For Messiah not Magic

“For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not appointed such for you.” [1]

We don't need superstition or magic. We need Jesus only!

The Lord says, “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord.” [2]

This would include but not be limited to Tarot cards, palm reading, Ouija Boards, horoscopes, etc. The Lord raised up a Prophet who spoke and speaks the truth. He is the Good Shepherd. He leads us to an eternal home with God. He is the perfect and unerring guide for us.

“Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’” [3]

Jesus is the only Savior from sin. To avoid eternal destruction and receive eternal blessedness it is necessary to believe in Him.

“The woman said to Him, ‘Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.’” [4]

“The woman said to Him, ‘I know that Messiah is coming’ (who is called Christ). ‘When He comes, He will tell us all things.’ Jesus said to her, ‘I who speak to you am He.’” [5]

“The woman then left her water pot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, ‘Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?’ Then they went out of the city and came to Him.” [6]

“And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, ‘He told me all that I ever did.’” [7]

Jesus is Messiah. He foretells of and gives us the best future when we trust in Him, namely eternal life.
