Katrin: “Jesus took away all emptiness and sorrow”

Katrin Eklund’s first encounter with new spirituality was bright and happy. She thought it would fill her with what was missing in life. But what was exciting at first soon had other consequences. Katrin became ill and her whole life became a chaos. When everything was at its heaviest, she began to pray to God.
– The day I met Jesus, it was as if I was healed for the first time. All the emptiness and sadness inside me disappeared, she says.

Katrin Eklund has lived all her life on Gotland. Early on she came in contact with new spirituality.
– I have always been a seeker who wants something more than what we can see.
– It started with the Spirit in the glass when I was 13 years old. We became a gang that gathered at my house. A lot happened and we understood that there was another reality. But I never really realized what I was doing. Katrin also began to predict.
– I thought it was exciting. A fortune teller also had courses in meditation, so then I went for it too. I started getting messages and getting more and more into the new spirit world.

Emptiness and loss
Katrin trained as a masseuse and wellness consultant. She also attended acupressure training. Yoga also came in there.
– I got to try yoga and it felt great, bright and nice for the body. After that, I continued to go to yoga every week. Katrin says that everything she was doing at first breathed love, light and joy.
– I thought I had a good life with two wonderful children. But still, I walked around all the time with some kind of emptiness and loss in my heart. Something was missing that I could never understand.

Feeling bad from yoga
When Katrin worked with massage or acupressure, it happened that she got a message to the person she was treating.
– At the same time, it became more and more strenuous. The responsibility took on me and on my power, and I became more and more tired. Katrin, who was always searching for truth, now prayed, outright, that she would face the truth. And things started to happen in her life.
– I used to go on acupressure myself, but suddenly I could not stand it anymore. I had a palpitation and felt bad. Nor did yoga give me anything anymore.
– I could not relax at all. What had previously filled me with light and peace now only made me restless and feel bad. I became ill and my whole life became a chaos.

Worse than a horror movie
Katrin contracted infection after infection. They settled on the kidneys and she got a big infection in the abdomen.
The red blood cells decreased rapidly in number and Katrin received several blood transfusions. In November 2013, she was rushed to the hospital. By then, the infections had led to blood poisoning. She was unwell, but the doctors put in strong antibiotics.
– It was terrible, worse than a horror movie. It was as if my whole body was screaming, I was so attacked. I could not find peace in my body at all, it was in such stress and it hurt my whole body. At night I could not sleep. I saw monsters in my brain all the time. The doctors wanted to send Katrin to Karolinska Hospital to, among other things, operate on the uterus and fallopian tubes. But Katrin refused.
– I told the doctors that the problem is not in my organs and that I will not get well because the organs are removed.
Instead, Katrin sought alternative care, in the form of herbs and frequency therapy. At the same time, she began to pray to God.

Lifted up in the light
– When it was at its worst, I thought that now I am dying, I can not handle this anymore. Then, as my last hope, I began to pray to God.
The prayer led to a supernatural experience.
– I experienced that I was lifted up from the hospital bed and ended up in a huge light. There was no pain, everything was so peaceful and wonderful. But then suddenly – against my will – I was back in the hospital bed again, with all the attacks and all the pain.
– This was repeated several times. In the end, I knew that when it got really bad and I prayed to God, then I had to come to the light for a while.

Prayed to God for the daughter
Katrin had to leave the hospital and moved home to her parents as a train hand over her. At the same time, she treated herself with frequency therapy every day.
– I could not stand food, it felt like my whole body was burning. It was like fire in my body. All the good bacteria, my whole immune system, everything was burned. Katrin’s daughter Natalie lived in the United States, but cried on the phone because she was feeling so bad.
– I myself was bedridden and very ill and could not do anything to help her – more than pray. So I started praying to God for my daughter.

Intercession by telephone
When Natalie came home from the USA, she went to a new age mass in Stockholm. There she met a group of Christians from the Church of the Cross.
They prayed with her, and something happened. Natalie was filled with joy, she began to go to church and learned more and more about Jesus and the Christian faith. Katrin got in touch with Natalie’s friends from the church and eventually she agreed to receive intercession over the phone.
– Every time he prayed, I felt that something was happening, and after a while I was so strong that I had the strength to go to Stockholm to meet them.
– It was a strong meeting. We prayed together and the tears flowed.
– Both Natalie and I understood that Jesus is the true light. He is the truth.
– I felt how it grew more and more in me and I understood that it was this life that I really wanted.

Angels changed shape
At the same time, Katrin realized that she could not continue with her new spiritual activities.
– When I still had a foot in every world, I started asking for the truth. And when I saw angels, animals or colors in my heart, I began to ask them if they believed in Jesus, that Jesus is the Messiah, and that he died on the cross and rose again to give us life.
– Then it was as if the angels or animals changed shape and disappeared. Sometime I saw an angel turn into a crocodile before it disappeared. And I realized that this is something that should be taken out of my life.
– It was terrible to see the truth, because this had been my life. It’s tough to know that what you were doing and thinking was the truth was in fact just a big lie.
– It wanted to take my life, but I did not understand it when I was in the middle of it. At first, everything had felt so fun, bright and exciting, but it became a spiral that went down and down, until I landed in the hospital.

Burned everything new spirit
Katrin chose to burn all new spirit objects in the home, such as books and tarot cards.
– It was such a liberation. I realized what prison I had been in. In the
summer of 2015, in a telephone conversation with the man from the Church of the Cross, Katrin decided to really receive Jesus in her life.
– In retrospect, I see that that was when everything started to turn around. The disease picture went straight up instead of up and down.
– I could stop with all the herbs and frequency therapy. I felt healthier and stronger. God did so much in my life!

The last piece of the puzzle
A month later, Katrin christened herself, together with her daughter Natalie.
– I wanted to die away from my own and what this world had shaped me to be. Now I wanted instead to be who God has created me to be, and I have gained a whole new view of people, of life and of myself. The feeling on the inside has also changed.
– The day I met Jesus, all emptiness and sorrow disappeared, what had always been in my heart. It was as if I was filled and whole for the first time.
– The piece that has always been taken, it has now fallen into place. The last piece of the puzzle has been laid and I have become whole.

False truth
Katrin wants to advise others to really seek the truth.
– In the western world today, we turn to the wrong truth and many people are so deceived. Those who are engaged in new age are usually good people who want well, but who are deceived by the dark spiritual well-being.
– We get lost and we need to understand that it is a prison, that we have lost the true life.
Katrin emphasizes how important it is that those who have found Jesus – the true light – are bold and share what they have experienced.
– Everyone has their own choice. We can choose to live in a false truth or in the real truth that is faith in Jesus, she concludes.
