What the Bible says about the Occult

 Occult is defined as:  supernatural, mystical, or magical beliefs, practices or phenomena.    

The Bible makes it quite clear that we are to avoid anyone or anything that tries to replace God and His plan for our lives.  Acknowledge that I alone am God and that there is no one else like Me (Isaiah 46:9).  For I alone  know the plans I have for you (Jeremiah 29:11).    

But people will tell you to ask for messages from fortunetellers and mediums. "With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do."  They will say, "After all people should ask for messages from the spirits and consult the dead on behalf of the living."  You are to tell them , Listen to what the Lord is teaching you!  Don't listen to mediums-what they tell you will do you no good (Isaiah 8:19-20).

                         

 If anyone goes for advice to people who consult the spirits of the dead, I will turn against him and no longer consider him one of My people (Leviticus 20:6).

 Isaiah 3:1-3, says that God was going to take away from Jerusalem and Juda everything and everyone they were depending on. That list included their fortunetellers and everyone who was using magic to control events.

I make fools of fortunetellers and frustrate the predictions of astrologers (Isaiah 44:25).

I used to read my horoscope and say it was just for fun until I came across the scripture that says we are not to give Satan a foothold.

Many of the believers came, publicly admitting and revealing what they had done. Many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in public (Acts 19:18). 

From the beginning I predicted the outcome;  long ago I foretold what would happen.  I said that My plans would never fail, that I would do everything I intended to do. God speaking in Isaiah 46:10.


Simply Put:

All you should know, I will tell you when and how I see best. (taken from God Calling).

  Forgiveness Our biggest deterrent to forgiving someone could be that we think if we forgive them we are saying that what they did was alright. I googled forgiveness and this is what I found:  Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.  Forgiveness does not mean condoning or excusing offences. This is what the Bible says:  If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done (Matthew 6:14,15).                                                 Simply Put: Forgiveness frees the forgiver.

  Rejection One of the most painful human experiences is that of rejection. If you are feeling the sting of rejection and are thinking that no one understands, know that Jesus does.  John 1:11 tells us that He came to His own country and His own people did not receive Him.  On the night before His crucifixion, when He was arrested, His friends all ran away and left Him (Matthew 26:56). So let the one who has been there hold and comfort you and He will give you the assurance that when you open your eyes everything will be all right.  You will be assured that on the other side of the door acceptance is waiting.                                                                                  Sim ply Put: There is acceptance after rejection.

  Bell Let's Talk Now in it's 12th year Bell Let's Talk Day, which was held on Jan 26th this year, hopes to raise both awareness and money for mental health, with the goal of eliminating the stigma around mental illness, supporting organizations across Canada to help improve mental health care access, and funding research that could one day offer promising treatments.                                                         I shared the following on Facebook during Bell Let's Talk Day last year.  January 28-2021 I wrote the following poem awhile ago but never shared it because...well just because. I am sharing it now because...well just because.                                                         Go...
