Future....
Do you wonder about it? Ever wish you could see into it?
There are people who claim to do that, and people who pay money to hear what they have to say.
I think most of them are just great con-artists, people who have formulated some general scenarios to spout, most of them pleasant of course…
But I think some of them may have some power. Power from a power source that is certainly not of God. Evil in fact.
Scripture has quite a bit of advice about this kind of thing. Simply put… just don’t have anything to do with it. If it is not clearly of God, just don’t go there….
God has given His Word, divinely inspired and recorded, preserved and kept thru the ages.
He has given His Spirit to aid in understanding it, recalling it, and applying it. He reveals His truth to us, layer after layer, if only we go to Him with an open and honest heart, asking and expecting.
We pay no price. He has paid the price, and it was great.
Oh I’ve heard the argument… “I don’t really believe it, it’s just fun…harmless fun.”
Well, maybe you think so. But God seemed to take it pretty serious….
“….. he consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.” (2 Kings 21:6)
……serious enough to be in a list like this: “ Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD..”(Deut. 18:10-12)
Make no mistake, God is God. There is no other.
But Satan is real, and though his trump card of death is defeated for the child of God thru Jesus Christ, he is real and he is dangerous.
He is not harmless.
And he is not fun.
Don’t fall for the deception that dabbling in his realm is recreational. He intends to steal, kill, and destroy you. (John 10:10)
