Hey! I’m Chelsea and I started this website as a way to get closer to God through devotional time. I thought, why not share it with others? If I have questions, it’s very possible that you have questions as well. Eventually, this website will have short storiesarticles as well as devotions. I would also like to implement prayer requests and a place to share answered prayers and testimonials I can feature. I live in Texas with my mom and our two dogs Twiggy and Bella. I’m a woman who has been through the fire many times, and the only way I came out of it was the love of God. Until things come together, please feel free to comment your need for prayer. You have the option of telling me “Please pray, God knows.” or if you want it to be specific, you’re more than welcome to share. Praying it all comes together soon!

Spoiler Alert! The Cards Can’t Tell You What God Already Knows

Deuteronomy 18:9-13 NIV When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.You must be blameless before the Lord your God.

I know the above verse is long and you’re probably thinking, “Okay what is she talking about?” You also may be rolling your eyes thinking the old testament is just full of old laws that are null and void. Well, I’m talking about Divination! Divination is defined as the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means. It’s an attempt to gain insight into a question or situation by use of magic ritual or practice. I will also tell you that the Lord specifically speaks against these things and more in the new testament as well. [Acts, Galatians, even Revelation, and I promise to get into all of that!]

Some examples of Divination are fortune telling, witchcraft, tarot and palm reading, crystal balls, crystal healing, astrology and necromancy [speaking to dead people]. I am going to tell you about all these things in separate devotions.

When the Lord said “Write about divination” I admit, I really questioned him and dragged my feet. To a degree, I still am! Scrolling through social media, I found current believers who formerly dedicated their lives to these same practices, but now they speak on why it’s dangerous. Surely, they are much more qualified to speak on these matters than I am.

While it can be a pretty confusing and a difficult topic to address, I encourage you to do your own research and ask the Lord for discernment and conviction. Some of these topics are seen as harmless to other Christians, and while I will explain my alternative view, the Lord may not convict you of the same things he has convicted me of.

My aim isn’t to scare or shame anyone but to invite you to seek him first in all things and share what I’ve learned in my own journey. Obedience is rarely comfortable, but I believe he convicts to protect and show his sovereign love. I am praying that you stay open to whatever the Lord wants to reveal.
