So I know someone who went to a medium (theres other names for it as well), people that tell you your future ext. So sometime last year I think she goes and sees this lady and this lady told her that her husband is going to hurt her and that shes going to meet a new guy and have a baby thats going to have the spirit of the child that she lost in it. So of course she wants her baby back, so she gets all excited. So she tells me this and I give her verses that speak against that and tell her not to go see her again. Well her bff goes and sees this lady and she ask her why is her friend still married that she sees blood and darkness around her. Not too long after that this girl meets a guy shes into and her husband finds out and hes angry. Since she heard the medium say all that stuff she gets a restraining order against her husband and files for divorce. Then she starts a relationship with this new guy and gets pregnant by him. Fast forward to today, now shes working things out with her husband who accepted her being prego and now is expecting to have her baby that died back in this new babies body, his soul. I told her" see what happens when you listen to stuff like that, now you made it all true." I support her no matter what and show her love but what else can I do or say. Please if anyone out there is thinking about going and seeing someone about their future, please dont do it. It opens up a door of darkness and plants seeds in your head that arent true but you make them true. God speaks against that in many verses. I wrote this to hopefully help someone who may be thinking about going and seeing one. Dont do it please. Trust God with your future and no one else. God bless

so she goes and sees a demon possessed lady, who tells her to commit adultery (which is a sin) so that she can have a baby, who she will then allow to be possessed by a demon claiming to be her dead child's spirit. which is another lie because the baby is in Heaven and the Bible clearly says that your live and die ONCE and then judgement.

I think we need to pray for the baby and the husband, because she is letting this "medium" lead her away from God and His ways.

Well, if we're on the subject of fortunetellers, I think "Christianity" has its own brand of them - that is, the false prophet. I received a prophecy once about my future, and I'll try not to make light of it. But it seemed somewhat vague, and I don't vest a lot of faith in it.

I think it's a bit of a jump to say that baby will be demon possessed because the mother went to see a medium. This isn't a Hollywood horror movie we're talking about here. The baby involved is an innocent.

I posted this on another thread. I was a psychic medium until I discovered the truth behind my abilities. I hope your friend makes better decisions from now on.

You sound like me five or tens years ago. As a child I saw fllowting dots of light circling in my room. I saw a demon in a mirror and it even spoke to me. The closer I came to knowing God the less paranormal activity I experienced. That pattern continued my whole life. The further away I got from God, the more I would see paranormal stuff around me. I even had psychic visions but could not control them.

I had an amazing experience as a 14 yr old. I was on fire for God. I loved going to church when ever the doors were open. I sat thru two services in the morning and an evening service plus youth group. Then one day at the second service, I felt very peaceful, so peaceful I did not want to get up at the end of the service. The altar was in the center of the church of a circular church.

Then I heard a voice on the inside of me. It was calm, peaceful and loving. It said "Do you see that woman?". Directly in front of me was a middle aged Hispanic woman, crying her eyes out, tears streaming down her face and praying in a desperate manner. Then after a five or ten second pause, the voice said "Her son is in prison" and again another pause. "I am going to help her and her son, because I love her" and again there was a pause. Then the voice said "I am going to help you, because I love you."

Well years later, I slowly cooled off spiritually and badly backslid until there was not faith in me. I even called myself an atheist, but one thing never changed, I had a curiosity for the occult and paranormal. I started to watch paranormal shows and stuff like it. My psychic abilities came back and soon I was able to control them. I met a psychic lady and told her I was psychic too and she asked "Oh, what color am I wearing?". "Blue" I said and we friends from then on. She encouraged me to join the same psychic network and make extra money, but I did not want to sell out. I wanted to help people.

The more I used my psychic ability the more haunted my home began. Soon my skeptic kids were full fledged believers as they saw ghosts, felt their presence and my son was touched by one. I began having nightmares now and then too. I also noticed that I hated Christians more and more. I went to my sisters home and she always had Christians friends over for the holidays. One man, I bristled at. I hated him more than the rest even though I knew nothing about him. I had a seething anger toward him and later on he would be my pastor.

I enjoyed helping people. Even more so, I enjoyed telling them things that they had long forgoten and the wide eyed look as their jaw hit the ground. I had a very vivid dream/nightmare of a jet fighter flying low and straight but at a slight downward angle. I saw pine trees and homes. I was driving in a car with others and as the fighter hit the ground, there was a violent explosion. I felt something shoot though the windshield like a bullet and then I saw the pilot all black with soot fall in front of the car. He had a look of horror on his face. 10 days later a Blue Angel crashed in South Carolina I watched CNN and it was exactly like me dream. One man was crying as they interviewed him and he said he almost died as something shot thru his windshield.

Then one day, everything spun out of control. I did a reading for a young mother. She would have horrid black spells and as she came out of them, she would see her very young daughter in a coffin. I did the reading and as always for first timers, I told her all about her past, even the name of her childhood dog. The second time I just focused on her daughter. In a psychic sense, I viewed her organs one by one and saw no disease. Then I looked at her as a whole and suddenly I saw a demon wave his hand at me as if to motion me away. I broke off the vision and tried again. This time I saw her baby had demons in her. I told the mom to go see a priest because she had a demonic problem.

That was the end of the joy ride. My friendly spirits became viscous, angry and threatening. Twice I was all but physically attacked. Every night, I was woken up at 3 am like clock work. Once I woke up at 3 am and felt such and evil presence, I left my home and stayed at an all nite diner.

My asked for help from my psychic friends and they all suggested pouring salt around all the windows and doors. burning a bundle of sage and put some rose oil around the windows. Nothing helped. I had uncontrollable visions of scary stuff. as I closed my eyes, I would see people staring back. It got so bad I wondered about suicide but figured they would be there to meet me in the after life. Once I heard a demon speak to me and told me his name. After 2 or 3 months I decided to take my own advice and see a priest.

I drove to a near by catholic church and as I drove into the parking lot, I heard a soft fluffy female voice say "Don't do it". I broke down and cried and felt even more determined to talk to the priest. I met with a young priest he asked what was up and as I described the problem he cut me off when I told him I was a psychic. He became very angry and yelled back at me, "Don't you know what you are doing? Don't you realize the source of your abilities? I can not help you unless you stop being a psychic. If you can't stop, leave right now. What is your decision?".

So I agreed to stop and man was that ever hard. I felt like a bird who just got his wings clipped. My psychic friends asked me not to take his advice but I refused. Then I was accused of not being able to take it. LOL, I can't argue there.

I eventually found my way to a protestant deliverance ministry. The helped me out a great deal and God has been healing my inner wounds. I am back on track with God...again! I had demons cast out of me and in the process i learned how to cast demons out of others. I now hear God again speaking to me now and then. Sometimes He even shows me things in the bible.

Lord Jesus, we ask that You reveal the source of this psychic's abilities and what the result of seeing this psychic will be for this woman. I ask that You send a lying spirit to discredit this psychic if this woman being deceived by the psychic is one of Your elect ones. Remove the masks, the veneer and let her see with clarity what it is all about. Please send her the right people to witness to her and show her the true source of power and revelation this psychic wields. If it be Your wll, in Jesus name.

Wow that is a powerful testimony. Please share your testimony with many because you could stop them from making that horrible choice of going to one. Lots of people dont understand what doors they open when they do things like that. Praise God for His love and mercy

Thank you.

Most of the time I am ridiculed, accused of lying and/or seeking attention by well meaning Christians! Yet everything I said is true but it is only a brief summary. Even more amazing and more powerful, are the things I witnessed during deliverance. I would love to get my testimony out to those who might be helped by it and if it is God's will, it will be done.

Well anyone with half a brain knows that evil resides in this world. Even that stupid board game the Quija board is dangerous that kids played back in the 70's. I totally believe your experiences, many of us have had some and even without being a physic. So dangerous to do anything other than keep our focus on Jesus.

Yes I think you should, so many people dont even know that the info comes from the evil one. Dont worry about what others think, people are always going to have something negative to say about things they dont understand. I believe your testimony would help alot of people from making that horrible choice of going to one. Pray and let God guide

Here, in Venezuela, there are many who still consult horoscope and TV mediums, just in case they be warned in advance... At the long run, that´s a total loss. When I was Catholic, and many were in latin america, I wasn´t informed of the mistake and of the risk I was endangered... If anyone asks anything the devil, he will take (not only ask) what you will be asking today (and I know several testimonies of people who had that failure).

Psychics and all that claptrap are witches, and frauds at that. Many people are snared by the devil with those people.

Take ouiji boards. My brother had a mutual friend who played around with one. My brother kept warning him, but he ignored it. Until one night he asked the board to tell him who he was talking to. Well the board spelled out Lucifer. And that kid (though he was 15) ran terrified screaming and crying to his mother. Woke her up in the middle of the night. His older brother told my brother about it the next day. He never messed with that board again.

These things always look harmless but in reality, they are fishing lines and the devil is holding the rod, just hoping you will take the bait. Be warned.

Thank you for your testimony danschance you reminded me of my high school when I withnessed a fortune telling, thought at first it was just harmless flirting (the girl was really flirty in general and did it with everyone) but when I felt her demon to start talking me her playing with my hand got totally new meaning. The funny thing was that the demon told that my future is not readable and asked me to decide what I want from my future.

But now the more serious issues (like that's not enough already), I have had kinda trouble lately and after reading the posts here made me feel the thing is worse than I thought. To put in short. I know I can "feel" time to time the thoughts or presence of evil. It started when I was under 10 years old and ever since I was afraid of dark. Well not dark but what's in there what I can feel but not see. When I grew up my mom used to warn me not to play with this, but didn't spoke much more. Later i discovered that in my family line there's been similar "abilities" in every generation and to who told me this wasn't suprprised I also had it. The person called it special sensivity and told me to be extremely careful because THEY know i "hear" them and don't afraid to use it against me. This came out clearly at age of 17 when I struggled with depression and suicidial thoughts that was really hard to keep out from my head. (you may guess where those thougts came from)

Past 2 years my things have gotten slowly to worse. It started with unsuccessful relationship then certain minor mental issues, but past half year I discovered alarming change.
I have started again afraid the dark like I did as kid. Some nights I feel like there is invisible presence in same house, and that presence is not friendly. I also feel strong suggestion: "Fix your life before you have serious relationship"

I too strongly encourage to stay away from that door of darkness as far as possible. I have most of my life knew it exists and been wise enough to keep it closed. And please pray for me that i would be able to keep it close in the future.

You have mentioned three things that cause me some concern. You mention a special spiritual ability, depression and suicidal thoughts. Look at this list below and add up your score and then see what your risk is for having a demonic issue in your life. Psychic/medium abilities, for the most part follow a family line but can also be the result of other things.

. For every item you have in common with this list, give yourself a point. Then add all your points and see what your risk might be for a demonic issue in your life.
1) Abusive childhood or a traumatic experience up to age 15. (May have some amnesia of this trauma)

2) Issues with depression or anxiety

3) Suicidal thoughts or Attempted Suicide

4) Self harm (cutting, burning, hair pulling, hitting or biting ones self.)

5) Victim of sexual abuse.

6) Previously seen a ghost or spirit or felt the presence of one.

7) Possess spiritual abilities. (psychic, telekinetic, communicating with spirits, etc)

8) Frequent Nightmares or frequent night terrors

9) Sudden shift in emotions (explosive anger that comes out of no where, tears for no reason, separate personality, etc)

10) Occult or paranormal proclivities. Fascinated with ghosts, psychics, UFOs, Ouija board, vampires etc.


Pts ____Risk
0-2 …Low risk
3-4….Moderate risk
5-10…High risk
I suggest you get a book called "Bondage Breaker" by Niel T Anderson. He is a christian and a psychologist. The book is a good start but you might need more than that as I did.

I understand feeling an evil presence. Back then, every night as I would go to sleep, I could sense something starring at me from 8-10 feet from my bed. I could point to the location where the eyes where and guesstimated the height of this thing to be about 5 feet, 9 inches.

When I first went thru deliverance I was very nervous. That was almost 6 years ago and my healing and restoration is nearly complete. It has been an amazing journey as God has been proactive in helping me move forward. God bless.

Spirits are around the woman because she opened a door to them. The baby can very
well be oppressed by demonic influence, unless this mother goes to God, a Church that
believes in deliverance ministry and be delivered.

Personally I am terrified for the baby. It is innocent, yet can be born with no peace and
be tormented. I believe she does need to go get prayed over for the childs sake. We know
God tells us this is a forbidden act. The generational curse is now upon this baby. It must
be broken. Please ... all who believe it is imperative she repents and turns to God and a
Believer in a cleansing prayer for the child to be born... pray for the baby.

I do not mean to put fear in the mother. I just know from experience the powers of
darkness are just that....powerful..

Father God I ask in Jesus name Your protection over this unborn child. Please
help the mother see the error of her way and ask for forgiveness. Please help her
after deliverance of this sin of seeing a psychic, let her spirit be open to Your
Holy Spirit. I pray the little one be protected in the womb. I plead the Blood of
Jesus over it as forms in her womb. May the baby be freed of the words that
have been spoken over it in Jesus name. I ask this in the Name of Jesus and
thank You Father ....

God bless you and may you begin to feel the peace as you confess to the Lord
your sorrow for what you have done.

[h=3]1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ESV[/h] So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance. He did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

Many are aware of the three women and 6 yr. old girl taken from the
house in Cleveland, where they had been held captive ?

A psychic told a mother, her daughter was dead. ( actually was alive
in the house of horrors ).... The mother grieved herself to death and
died in 1996.
