Consulting spirits is a well-known phenomenon, but many people are not aware of the danger of consulting spirits. People consult spirits for various reasons. They are curious about their future or seek insight in the spiritual realm and secret knowledge and wisdom, they want to consult the spirits of the dead and communicate with a deceased relative, दोस्त, or acquaintance. People used to go to a medium, a witch doctor, or a shaman, who have familiar spirits and can communicate with spirits and the dead. तथापि, nowadays, लोग, especially young people, take matters into their own hands to consult spirits and communicate with spirits and consult the dead, and speak to the ghosts of ancestors. They communicate with spirits (of the dead) through means of a pendulum, a glass, candles, mirrors, a three-legged table, pictures, games (Ouija board game, pencil game; Charlie Charlie challenge), spirit and ghost apps, meditation, occult ceremonies, trance, वगैरह. But why is consulting spirits dangerous? What does the Bible say about consulting spirits and the dead and the occult practice of divination?
What is the Charlie Charlie challenge?
The Charlie Charlie challenge aka the pencil game is very popular among students. Many students are lured into the occult realm through curiosity. Because isn’t this a great and easy way to find out what will happen in the future? The only thing you need is two pencils, a piece of paper and consult a spirit called Charlie. That’s it!
The Charlie Charlie challenge is a variant of the Ouija game. The essence of these games is that by consulting the spirits of the dead (राक्षसों), you will get answers to your questions by means of a pointer tool; pencils, pointer, वगैरह.
But what happens when you consult spirits and get an unpleasant or undesirable answer? If something else will happen, that you have not asked for? What happens, when these spirits show up in your life and start harassing and tormenting you? Are these spirit games really innocent or not? Is consulting spirits and consulting the dead indeed harmless as so many people say and believe or not? What’s the danger of consulting spirits?
What happens in the spiritual realm when you are consulting spirits (of the dead)
What many people often don’t know, is when you participate and start consulting spirits, you enter the spirit realm in your own power; soulish power and become a partaker of the spiritual occult realm and you will pay the price for that. You cannot be involved in the occult realm, without any consequences.
You enter the spiritual realm in your own power; soul power, and by consulting spirits and the dead, you invite evil spirits (राक्षसों) to enter your life.
They shall enter your life and give what you asked for and take possession of your life (body and soul).
The devil wants you to become a partaker of the occult. When you enter his territory, he enters your life, takes possession of your life and causes a lot of harm, problems and pain in your life.
The devil and his demons want to communicate with people, possess people and live in people. Because people are their access into the natural realm. They have one mission and that’s to destroy people; humanity. Because people are the crown of God’s creation.
Many church visitors move into the occult
If you become a partaker of witchcraft by consulting spirits and inquire them, the devil and demons are more than willing to give you what you asked for. They will give you (secret) ज्ञान और बुद्धि, which are in reality lies from the darkness. They will give you, what you’ve asked for. But they don’t give it freely. They always want something in return and that is your life.
There are a lot of people, who partake in witchcraft, even people, who say they are Christians and go to church.
How many ‘Christians’ go to church and visit a fortune-teller? How many ‘Christians’ go to church and consult spirits and practice witchcraft? How many ‘Christians’ have a familiar spirit or read their horoscope?
हाँ, you read that correctly, even reading a horoscope is a source of fortune-telling. When you read a horoscope, even if it’s just for fun, you open the door for familiar spirits; for demons, to enter your life.
You cannot play with the devil
You cannot play with the devil, not even a little bit. As soon as you enter his territory, he catches you and takes you captive, despite your intentions. The devil will take you captive, torment you and eventually destroy you, because that’s his character. Even if you didn’t mean to, that doesn’t matter to him. He will take you captive. It may all seem like a game to you, but it isn’t a game to him.
As soon as you consult and invite him, evil spirits; familiar spirits, and spirits of witchcraft, divination, यौन अशुद्धता, अवसाद, डर, चिंता, अनिद्रा, deception, paranoia, and death enter your life. These evil spirits cause mental problems and illness in your life.
It could be, that only one evil spirit (demon) enters. But it’s also possible that more evil spirits enter your life.
These evil spirits can manifest immediately. But they can also manifest after a while. But one thing is for sure, they will enter your life and manifest in your life.
It could be that you suddenly hear audible voices in your head, telling you what to do. These are the voices of evil spirits, who control your mind and by obeying them, control your life.
You need a higher authority to make evil spirits leave your life
These evil spirits will not leave by themselves, because why should they? आख़िरकार, you have invited them into your life. Only someone with a higher authority and power can make them leave and that Someone is of course: यीशु मसीह!
Only in the ईसा मसीह का नाम; in His authority, a person can be set free of every oppression, bondage, and possession of the devil!
और कोई रास्ता नहीं, and no other person, who can deliver a person. Not a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a (witch)doctor, a shaman, nor by therapies, अनुष्ठान, or medicines.
Only Jesus Christ can set you free!
बहुत सारे लोग है, who were not aware of the danger of consulting spirits and have become involved in the occult, through divination, जादू टोना, fortune-telling, necromancy, वगैरह।, and suffer pain and torment in their souls and bodies (mental disorders and physical illness).
Sometimes their mental disorders are so severe, that they have to be hospitalized. They get treatment for their mental disorder and are given drugs (medicines) to control them.
तथापि, the drugs will not cure the person. The drugs will only eliminate particular functions in their brains (दिमाग) and their body. So that these evil spirits won’t manifest themselves.
But drugs don’t cast out demons and cure the person.
People’s curiosity leads to spiritual torment
How many people are held captive in isolation and are tormented and ravaged by these evil spirits? Only because they were curious about their future or wanted to gain more secret wisdom or speak with a deceased family member or friend?
दुर्भाग्य से, doctors, psychologists, and their treatments (including drugs) can’t help the suffering patient one bit. ऐसा क्यों? Because the cause of their problem is in the spiritual realm, not in the physical realm (natural realm).
These demons come from the spiritual realm, but manifest themselves in the natural realm; in the life of a person. Therefore these demons can only be cast out by a person with a higher power of authority in the spiritual realm.
Evil spirits cannot be cast out through natural means, like drugs, treatments, therapies, occult methods and rituals, वगैरह.
When a person, with a mental disorder, is hospitalized or locked up in a treatment center, the situation will not become better, but it will only become worse and end up in death.
These evil spirits can only be cast out in the Name of Jesus. Only by the Word; Jesus and by His blood, a person can be delivered and set free from these evil spirits.
What does the Bible say about consulting spirits?
What does the Bible say about consulting spirits of the dead and divination and the danger? The Bible says the following about consulting spirits:
Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: मैं तुम्हारा स्वामी, परमेश्वर हूँ (छिछोरापन 19:31)
And the soul that turns after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God (छिछोरापन 20:6-7)
There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses 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. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee (व्यवस्था विवरण 18:10-12)
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness (यशायाह 8:19-22)
What happens in your life when you become involved in the occult
When you go to someone, who has a familiar spirit; a wizard, a witch (doctor), a medium, a charmer, a fortune-teller, a shaman, a consulter with familiar spirits, or a necromancer, you will be defiled; contaminated, और अशुद्ध.
When you consult and inquire spirits by yourself or with a group of people, you will also be defiled by the kingdom of darkness. A familiar spirit will enter, and take other spirits with him to possess you. Your wisdom may increase, and maybe you can predict the future through channeling spirits, but the devil and these evil spirits will control your life.
In the life of Saul, we see what eventually happened after he consulted a woman with a familiar spirit and consulted a dead person: Saul committed suicide (1 शमूएल 28:7-25; 31:4-5).
You should only consult God and the Word of God and nothing or no one else. You shouldn’t be curious about future events or have the desire to speak to deceased a family member or friend, but you should lay your lives into the hands of God and trust God for the future.
Sometimes God reveals things to you and sometimes God won’t. But if you make and keep Jesus; शब्द, the Center of your life, and make Him your Rock and Refuge, then all things will be well.
Has the Church become a social institution?
Over the years, the church has become a social institution instead of a powerful force of God. There is little or no power anymore. चर्च, which is the Body of Christ with Jesus Christ as the Head, should be the most powerful spiritual institution of the world, but what happens nowadays, is that instead of setting people free and delivering them from the oppression of the darkness, many churches direct people to doctors, psychologists, and other worldly institutions.
The church has become a carnal humanistic and social institution, built upon the knowledge and the works of man, instead of Jesus Christ; जीवित शब्द, and His work.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power: In Whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, Who hath raised Him from the dead (कुलुस्सियों 2:8-12)
The church should पछताना of its terrible deeds and return to Jesus; शब्द, and build upon Him. It’s about time, that the church is getting to know its real enemy and start recognizing and acknowledging the spiritual realm, and the spiritual warfare they are in.
It’s about time that they learn about God’s Kingdom, which is a spiritual Kingdom. But the only way that someone can learn about God’s Kingdom and enter the Kingdom is by becoming born again in the spirit, पवित्र आत्मा की शक्ति से. It’s time to rise up in the Word, to get to know the Word; यीशु. To become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven; भगवान का एक पुत्र, who walks after the Spirit, and not after the flesh, and shall establish the Kingdom of God upon this earth.
How can we as a church establish the Kingdom of God upon this earth? By setting people free from the oppression of the devil and bring the good news of Jesus Christ, which will draw people to repentance.
There are so many people, who are being tormented and suffer from the oppression of the devil. They go to physicians, but no one can help them.
Jesus Christ can set you free
Only the real sons of God can set people free in the Name of Jesus the Christ. I write the ‘real sons’ of God, because some think they’re sons of God, but live just like the world; having the same life as someone, who doesn’t know Jesus and has no relationship with God, through Jesus. They say they do, but they don’t. Because otherwise they wouldn’t do the same works as the world and find ‘solutions’ for their problems in the secular world. I will write more about this, and how the Word of God warns us for ministers of iniquity in another blog.
Maybe you are a Christian and have been consulting spirits, and reading horoscopes, or maybe you went to a fortune-teller, medicine man, wizard, witch doctor, वगैरह।, and suffer from the oppression of the darkness. Then all you have to do is confess your sin, ask forgiveness to the Lord, and command these evil spirits to leave your body and your soul in the Name of Jesus.
If you doubt your authority in Jesus Christ and are not sure if you have the power to command these spirits of darkness to leave, then find someone, who does know his/her authority in Jesus Christ.
Find a Christian, who can help you, and can set you free from this oppression
The spiritual realm is real. Just because the unregenerate man cannot see the spiritual world, will not say, that it doesn’t exist.
You cannot see the wind, but the wind exists, because you see the results of the wind. तथापि, you cannot control the wind via natural means (sources from the secular world (natural world)) यह असंभव है.
This is the same thing with evil spirits (राक्षसों). You cannot see them, but they do exist. Because you see the result of these spirits. तथापि, you cannot control these evil spirits (राक्षसों) through natural means; by using natural tools, therapies, theories, तरीकों, medicines (drugs), वगैरह.
Meditate on the Word day and night
Take the Bible; दैवीय कथन, और अपने मन को नवीनीकृत करें with His words. वचन पर मनन करो, दिन और रात and let the Word not depart from you. Grow up in the Word, so that you will grow up into the image of Jesus Christ.
If you are an unbeliever, and you have been consulting spirits, and have been a partaker of the occult, and you would like to be set free from the powers of darkness, then go to a church in your area, that is able to set you free in the Name of Jesus Christ.
There is a way out; there is hope, and His Name is Jesus Christ, but it’s up to you to take the first step.
और उन्होंने रियासतों और शक्तियों को नष्ट कर दिया, उन्होंने खुलेआम उनका प्रदर्शन किया, इसमें उन पर विजय प्राप्त करना (कुलुस्सियों 2:15)
'पृथ्वी का नमक बनो’
