Continuing with the 9 things listed in Deuteronomy
18:10-14:
5.
One that is "a witch". A witch is one who is involved
in practicing magical incantations. Often witches like to
describe themselves as "good or bad", "black or white",
etc. Many times you will see the word "magic" spelled as
magik or magick. You should know that no matter how you
try to examine it, there is NO SUCH THING as "good"
magic. It is ALL demonic and has one source: Satan. A
Christian should NEVER be involved in any form or fashion
with magic whether it is called black or white, Wicca,
incantations (the repetition of words, phrases, poetry,
magic spells, etc. that are designed to invoke some deity
(demon).
6.
One that is "a charmer". A charmer is one who casts
spells upon or ties knots or binds other people by magic
mutterings. It means "to change things by the use of
magic especially using the chanting of a magical verse or
formula. A charmer is also one who provides an object or
a piece of jewelry that is used for magical purposes.
All Christians MUST beware of occult symbols, talismans,
good luck charms, amulets, crystals and the following two
which have taken the Church by storm: New Age POSITIVE
THINKING and Positive Confession!
7.
One who is "a consulter with familiar spirits". This
is one who asks, demands or desires the assistance of an
evil (demon) spirit. See 2 Kings 21:6, 2 Chronicles 33:6,
Isaiah 19:3. These are commonly called "mediums",
mystics, "channelers" and other such terms. They believe
they are contacting the dead, but in reality what they are
really contacting is a demon spirit that pretends to be
the dead (person). A Christian should NEVER under any
circumstances contact one who "channels", a spiritist,
medium, spirit guide, etc. Stay away from one who seeks
and consults with "ascended masters", spirit guides, or
the like. A Christian should NEVER attend or participate
in a séance, automatic writing session or a session in
which someone claims to have a dead person speaking
through them or to them.
8.
One who is a "Wizard". A Wizard is one who is well
learned in many things of the occult. They are generally
always in touch and in communication with demonic
spirits. A male witch, a sorcerer, magician, conjurer or
one who uses magic to have (demonic) control over another
person is classified as a wizard. This can also imply to
one who uses magic to change nature. See 2 Kings 17:17, 2
Kings 21:6, 2 Chronicles 33:6, Isaiah 19:3. Stay away
from those who claim to be "clairvoyant", or who practice
mantras, sorcery, astral projection, astral travel,
transcendental meditation (TM) and various forms of zen.
9.
One that is a "necromancer". A necromancer is a
person who claims they speak with the dead (or has other
such contact with dead people). ALL contact with the dead
is forbidden by God. It is God and God alone who should
be your source of contact for all things spiritual and for
your guidance!
The
bible clearly tells us these things are not of God, that
they are abomination to God and that God drove out the
Canaanites because of these things.
The Source
The
source of ALL the above mentioned things is purely
demonic. Note that it is not only the ones doing these
things, but it is also the one who consults such a person
that God holds accountable and views as GUILTY! Examine
the passages concerning Saul:
1
Samuel 28:6-7 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD
answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by
prophets. Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a
woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her,
and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold,
there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
1
Chronicles 10:13-14 So Saul died for his transgression
which he committed against the LORD, even against the word
of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking
counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of
it; And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him,
and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
Defiled by These Things
To
consult with witches, wizards, necromancers, those that
peep, etc. is to defile your spirit! There are several
places in the bible that mention this:
2
Chronicles 33:6 And he caused his children to pass through
the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he
observed times, and used enchantments, and used
witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with
wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to
provoke him to anger.
Manasseh did these things in spite of God's instruction to
turn away from such acts.
Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar
spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by
them: I am the LORD your God.
America
has Embraced the Most Ungodly, And The Most Unholy Things
Hollywood
glorifies and deifies psychics, fortune tellers,
necromancers, etc. Even the former First Lady Hillary
Clinton has admitted to seeking the advice of psychics and
has stated that she consults with the dead Eleanor
Roosevelt on a regular basis. Movie and TV Stars tell us
today that we should consult such people. Police
departments turn to so-called psychics for answers. Even
many people who call themselves Christian will consult a
horoscope on a regular basis. America has embraced a
spirituality of the demonic as never before.
Revelation 9:21 "Neither repented they of their murders,
nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of
their thefts."
The
word in the above passage that is translated as
"sorceries" comes from the Greek root word "Pharmakeia"
from which we get a readily recognizable word:
Pharmaceuticals (Drugs). America has certainly and
wholeheartedly embraced their drugs today: both legal and
illegal. The tragedy of this is that many Christians have
no problem at all with taking prescription drugs in large
quantities to alter mood, personality, etc. Apparently,
in today's church, Jesus Christ isn't sufficient to handle
every need and every problem. I've seen Christian people
on Anti-Depressants, Anti-Psychotics, Mood Elevators,
prescription pain killers and just about everything else
one could think of. They rationalize this by stating that
the drug is "prescription". The abuse of ANY drug is the
word used here in Revelation: Sorceries. The word
"witchcraft" as found in Galatians
5:20
also has the same root as in Revelation 9:21: Pharmakeia:
Drugs. The only pill most people really need is the Gos
PILL (I know, it's an "oldie" play on Gospel, but hey..!)
Galatians 5:21 says they that do such things SHALL NOT
inherit the
kingdom
of
God.
The
worst part of the entire matter is that consulting with
any of the 9 listed will gain you what is written in
Revelation 21:8 and Revelation 22:15:
Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their
part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death."
Revelation 22:15 "For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever
loveth and maketh a lie."
What
God tells us through the entire bible is that the
legitimate means of seeking God and seeking what He would
have us to do is to look into His Word.
God has
given us guidance through his written word. We are never
to seek instruction in witches, fortune tellers,
astrologers, channelers, etc. We are to seek God himself!
On the
last page, I want to explain a bit more in detail about
something that seems to be growing by leaps and bounds in
our modern age of newfound spirituality it is this thing
called "channeling". Friend, before I even begin the
page, I will tell you immediately and with no reservations
that "channeling is completely, totally, 100% demonic in
EVERY case.
