Divination: any attempt to foretell the unknown by occult means
It is very clear that the God of the Bible strictly forbids all forms of divination. This includes all forms of mediumship, channeling, witchcraft [Wicca], occultism, psychic, fortune telling, tarot cards, reading tea leaves, etc. Divination is forbidden by God because it unlocks the door to the world of the demonic and spiritual deception.
- Leviticus 19:31 – Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
- Leviticus 20:6 – And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
- 1 Samuel 15:23 – For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Divination also includes forms of Contemplative Centering Prayer whereby contact with the spirit world [demonic] can easily be made. This occult prayer method [which many Christianize] can and does oftentimes lead to the full conversion of ones spirituality to a pantheistic, panentheistic, Eastern occult view of reality. This form of prayer divination places into the minds of humans ideas that are not only unbiblical, but thoroughly occult and antichrist. The Self-induction and alteration of ones consciousness [into the Alpha-state], which so often is engaged in by undiscerning people, can quickly lead to full blown spirit contact, “snapping”, and even demonic possession. Thorough documentation is abounding in Indian Yogic Spirituality; Self-Realization cults, etc. The following list clearly shows the may ways that divination has been practiced throughout the ages.
