Mediums

[Moomins]

I know that as Christians we should have no need to consult mediums in aid to speak to our dead loved ones, but, my sister who is not saved did consult a medium today. After her visit to the medium she came to visit me to tell me about her experience. The medium gave her messages from two of our dead grandparents, telling her things that only we would know, the messages were not long and did not predict the future but they were very personal and very real......im confused and im not really sure what my question is....I guess im wondering that if these mediums can give us messages from those in spirit why is it so detestable to God, as a Christian I know there would be the danger of us leaving Gods path......does the Bible say that those in spirit can't speak or connect with us and if they can't, how on earth can some mediums relay precise information to a living person from someone in spirit????

[ENAMOURED]

Absent from the body present with the Lord. Speaking to the dead is the work or the devil and his demons. Stay away from that but I am sure if you read your Bible you will see it is wrong.

I agree with BELLASONUS. The Devil is trying to fool you and your sister.

He expelled mediums and spiritists from the land, yet then violated God’s word and his own conscience by consulting a medium (1 Samuel 28:3-25). His end was tragic (1 Samuel 31:1-6).


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).

I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people (Leviticus 20:6).

When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? (Isaiah 8:19).

God Bless!

You are absolutely right about what the word say's and Deuteronomy 18:10-14 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire , or that useth divination, or an observer of times or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer , or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard or a necromancer (somone who talks to the dead or call them demons) for all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord and because of these abonimations the Lord thy GOD doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God . For these nations which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times and unto diviners but as for thee, the Lord thy GOD hath not suffered thee so to do. Also Acts 16:16 talks about a possessed woman. And it came to pass as we went to prayer a certain damselo possessed with a spirit of divination met us which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying the same followed Paul and us," and cried saying These men are the servants of the most high GOD, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days but Paul , being grieved turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of JESUS CHRIST to come OUT OF HER. and he came out the same hour. That's an example how much GOD is against any other means of supernatural power , because it is made to decieve and make you think it is GOD or the source comes from GOD, and it is not GOD. They are consulting with principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places , rulers of darkness, and powers , They are here and under satans command to decieve and do all manners of deception and evils to immitate GOD . according to Ephesians 6:12 read and get a better understanding .

may GOD bless you

Ok Sis you have the scripture now...This is a detestable practice and is strictly FORBIDDEN by God. The info you get that way comes by the wrong god. The devil will seek to devour whom he will. Satan is very knowledgable as he once held a very high position in heaven. Even those who profess they have SEEN their loved ones...that is just the enemy in sheeps clothing. I pray your sister will ask God's forgiveness, therfore wiping the curse from her life that this can bring with it. God Bless!

Hi Moomins,
You asked How did the Medium know?
Simple, let me give you an example. There are myriads of demons listening to every conversation.
My Gran who was an avid believer in Spirit-ism, had word from the war department that her two sons were missing in action.
You can imagine the grief in the house that week... Friday nights were the night that the Spiritist church held seances with a membership of roughly 50 adherents.. My Gran never missed a Friday night.
Lo behold, without a word from my Gran the Medium was able to tell her that her two sons were missing in action and the terrible shock and grief the family was experiencing. The medium even knew the names of the two missing men.
Now to answer your question how? Demons are everywhere especially in the homes of Spiritist Mediums and their adherents. They listen to everything and you can bet, that the night my Gran went to the Seance, more than one demon tagged along with her. Once the meeting started and the Medium went into a trance, the demons could not wait to inform her of my Gran's two sons and their names and that they were missing in action. Its as easy as that.
When your sister went to a meeting the same thing probably happened, listening to conversations in her home these demons pick up names of deceased family and friends and pass them on to the Medium.
Let's Assume that your sister is going on holiday to California and before the holiday she decides to go to a Seance meeting. Let's listen to what the Medium has to say: "My Dear I have your Grandparents Jim and Rose with me, they say that you are going on holiday to California, they want you to be careful on the road. Also they say that you must take that Pink dress that you are always talking about, with you on holiday" Of Course Jim and Rose are simply names I pulled out of a hat. But the demons would know the real names of the Grandparents, they would also know that she is going on holiday,and they are fully aware of the pink dress your sister is planning to take with her. It's as simple and frightening as that.
Now you will understand why God warns us NOT to fiddle with familiar Spirits and Mediums. Get your sister out of there as quickly as possible before she becomes hooked. The only words these people are going to get from Heaven, is when they stand before the Judgement throne and hear God say: "Depart from me you workers of iniquity, for I never knew you."
BLESSINGS - Ron

Thank you Ron for simplifiyng this for me, I have been trying to find a way to tell my sister how wrong this is and that I won't be convinced into 'going for a visit' to the medium....unfortunately, she is already 'hooked' and has been for many years....

In Christ

I just joined this site a few mins ago and the advice you gave is great..and so true.

Hey Moomins,

I think the first step and the most important step to take is to come to realization that God 's Word is true and to tell Him that. What He says is more important and more accurate than anything we see in the natural or anything someone says, no matter how much that person look wise by giving us facts that does not line up completely with God's Word.
For example, a doctor can come and say there is a cancer in someone body, the facts are there, it is true and the person is going to die, but what did God say? that person is healed by Jesus stripes and I believe if we just bless God and honor what He says, only HIM at any given siatuation, God will honor us by showing us what to do and He will give us the needed peace and joy in a particular situation.
In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom (Daniel 1:20). I encourage you my sister to look up every scripture on mediums and may our Lord guide you and lead you where you need to be guided and be led in Jesus name.

There is such a thing as a familiar spirit. The name suggests their function. They are familiar with habits and situations. They know many things about us. The familiar spirits can imitate a person's voice or a sound, a fragrance. I know, it's creepy.

The witch of endor had familiar spirits and a spirit of divination. Paul was supposed to have all of these people put out of the land, and yet at least one remained that we know of. Paul wanted to talk to Samuel after Samuel was dead. The witch did not recognize Paul at first and yet it says he was head and shoulders above others in the kingdom. Consulting a medium can cloud your thoughts. Some of that may come from a reliance on or addiction to the spirit.

I used to be a spiritualist and supposedly a good witch. I have this list of things I used to do that I'm not proud of. I had a lot of bad spirit power. I could have been the head spiritualist in the midwest. I was offered the job. I knew exactly where my power came from. Most people dabble with this stuff, and they have no idea what they're doing. Speaking with honestly and straight from the depths of my heart, you and your sister don't want to mess around with that stuff.

God is rich in mercy. I am very thankful for that. Mercy means you don't get what you deserve. God chose me, and there's nothing that I did to deserve His love. Some of the others on this site probably know that I didn't receive a lot of love in my home life.

When true love came into view, I had never felt anything like it. Jesus Christ is my Lord. The lving word has changed me. I'll never be the same.

God bless,
Mary O.

Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy, God comes to give life, and it more abundantly.

He says that Jesus is the door, that we need to enter, to get to him, and if we come in any other way, we are a theif and a robber.

Going thru a medium, is exactly that.... the wrong door.

You see, Satan wanted to be worshiped..... from the beginning, and he actually attempted an overthrow of God kingdom, however, he did not fully understand the power of the King of Glory.... and he ended up kicked out of Heaven.

He is now, on the earth, and he still wants to be worshiped....

He goes about this in many diff. ways, spiritism, witchcraft, New Age Mysticism, and a host of other ways.

The bible says, to Choose you, this day, whom you will serve.

Love your sister, and pray for God to give her his true enlightenment, so that she will stop being deceived.

And by all means, please don't follow in her footsteps.

Hi Moomins,the bible clearly states in Leviticus 19,do not rely on mediums and psychics,for you will be defiled by them.I am the Lord your God.These people have a familar spirit and from such people stay away from.The devil was once an angel of light,he is skilled in deceit and deception.I believe consulting psychics opens a portal for the devil to take control of one,s mind.In my opinion this is akin to viewing ponography it seems harmless at first but this opens a door and defiles the mind and body.Just as in the garden of eden God said if you eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you would surely die.We all know the story of what happens next,because we are still living in the curse.My policy is if the bible says it I believe it,no questions asked.

[sandra v villamero]

Medium is a trick or devils work. The devil can as much do what our LORD can only he could not raise the dead whereas our GOD is able. The devican prosper but it wont last while that coming from our LORD always full to the brimand continue to flow. Be on guard sis, you have the bible with you and trust GOD alone and not HIS creature.
