Don’t Consult With Mediums – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional September 29th

(Divination Is Wrong In All Forms)

TO THE BIBLE: Leviticus 19:31 MSG
“Don’t dabble in the occult or traffic with mediums; you’ll pollute your souls. I am God, your God.”

LET’S TALK
After James’ mum passed, a new friend invited him to a seance. But James knew better. “I don’t need that, I have Jesus,” he said firmly. “I know where my mum is, and I know who I am in Christ.”

Instead of accepting the invitation, he shared the Gospel with his friend, explaining the truth about eternal life in Jesus. Touched by James’ faith and peace, his friend gave his heart to Christ that day.

In I Samuel 28:7-23, we read about the desperate act of King Saul when he sought out a woman practising divination to call up the spirit of Samuel, though Samuel had already died. Saul, troubled and without divine guidance, resorted to something forbidden, consulting with a medium—a witch.

The Bible makes it clear that Saul’s actions were grievous to God. Saul knew God’s law but deliberately sought out a familiar spirit.

In I Chronicles 10:13-14, the Bible confirms Saul’s disobedience, stating that Saul died for his transgression of seeking counsel from one with a familiar spirit.

Also, Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says, “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord….”

Furthermore, Isaiah 8:19-20 warns: ““And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God?” Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”

Don’t consult with mediums; it’s not of God. Divination is wrong in all forms, whether consulting familiar spirits of the living, the dead, or demons. It’s wrong to seek to know the future by consulting the spirits of the dead.

Instead, you’re to consult the Holy Spirit for guidance concerning anything in life, and He lives in you. Glory to God!

Pray:
Dear Father, I know and understand my true identity in Christ. I’m the righteousness of God in Christ, imbued with eternal life, the organic and existential attributes of deity. I’m victorious and vibrant, strong and excellent. I walk in the light of this truth every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
