Psychics Are Real

There are many people out there that turn to psychics. Some of them are wanting to know their future mates, while others wonder if they will ever be rich. Many of them doubt the validity of the psychic, despite paying the money to visit with them.

The Bible makes many references to fortune tellers and psychics. The most important point to remember though is that this knowledge doesn't come from God.

Acts 16: 16 - 28 talks about a girl that was a slave. She was also a fortune teller and made a big profit for her owners. This girl was demon possessed though and once the demon was cast out, she could no longer tell the future.

Whether this means that any accurate psychic is demon possessed or just that their talent comes from an evil spirit is not for me to say. I do believe though that nobody is just born with that talent. It has to come from either God or Satan. It has to be for good or for evil.

In the Bible it also talks about visions of the future, especially in Revelations. This vision come from God.

One point to ponder is that in the day of Jesus, he cast many, many demons out of people. I'm sure that demon possession didn't just stop upon his death. It's still out there to this day.

It's my guess that back in those times, druids were very common. I also believe that fortune tellers were very common as well. For it to be mentioned time and time again, I have to believe that this is something that God takes very seriously.

Do any of you remember when John Edwards used to air quite frequently on tv? It never failed to amaze me to see so many people in his audience. I bet if you were to ask half those people if they believed in God, they would say no. So do they just think that the power to see the future or talk to someone that is dead is just born in someone?

To me that sounds rather ridiculous. I believe it would take a higher power to speak to someone dead. If that person is really making contact. I have to wonder though how many people would still seek a psychic if they knew that the psychic was speaking to a demon from hell. And how could these same people not believe that there is a God?

Believing in God as I do, I have to say that I believe there are things out there that we can't see. Things that would probably scare us to death. I think that God puts some kind of blinders on our eyes so we can't see those things. If we could, we'd always be in a state of fear.

People visit psychics to see what's going to happen in this life. This life shouldn't be the one to concern us as it will take care of itself. We should be worried about the next life, the one where we will spend an eternity. No psychic can tell us that.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (New Living Translation)

10 For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering. 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.
