A Divine Warning
October 26th, 2007A few days ago Liz and I were out for lunch. At the table just beside ours an interesting conversation was going on. Three middle-aged ladies were discussing a recent trip to a fortune teller. The serious nature of the issue was evident in their tone and excitement. We could not help being in the conversation as the tables were very close together. It was most interesting to hear the women describe what the medium had told them about their past and the future.
A recent ad in the Pensacola News Journal advertised a Saturday night séance. The date for the event is Saturday, October 27 and the cost to attend is $25. While the ad did not say so, some are under the impression this is a fundraiser for the Saenger Theatre. The headline in the ad calls this “Friends of the Saenger Saturday Night Séance.” It is being held at the old Civil War Soldier Museum on Palafox Sreet. Here is the description of the night’s event: “Local psychic, Sharon Renae, will host the séance designed to channel information from the other side. Is there someone who has passed on who is trying to communicate with you? Join us for a possible answer to that question. Renae’s clients cover the globe and she continues to receive warm accolades from those who visit with her. This event is not recommended for children under the age of 13.”
Before you run downtown and drop $25 to talk with a dead person I suggest you read Leviticus 19:31 and Acts 16:16-18. Seems every year as Halloween approaches I have questions about such activities. Be certain the demonic is alive and well in our world. If you are a follower of Jesus, such events as I have described have no place in your life.

I will pray regarding this meeting. My prayer is that the Lord would cause circumstances to come up in His people’s lives that would keep them from going and that He would cause the people that do attend to dismiss everything they hear. Our job is to believe God to deliver us and keep us from evil. We are to place ourselves in situations that would be uplifting and not hinder us or tempt us. Thank you for sharing.
