Divine
Advices
Against
Mysterious
ForcesSlide4
The world we live in is full of mysterious things of which make us really
wonder
...Slide5
Isaiah
8:19
"
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
?”Slide6
Who
are these mysterious forces? Slide7
Can they be the spirits of the dead?
What
does the Bible say about those who have died? Slide8
Ecclesiastes
9:5, 6
“For the living know that they shall die: but
the dead know not any thing
, neither have they any more a reward;
for the memory of them is forgotten
. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished;
neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun
.”Slide9
Can God be the one who guides them?
What command did
He give?Slide10
Leviticus
20:27
“
A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely
be put to death
: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
.”Slide11
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.”Slide12
If these revelations come from neither
God nor the dead
,
who seeks to influence politicians? Slide13
Revelation
16:14
“
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty
.”Slide14
In the biblical examples
about
people possessed by spirits,
what
did those spirits declare? Slide15
Acts
16:16-18
“
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying
Esta
, siguiendo a Pablo y a nosotros, daba voces, diciendo: Estos hombres son siervos del Dios Altísimo, quienes os anuncian el camino de salvación
.
Y
esto lo hacía por muchos días; mas desagradando a Pablo, éste se volvió y dijo al espíritu: Te mando en el nombre de Jesucristo, que salgas de ella. Y salió en aquella misma hora.”Slide16
Acts
16:16-18
“Aconteció que mientras íbamos a la oración, nos salió al encuentro una muchacha que tenía espíritu de adivinación, la cual daba gran ganancia a sus amos, adivinando
.
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
Y
esto lo hacía por muchos días; mas desagradando a Pablo, éste se volvió y dijo al espíritu: Te mando en el nombre de Jesucristo, que salgas de ella. Y salió en aquella misma hora.”Slide17
Acts
16:16-18
“Aconteció que mientras íbamos a la oración, nos salió al encuentro una muchacha que tenía espíritu de adivinación, la cual daba gran ganancia a sus amos, adivinando
.
Esta
, siguiendo a Pablo y a nosotros, daba voces, diciendo: Estos hombres son siervos del Dios Altísimo, quienes os anuncian el camino de salvación
.
And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.”Slide18
They
told lies
They
said unimportant things
There was some truth in their declarations.
What is the correct option?Slide19
What happened to King Saul when he consulted a fortune teller after God had rejected him?
(1 Samuel 28:3, 6-8, 11-15)Slide20
1
Chronicles
10:13, 14
“
So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not,
and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit
, to enquire of it
; And
enquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.”Slide21
Observe
:
•
Saul went at night and in disguise
•
The prophet appeared coming up
from
the
earth
•
He
spoke as if he
was GodSlide22
The
devil´s
collectionSlide23
What is a sign of the last days? Slide24
1 Timothy 4:1
“
Now the Spirit
speaketh
expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of
devils
."Slide25
How
can
we
tell
truth
from
error? Slide26
Isaiah
8:19, 20
“
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
.”Slide27
Ask
yourself
:
Does the pretended messenger believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, or do you consider him simply a great teacher or medium?
Do
you believe in creation as the Bible tells it in 6 days?
If
a person can act for good and for evil, can it be of God?Slide28
What does the Bible say of those who look for a solution to their problems in those mysterious forces? Slide29
Jeremiah
2:13
“
For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and
hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water
.”Slide30
In modern terms we talk about Parapsychology. There are people who pass through the fire without being burned and they say that they can do that by the power of the mind. This was prohibited by God. Deuteronomy 18:9-14.
El tirar las cartas es adivinación.
El hipnotismo, el péndulo y la varilla mágica, las curaciones por palabras aunque sean practicadas con buenas intenciones, no son aprobadas por Dios.Slide31
En términos modernos se habla de Parapsicología. Hay quienes pasan por el fuego sin quemarse, argumentando que es por los poderes de la mente.
Esto
fue prohibido por Dios, (Deuteronomio 18:9-14).
Reading
cards
is
divination
.
El hipnotismo, el péndulo y la varilla mágica, las curaciones por palabras aunque sean practicadas con buenas intenciones, no son aprobadas por Dios.Slide32

El tirar las cartas es adivinación.
Hypnotism, the pendulum, and the magic wand, as well as curing by magic words, even if done with good intentions, are things not approved by God.Slide33
What does the Bible
say
about those
who
practice
astrology
and consult astrologers? Slide34
Isaiah
47:13-15
“
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
He aquí que serán como tamo;
fuego
los quemará, no salvarán sus vidas del poder de la llama
;
no
quedará brasa para calentarse,
ni
lumbre a la cual se sienten.
Así te serán aquellos con quienes te fatigaste, los que traficaron contigo desde tu juventud;
cada uno irá por su camino, no habrá quien te salve
.”Slide35
Isaiah
47:13-15
“Te has fatigado en tus muchos consejos. Comparezcan ahora y te defiendan los contempladores de los cielos, los que observan las estrellas, los que cuentan los meses, para pronosticar lo que vendrá sobre ti.
Behold, they shall be as stubble;
the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame
: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Así te serán aquellos con quienes te fatigaste, los que traficaron contigo desde tu juventud;
cada uno irá por su camino, no habrá quien te salve
.”Slide36
Isaiah
47:13-15
“Te has fatigado en tus muchos consejos. Comparezcan ahora y te defiendan los contempladores de los cielos, los que observan las estrellas, los que cuentan los meses, para pronosticar lo que vendrá sobre ti.
He aquí que serán como tamo;
fuego
los quemará, no salvarán sus vidas del poder de la llama
;
no
quedará brasa para calentarse,
ni
lumbre a la cual se sienten.
Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast
laboured
, even thy merchants, from thy youth:
they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee
.”Slide37
In the last days false miracles will be so
subtle
that they will be a threat even to elect. Slide38
Matthew
24:24
“
For there shall arise false
Christs
, and false prophets, and shall
shew
great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect
.”Slide39
Does Satan work for free, or does he charge for his
“favors”? Slide40
Romans
6:16
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants
ye are to whom ye obey
; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”Slide41
John
8:44
“
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh
a lie, he
speaketh
of his own:
for he is a liar, and the father of
it
.”Slide42
The devil charges a heavy price to those who consult him. He may bring upon that person:
Unbelief, doubt, lack of faith in God‘s word and prayer.
Depression, anxiety, even
suicide attempts.
Mental
illness
,
complexes
and
paranoia
Sexual deviations, adultery, alcoholism, drug

Possession
by
evil
spirits
.
Diseases
,
poverty
, etc.Slide43

forcesSlide44
What should be done with books about magic or anything similar? Slide45
Acts
19:19
“
Many of them also which used curious arts
brought their books together, and burned them
before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of
silver
.”Slide46
What divine advice will
set
us free
from
satanic influence? Slide47
James 4:7
“
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you
.”Slide48
What should we trust in to obtain
complete
victory? Slide49
Revelation
12:10-11
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony
; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”Slide50
ConclusionSlide51
After setting
the
possessed man from
Gadarenes
free, what
advice did Jesus give him? Slide52

. Return to
thine
own house, and
shew
how great things God hath done unto thee
. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.”Slide53

this
deceitfulness!Slide54
