☠️I never knew how spiritually dangerous the occult was until I read the following article...indeed, it is spiritual suicide.
Astrology: Is your life controlled by the stars?
Astrology is spiritual suicide. Why? Because through the practice of it you open the door to Pandora's box of demonic infestation and harmful influence that will ultimately destroy your life.
Do you practice Astrology?
One of the main reasons why people consult astrology and fortune tellers is to find out what their life is going to be like in the future. People have an innate desire to know the future and need guidance to make their way through life successfully. However my (God's) people perish for the lack of knowledge Hosea 4:6...and without a vision to people perish Proverbs 29:18... but to what or whom should we be seeking this vision and knowledge from? We should be seeking it from our creator. Jesus said "my sheep hear my voice and another they will not follow" John 10:4-5... if you want to know God's prophetic destiny and future for your life and what He has in store for you, ask, seek and knock, and He will convey His perfect will/visionary word of the Lord to you, so that you may enter into His perfect will for your life and fulfill your God given potential and dreams.
Hear His voice - Run with His vision. Isaiah 30:21 Habakkuk 2:2
Three marks of the occult:
1. The Disclosure or Communication of Unknown information Unavailable to Humans Through Normal Means
This involves things like horoscopes, fortune-telling, psychic hotlines and tarot cards.
Just so we’re clear:
“You have trusted in your wickedness … your wisdom and knowledge mislead you … Disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to conjure it away … keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries … let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month … they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves … each of them goes on in his error.” —Isaiah 47:10–15
“… diviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain.” —Zechariah 10:2
“I am the Lord, the Creator of all things. I alone stretched out the heavens … I make fools of fortunetellers and frustrate the predictions of astrologers.” —Isaiah 44:24–25
“Let no one be found among you who … practices divination or … interprets omens … Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.” —Deuteronomy 18:10–12
2. The Placing of Persons in Contact With Supernatural Powers, Paranormal Energies, or Demonic Forces
This involves things like spiritual energy in a crystal or any other entity, attempting to summon up a spirit or a deceased relative through a séance, channeling a spirit, or procuring the services of someone claiming to be a medium.
“Let no one be found among you who … is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.” —Deuteronomy 18:10–12
“When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God?” —Isaiah 8:19
“So do not listen to … your diviners … your mediums … They prophesy lies to you … ‘I have not sent them,’ declares the Lord. ‘They are prophesying lies in my name.’” —Jeremiah 27:9–10, 15
3. Any Attempt to Gain and Master Paranormal Power in Order to Manipulate or Influence Other People Into Certain Actions.
In other words, all forms of witchcraft and the casting of spells. Being clear on this is important because of the rise of modern day witchcraft, which goes by the name of Wicca.
“Let no one be found among you who … practices … sorcery … engages in witchcraft or casts spells … Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.” —Deuteronomy 18:10–12
So there you have it. A map of the supernatural world. On the one side you have God and his faithful angels. On the other side the world of the paranormal or the occult, which is the world of Satan and his demons.
These are the only two worlds. These are the only two forces. These are the only two sets of beings.
There isn’t anything else.
One of them is good, the other is evil. There are a lot of ways, sadly, that Satan and his team seduces us to engage the evil side—to open our lives to it and to invite it in without even knowing it. And when we do, whether we are aware of it or not, we are engaging the forces of darkness.
We are connecting with Satan and his demons.
We are willfully opening up the door of our life to their presence and activity.
And they will enter.
And nothing could be more dangerous.
Initially it might seem benign, even innocent, for as the Bible says, Satan positions himself as an angel of light. But then the evil engulfs you.
And it’s even more than playing with fire. It’s dousing yourself with gasoline and then lighting the match.
It is spiritual suicide.
Eph 1:4-5 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love, he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will...
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created (new creation) in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared (ordained) before the foundation of the world) that we would walk in them...
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."....the wise men followed the star that led them in the direction they needed to take and discovered Jesus. They understood that the stars were Gods creation and used as signs to lead them to the creator.
