What if the voice you’ve been consulting isn’t just unhelpful—it’s a counterfeit that blurs your connection to God? We open Leviticus 19:31 and face a modern reality: horoscopes, psychic readings, and spirit consultations have been normalized as entertainment, yet Scripture says they defile and distract. I share why these practices open spiritual doors we rarely realize we’ve left ajar, and how to close them with clarity and confidence.

We move thoughtfully from warning to mercy. I explain why counterfeits seem comforting when we feel lost, and how they quietly train our hearts to bypass prayer and the Holy Spirit. Then we get practical: a clear, simple prayer of renunciation, guidance on breaking agreement with past involvement, and steps to replace old patterns with life-giving rhythms—Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, and habits that anchor peace. The goal isn’t fear; it’s freedom. Stopping is good; renouncing is better; being filled with the Spirit is best.

You’ll walk away with language to name what needs to end, courage to ask for cleansing and protection, and a pathway to hear God’s voice with fresh confidence. If you’ve dabbled “just once,” if it’s been years, or if you’re unsure what you opened, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a way forward rooted in Jesus. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs this, and leave a review to help others find a clear path back to the true source of guidance.

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.

Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:08.880
I'm Rick.

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.000
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.760
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.760
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.519
Let's get started.

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:33.359
Today is day 287, the truth about the occult, from Leviticus chapter 19, verse 31, from the New Living Translation.

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.240
Do not defile yourselves by turning to mediums or those who consult the spirits of the dead.

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.479
I am the Lord your God.

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:56.159
God is clear that anything connected to the occult, mediums, seances, horoscopes, spirit consultations, all of that defiles you.

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.600
It opens a door for demonic influence and it distracts you from the one true source of guidance, the Holy Spirit.

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.319
The world treats these things like entertainment, but they are a counterfeit for God's presence.

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:19.040
When you're tempted to dabble, remember the occult isn't just a bad idea, it's a spiritual trap.

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:36.079
So today, what I want you to do is if you've dabbled in horoscopes or psychic readings or any form of the occult, ever, take time today to renounce those things in prayer and ask God for his cleansing and his protection.

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:41.200
It's important to note that when I said ever, I meant ever.

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.439
That door is still open.

00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.799
Even if you stop doing it, that door was opened.

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.719
Let's get it closed.

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:50.719
Pray with me.

00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:57.120
Father God, forgive me for any way that I've sought guidance from counterfeit sources.

00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:03.120
I renounce those things, and I choose to follow your spirit alone.

00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.079
In Jesus' precious name I pray.

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:07.120
Amen.

00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.879
Well, that's all for today.

00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.159
But I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's word.
