Are you kinda bohemian in style? What’s wrong with that, Kurt? Nothing as far as I can see. As a So Cal surfer I was told I am like that. Does style really matter much? I don’t think so. I still like really nice waves (like I found this week) and really good music styles today. Now I check out the lyric content closely.

King Saul in the OT had been out fighting the wrong enemy for so long that when the real enemy appeared, the king was unprepared. Read 1 Samuel 28. God was not with him, and prayer was not answered (Prov. 1:20–33). When Saul began his reign, it was “the dawning of the day” (1 Sam. 9:26), but now he was walking in the darkness. Saul did not disguise himself (v. 8); he revealed his true self.
Throughout his reign, he had been pretending, and the truth was coming out.
Depending on demonic forces, the medium planned to impersonate Samuel, but the Lord permitted Samuel to appear. The friend Saul grieved in life, he called for in death. Too late do we learn to appreciate those who tried to help us. Too late do we humble ourselves.
King Saul’s disobedience in the past led to darkness in the present and defeat and death in the future. When God gave him opportunities to repent, he ignored them. He did not “seek the LORD while He may be found” (Isa. 55:6).
What are spirit guides? Should Christians consult spirit guides?
Many use the term magical to describe something beautiful these days (who hasn’t?) but...
I grew up in a huge world religion I call the Roman Church (the Catholic org) where the leaders and others prayed to Mary and to the saints.. and even to statues. It was way off-base. Didn’t help me any.
Those with the LDS org (Mormons) teach that Jesus Christ is the spirit brother to Lucifer (who was a created angel at one time). They say you humans can become gods.. yeah, with deity. They mix some truths with a lot of falsehood. It’s a cult and the Jehovah Witness org is a cult too.
There are healthy Christian churches with spiritually healthy leadership. They are feeding God’s flock instead of fleecing the flock like the false teachers like to do. Give yourself to the Lord first. Seek Him daily so you can know His will for you. I say pray and find healthy Christian fellowship big or small.. if you want to live a balanced and blessed life.
Too many people go to groups that are cultic and hide weirdness. So many people in our day get involved in the Occult as well. I say, ditch Mr. Lu-Cifers and his plan for you cuz he is a thief and a liar. Kill, steal and destroy--that’s been his aim from the beginning.

Should a Christian consult horoscopes? Naww, not good for anyone.

What are Ouija boards? Should a Christian play with Ouija boards? Nope. And others don’t need to open their life up to demons -- why want demons inside of you tormenting, oppressing and controlling you? That’s a horrible option, even if TV shows or new songs you hear try to make all this this so cool looking!
You see them in movies sometimes. What are Ouija boards? Should a Christian play with Ouija boards? Is a Ouija board just a game, or do spirits actually control the movements?
Got some questions about Christians and the Occult?
God forbade Israel to dabble in the occult (Exod. 22:18; Lev. 19:31; 20:6; Deut. 18:9–14), and these warnings should be heeded today, too.
Sorcery is one of the works of the flesh that must be rejected (Gal. 5:20). Both Peter (Acts 8:9ff.) and Paul (Acts 13:6ff.) had harsh words for sorcerers. Seemingly innocent games that border on the occult can open the door to serious problems and oppression. Who really wants any of that? Not me. As for seances, read what see Isaiah 8:19 has to say. Knowing and worshiping the Lord acceptably -- that’s where real life is.
Many people want power at any price today. So many want to experience the supernatural no matter the source. Not me.

Don’t put this decision off. Come to God today as you are. No excuses. Not to decide is to decide.. cuz that’s putting Him off and none of us really have a promise of living tomorrow right.
The Evangelist Billy Sunday defined an excuse as “the skin of a reason stuffed with a lie.”
Benjamin Franklin said, “I never knew a man who was good at making excuses who was good at anything else.”
Adam made the first excuse for sin (Gen. 3:12 in the Bible). Remember when he and Eve blew it in the garden? Many people have followed Adam and Eve's bad example there.
Excuses only make matters worse for us. Now is good for you to get right with God on His terms -- He’ll welcome you with strong open-arms of love. Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matt. 11:30
I'm into walking with my best Friend, the Jesus of the Bible. So knowable is He. What are you like and into these days? Go with what God has for you -- enjoy real freedom. His plan rocks, it's the greatest of all adventures -- it's beyond thrillin' to tell you the truth! Yep. A life worth living.
