Necromancy is the practice of communicating with the dead and the
Bible says in Deuteronomy chapter 18 and verse number 10 there shall not be found
among you anyone that maketh the sons or his daughters to pass through the fire
or that useth divination or an observer of times or an enchanter or a witch
verse 11 or a charmer or a consultor with familiar spirits or a wizard or a
necromancer for all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord and
because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before
thee see it goes without saying that God says that necromancy or consulting with
familiar spirits is not only sinful but those who actually practice these things
are an abomination unto the Lord our God God says this is not only abominable but
the person who does it is an abomination as well you say what does it have to do
with anything well aside from the fact that tomorrow the pagan practice of
Halloween is gonna be celebrated there's also another celebration that has at its
core the practice of necromancy it's gonna be promoting consulting with
familiar spirits and necromancy and that is Dia de los Muertos also known as Day
of the Dead now this practice finds its origins in pagan Aztec practices and
worship when the Roman Catholic Church came and conquered adopted and
integrated their beliefs it's a celebration that begins on October 31st
ends November 2nd and the purpose of the celebration is literally to evoke the
spirits of deceased loved ones from the dead people will literally see to evoke
the spirits of their dead loved ones by placing marigold flowers from the graves
up into their homes they will rear up altars they have sugar skulls and day of
the dead bread in order to entice the spirits of their dead loved ones to come
to their house they are evoked on October 31st and then they return to
their graves on November 2nd and make no mistake about it this is a pagan
practice that no Christian should partake of but we should definitely be
aware of it now the reason I want to make this video is because Day of the
Dead has been widely accepted and popularized in our culture and in fact
Disney had put out a movie a couple years ago called Coco that seeks to
normalize these pagan practices to the next generation it's an animated movie
that seeks to desensitize the pagan practices and worship of the Aztecs
known as Day of the Dead now time will not permit for me to explain all the
reasons why Day of the Dead is bad and why it's not biblical but if you want a
thorough and quite entertaining video to watch on that you can watch the film
that I put out a couple years ago called Dia de los Muertos a celebration of
death that's on my youtube channel and scroll down to the movies page and you
can watch it on there for free but let me just say this is that Day of the Dead
is simply a cheap substitution for the resurrection of God the true
resurrection that God talks about in the Bible you see keep in mind that Day of
the Dead seeks to evoke and resurrect the spirits of deceased loved ones for
three days out of the year every year whereas the Bible talks about a
permanent resurrection that lasts for an eternity you know the Bible says in
John chapter 6 and verse 40 and this is the will of him that sent me that
everyone would see at the Sun and believeth on him may have everlasting
life and I will raise him up in the last day the Bible says in verse 44 no man
can come to me except the Father which has sent me draw him and I will raise
him up in the last day John chapter 11 verse 25 says this Jesus said unto her I
am the resurrection and the life he that believeth in me though he were dead
yet shall he live and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die
believeth thou this you see there is a true resurrection that's coming but the
precursor to that resurrection is that we have to believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ we have to trust Jesus as our personal Savior in order to see that
resurrection in the last day this is how we comfort ourselves in the Lord knowing
full well that our family members who have believed on Christ and have passed
on from this life to the next that we will see them again one day and in fact
the Bible tells us in verse Thessalonians chapter number four and
verse 13 but I would not have you ignorant brethren concerning them which
are asleep that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope for if we
believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him for this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we
which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent
them which are asleep for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with
a shout and with the voice of the Archangel and with the trump of God and
the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with him in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and
so shall we ever be with the Lord wherefore come for one another with these
words you see God tells us to comfort ourselves in knowing that our saved
loved ones are gonna be seen again we're gonna see them again at the second
coming of Christ this is what we should be using to comfort ourselves not day of
the dead not necromancy not pagan practices that is promoted by the world
and by the devil and by things that are anti God and anti Christ and so I want
to encourage you to watch that movie Dia de los Muertos a celebration of death on
the YouTube channel put it in the link in the description below watch that
educate yourself and make sure that you stay away from these practices all right
god bless and have a great one
