It is death to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to rely on a medium of the spirits among the dead.

1 Samuel 28:9-10

 “Then the woman said to him, “Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?” 1 Samuel 28:9

Saul was disguised so that he wouldn’t be recognized, so the woman medium was talking to Saul when she said what she said. Saul disguised himself because he didn’t want people to discover his spiritual wickedness when he was portraying himself as a man of God.

Saul was no Prophet of God, but putting mediums and spiritists out of the land was the law of God. It was a political ploy to rule over the mind and heart of the Jewish people. His hypocrisy, disobedience, and spiritual wickedness to God is obvious as he now consults a medium to do a seance to raise a spirit from the dead. In reality, God has put mediums and spiritists out of the land through Jesus Christ. As followers of Christ, we rely on Jesus who is alive with flesh and bones and is not a spirit at all. He gives us the Holy Spirit who brings life and has no bodily form that can be called forth as a spirit from the dead, He is alive within us, not in a grave among the spirits of the dead. To consult and rely on a medium brings death to God, the Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit, through the Bible, makes it very clear that mediums, spiritists, necromancers, psychics, wizards, etc. are not to be confided in. Salvation comes by calling upon one name, and that is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Calling upon a spirit is evil and not of God. Trusting in spirits from the dead draws away from reliance on God through Jesus Christ and brings death to the Holy Spirit.

As followers of Christ, when the subject of mediums is presented to us, we ask, “Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?” We want no part of playing a medium to allow the image of the beast to live and speak through us by the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. It is Satanic and spiritual wickedness and a sophisticated form of the occult. People who rely on the thing which forms their thoughts and feelings are conformed to their place in life among the spiritually wicked society of mediums and occultists. They are the masses of people within the “democratic” society of the beast who dominate cities around the world. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

As Christians, the only spirit we seek is the Holy Spirit who only lifts up the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and no other name. The Holy Spirit is from the realm of life and will never be found among the spirits of the dead.

“And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.” 1 Samuel 28:10

Saul had no right to assure the seance medium that all would be well if she allowed herself to be a medium of the occult. Today, it’s the same thing as the governing authority assuring us it is OK to be a medium of the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. It is not OK, as God says through Ezekiel, “…who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace,’ “. Ezekiel plainly said that to the mediums, spiritists, false prophets, and occultists of his day, as quoted in Ezekiel 13:15-19.

As quoted below, there are no spirits external to us that brings life. Christ is in us, and the Spirit brings life through righteousness. After we die, our body will be resurrected, not as a spirit but as a redeemed flesh and bone body. When Jesus Christ died on the Cross to atone for sin, and was resurrected from the dead, He put an end to the spirits of the dead. He gives us the Spirit of life and a redeemed body.

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Romans 8:10-11

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
