In this compelling message from our “Stranger Beings” series, we dive into the reality of spiritual warfare, the nature of Satan, and the importance of staying within God’s protection. Using scripture as our foundation, we uncover the dangers of seeking supernatural experiences outside of God’s will.
Key Scriptures Covered:
Job 1:6-12 — God’s conversation with Satan about the limits and protection placed around His people.
Luke 16:19-31 — A biblical account showing the impossibility of communicating with the dead.
1 Samuel 28 — Saul’s attempt to consult a medium and the consequences.
Leviticus 19:31 & 20:27 — Direct prohibitions against mediums and spiritists.
Romans 8:9 — Assurance that Christians, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, cannot be demon-possessed.
Key Points:
Satan is a real adversary, seeking to influence and harm God’s children.
God establishes spiritual boundaries of protection for those who follow Him.
Engaging with the supernatural apart from God—such as through mediums, tarot cards, horoscopes, or occult practices—places individuals in spiritual danger and outside of God’s protection.
The Bible clearly instructs believers not to seek out supernatural insight or power outside of God’s provision through Scripture and prayer.
Those who recognize they have stepped outside of God’s protection are encouraged to confess, renounce these practices, and return fully to God’s care.
Takeaway: Stay vigilant, hold firmly to God’s Word, and avoid all forms of spiritual practice apart from what God provides. The safest place for every believer is within the boundaries set by God’s truth and protection.
