when i first became a believer my pastor whom i trusted implicitly and still do after 40 years, did a sermon series on the occult. it fascinated me so i did a little further study. i know i’m gonna upset some people but here i go anyway.

i believe that horoscopes are one way that satan deceives us and leads us away from trust in God alone. we are explicitly warned in Deutoronomy and in other books not to trust in diviners, witches, the occult, etc. i wonder if the people who read their horoscopes are reading the bible and obeying it and getting as much entertainment from it as they do their horoscopes. scripture seems to indicate that when you are listening to psychics, diviners, or reading the stars that you are showing a lack of trust in God.

i see on facebook people posting about their horoscopes all the time. and of course they ask you on your profile what your sign is. my redeemed sign is grace at the cross of Jesus. after that i didn’t need nor do i need stars to tell me about my life.

it may be fun, but remember that scripture says, that satan roams the earth seeking those whom he may devour. just wondering is this one way that satan gets a foothold in someone’s life? in an old book published in the 1960’s (i think, may be earlier) “Things Satan Uses to Deceive.” horoscopes are near the top of the list.

i don’t know about you but i don’t need anything else vying for my attention away from God. the Cross, that’s my sign.
