Day 280 The Truth About Witchcraft | Deuteronomy 18:10–12

Send us a text

The line between “harmless fun” and a harmful open door can be thinner than it looks. We take a straight path through Deuteronomy 18:10–12 and ask hard but hopeful questions about fortune telling, sorcery, omens, and spell casting—why Scripture forbids them, what they promise, and how those promises mask a deeper pull away from the God who loves and protects us. Rather than scolding, we aim for clarity and care: God’s boundaries aren’t about withholding joy; they’re about closing the door to deception that wants to master us.

We share how pop culture can slowly normalize the occult, making it feel light, empowering, or cute, and we offer a simple audit you can use today: which movies, books, shows, or activities in your life celebrate or glamorize witchcraft? If you find them, consider removing them as an act of obedience and a step toward freedom. Along the way, we contrast counterfeit power with the real power found in God’s presence, and we offer a focused prayer for discernment—asking the Father to help us recognize and reject anything that draws us toward darkness, while anchoring our hearts in Jesus’ victory.

If you’ve felt the tug of curiosity, this conversation invites you to trade control for trust and counterfeits for communion. We wrap with practical next steps and resources to keep growing: Scripture to meditate on, habits that reshape desire, and a better vision for wonder that rests in God’s love. If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for daily wisdom, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.
