Don’t dabble in the occult or traffic with mediums; you’ll pollute your souls. I am GOD, your God (Leviticus 19:31 MSG).
In 1 Samuel 28:7-23, we read about the desperate act of King Saul when he sought out a woman practising divination to call up the spirit of Samuel, though Samuel had already died. Saul, troubled and without divine guidance, resorted to something forbidden, consulting with a medium—a witch.
The Bible makes it clear that Saul’s actions were grievous to God. Saul knew God’s law but deliberately sought out a familiar spirit. In 1 Chronicles 10:13-14, the Bible confirms Saul’s disobedience, stating that Saul died for his transgression of seeking counsel from one with a familiar spirit.
Saul knew this was wrong as he had driven out witches and wizards from the land as seen in 1 Samuel 28:9. Yet, in his desperation, he turned to the very evil he had once condemned. God had given an instruction in Exodus 22:18: “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” He had also explicitly forbidden consulting familiar spirits: “Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God” (Leviticus 19:31).
Also, Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says, “There 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 a 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….” Furthermore, Isaiah 8:19-20 warns: “And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
Don’t consult with mediums; it’s not of God. Divination is wrong in all forms, whether consulting familiar spirits of the living, the dead, or demons. It’s wrong to seek the future by consulting the spirits of the dead. Instead, you’re to consult the Holy Spirit for guidance concerning anything in life, and He lives in you. Glory to God!
