Are Psychics inspired by the True God?

Let's talk spirits and dead people.

In my earlier post on Hell, I made it very clear that there are no ghosts or spirits or eternal soul. There is absolutely no scriptural evidence to support. So if people who use Ouija boards and psychics to communicate with their dead loved ones, who are they talking with? Demons, devils. Simple. If Lucifer who is now Satan can look like a angel shining in the righteousness of God, how much simpler is it to look and sound like a dead loved one. For devils, it is a cheap parlour trick but an important one. This trick has lead millions to believe in the afterlife for centuries.

Spirits or demons being able to manifest themselves in a humanoid form either as a smoke or a mist did not start with the rise of spiritualism after World War 1 in England and the United Sates of America. It existed and happened centuries before.

In the modern world, there are many ways that this great deception is propelled. The most popular and dangerous in my opinion is the Ouija board or spirit boards. I am shocked that this "board game" is presented as a harmless game for children eight years and older. It is a dangerous tool that can put many innocent children at risk of having a life long connection with the occult and demonic influences and energies. Other popular ways would be psychics, fortune tellers, spirit mediums or spirit channellers.

Even in the Bible, it is very clear that communion with demons manifesting themselves as spirits of the dead was an abomination in the sight of the Lord and was frowned upon by Christians. I want to make it very clear that these spirits can predict future events and even reveal secrets to the person seeking to connect with them but it is important to remember that accuracy does not mean it is of God. The Devil knows exactly what he is planning to do and how he is going to do it so it is not strange for him an accurate prediction of series of events.

1 Samuel 28:3-25
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.

And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.

And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.

And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.

And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.

And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

10 And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.

11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.

12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.

13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.

15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.

16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?

17 And the Lord hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:

18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day.

19 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the Lord also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.

22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.

23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.

24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:

25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
I will end this post with this passage to illustrate the long history of spiritualism and witchcraft and will provide a deeper analysis on it soon.
