Leviticus 19:31<\/em><\/strong>

Have you ever\u00a0visited a psychic\/medium and regretted it later?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disclaimer:<\/strong>
\n***Please note that this is based upon my personal experience, and nothing more. I’ve had a couple of emails from a blog reader, stating that I should go into more detail as to why we shouldn’t visit a psychic. You can open yourself up to a whole forbidden world that could do tons of damage – affecting your salvation. I didn’t go into this reasoning in this blog post since I’m talking about one isolated incident that happened to me. I don’t know or understand the spirit world and we really need to rely on Jesus, trust in HIM with our future. I invite you to respond accordingly with your own experiences – it’s hard to give more depth to this blog post since it’s a personal blog post that happened to me a long time ago…and I only did this one time (that was enough for me to learn to not do this again!). My reasoning about not visiting a psychic is minor compared to what’s happened to others. Also, this is a subject matter that is so broad – there are probably thousands upon thousands of books out there about this subject. It’s hard to cover every aspect in just one blog post – I can only speak about what happened to me – for further insight, I invite you to read the comments or post your own comment about your own experience (or experiences of others if you feel led to do that).<\/strong><\/p>\n

***I also wanted to point out that one of the commenters mentioned that a lot of psychics are scam artists.\u00a0Many people become addicted to\u00a0calling\u00a0psychic hotlines and such.\u00a0Again, I didn’t mention this in my blog post, but\u00a0it is a VERY IMPORTANT FACT and is mentioned in the comments. Feel free to share your thoughts!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several years ago, I took a trip alone to New Orleans. At the time, I was dating somebody and I was head-over-heels in love with this person. I wanted us to get married. I wanted this marriage to happen so badly that I visited a psychic in the French Quarter. I did this knowing it was wrong, but, I figured if she predicted this wedding, well, it would just make me feel better, make me feel more sure about my future. She asked me if I wanted to do tarot or palm reading. I told her I didn’t know. So she chose palm reading.<\/p>\n

She told me to close my eyes and make a wish. I wished for marriage to my boyfriend. When I opened my eyes, she said in a soft voice, “Your wish is going to come true.” My heart jumped when I heard this. She then said, “The wish that you made about the man will come true.” She said we’d have four children.\u00a0Surprisingly, she told me things about myself that were true. She even accurately predicted some things that would happen to me later that summer.<\/p>\n

So, I hung onto the hope of things working out in my romantic relationship. I figured the psychic had to be right about my budding romance, after all, she’d accurately predicted other things that had happened in my life. When my euphoric romance abruptly ended several months later, I was stunned! The first thing I thought during the breakup was, “But that psychic said we’d get married!” It was horrible, and that false hope made things so much worse and I also regretted visiting that psychic! I begged the Lord for forgiveness and since then,\u00a0when the subject comes up, I’ve always advised others not to dabble with psychics.<\/p>\n

I was raised with the knowledge that we should avoid psychics. That was the first and only time that I’d ever done this.<\/p>\n
