Witches

The dangerous side of getting into teachings of Charismania, as I call it, is that it can lead you to evil spirits and witchcraft. It is good to have faith that the impossible is possible. Just don't use witchcraft to make that happen. Of course you want to see an angel, but not a fallen angel right? You may want to pray in tongues, but beware of getting a tongue from Satan. That is possible. You may want to get healed, but watch out for letting Satan or a witch heal you, and yes that is possible. 

Isaiah 8:19 says, "When they say to you, 'Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,' should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living?"

Beware of seeing a fortune teller. Beware of even getting "a word from the Lord" from just anyone. Beware of wanting to know the future. If God wanted you to know something important about your future, he would tell you himself. 

The only time God warned me about my future was about my first serious relationship. He told me one day, "What if he dies? Will you still be ok?" I said in response, "Yes I will still be ok." Maybe God wanted me to break up with him before he died. This ex had essentially decreed an early death for himself for years, so I learned after he died. His ex told me he always said he wanted to die young. "Life and death are in the power of the tongue." Other than that, God has never told me things about my future, because he doesn't want me to know. It might be more than we can handle to hear about our future, so why hear it? Just live life one day at a time. 

1 Samuel 16:14 says, "The Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the Lord tormented him."

Why did this happen? Saul went to visit the Witch of Endor and called up the dead spirit of the prophet Samuel. It shows that is actually possible. Samual corrected him and said he shouldn't be doing that. Saul was mad that God was not approving the timing of his battle, so he asked Samuel what to do. 

That was the reason why God gave Saul a harmful spirit. He doesn't just randomly give people a bad spirit. Saul first was rebellious and visited that witch. 

Leviticus 20:27 says, “A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.”

Why did God say this? Perhaps because once someone summons tons of demons to do witchcraft, they won't have a peaceful life after that. They have let in too much evil. Most likely the demons made them crazy, and they will probably be crazy forever. 

This verse is why people all throughout history have burned witches. People often feel sorry for the witches when hearing about that. In our modern culture, witches have been portrayed as cute or cool or fun. No they are not. They only want to hurt or even kill the majority of people. There is nothing cool about them, in real life. 

If you have ever dabbled in witchcraft repent of it and don't ever do it again. Keep your guard up against witchcraft. It is serious and God does not approve of you doing it.
