In the previous section we exposed the hypocrisy of nominal ‘Christians’ who continue in superstitions and open themselves to demonic influence. Here we discuss the Christian view of; fortune telling, stargazing, Tarot cards, good-luck charms, and what God thinks of that ‘Cross in your pocket’.
Suckered into Stargazing
Astrology and horoscopes are another example. Notice how many people claim to be Christian, yet are happy to tell you what birth-sign they were born under, and regularly read their daily horoscope for ‘amusement’. To venture into this is to flirt with demons. Using Tarot cards is another occult snare.
God mocks those who trust in astrology: Holy Bible Is. 47:13-14 KJV
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
The LORD hates it. Repent, renounce it, get rid of everything associated with it, and you will be blessed.
Good Luck is a Very Bad Habit
Habits are another area where superstition abounds. ‘Essential’ traditional routines inspired by old housewives.
‘Say white rabbit on the first of every month for good luck.’
‘Don’t walk under ladders or it will bring bad luck’.
‘The first person to cross the threshold of your home on New Year’s day must be a tall dark man’.
There are countless local variations, and Africans, and Chinese are masters of this sin. Held in bondage by superstition and fear.
To trust in luck, fate, or fortune is to trust in demons. You are responsible for your own life and actions. Trust in God, in His word, and His Spirit.
Satan’s Priests of Religion
Religion thrives on superstition: Satan’s counterfeit of Christianity: Catholicism, is wall to wall superstition, based not upon God’s word, but on Ancient Baal worship of the Babylonians. The Catholic Mass is pure idolatry, ‘crossing’ yourself, and praying the rosary are wicked demonic rituals.
Muslims also delight in superstitions and man-made traditions. The entire Hajj experience of journeying to Mecca and performing the traditional rites is entirely demonic. No wonder hundreds die each year in frantic hysterical rituals there.
Hinduism and Buddhism are replete with superstitions. I have many Buddhist and Hindu friends, and they are completely bound by such nonsense. For example, in a modern Asian city a corrupt police chief was exposed. In order to redeem himself he was advised by monks to publicly climb a ladder and pour water over a huge Buddha statue, as an ‘act of penance’.
Launched into Hell
The ‘Christian’ kings and queens of England have no compunction about launching new ships in a naming ceremony that is a thinly disguised satanic ‘blessing’.
Smashing a bottle of Bubbly across the bows pronouncing the ‘blessing’ with all the panache of a tribal shaman:
“I name this ship SS Titanic, may God bless her and all who sail in her!”
You can almost hear demons chuckling. So it goes on.
Have a Clean-Out
Do a self-check, make sure you get rid of all your idols, lucky charms, crosses, medallions, and demonic symbols today. Repent of trusting in fate, destiny, and luck: It’s sin. Put your whole trust in the Living Christ, follow Him wholeheartedly.
Then Almighty God will bless you with peace, joy, and freedom!
Endnote on Christian Cross Idols: Nominal Christians often wear or carry a cross of some description. Plain or with a dead Jesus on it. They naively claim that it is not a charm, talisman, or an idol, but ‘The Cross in My Pocket is merely a reminder of Christ’s death for us’.
When you point out that God wants them to destroy it, they flinch, pleading, ‘But my dear departed Granny gave it to me, and made me promise to wear it always!’
It is an idol, and they leave themselves open to bondage and demonic oppression through such junk.
Listen: Christians do not worship the Cross, or revere the Cross. Christians worship The Living Christ who died on a cross, and they follow Him. It is His Sacrifice that is the heart of the Gospel, not the lump of wood we nailed Him to. Satan will use that instrument of torture and death, and images of it, to lure suckers into idolatry and sin. Here’s a vivid example: A beautiful Indian woman, deaf from birth, is healed by a miracle, but her deafness returns when she clings to an idol.
