Consulting Mediums/Psychic Readings

Scripture is clear that channeling and attempting to contact the dead is wrong. Seeking advice from mediums, necromancers and fortune-tellers is forbidden. Leviticus 19:31 addresses this issue: “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 20:6 says, “I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people.” Deuteronomy 18:12 says that consulting mediums or channeling the dead is detestable. We can see from Scripture that God sees these practices as not only sinful, but also without benefit. Instead of turning to mediums in trouble times, we should turn to God and trust Him in every moment. God wants us to trust Him in every moment of our lives. No matter what your circumstances are, remember, you can’t control life. Jesus offers a more effective way to live, not a life without trouble or pain but one that shows us how to trust God in every moment. In that trust comes true life.
