Spirit of Truth or Lies?

Leviticus 19:31 

Don’t turn to psychics or mediums to get help. That will make you unclean. I am the Lord your God.

Now Samuel had died. One day Israel had to fight the Philistines. Saul was scared so he prayed, but God didn’t answer him straight away because of his continuous disobedience. He was desperate for help. In his panic and fear, instead of repenting from his sins and searching for God with all his heart, Saul consulted a medium. A medium is a person who communicates with an evil spirit. God forbids this kind of practice, as it is the work of the devil.

The ultimate supernatural power comes only from God. God gives power to those who believe in Him and in His truth. On the contrary, Satan, who is full of lies, always tries to deceive people in many ways, trying to make them believe that he also has power to do great things. It's a complete lie. Satan has been defeated by Jesus and in Jesus Name, Satan is powerless.

Similarly, fortune telling, tarot, horoscope, ouija board, and astrology are all the work of Satan. Satan uses these media to deceive many people. Do not compromise. Say no to all satanic forms of work.

Prayer

Dear God, I want to submit to You and resist the devil. I want to worship You only in spirit and in truth. Amen.
