Christians believe that there is real danger of Wicca and witchcraft and any
religion or belief system that includes calling on spirits. Why? Because we understand
that supernatural power can come from only two sources—God and Satan.
God’s Word is clear that He does not respond to
requests for supernatural power except from believers in Jesus for clearly
defined purposes. Those looking elsewhere for supernatural power will either
find no power at all, or they will find supernatural power from Satan and
demons. Those are the only options.
God told the Israelites this about the witchcraft and
supernaturalism that was popular in their day: “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices
his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets
omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist
or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the
LORD.” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12)
The message to followers of the God of the Bible is
crystal: Don’t mess
with any of it—casting spells, witchcraft, magick, wizardry, psychics,
or talking to the dead. God hates that stuff.
