Wives Tales- Superstitions- Word Of God

Why is it so easy to believe old wives tales, or superstitions passed down, and yet people find it hard to believe the Word of God. It is the same with people who go to psychics to have their fortune told to them. Why is this person who has only been on the earth a short time, so much more believable than the Word of God which has been around for over 2000 years? Did you ever stop to think about that? Why would someone who decided one day to start a business as a fortune teller, buys some little toy magic ball to look into, or some tarot cards that are sold in all magic shops, or mystic shops around the world, probably even in some department stores, why would they have more accreditation than the creator Himself of all the earth and the heavenlies. I mean He created the very stars that these nut jobs are trying to tell you they can predict your future from. I am confused. People say we as Christians, are peculiar. Why is it that we are peculiar because we believe documentation from over 2000 years ago, but these people are not peculiar, because they make up what ever they want and then sell it to whomever will pay for it?
And people pay big bucks for this. Yet the word of God is free to all who will listen.

The word of God tells you how you can have eternal life, and have it abundantly. The word tells you how God wants to bless you with all good things, excellent health, prosperity, salvation. Yet some people would rather throw money away to someone who can not guarantee them anything. I mean do they give you a written guarantee that you will get rich, that you will live a long life, or that you will spend eternity in the heavenlies. No, they can not guarantee you anything. But yet the word of God does guarantee you that if you do what God says, and believe with the Faith God tells you to believe with, you will have what the word of God says. Because when God says it, it has to be brought about, because God can not tell a lie.

It just amazes me at how quick people will jump on board with someone who just started some new movement about how you can believe what ever way you choose and its ok, we just all want to get along together, and when someone is generous they are doing God's work, where do they get that? Certainly not from the word of God. Works without faith get you nowhere. Just like Faith without works will get you nowhere. The anti-christ will come in the form of a generous well liked person, because that is what he comes for, to deceive and confuse those who are following God. And do not be mis-led by the word (he). There are many helpers with the anti-christ who may be in the form of a woman. Someone who gives and gives so generously, then tries to put a twist on these actions and lead people away from Christ. A person who diligently works to the good of others, only one day to try to inject their beliefs about how the Lord Jesus is not the only way to heaven and to salvation, when God, Himself clearly says that Jesus is the only way. I mean who is their god that they believe he would have more power than the God who created them?

There is not one God for this one, and one God for that one. No there is only one God, and He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the author and finisher of your life. He created you from the spoken word in the beginning and He will be the finisher of your life. So do not look to fortune tellers for your future, just open the Word of God, and you can find your entire future right in the pages of His word.

Jer. 50 v 36....A sword is against the soothsayers, and they will be fools. A sword is against her mighty men and they will be dismayed....
(soothsayer meaning fortune tellers) Sword meaning the sword of God

Daniel 2 v 27-28..Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, "The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king. But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days.......

Rev. 22 v 14-15...Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie....

John 10 v 25-30... Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one."......

Ephes. 2 v 8-9....For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.....

Revelation 2 v 4-8...And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." and He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.".......

I say all of this in love for you through Jesus Christ who lives in me.
