Follow God Not Horoscopes
I have this book called "Hearing From God Every Morning" by Joyce Meyer which contains 365 daily devotions, a bit of scripture,a bit of explanation and guidance in relationship with God. I find the book really helpful.
A few days ago the scripture taken from Leviticus 19:31 really was quite close to home for me. Here it is:
"Turn not to those (mediums) who have familiar spirits or to wizards; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God"
It seems to have become quite the norm to see a palm reader, an astrologist, a clairvoyant to seek guidance, but I can honestly after around 15 years of seeking their guidance, all it did was left me with an addiction and exacerbated the sense of shame and OCD which I now no longer have because of God.
Most of the time ( during these years) I was told lies that never came to pass, stuff that I wanted to hear, not that would do me good, false hopes, that were subsequently dahsed and I ended up living a disastrous double life. The one side of me socialising quite normally in society, the other hidden ,struggling with an unhealthy addiction, and a terrible sense of shame and totally unable to cope without speaking to a clairvoyant on a regular basis. During this time I dated someone who really wasn't very good for me, and I got involved in a love spell.
When I did hear something that seemed to be true, it was often mixed with content that did me no good whatsoever and so I would end up in this awful situation where I would try to be in control but I was completely out of control out of my habits.
I was a shadow of a person who thought my past was despicable and that I was despciable and that no one could love me.
I have mentioned my testimonial in another post if you want to read it, but suffice to say that I became well, because God told me He loved me while I was at a friend's baptism and I have never known such love. Since then I have grown in God, and it has been like growing up all over again but with real nurturing, strenghtening love, that holds you securely and up. I have not needed to return to my old ways because I have God and that is enough.
On the guidance side, I have found that God has had a different way of guiding me and it is by means of revelation, in that His guidance prepares for things to expect, whilst avoiding being prescriptive, and I prefer this way because unlike the old Louise, I have no desire to know exactly what is around the corner.
This is because I am secure in God's love.
If you have every thought about getting a 'harmless' palm reading, or medium, or clairvoyants reading, THINK... It is both damaging and not God's way.
