Ang consulting spirit ay isang kilalang phenomenon, ngunit maraming tao ang hindi alam ang panganib ng pagkonsulta sa mga espiritu. Mayroong iba't ibang mga dahilan kung bakit ang mga tao ay kumunsulta sa mga espiritu. They are curious about their future or seek insight in the spiritual realm and secret knowledge and wisdom, or they want to consult the dead and communicate with a deceased relative, kaibigan, o kakilala. People used to go to a medium, a witch doctor, or a shaman, who have familiar spirits and can communicate with spirits and the dead. Gayunpaman, nowadays, people consult spirits themselves and communicate with spirits and the dead, and speak to the ghosts of ancestors. They communicate with spirits (of the dead) through means of a pendulum, a glass, candles, salamin, a three-legged table, pictures, Mga Laro (Ouija board game, pencil game; Charlie Charlie challenge), spirit and ghost apps, Meditasyon, occult ceremonies, trance, atbp. But why is consulting spirits dangerous? What does the Bible say about consulting spirits and the dead, and the occult practice of divination?
What is the Charlie Charlie challenge?
The Charlie Charlie challenge, aka the pencil game, is very popular among students. Many students are lured into the occult realm through curiosity. Because isn’t this a great and easy way to find out what will happen in the future? The only things you need are two pencils, a piece of paper and consult a spirit called Charlie. Iyon lang!
The Charlie Charlie challenge is a variant of the Ouija game. The essence of these games is that by consulting the spirits of the dead (mga demonyo), you will get answers to your questions by using a pointer tool; pencils, pointer, atbp.
But what happens when you consult spirits and get an unpleasant or undesirable answer? Or something else happens that you have not asked for? What happens when these spirits show up in your life and start harassing and tormenting you? Are these spirit games really innocent or not?
Is consulting spirits and consulting the dead indeed harmless as so many people say and believe or not? Let’s look at the danger of consulting spirits.
What happens in the spiritual realm when you are consulting spirits (of the dead)?
What many people often don’t know is when you participate and start consulting spirits, you enter the spirit realm in your own power (soulish power) and become a partaker of the spiritual occult realm, and you will pay the price for that. You can’t move in the occult realm without any consequences.
You enter the spiritual realm in your own power (kapangyarihan ng kaluluwa), and by consulting spirits and the dead, you invite evil spirits (mga demonyo) to enter your life.
These evil spirits enter your life and give what you asked for and take possession of your life (katawan at kaluluwa).
The devil wants you to become a partaker of the occult. Because when you enter his territory, he enters your life, takes possession of your life, and causes a lot of harm, mga problema, and pain in your life.
The devil and his demons want to communicate with people, possess people, and live in people. Because people are their access into the natural realm.
They have one mission, which is to destroy people (sangkatauhan), dahil sila ang korona ng nilikha ng Diyos.
Many church visitors move into the occult
If you become a partaker of witchcraft by consulting spirits and inquire them, the devil and demons are more than willing to give you what you asked for. They will give you (secret) kaalaman at karunungan, na kung saan ay, sa katotohanan, lies from the darkness. They give you what you’ve asked for. Gayunpaman, they don’t give it freely. They always want something in return, Alin ang iyong buhay.
There are a lot of people who partake in witchcraft, even people who say they’re Christians and go to church.
How many ‘Christians’ go to church and visit a fortune-teller, kumunsulta sa mga espiritu, read their horoscope, and practice witchcraft? How many ‘Christians’ have a familiar spirit?
Oo nga, you read that correctly, even reading a horoscope is a source of fortune telling. When you read a horoscope, even if it’s just for fun, you open the door for familiar spirits (mga demonyo) to enter your life.
You can’t play with the devil
You can’t play with the devil, ni hindi man lang kahit konti. As soon as you enter his territory, he catches you and takes you captive, despite your intentions. The devil takes you captive, torments you, and eventually destroys you because that’s his character. Even if you didn’t mean to, that doesn’t matter to him. He takes you captive.
It may all seem like a game to you, but it isn’t a game to him.
As soon as you consult and invite him, masasamang espiritu, familiar spirits, and spirits of witchcraft, paghula, sekswal na karumihan, depresyon, takot na takot, pagkabalisa, Insomnia, deception, paranoia, and death enter your life. These evil spirits cause mental problems and illness in your life.
It could be that only one evil spirit (demon) enters. But it’s also possible that more evil spirits will enter your life.
These evil spirits can manifest immediately or after a while. Ngunit isang bagay ang tiyak: they will enter your life and manifest in your life.
It could be that you suddenly hear audible voices in your head, sinasabi sa iyo kung ano ang gagawin. These are the voices of evil spirits, who control your mind and by obeying them, control your life.
You need a higher authority to make evil spirits leave your life
These evil spirits won’t leave by themselves because why should they? Pagkatapos ng lahat, you invited them into your life. Only someone with a higher authority and power can make them leave, and that Someone is, syempre naman, Jesucristo!
Only in the Pangalan ni Jesucristo; sa Kanyang awtoridad, a person can be set free of every oppression, pagkaalipin, and possession of the devil!
Wala nang ibang paraan, and no other person, who can deliver a person. Not a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a (witch)doktor, a shaman, nor by therapies, mga ritwal, or medicines.
Only Jesus Christ can set you free!
Maraming tao ang, who were not aware of the danger of consulting spirits and have become involved in the occult, through divination, ang pangkukulam, manghuhula, necromancy, atbp., and suffer pain and torment in their souls and bodies (mental disorders and physical illness).
Minsan, their mental disorders are so severe that they have to be hospitalized. They get treatment for their mental disorder and are given drugs (medicines) to control them.
Gayunpaman, the drugs will not cure the person. The drugs will only eliminate particular functions in their brains (isip isip) and their body. So that these evil spirits won’t manifest themselves.
But drugs don’t cast out demons and cure the person.
How people’s curiosity leads to spiritual bondage and torment
How many people are held captive in isolation and are tormented and ravaged by these evil spirits? Only because they were curious about their future or wanted to gain more secret wisdom or speak with a deceased family member or friend because they missed them?
Sa kasamaang palad, mga doktor, mga psychologist, and their treatments (including drugs) can’t help the suffering patient one bit. Bakit ganoon? Because the cause of their problem is in the spiritual realm, not in the physical realm (natural na kaharian).
These demons come from the spiritual realm, but manifest themselves in the natural realm, in the life of a person. Kaya nga, these demons can only be cast out by a person with a higher power of authority in the spiritual realm.
Evil spirits can’t be cast out through natural means, like drugs, mga paggamot, therapies, occult methods and rituals, atbp.
When a person with a mental disorder is hospitalized or locked up in a treatment center, the situation will not become better; but it will only become worse and end up in death.
These evil spirits can only be cast out in the Name of Jesus. Only by Jesus and His blood, a person be delivered and set free from these evil spirits.
What does the Bible say about consulting spirits?
The Bible forbids consulting spirits and says the following about consulting spirits:
Huwag pansinin ang mga may pamilyar na espiritu, ni humanap ng mga wizard, na madungisan nila: Ako ang Panginoong Diyos mo (Levitico 19:31)
And the soul that turns after such as have familiar spirits, at pagkatapos ng mga wizard, upang sumunod sa kanila sa pakikiapid, Itatapat ko pa ang aking mukha laban sa kaluluwang iyon, at ihihiwalay siya sa kaniyang bayan. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: sapagkat ako ang Panginoon mong Diyos (Levitico 20:6-7)
There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, o na gumagamit ng panghuhula, o tagamasid ng mga panahon, o isang enchanter, o isang aswang, O isang charmer, o isang consulter na may pamilyar na mga espiritu, o isang wizard, o isang necromancer. Sapagka't ang lahat ng gumagawa ng mga bagay na ito ay karumal dumal sa Panginoon: at dahil sa mga karumal dumal na ito ay pinalalayas sila ng Panginoon mong Dios sa harap mo (Deuteronomio 18:10-12)
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. And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: at ito ay mangyayari, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness (Isaias 8:19-22)
What happens in your life when you become involved in the occult?
When you go to someone with a familiar spirit- a wizard, a witch (doktor), a medium, a charmer, a fortune-teller, a shaman, a consulter with familiar spirits, o isang necromancer- you will be defiled; contaminated, at marumi.
When you consult and inquire spirits by yourself or with a group of people, you will also be defiled by the kingdom of darkness.
A familiar spirit enters and takes other spirits with him to possess you. Your wisdom may increase, and maybe you can predict the future through channeling spirits, but the devil and these evil spirits will control your life.
What happened to Saul when he consulted a medium and brought up Samuel?
In the life of Saul, we see what eventually happened after he consulted a woman with a familiar spirit in Endor and consulted a dead person (Samuel): Saul committed suicide (1 Samuel 28:7-25; 31:4-5).
You should only consult God and the Word of God and nothing or no one else. You shouldn’t be curious about future events or have the desire to speak to a deceased family member or friend, but you should lay your life into the hands of God and trust God for the future.
Minsan, God reveals things to you, and sometimes, God won’t. But if you make and keep Jesus, ang Salita, the center of your life, and make Him your Rock and Refuge, then all things will be well.
Has the Church become a social institution?
Over the years, the church has become a social institution instead of a powerful force of God. There is little or wala na power anymore. Ang Simbahan, which is the Body of Christ with Jesus Christ as the Head, should be the most powerful spiritual institution on earth. Gayunpaman, what happens nowadays is that instead of setting people free and delivering them from the oppression of the darkness, many churches direct people to doctors, mga psychologist, and other worldly institutions.
The church has become a carnal, makataong tao, and social institution built upon the knowledge and the works of man, sa halip na kay Jesu-Kristo, ang Buhay na Salita, at ang Kanyang gawain.
Mag ingat kayo baka may makasira sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng pilosopiya at walang kabuluhang panlilinlang, pagkatapos ng tradisyon ng mga tao, pagkatapos ng mga rudiments ng mundo, at hindi pagkatapos ni Cristo. Sapagka't sa kanya ay naninirahan ang lahat ng kabuuan ng katawan ng Diyos. At ikaw ay kumpleto sa kanya, na siyang Pinuno ng lahat ng prinsipalidad at kapangyarihan: Sa Kanino rin kayo tuli sa pagtutuli na ginawa nang walang mga kamay, sa paghubad ng katawan ng mga kasalanan ng laman sa pamamagitan ng pagtutuli kay Cristo: Inilibing kasama Niya sa binyag, na kayo rin ay nagbangon na kasama Niya sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya sa gawain ng Diyos, Sino ang bumuhay sa Kanya mula sa mga patay (Mga Taga Colosas 2:8-12)
Ang simbahan ay dapat magsisi ka na of its terrible deeds and return to Jesus; ang Salita, and build upon Him.
It’s about time that the church gets to know its real enemy and start recognizing and acknowledging the spiritual realm, and the spiritual war they are in.
It’s about time that they learn about God’s Kingdom, which is a spiritual Kingdom. But the only way that someone can learn about God’s Kingdom and enter the Kingdom is by becoming born again in the spirit, sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng Banal na Espiritu.
Mga Kristiyano, arise and get to know the Word and establish the Kingdom of God on earth
It’s time to rise up in the Word, to get to know the Word; Si Jesus. To become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven; isang anak ng Diyos (Ito ay nalalapat sa parehong mga lalaki at babae), na lumalakad ayon sa Espiritu, at hindi pagkatapos ng laman, and establish the Kingdom of God upon this earth.
How can we, as a church, establish the Kingdom of God on earth? By obeying God and doing His will and bringing the good news of Jesus Christ, which draws people to repentance, and setting people free from the oppression of the devil and destroying the works of darkness.
Maraming tao, who are tormented and suffer from the oppression of the devil. They go to mga manggagamot, but no one can help them.
Jesus Christ can set you free
Only the real sons of God can set people free in the Name of Jesus the Christ, ang Anak ng Diyos. I write the ‘real sons’ of God, because some Christians think they’re sons of God but live just like the world; having the same life as someone, who doesn’t know Jesus and has no relationship with God through Jesus.
They say they do, pero hindi nila. Dahil kung hindi man, they wouldn’t do the same works as the world and find ‘solutions’ for their problems in the secular world. I will write more about this and how the Word of God warns us of ministers of iniquity in another blog.
How to be delivered from the occult?
Maybe you are a Christian and have been consulting spirits and reading horoscopes, or maybe you went to a fortune-teller, medicine man, wizard, witch doctor, atbp., and become involved in the occult and suffer from the oppression of the darkness and are looking for the way of deliverance.
If that’s you, then all you have to do is confess your sin, ask forgiveness to the Lord, and command these evil spirits to leave your body and your soul in the Name of Jesus.
If you doubt your authority in Jesus Christ and are not sure if you have the power to command these spirits of darkness to leave, then find someone, who does know his/her authority in Jesus Christ.
Find a Christian who can help you and can set you free from this oppression
Ang espirituwal na kaharian ay totoo. Just because the unregenerate man can’t Kita n'yo the spiritual world doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.
You can’t see the wind, but the wind exists because you see the results of the wind. Gayunpaman, you can’t control the wind via natural means (sources from the secular world (natural world)), imposible yan.
It’s the same thing with evil spirits (mga demonyo). You can’t see them, but they do exist. Because you see the result of these spirits. Gayunpaman, you can’t control these evil spirits (mga demonyo) through natural means, by using natural tools, therapies, mga teorya, Mga Pamamaraan, medicines (mga bawal na gamot), atbp.
Meditate on the Word day and night
Kunin ang Bibliya, ang Salita ng Diyos, at panibagong isip sa Kanyang mga salita. Meditate on the Word day and night and let the Word not depart from you. Abide in the word and grow up in the Word, so that you will grow up into the image of Jesus Christ.
If you are an unbeliever, and you have been consulting spirits, and have been a partaker of the occult, and you want to be set free from the powers of darkness, then call upon the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and repent and give your life to Him. Go to a church in your area that can set you free in the Name of Jesus Christ.
May isang paraan out; May pag -asa, and His Name is Jesus Christ, but it’s up to you to take the first step.
At pagkakaroon ng mga sirang pamunuan at kapangyarihan, Gumawa siya ng isang shew ng mga ito lantaran, nagtatagumpay sa kanila dito (Mga Taga Colosas 2:15)
'Maging asin ng lupa’
