Former Medium Warns of Dangers in New Age Practices and Occult

Pew Research Center Findings

• 📊 A Pew Research Center study found that 30% of Americans consult horoscopes, tarot cards, or fortune tellers at least once a year.
• 💡 While 20% claim to do so for entertainment and 10% for helpful insights, the speaker argues that the actual belief in these practices may be higher.

Dangers of Divination

• ⚠️ Engaging with tools of divination, regardless of intent (entertainment or insight), is described as opening a demonic door and going outside of God's will.
• 🧠 The enemy is said to work in half-truths, offering accurate past information to hook individuals before introducing lies, such as seeking help or wisdom from psychics.
• 💔 It is heartbreaking that people turn to these practices for insight in a chaotic world, a desire rooted in humanity's fallen nature.

Personal Experience and Spiritual Realm

• ✝️ As a former psychic medium, the speaker genuinely believed she was helping people and had a gift from God, receiving detailed information from what she now understands as demonic entities.
• 🔮 Even when seeking readings for herself, she engaged in automatic writing, channeling, and meditative trances, demonstrating a personal history of seeking answers through divination.
• 🚫 Blowing off these practices as games or entertainment is considered a very dangerous thing to do.

Youth and Emotional Connection

• 👧 Young adults, particularly young women, are more likely to engage with astrology and horoscopes, possibly due to a cultural emphasis on the divine feminine and a greater inclination towards emotional connection.
• 💖 While both men and women can be logical or emotional, women are often seen as more in tune with emotions, which these practices tap into by playing on feelings and desires about the future.
• ❓ This engagement stems from a desire to know the future, which the speaker believes is not intended for humans, who are meant to trust God.

Glimmer of Hope and Spiritual Battle

• ✨ There is a resurgence of interest in faith among young people questioning secularism, indicating a search for something bigger than themselves.
• ⚔️ This presents an opportunity to guide individuals away from New Age practices and towards faith, highlighting the ongoing spiritual battle for souls.
• 🚀 The speaker is working on a film, "Out of the Shadows," and a new book to expose these dangers and showcase the power of God to bring people out of the occult and into the light.
