Psychics

Went onto a Facebook thread this week that involved people seeking a psychic for whatever reason.

I understand that the world is seeking answers,  and I have the answer but the answer I have people don't want to seek.

VERY  FRUSTRATING.

now as bad as it all is, what makes it worse, WAY WORSE...is that some of the people in our church were on there making appointments.  

Now, before you throw your hands up in the air and ask what kind of church this actually is... we run a new church here at Craigieburn and it has loads of new baby Christians, and many also, who are just here checking things out...not committed to Christ yet, that's part of the journey of planting a Church..... so it is expected that there will always be people who are on various stages of growth.

If you are reading this..and you have been doing this psychic thing...

you don't need to do it, you need to seek Jesus and His Holy Spirit, it will be better than anything and everything else you could ever imagine.

In fact I will be speaking  on this matter on Sunday and will not be holding back.  My responsibility under God is to speak for Him... I will not shrink back from that task.

God has something to say about this... have a read of this, it will help...

^{Deuteronomy 18}

⁹ When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. ¹⁰ Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, ¹¹ or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or psychic or who consults the dead. ¹² Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. ¹³ You must be blameless before the LORD your God.

one of my big concerns is that some people seem to settle for way less than Gods best...and Gods ways.

all I can do is speak out the truth, be obedient to what He has asked me to do, 

Pray.... and believe that God will win in the end. 

in the interim.... here's what I believe...

there is a battle going on...it is  for the hearts and minds of real people like you and me.

the battle is fierce and the stakes are huge.

satan desires us to lose focus and put our attention on anything other than God.

satan will make something(anything) appear to be harmless so that we will turn away from God and Gods ways.

God is polite and does not force himself upon us, waiting for us to choose Him. 

but allowing us total freedom if we choose against Him.

but choose carefully I say, for we all suffer the ramifications and consequences of our choices.

every choice has a consequence at some level or the other.

the old saying is true, "you make your bed you  have to lay in it...."

all I can hope is that God, who loves all people and desires for all people to enter heaven, will win in the end.

that people will choose heaven over hell.

take the words of the Bible as truth....understand clearly what they say, share in the inheritance that awaits you as you live for Jesus Christ, and know...true peace and life and hope.... the stuff that God brings to His kids.
