Bible Texts:
Charlie, Charlie, a game it is not,
spiritism, it is.
Ezekiel 3:17 KJV
Son of man, I have made thee a
watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my
mouth, and give them warning from Me.
Warning,
Occult Deceptions:
Leviticus 19:26,31 NLT
26 ...“Do not practice
fortune-telling or witchcraft.
31 “Do not defile* yourselves
by turning to mediums or to those who consult the spirits of the
dead. I am The Lord your God.
*Defile – Hebrew: Tame (Taw-may):
To be foul, pollute (self), be made unclean (utterly).
Leviticus 20:6-8,27 NLT
6 “I will also turn against
those who commit spiritual prostitution by putting their trust in
mediums or in those who consult the spirits of the dead. I will
cut them off from the community.
7 So set yourselves apart to be
holy, for I am the Lord your God.
8 Keep all My decrees by putting
them into practice, for I am The Lord who makes you holy.
27 “Men and women among you who
act as mediums or who consult the spirits of the dead...They are
guilty of a capital offense.”
Deuteronomy 18:9-14 NLT
9 “When you enter the land the
Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the
detestable customs of the nations living there.
10 For example, never sacrifice your
son or daughter as a burnt offering. (Abortions-Ed.
Note) And do not let your people practice
fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in
witchcraft,
11 or cast spells, or function as
mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead.
12 Anyone who does these things
is detestable to The Lord. It is because the other nations have
done these detestable things that The Lord your God will drive them
out ahead of you.
13 But you must be blameless before
The Lord your God.
14 The nations you are about to
displace consult sorcerers and fortune-tellers, but The Lord your
God forbids you to do such things.”
II Kings 17:16-18 KJV
16 And they left all the
commandments of The LORD their God, and made them molten images, even
two calves, and made a grove, and worshiped all the host of heaven,
and served Baal.
17 And they caused their sons and
their daughters to pass through the fire (Abortion),
and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil
in the sight of The LORD, to provoke Him to anger.
18 Therefore The LORD was very angry
with Israel, and removed them out of His sight: there was none left
but the tribe of Judah only.
II Kings 21:1-6,10-15 NLT (An
evil King in Judah.)
1 Manasseh was twelve years
old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five
years. His mother was Hephzibah.
2 He did what was evil in The Lord’s
sight, following the detestable practices of the pagan nations
that The Lord had driven from the land ahead of the Israelites.
3 He rebuilt the pagan shrines his
father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. He constructed altars for Baal and
set up an Asherah pole, just as King Ahab of Israel had done. He also
bowed before all the powers of the heavens and worshiped them.
4 He built pagan altars in the
Temple of The Lord, the place where The Lord had said, “My name
will remain in Jerusalem forever.”
5 He built these altars for all the
powers of the heavens in both courtyards of The Lord’s Temple.
6 Manasseh also sacrificed his own
son in the fire. He practiced sorcery and divination, and he
consulted with mediums and psychics. He did much that was evil in The
Lord’s sight, arousing His anger.
10 Then The Lord said through His
servants the prophets:
11 “King Manasseh of Judah has
done many detestable things. He is even more wicked than the
Amorites, who lived in this land before Israel. He has caused the
people of Judah to sin with his idols.
12 So this is what The Lord, The God
Of Israel, says: I will bring such disaster on Jerusalem and Judah
that the ears of those who hear about it will tingle with horror.
13 I will judge Jerusalem by the
same standard I used for Samaria and the same measure I used for the
family of Ahab. I will wipe away the people of Jerusalem as one wipes
a dish and turns it upside down.
14 Then I will reject even the
remnant of My own people who are left, and I will hand them over as
plunder for their enemies.
15 For they have done great evil in
My sight and have angered Me ever since their ancestors came out of
Egypt.”
I Chronicles 10:13,14 NLT
13 So Saul died because he was
unfaithful to The Lord. He failed to obey The Lord’s command, and
he even consulted a medium
14 instead of asking The Lord for
guidance. So The Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David
son of Jesse.
Isaiah 8:19-22 NLT
19 Someone may say to you, “Let’s
ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With
their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do.”
But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek
guidance from the dead?
20 Look to God’s instructions and
teachings! People who contradict His word are completely in the
dark.
21 They will go from one place to
another, weary and hungry. And because they are hungry, they will
rage and curse their king and their God. They will look up to heaven
22 and down at the earth, but
wherever they look, there will be trouble and anguish and dark
despair. They will be thrown out into the darkness.
Isaiah 47:8-15 NLT
8 “Listen to this, you
pleasure-loving kingdom, living at ease and feeling secure. You say,
‘I am the only one, and there is no other. I will never be a widow
or lose my children.’
9 Well, both these things will come
upon you in a moment: widowhood and the loss of your children. Yes,
these calamities will come upon you, despite all your witchcraft and
magic.
10 “You felt secure in your
wickedness. ‘No one sees me,’ you said. But your ‘wisdom’ and
‘knowledge’ have led you astray, and you said, ‘I am the only
one, and there is no other.’
11 So disaster will overtake you,
and you won’t be able to charm it away. Calamity will fall upon
you, and you won’t be able to buy your way out. A
catastrophe will strike you suddenly, one for which you are not
prepared.
12 “Now use your magical charms!
Use the spells you have worked at all these years! Maybe they will do
you some good. Maybe they can make someone afraid of you.
13 All the advice you receive has
made you tired. Where are all your astrologers, those stargazers who
make predictions each month? Let them stand up and save you from what
the future holds.
14 But they are like straw burning
in a fire; they cannot save themselves from the flame. You will get
no help from them at all; their hearth is no place to sit for warmth.
15 And all your friends, those with
whom you’ve done business since childhood, will go their own ways,
turning a deaf ear to your cries.
Jeremiah 27:9 KJV (Warnings of
Jeremiah.)
9 “‘Do not listen to your false
prophets, fortune-tellers, interpreters of dreams, mediums, and
sorcerers who say, “The king of Babylon will not conquer you.”
10 They are all liars, and their
lies will lead to your being driven out of your land. I will
drive you out and send you far away to die.
Micah 5:12 NLT
I will put an end to all witchcraft,
and there will be no more fortune-tellers.
Zechariah 10:2 NLT
Household gods give worthless
advice, fortune-tellers predict only lies and interpreters of dreams
pronounce falsehoods that give no comfort. So My people are wandering
like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no shepherd.
Matthew 7:21-23 KJV (Deceptive
Works)
21 Not every one that saith unto
Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he
that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have
cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 24:23-26 KJV
23 Then if any man shall say unto
you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false
Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto
you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the
secret chambers; believe it not.
Acts 16:16-18 NLT (Paul and
Silas)
16 One day as we were going down to
the place of prayer, we met a demon-possessed slave girl. She was a
fortune-teller who earned a lot of money for her masters.
17 She followed Paul and the rest of
us, shouting, “These men are servants of The Most High God, and
they have come to tell you how to be saved.”
18 This went on day after day until
Paul got so exasperated that he turned and said to the demon within
her, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of
her.” And instantly it left her.
II Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
13 For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of
Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself
is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if
his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their works.
Galatians 5:19-21 NLT
19 When you follow the desires of
your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual
immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
20 idolatry, sorcery,
hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish
ambition, dissension, division,
21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties,
and other sins like these.
Let me tell you again, as I have
before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the
Kingdom of God.
II Thessalonians 2:3-12 NLT
3...For that day will not come until
there is a great rebellion against God and
the man of lawlessness
(Anti-Christ) is revealed—the one
who brings destruction.
4 He will exalt himself and defy
everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will
even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.
5 Don’t you remember that I told
you about all this when I was with you?
6 And you know what (Who-The Holy
Spirit) is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his
time comes.
7 For this lawlessness is already at
work secretly, and it will remain secret until The One who is holding
it back steps out of the way.
8 Then the man of lawlessness will
be revealed, but The Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of His
mouth and destroy him by the splendor of His coming.
9 This man will come to do the work
of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.
10 He will use every kind of evil
deception to fool those on their way to destruction,
because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save
them.
11 So God will cause them to be
greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies.
12 Then they will be condemned for
enjoying evil rather than believing The Truth.
Revelation 13:11-15 NLT (A
religious cheerleader for the lawless one mentioned in II
Thessalonians 2:8,9.)
11 Then I saw another beast come up
out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke
with the voice of a dragon.
12 He exercised all the authority of
the first beast. And he required all the earth and its people to
worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
13 He did astounding miracles, even
making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was
watching.
14 And with all the miracles he was
allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all
the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a
great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then
came back to life.
15 He was then permitted to give
life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the
beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.
Revelation 16:14 NLT
They are demonic spirits who work
miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for
battle against The Lord on that great judgment day of God The
Almighty.
Revelation 19:20 NLT
And the beast (The man of
lawlessness (Anti-Christ)
was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles
on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had
accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the
beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of
burning sulfur.
Revelation 21:8 KJV
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.
Do spiritist games work? Yes! But
behind them are Satan's demons, who will enslave you!
Anyone who engages these contrivances,
is engaging with evil spirit beings.
Ephesians 6:10-18 NLT (The Armor
of God.)
10 A final word: Be strong in The
Lord and in His mighty power.
11 Put on all of God’s armor so
that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the
devil.
12 For we are not fighting against
flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and
authorities of the unseen world,
against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil
spirits in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, put on every piece of
God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of
evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
(Seven articles the
soldier of Jesus Christ, must possess.)
14 Stand your ground, putting on
the belt of Truth and
the body armor of God’s righteousness.
15 For shoes, put on the
peace that comes from The Good News so that you will be fully
prepared.
16 In addition to all of these, hold
up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
17 Put on salvation as your
helmet, and take the sword of The Spirit, which is The
Word Of God.
18 Pray in The Spirit at all
times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your
prayers for all believers everywhere.
Have you already
foolishly opened a door to a dark dimension?
Suffering under
depression, oppression and attack from the enemy?
