Long weekend, short morning and it's time to get back to it. Wherever does the time go? It would seem that some of that destructive hail returned to the area last night, but our little town was spared. Maybe we just cast the right spells? Not likely! We don't mess with that stuff because a warning voice in the mind suggests, "I don't think He would like that."
The witch of Endor (or En Dor) had the power to recall the spirit of Samuel from the grave (see 1 Sam 28), but no one came out happy in the affair. Saul still lost his kingdom and received a prophecy about his imminent doom, the witch feared for her life after discovering the deception, and Samuel didn't seem exactly grateful to be called back from the afterlife. A story good for us to recall when we feel like messing around with anything smacking of the witchcraft. However, we will often hear a warning deep in the thoughts when approaching something that is of nature that is not of our Lord.
When we come upon a method that we don't think Jesus would like, we will hear that voice or get that impression of warning. The Holy Spirit does not always speak in words but will give us a hesitation, a feeling, or sense that this thing is not something He would like. As we go through this life, it is good for us to test methods and actions that we may consider and ask, what would He like?
Have a great week in Christ!Bucky
