Turn Away from Astrology, the Occult,
Mediums, Divination and Sorcery
(c) 2005 Doug Britton (Permission granted to print for personal use)
Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God (Leviticus 19:31).
God tells us to turn to him and renounce the occult.
Many people, including Christians, think it's harmless to look at astrological charts or engage in various forms of spiritism. They think it is fun or entertaining.
Others look to astrology, divination, and mediums for guidance, not just entertainment.
But God clearly warns against such practices in many Bible verses. Some reasons the Scriptures warn against engaging in any form of the occult:
•We are opening ourselves up to spirits other than God's.
•We are not looking to God for guidance, but to the occult.
•We are turning away from true faith in Jesus.
•We are disobeying God's Word, the Bible.
