Deuteronomy 18
I can't say it enough. I don't say it enough. Stay far away from fortune tellers and magic whether someone tells you it is white (good) or black (bad) magic. They are not for those who follow Jesus. You cannot follow both Jesus and other spirits. And... I'm not talking about magic tricks (illusions) where the nickel is pulled out of a child's ear. I am talking about magic that is meant to help you get whatever it is that you want. Stay away from it. Trusting in anything other than God for your future is abhorrent to the LORD. These practices will get you nowhere except in trouble.
Miracles of God and magic are not the same thing... One gives God the glory, the other, as I said before, gets you in trouble as it steers you away from trusting the LORD. If you pray to the LORD for a healing in the name of Jesus Christ and the one you prayed for is healed that is a miracle, not magic, give thanks and glory to God.
A word from a prophet and a word from a fortune-teller are not the same thing. Be wise, discern between the two. If the word that is given is in contradiction to scripture then it is not a word from God for you.
I had a marvelous visit with a wonderful Christian woman yesterday. Every visit with her brings me refreshment as I behold her faithfulness. She is quite elderly in worldly terms as she will be soon 100 years old. She is as faithful to the LORD as I have ever known anyone to be. She trusts the LORD in all things and is at peace with God no matter what might befall her. She trusts Him with her whole life, her whole future. Now, some might wonder how many years can she have left. I will tell you, her time is limitless, for she has inherited eternal life in the kingdom of God, the kingdom that Jesus has prepared for her. She has lived long on this earth in the presence of her LORD and she will remain in His presence for all eternity. That is the difference between someone who worships and served the Lord and one who follows after sorcerers and false prophets: eternal life in the presence of God; our Father, the Son, the Spirit. Who will you follow? Whom shall you serve?
