Occult practices should be avoided
Q: My brother really misses his wife, who died about six months ago. Now he’s talking about going to someone who claims she can make contact with his wife’s spirit. I think he’d just be wasting his money, but what should I tell him?
A: I hope you will strongly urge your brother not to have anything to do with this person or anyone else who says they have the power to make contact with the dead. The Bible clearly states that occult activities like this are not from God but from the demonic powers of
darkness.
I hope you will encourage your brother instead to find his peace and comfort in Jesus Christ. God knows the emptiness and grief your brother feels, and Christ wants to come into his life and take away those hurts.
Remember: For the Christian, death is not the end, because by his resurrection from the dead Christ conquered death and opened heaven’s door for us. He alone can give us hope.
