So I want you to know she's not necessarily charlatan in the sense of like, you know
She is by sleight of hand trying to you know, do these things the bible actually says she's possessed by a demon
And the second thing I want you to notice is that she's possessed by a spirit
Uh of divination which the bible also calls necromancy. Okay now go with me if you would to leviticus chapter 20
Hold your place there
leviticus chapter 20 in verse 16 of acts 16
It says that it came to pass as we went to prayer a certain damsel possessed with the spirit of divination
Met us, okay
Now
Today you still have this
palm readers
Look in the spanish culture
You have this a lot
Where they have these what they call botanicas
Where you can go there and they'll they'll tell your future they'll read your palm
They'll they'll do all these weird rituals on you in order to get information about you
They basically invoke a spirit to try to get information about you and lie, right?
And you know these people will say well, you know, we can you can communicate to the dead
You know because they have unfinished business here. How many have you ever heard something like that?
Yeah, their their spirit is stuck here
Because they have unfinished business
Folks when someone dies, there's only one of two places they're going to go
Yeah
If the person is saved and what I mean by saved, I mean they they believe on the lord jesus christ exclusively
For eternal life the bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord
Business is over
Right as soon as someone dies in the lord
Their body goes into the ground, but their spirit goes to heaven to be with the lord forever. Okay
Now if that person is not saved if this individual
Did not trust christ as their savior. They're depending on their works
They're depending on their church or on keeping the commandments on repenting of their sins on getting baptized on anything other than jesus christ
That person will go to hell
And the bible says that when that person dies, they will lift up their eyes and help being in torment
