Running with Jesus
Acts 13:8-10 “ Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. And said, O full of all subtlty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
A sorcerer is a person who claims to have magical power, a wizard. Witchcraft and sorcery has become so popular this day and time and especially during the Halloween season. In the days of Christ and the disciples, they were always running into these types of people. As Christians the Bible is very specific about where our place should be and what our view should be. Note these verses:
Deuteronomy 18:10-12"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: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee."
God always has a reason when He tells His children NOT to do something. He always has our best interest at heart and seeks to protect us.
As parents we do not want our kids to question us or doubt we know best when they are unaware of harm or danger in certain matters. Why should we question God and play around with fire when He knows best. So don't ask me what is not right or wrong for the reason, ask God! He said it not me!
Father, I chose to trust You in this matter, because I know my Father always knows what is best. Help others rethink who they trust and believe.
My God sees and knows all, does yours?
Father, help others to understand that we have boundaries we are to operate within and that is always for our protection and our children’s interest at heart.
