Ghosts? Real?
Are ghosts real? Many of the popular cable channels offer shows where you can watch mediums contact the dead.
Teens seem to think this is real. They have become involved in occult actiities at an alarming rate. This was according to a study conducted by George Barna. The study said that 73 percent of America’s youth has engaged in some type of psychic or withcraft related activitiy beyond watching TV and reading horoscopes. In addition 10 teens said they had participated in a seance and one out of 12 said they tried to cast a spell or mix a magic potion.
How about talking to Aunt Salley that died a year ago? There is a growing popularity of using mediums to contact the dead. Scripture supports the idea that Satan and his demons can impersonate dead humans. Why would they do this? Their goal is always to direct a person away from God.
Often they will use a person’s deep grief at the loss of a loved one to gain their attention. Once the person believes they are hearing from their loved one, and that they can renew contact with him or her through the psychic or medium, they are hooked on the supernatural experience. Satan can then use this to lure them away from God and into a myriad of other occult activities.
Ghosts are real. Psychic powers are real. -really dangerous. Operating in them can open up a person to satanic influences and practices that the Bible forbids.
