The Sin Addiction - 2

Exodus 22:8 "You shall not permit a sorceress to live.




Do you read your horoscope? Consult a spirit guide? Or tarot cards?? These are forms of sorcery (or Pharmakia, in Greek) and they have no place in a Jew’s or a Christian’s life.


This is a very real domain. It’s a domain that will be truthful at times, deceptive at others, and always very manipulative. It will give you just enough information and advice to have you turn away from the truth and go after great deceptions. It will give you enough supernatural power to make you want more, and in return you sell your soul and spirit for that power. Once you have it, often a demon takes over and controls you via fear and depression. Thoughts of suicide become more common. Drugs (pharmakia) can control much of the depression and anxieties, but they wear off, in a matter of hours.


The Bible has numerous references to witchcraft and sorcery. None of them are good. All of them have ugly circumstances. See I Corinthians 6:9. Or Revelation 22:15. So, if you claim to be a Christian, and engage in such abominable activities, do you think Jesus will welcome you with open arms and the words, “Well done, faithful servant”?, Maybe not. After all, on one hand you confess Jesus, on the other hand, you cling to Satan. You end up giving lip service to God and nothing more (Isaiah 29:13). Do you think God will honor you?


While accepting Christ as your personal savior does grant you eternal life, it doesn’t grant us license to do whatever sounds good at the moment, knowing God’s grace will cover all our sins. (Romans 6:1-3) The proper balance is to seek the Lord Christ with all your heart. Develop the personal relationship that Jesus wants to have with all of us. Don’t sweat the good deeds and works, simply do the best you can to keep His commandments. The Holy Spirit will guide you away from all evil including psychic divinations while pointing you towards the good. You will find yourself doing works and deeds, not because you “must”, but because you want to. That is when you experience pure joy, knowing it comes from God alone.
