Ten Texts About Astrologers and Psychics

 1. Joel 2:28 “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” https://www.bible.com/bible/1/JOL.2.KJV 

2. Acts 2:17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:" https://www.bible.com/bible/1/ACT.2.KJV Nearly 2000 years ago the prophecy in Joel had a partial fulfillment, and as we get closer to Jesus return this will happen again. 

3. Ephesians 4:7 “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he  ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/EPH.4.KJV 

4. Numbers 12:6 “And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/NUM.12.KJV Now lots of people can claim that they have had a dream or a vision from God, so we must have some other tests to know for certain if a dream or a vision is from the God of heaven or if it is from the ‘god’ of this world. 

5. Numbers 24:4 “He hath said, which heard the words of God,  Which saw the vision of the Almighty, Falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:” https://www.bible.com/bible/1/NUM.24.KJV In a true vision a person’s eyes will remain open. 

6. Deuteronomy 18:20 “But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/DEU.18.KJV What a true prophet says will come to pass. People like Nostradamus, who might have a 50% accuracy rate, are not true prophets. 

7. Daniel 10:5 “then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: 6 his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. 7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. 8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I  retained no strength. 16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength. 17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me. 18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, 19 and said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/DAN.10.KJV A person in vision initially has no strength in them, but then they are given strength. A person in vision also does not breathe at all during the vision. 

8. 2 Corinthians 12:2 “I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4 how that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.” https://www.bible.com/bible/1/2CO.12.KJV 

9. Amos 3:7 “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/AMO.3.KJV God reveals things that are to come to pass through people that receive dreams or visions. Satan reveals what he wants to do through false prophets, movies and television. 

10. 2 Chronicles 20:20 “And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/2CH.20.KJV While we need to be very careful who we listen to, if we do not heed God’s prophets we can get into a lot of trouble. Remember Isaiah 8:20 “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” https://www.bible.com/bible/1/ISA.8.KJV 

Ten Texts About the Bride of Christ

 1. Revelation 12:1 “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 and she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” (1260 years- papal supremacy from 538 AD to 1798.) https://www.bible.com/bible/1/REV.12.KJV

We are not waiting for Jesus to get ready; He is waiting for us to get ready, 

4. Revelation 18:2 “And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/REV.18.KJV God has a people who are currently in “Babylon”. 

5. John 10:16 “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” https://www.bible.com/bible/1/JHN.10.KJV 

6. James 4:4 “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/JAS.4.KJV We cannot continue being part of worldly things and think that we will have a place in God’s kingdom. 

7. Acts 4:10 “be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man  stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/ACT.4.KJV 

8. Exodus 19:4 “ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/EXO.19.KJV Jesus wants to bring all of us to himself. 

9. Psalm 2:7 “I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/PSA.2.KJV 

10. Hebrews 11:37 “they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38 (of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.”  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/HEB.11.KJV We have the people in the great faith chapter as our examples.
