The reason I have spent time preparing definitions of the paganic forbidden practices listed below is because the Bible tells us that we should not be ignorant of Satan's devices.
"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices" (2 Corinthians 2:11)
If we do not know what these things are or that they exist this will give satan a chance to take advantage of us because we did not know that we should have avoided them. If we do not avoid all of them (meaning have nothing to do with any of them) any one of them may lead us down satan's slippery path and away from the Truth of God. A very important thing to remember is that you should never dwell on these things (to dwell on them means to have a fascination with them. This can be very dangerous). You need to know what they are only, so you can avoid them. So study them, but don't think about them at all, ok?
WHAT IS A FORBIDDEN PRACTICE?
A forbidden practice is something that is an abomination to the Lord. This means Gods hates these things and does not want His children to have any thing to do with them. God tells us very clearly nine things that He hates.
"When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. here shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God (Deuteronomy 18:9-13).
God wants us to stay away from these things, because He wants to control us, to deprive us of that which is evil, and because He knows these things are very dangerous. He wants us to stay away from these things regardless of what form they are in. For example, these occult practices may be the theme of a game, or a movie, or a book. If any of these themes are in something, do yourself a favor and avoid it.
NINE FORBIDDEN PRACTICES
These things are forbidden because they are used to take the place of God's guidance:
1). THAT MAKETH HIS SON OR HIS DAUGHTER TO PASS THROUGH THE FIRE - human sacrifice, or in modern terms, an abortion. (Lev. 18:21, 2 Kings 16:3, 17:17, 21:6, 23:10. 2 Chron. 33:6, Jer. 32:35). No one is ever to kill without God's permission. A baby not born yet is just as alive as you and me because God also created and formed this life.
Beware of: Abortion doctors, joos, pagans, members of the ACLU, feminazis, lesbians.
2). DIVINATION - the practice or art of discovering hidden knowledge and foretelling future events by occult supernatural means. Fortune-teller or psychic. (2 Kings 17:17, Jer. 27:8-9, Acts 16:16-24). Never go to a psychic or fortune-teller for any reason. God is the creator of the universe and He alone only knows your future.
Beware of: psychics, fortune tellers, Ouija board, crystal ball, tarot cards, tea leaf reading, etc.
3). OBSERVER OF TIMES - same as astrology or stargazing. It is another form of divination. It is a person who looks to the stars for guidance. (Isa. 47:12-15, Jer. 10:2, Dan.1:20, 5:7,11,15). We should beware of horoscopes or anything that takes the place of God's direction. God is our guidance, not some joo playing with numbers. Horoscopes may appear to be harmless, but they become addictive. Reading horoscopes are another form of accepting and honoring occult practices that God has clearly condemned. They are written by people who believe in astrology and are disobeying God.
Beware of: astrology, horoscopes, numerology, palm readers, etc.
4). ENCHANTER - A magician; or sorcerer. One who casts spells; or bewitches. (2 Kings 17:17, Jer. 27:9). Avoid anything that has to do with magic. Remember, it doesn't matter if it appears good, magic is something God hates.
Beware of: yoga, meditation, mantras, hypnotism, subliminal tapes, New Age Medicine; etc.
5).WITCH - a person who practices magic. One who deals with demonic spirits . They practice black or white magic (Exo. 22:18, 2 Chron. 33:6, 1 Sam. 15:23, Gal. 5:19-21). There is no such thing as good magic. Both come from satan.
Beware of: pagan, wicca, white or black magic, casting spells, séances, etc.
6). CHARMER -- to put a spell upon someone; to change things by the use of magic; the chanting of a magical verse or formula. (Isa. 19:3) An object or piece of jewelry used for magical purposes.
Beware of: occult symbols, talisman, amulets, crystals, New Age positive thinking and catlicker confession; etc.
7). CONSULTER WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS- to ask, demand, or desire of an evil or demon spirit. (2 Kings 21:6, 2 Chron. 33:6, Isa. 19:3). A person called a medium believes they are contacting the dead, but in reality what they are really contacting is an evil spirit that is pretending to be the dead.
Beware of: channeling, spiritism, mediums, space brothers, ascended masters, invisible spirit friends, ouija boards, automatic wring, séances; etc
8). WIZARD - A person who knows many things about the occult and is in touch with demonic spirits. A male witch, a sorcerer, or magician, conjurer; one who uses magic to have control over another person; also someone who uses magic to change nature (2 Kings 17:17, 21:6, 2 Chron. 33:6, Isa. 19:3).
Beware of: Visualization, sorcery, mantra, astral travel, clairvoyance; etc.
9). NECROMANCER - A person who claims they have spoken with those who have died already. Contact is made for magical and fortune telling purposes (1 Sam. 1-25, Isa. 8:19, 1 Chron. 10:13-14). Again it is not the dead that they are contacting but evil demonic spirit who pretend to be the deceased.
Beware of: channeling, medium, spiritism, ouija boards, sorcery, voodoo; etc.
I pray that all of you stay clear of the above paganic practices. No matter what smooth words they use to lure you in, don't listen! You very soul is at stake! Satan will tell these vile practicers of evil to deny deny deny, then accuse accuse accuse, but pay them no mind!! Shut down your mind, do not think about what the paginites do, and remember to tithe robustly to please Jesus, who died for three days in order to wash away our sins. GLORY!!
