Witchcraft and Divination

Satan always counterfeits the things of the Lord to deceive people. He wants to make people think that there are alternatives to God's way and God's power. In reality, none of his deceptions is in any way as powerful as God's way. The people of Canaan were a deceived people. they practiced witchcraft and divination. God hates both, and He has not allowed His people to do those things. (Deuteronomy 18:14) We need to heed His commands from this chapter.

Many Christians today read their horoscopes, and they keep up with the signs of the zodiac believing there is truth in them. They are practicing divination by doing them. They are trying to get a glimpse of the future by what they learn. That is wrong. Also, we have around us people who practice witchcraft and sorcery. We must stay away from those dark religions, knowing they are from Satan. The same goes for any other pagan practices like the worship of the planets and such. We only need to look to the Lord and His Word for all of the guidance we will ever need.

Tomorrow, I intend to read Deuteronomy 21-23.
