One of the biggest problems that Christians have today is treating lightly the things of the Devil and the influence that those things can have on their lives and the lives of those we love. So often, we are found flirting with false gods. I. HOW DO WE FLIRT WITH FALSE GODS? By having in our possession, carved images of other gods or any worshipping paraphernalia used by them. A. Scripture proof: Deuteronomy 7:25-26 II. SEEKING TO PRACTICE THEIR SORCERIES: A. There are eight banned practices of sorceries. (Deuteronomy 18:9-14) 1. Diviner - the methods are given in Ezekiel 21:21. Three different kinds are mentioned. (a) Three arrows were used, two with inscription and one without. The arrows would be shaken until one arrow with an inscription would appear and give direction of the way to be taken. (b) Teraphim were wooden images consulted as idols from which they thought direction was given. (c) The liver was used in animal sacrifice and was looked upon as the most important part from which direction in what to do could be gained. 2. Observer of times- possibly referring to conjuring or astrology. 3. Enchanter - one who uses omens to cast spells. An omen is a phenomenon or occurrence interpreted as a sign of good or evil to come. 4. Witch- one who makes use of magic formulas or incantations. 5. Charmer- Psalm 58:4,5 6. Consulter of mediums- a person credited with special powers for communicating between the living and the dead. (See #7.) 7 Wizard - a sorcerer, magician, a person who seems to perform magic (often used with #6; Isaiah 8:19). 8. Necromancer - a person who practices necromancy, which is the art of foretelling the future or magically achieving some purpose by communication with the spirit of the dead; black magic. III. GOD WILL NOT TOLERATE THE VIOLATION: He will punish the violator. A. Scripture proof: Leviticus 20:6; II Corinthians 2:~0,11; Ephesians 4:26,27; 1 Timothy 4:1,2; I Peter 5:3,9 IV. GOD REQUIRES THE GROUND TO BE TAKEN BACK. A. Scripture proof: Genesis 35:1-5; II Kings 21-23; II Chronicles 33-35; Acts 19:11-20
