Now the Spirit expressly says that in
latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits
and doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1).
Today, the civilized world is facing a
revival of the satanic cult of hypnotism and all other cultic practices. They
are continuously promoted by television and the popular press, with bizarre ads
appearing frequently in a variety of occult-slanted advertising, to raise the
goose pimples of the dabblers in the unknown.
It ought to shock us to realize that our
generation is spending millions of dollars seeking thrills and “truth” from
soothsayers, fortune tellers, crystal gazers, clairvoyance, hypnotists, and
mediums. In our social life, we are spending millions of dollars for anything
that promises to tell us the future. America is on the brink of the pit of
disaster into which the nation Israel fell when King Saul consulted a witch for
advice. When man refuses to hear or obey the voice of God, inevitably, he is
forced to seek some other voice to guide him. That other voice is the voice of
the devil!
Your mind must not be clouded by fear and
phobia. It must not be confused by conflicting ideas. It must not be yielded up
to strange, psychic powers. At all costs, your mind must not be destroyed,
because it is the seat of your will; the place where you must make all the
proper decisions about how you should live, and prepare yourself to meet with
God at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I urge you never to have your fortune told,
never consult an astrologer about your future, never offer your mind to anyone
who wishes to hypnotize you, never attend a meeting of oriental cults, but keep
yourself pure and clean before God.
