- Fortune Tellers, Spirit Mediums, Seances. It is all a part of the lie that Satan wants to make people believe in. To take our eyes off or away from Jesus. And he has been very successful at it. Especially to very vulnerable people that are looking for their loved ones that disappeared. Not to mention those that just want to know what their future holds for them.
So what does the bible say about these things? Here are just a few verses that address that question.
Leviticus 19:31 “Don’t turn to psychics or mediums to get help. That will make you unclean. I am the LORD your God
Leviticus 20:6 I will condemn people who turn to mediums and psychics and chase after them as though they were prostitutes. I will exclude them from the people
Micah 5:12 I will destroy your witchcraft and you will no longer cast spells
.Jeremiah 10:2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not act like the other nations, who try to read their future in the stars. Do not be afraid of their predictions, even though other nations are terrified by them.
.Jeremiah 10:2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not act like the other nations, who try to read their future in the stars. Do not be afraid of their predictions, even though other nations are terrified by them.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 You must never sacrifice your sons or daughters by burning them alive, practice black magic, be a fortuneteller, witch, or sorcerer, cast spells, ask ghosts or spirits for help, or consult the dead. Whoever does these things is disgusting to the Lord. The Lord your God is forcing these nations out of your way because of their disgusting practicies
Ok so reading God's word on these things, we know that we should not practice them or consult those that do so that we can find out what will happen to us in the future. Let me point you to one more scripture in Duetronomy 18:22.
If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed. Deutormony 18:22
And likewise, it can be said of a fortune teller. Most of these people, psychics as well claim that they have this gift from God. However, if what they claim does not happen, then it is not from God. A prophet or anyone must be 100% right 100% of the time. God does not lie. He does not tell half-truths. And he does not take us for everything he can get out of us when we go to him in prayer.
Thanks for coming by today Friends. Come back tomorrow for the conclusion!
May God's blessing be upon you!
