Instead, go to God! He is who we need to ask our questions of. He is who has all the answers. Not half-truths. Not half baked junk that leads us nowhere. He has all we need. And it does not require us to spend our money or go broke doing it. He is always available. We never have to get an appointment or go online to chat with him.
Looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and is now set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2.
Consulting these other means of getting answers-well let's face it. It is sin. God makes that clear and if we participate in going to them, there will be very severe consequences for us.
So what do you do, if you already have and didn't know it wasn't wrong to go to them?
You don't have to worry if you have come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. However, you do need to repent of having done so. Maybe that was all back before you were a Christian. Maybe you read your horoscope back when you were a teenager as I did and maybe that was where it ended for you. Or maybe you have indeed tried other ways of finding the answers you want. God will not hold you accountable once he has forgiven you in any circumstance. Just ask him.
Delving into these kinds of practices is not only sin, but it is opening yourself to the occult. Because that is what they are. Part of the occult. And who is the center of the occult? Yep. Satan. And he wants to make it look good so that he can draw us in and if we continue on and don't ask God for his forgiveness, we can be in jeopardy of losing our souls to it. Not only that but it can cause problems in this life.
Fortune telling is a cognitive distortion in which you predict a negative outcome without realistically considering the actual odds of that outcome. It is linked to anxiety and depression and is one of the most common cognitive distortions that arise during the course of cognitive restructuring. Jul 30, 2015

Is there any good that comes from it? Certainly, there will be those that tell you yes, there is. However, the bottom line goes back to what the bible says about that and other like practices.
Do not turn to people that participate in these things or God will destroy us. They will be put to death. They deserve to die. They are disgusting to God. They will make us unclean.
Leviticus 19:31, Deuteronomy 18:12, Leviticus 19:31.
Why would I want anything to do with any of that. My answer is, I wouldn't and I don't. When I need an answer (Which is practically every day) I go to the Lord. He is my source and as I said, he is available all the time, no appointment necessary At no charge and I know that he is not going to try to squeeze every penny I have out of me.
What about you? If you have consulted any of these ways of getting answers for your life, quit it while you have the chance. Because you have bitten into that fruit that took Adam and Eve away from God's provision. Whether before you were saved or after. Ask God for forgiveness and he will. Do it now. He is waiting for you.
