The Bible gives believers important instructions and guidelines for living a life of faith. One point that is very important is that we should never turn to mediums, wizards, or fortunetellers for information about our future.
Wisdom teaches us to place our trust in the Lord, knowing that He loves us and has plans to give us a blessed and meaningful future. We already know that we will spend eternity in heaven with the Lord, and we may surely rejoice in this truth.
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? (Isa 8:19, emphasis added)
Note, this passage asks: “Should not a people seek their God?” This is a hint from the Holy Spirit to us that it is only the Lord, Himself, who is capable of knowing the future. And He is the only Being who has the power to change the future! So, we must turn only to the Lord Jesus when we are grieving, sad, or uncertain about what is to come.
And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people. (Lev 20:6)
In the above Scripture, the Lord warns us that He will be in opposition to anyone who puts their trust or hope in mediums or soothsayers; and that He will cut such a person “off from their people” which is actually a sentence of death upon that person.
But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. (2 Pet 2:1)
2 Peter 2:1 states plainly that believers who turn to false prophets have brought upon themselves SUDDEN destruction. We must avoid this at all costs!
We are called to turn to the Lord Jesus for direction and guidance in the course of our daily lives. As believers in Jesus Christ, we must jealously and conscientiously protect, defend and cherish our relationship with our Savior. It is the most important aspect of our lives. May God surround you with His love and wisdom.
