Inquiring of God

Inquiring of God 

Just moments ago I finished reading an article on a blog hosted by an atheist, and written by another atheist.  I will not give you the link.  I have read articles on this blog several times and find myself weeping for the people who have fallen into such a snare.  That weblog is hosted by an individual who confesses that he is a former Christian, but has left Christianity.

I find it fruitless to discuss with him the elements of Christianity.  That if he had truly ever known Jesus Christ there would be no way he would leave.  The individual is still longing, looking for fulfillment, even though he/she says they have found it.  They are looking to their families for fulfillment.  Maybe their jobs or careers, and yet they have no peace within.  The only place for genuine peace is with God.  We all must be, “Inquiring of God“.

Hear the Word of God through the prophet:

“Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.  And when they say to you, ‘Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,’ should not a people inquire of their God?  Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living?  To the teaching and to the testimony!  If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.  They will pass through the land, greatly distressed and hungry.  And when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will speak contemptuously against their king and their God, and turn their faces upward.  And they will look to the earth, but behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish.  And they will be thrust into thick darkness.”  Isaiah 8:18-22 (ESV).

Why is it that a people of God would turn against Him, such as has been brought to our attention by Isaiah, and the other prophets.  In the first place they have taken their eyes off Him and put them in the material.  These mentioned in the verses above find more pleasure in going to the “Mediums and the necromancers”.  All they get from them are the same you get from them today.  Words that could fit anybody anywhere in the world.

There are television programs on the air now espousing the doctrines of speaking with the dead [necromancers and mediums].  You have the show “Medium”, and “Ghost Whisperer”.  I have not seen either one of them.  I will not watch them.  They have no value whatever to a child of God; but then, there are not many TV shows that do.  These are tools of the enemy of God; who is also the enemy of mankind, and who is seeking to destroy mankind, but knows his time is short.

If what the mediums and necromancers speak does not agree with God’s Word, then, you can know it is not of God and that there is no light in them.  How is it that the popular atheistic authors are writing against something that does not exist [according to their thinking].  My question is how do you fight against a non-existent being.  That sounds like an oxymoronic thought to me.  They are not speaking according to the Word of the Lord.  They are looking to the same things of the mediums and necromancers, trusting the same things, and the same person.

The people who have turned their back on God through their prideful heads ["turning their faces upward"] into the air as to say, “I will have it my way”.  They do not believe God nor His prophet, and they will face the judgment coming looking to the things of earth, and they will fail them, and receive distress, darkness, the gloom of anguish, and, “they will be driven into darkness” (NKJV).

I used to believe that those who have rebelled against God will have their eyes opened in hell, but too late.  I have changed that belief to be that even while they cursed and rebelled against God while living in earth, they will go through eternity cursing God, and all through the time of their eternal suffering.  May eyes be opened and people come to faith in YHWH through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ the eternal God-man, Son of God.
