiki healers often claim that Life Force
Energy (ki, qi, chi, subtle energy, etc.) is power from God. This is not true
because the power of God cannot be manipulated
(or sold) by human
beings. It is demonic powers that can be manipulated and directed by human
beings.
God Holds the Universe
Together
New Agers/occult
healers believe and teach that
"Life Force Energy"
(this is one of many
euphemisms for demons/devils)
animates and sustains all living things.
The Holy Bible reveals the
truth.
God
holds the universe together:
And he
[Jesus Christ] is before all things, and by
him all things consist. Colossians
1:17
