(Harbinger’s Daily)—In my last article, I discussed the dangers of divination. It is one of three main practices which falls under the umbrella of the occult. In this article, we move on to an examination of Mediums with a view to understanding why God gives such a clear warning against the use of them. Given that the US psychic services industry alone is valued at $2.3 billion, it is a warning that seems to be falling on deaf ears.
A Medium is a person who communicates with the spirit world. In Leviticus 19:31, God says very clearly: “Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD.” This was no mere suggestion. God took this matter very seriously, evidenced by the severity of the punishment – death. Leviticus 20:27: “A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.”
Despite the warning, two kings consulted Mediums. The evil king Manasseh did so as recorded in 2 Kings 21:6: “Also he made his son pass through the fire, practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft, and consulted spiritists and mediums. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.” The second was Saul. After Samuel’s death, the Scriptures record that Saul had removed the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Although this was one of the more positive actions he took during his reign, terrible irony was to come. In fear and desperation, he sought for that which he removed, proving that he was not only a sinner but also a hypocrite. 1 Samuel 28:7 reads: “Then Saul said to his servants, ‘Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.’ And his servants said to him, ‘In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.’”
According to the website operated by California Psychics, “Most Mediums begin their process of accessing spirits on the Other Side by using meditation. They also employ some form of psychic self-defense to protect them from dark entities. This protection involves varying techniques, such as prayer and affirmations, surrounding themselves with white light, and stepping into an envisioned bubble shield. Some tap into subtle energies using tools such as Tarot or through scrying using a crystal ball.”
In my last article, I pointed out that divination relies on the use of Tarot cards and scrying and therefore we see here a clear connection between divination and Mediumship since practitioners openly admit that divination is a gateway to the spirit world.
