				    THE OUIJA BOARD
			   Is it really a harmless game?

   A harmless game? "It's fun to play Ouija Board!" "It scared me!"
"It shocked me with the things it told me!"  These are just some of
the remarks you hear when this subject is mentioned.

   But what is this fascinating and oft-times frightening game
believed by so many people that they even allow it to control their
lives?  The Spiritualists tells us we are contacting the dead, and we
are to accept these messages as coming from our departed Loved ones.
Also, they explain that messages are given to us from "Guides" or
"Guardian Angels" from the Spirit World.  The people who have become
adept at this game will say some unseen, intelligent force seems to
control their hand and spell these "Messages".

   For the answer to this problem I feel we must turn to the world's
greatest authority - the word of God.  Paul, writing in Ephesians 6:12
says "For we wrestle not against Flesh and Blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

   One of the major doctrines denounced by the Bible is Demonology,
and that is just what Paul refers to in Ephesians 6:12.  Many
scriptures refer to these unseen intelligences.  As one who has
tampered with influences for almost a lifetime, I appreciate what Paul
meant and I know this to be a fact.  Within these many scriptures the
Bible discusses Necromancy (Gr. - Contact with the Dead).  "There
shall not be found among you anyone that maketh his son or daughter to
pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of
times, or an enchanter, or a Witch, or a Charmer, or a consulter with
Familiar spirits, or a Wizard, or a Necromancer." (Deuteronomy
18:10,11).  Space does not permit us to quote the many scriptures we
could use against this unholy fascination.

   We see, therefore, that Ouija Boards and all kinds of spiritualism
can be nothing but communion with demons, against scripture, and we
must remember that God passed the Death sentence on all mediums that
had familiar spirits and also upon people consulting with them.  It is
sternly forbidden by God as defiling.  Why go to the Ouija Board when
we can go to the Lord Jesus Christ?  The Bible says, "For there is one
God, and one mediator between God and Men, the man Christ Jesus."  (1
Timothy 2:5)

   To those who are constantly looking for miracles or signs, Jesus
says, "An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign."
(Matthew 12:39). Are you seeking after a sign using the Ouija Board?
