Description
When we were kids, we were told to listen to “the voice of God” which was usually something someone else told us, and rarely, if ever, something we actually “heard” with our ears. Even our own intuition couldn’t possibly be right, so we spent our childhoods and young adulthoods under the impression that we couldn’t make a decision lest we be out of God’s will. In the Bible, there are SO MANY stories about people using divination to understand what they perceived the will of God to be - and some of those stories (Gideon, for instance) are held up as triumphs…whereas others are condemned (King Saul consulting a medium or fortune teller - Jehova was like, NOPE, you’re not King anymore). What is divination, anyway? Will you be smoted from the earth if you use it? (spoiler: no) Divination is the practice of getting insight into a question or situation, it's not scary at all, we promise.Things you can read about divination (if you dare!)Divination is terrible and a sin: https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-divination.htmlReferences in the Old Testament to Divination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchcraft_and_divination_in_the_Hebrew_BibleA Very Fun Article About Christians and Magic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_views_on_magic
