Feng Shui – What is it?
Over 3,000 years ago, Chinese farmers established a religious science that developed out of Taoism called Feng Shui (Fung Shui), meaning wind water.

Feng Shui is a belief that by living in
harmony with nature and adjusting our homes, businesses, and yards to adapt to
geological alignments to physical elements, we will be healthy, wealthy, and
wise.
It is also called geomancy, a form of
divination.
Feng Shui teaches that there is an
energy called Qi (or Chi) flowing throughout the universe in lines, sometimes
called meridians or channels. It claims to balance the Yin and Yang in the
environment. It resembles astrology in some aspects.
While it is very sensible to live and
respect the laws of nature, Feng Shui takes it further.
Good fortune and quality of life are
enhanced by surrounding ourselves with things of beauty. Dish fountains with
trickling water soothing to your ears, are just one of the characteristics of
decorating according to Feng Shui.
These types of items will enable us to
be more peace-loving and kind. If we envelop ourselves with symbols of death,
contempt, and indifference towards nature and other people, we will corrupt
ourselves.
Feng Shui – Who are the experts?
The experts of Feng Shui decorating call themselves masters. They search out your land for the supposed five elements and two energies, such as chi and sha.

Claiming to detect metaphysical
energies, they give direction for the optimal flow of power and liveliness.
Architectural elements of your home are
designed according to the master’s planning and design. A considerable monetary
fee is expected for the rendering of this service. People who have money to
burn are attracted to this phenomenon to enhance their lifestyle and social
status.
Colleges and universities lecture on
the aspects of Feng Shui as a design option. Classes are offered for turning
your garden into a wellspring of good energy to surround your home with “good
luck.”
The masters’ abilities include
restraining “wizards and magi” that inhabit the structures and landscape. The
doorways of your home need to face a certain direction for the best flow of
chi.
Feng Shui – New Religion or Scam?
Feng Shui has become another New Age type of energy scam. These “masters” charge high sums of money to redesign penthouses and mansions.

Corporate America also uses Feng Shui
to improve their employees work production. This leads to an affirmation of this
belief as having substance and value to your lifestyle.
The mind of man has a desire to be the
creator of the goodness around him. There is pride in humankind that does not
want to believe in one, true, living God as our Creator.
We do not even want to be accountable
for our own actions, which is where Feng Shui errantly leads its followers.
Harmonious relationships with others
can only be brought about by a character change within our self. Love, joy, and
peace is only available through God. A statue in the yard will not give you any
of these emotions.
In the countries where Feng Shui still
has a foothold, the belief has become riddled with superstitions and unverified
notions. It is taught in university curriculum as a scientific principal for
architecture and city planning.
Hopefully, the academia will not ignore
the laws of physics in favor of metaphysical principles. Rules of structural
soundness should
always prevail
to ensure the safety and well-being of the inhabitants.
Feng Shui is a false
religion made up
by man to feel as if he is in control of his life and destiny.
Colossians 2:8 says, "See to it that no one takes you
captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human
tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."
WHAT
DO YOU THINK? - We have
all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God,
the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in
Him.
Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless
life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve,
was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible.
If you truly believe and trust this in
your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
Would you want to have a deeper relationship with
God?
God has made it possible
for you to know Him and experience an
amazing change in your own life by
receiving His Son, Jesus Christ, and have eternal life.
Say the following prayer:
“Father God, I confess I am a
sinner and my sins have separated me from You.
I am
truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and
live a new life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning
again.
I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for
my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to
rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank You that according to
your Word, I am now born again.
Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey
You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I promise to study Your Word
– the Bible.
Please use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”
