together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and

he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord
answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by

woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go
to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said
to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a
familiar spirit at Endor.
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other
raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and
they came to the woman by night: and he said, I
pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit,
and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto
thee.
9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou
knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut
off those that have familiar spirits, and the
wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest
thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

to thee for this thing.

unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.

saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art

what sawest thou? And the woman said unto
Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

she said, An old man cometh up; and he is
covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it
was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the
ground, and bowed himself.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou
disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul
answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines
make war against me, and God is departed from
me, and answereth me no more, neither by
prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called
thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what
I shall do.
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou
ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee,
and is become thine enemy?
17 And the Lord hath done to him, as he spake
by me: for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of
thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to
David:
18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the
Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon
Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done this thing
unto thee this day.
19 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with
thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to
morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the
Lord also shall deliver the host of Israel into the
hand of the Philistines.
20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the
earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words
of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for
he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the
night.
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that
he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold,
thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have
put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto
thy words which thou spakest unto me.
22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also
unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a
morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou
mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy
way.
23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his
servants, together with the woman, compelled
him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he
arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house;
and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and
kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread
thereof:
25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his
servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up,
and went away that night.

committed against the Lord, even against the

20 And in all matters of wisdom and
understanding, that the king enquired of them, he
found them ten times better than all the
magicians and astrologers that were in all his
realm.
Daniel 2:2
2 Then the king commanded to call the
magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers,
and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his
dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
Daniel 2:10
10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and
said, There is not a man upon the earth that can
shew the king’s matter: therefore there is no king,
lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any
magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
Daniel 4:7
7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers,
the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told
the dream before them; but they did not make
known unto me the interpretation thereof.
Daniel 5:7-15
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers,
the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king
spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon,
Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me
the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with
scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck,
and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
8 Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they
could not read the writing, nor make known to
the king the interpretation thereof.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and
his countenance was changed in him, and his
lords were astonied.
10 Now the queen, by reason of the words of the
king and his lords, came into the banquet house:
and the queen spake and said, O king, live for
ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy
countenance be changed:
11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the
spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy
father light and understanding and wisdom, like
the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom
the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I
say, thy father, made master of the magicians,
astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and
knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of
dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and
dissolving of doubts, were found in the same
Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now
let Daniel be called, and he will shew the
interpretation.
13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king.
And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou
that Daniel, which art of the children of the
captivity of Judah, whom the king my father
brought out of Jewry?
14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the
gods is in thee, and that light and understanding
and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have
been brought in before me, that they should read
this writing, and make known unto me the
interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the
interpretation of the thing:
All the above practices were and still are carried
on in connection with demons, called familiar
spirits. All who forsook God and sought help from
these demons were to be destroyed.
Leviticus 19:31
31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits,
neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them:
I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 20:6
6 And the soul that turneth after such as have
familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring
after them, I will even set my face against that
soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
Deuteronomy 18:11
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar
spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
1 Chronicles 10:13
13 So Saul died for his transgression which he
committed against the Lord, even against the
word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for
asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to
enquire of it;
2 Chronicles 33:6
6 And he caused his children to pass through the
fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he
observed times, and used enchantments and used
witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and
with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of
the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
Isaiah 8:19
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto
them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards
that peep, and that mutter: should not a people
seek unto their God? for the living to the dead.
Isaiah 19:3
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst
thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof:
and they shall seek to the idols, and to the
charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits,
and to the wizards.
Isaiah 29:4
4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt
speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be
low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of
one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground,
and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
Matthew 24:24
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they
shall deceive the very elect.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his
mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of
Satan with all power and signs and lying
wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness
in them that perish; because they received not the
love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie,:
12 That they all might be damned who believed
not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.
1 Timothy 4:1-8
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the
latter times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of
devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their
conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to
abstain from meats, which God hath created to
be received with thanksgiving of them which
believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing
to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and
prayer.
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of
these things, thou shalt be a good minister of
Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith
and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast
attained.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and
exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness
is profitable unto all things, having promise of the
life that now is, and of that which is to come.

Revelation 13:1-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw
a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven
heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear,
and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and
great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded
to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and
all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they worshipped the
beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? who is
able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies; and
power was given unto him to continue forty and
two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against
God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle,
and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them: and power was
given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and
nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship
him, whose names are not written in the book of
life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into
captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be
killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the
faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of
the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and
he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first
beast before him, and causeth the earth and them
which dwell therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he
maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth
in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by
the means of those miracles which he had power
to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them
that dwell on the earth, that they should make an
image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image
of the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be
killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads;
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or
the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for
it is the number of a man; and his number is Six
hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 16:13-16
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the
false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working
miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the
earth and of the whole world, to gather them to
the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk
naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Revelation 19:20
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the
false prophet that wrought miracles before him,
with which he deceived them that had received
the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped
his image. These both were cast alive into a lake
of fire burning with brimstone.
As you can read in the above scriptures, Satan
and his demons will be defeated. For the
Christian, the victory is already won.
The Christian is given many warnings against and
descriptions of occult practices in the Bible. If we
do not keep our eyes on Jesus and continue to
study His Word, we can very easily fall into the
deception described in the above scriptures.
Remember to check everything against the Word
and test the spirits to see if they are of God. That
is the only protection available to the Christian.
