Isaiah 47:10: “For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. ... Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.”
Satan's evil nature and his sneaky methods haven't changed. God's honest and
holy character hasn't changed. Please don't make the grave mistake of thinking
that spiritual things have changed with the advent of modern cultural changes.
Although the world is constantly changing, God never changes. Malachi
3:6, “For I am the LORD, I change not...” Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ
the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Amen. God hasn't
changed, mankind has. The same God Who hated sin in the Old Testament hates
sin today. And the same rotten Devil who desired to destroy Job's life still
wants to destroy your life today.
“God forbids his people to dabble in this satanic system. When a people turn from God, they generally go after the occult and abnormal. There is a great turning today to the occult, a great turning to the spirit world and demonology. We have here in southern California a Church of Satan. There's one up in the bay area. They're spreading! Many are worshipping the Devil today.” —Pastor J. Vernon McGee (Thru The Bible, Isaiah 8:9-22)
Satan's nature is that of a deceiver, a liar and a murderer. John 8:44, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” One of Satan's evil ways of deceiving people is with astrology, zodiacs and horoscopes, which promise confused and hurting people spiritual guidance.
Sadly, the online website YouTube has been promoting a lot of advertisements for occult materials, false religion, lewdness and witchcraft. I have been bombarded lately while viewing sermon videos on YouTube with advertisements promoting astrology and zodiac horoscopes. The woman claims to be a professional astrologer, psychic medium, numerologist and tarot card reader who goes by the name “BARBARA.” I clicked on the YouTube ad which brought me to a website which states, quote: “I will offer you wisdom, perspective, and vision for what is in your future path on career, finances, new beginnings, your wellbeing and relationships.” Here's a full-quote from the satanic website...

Barbara is an unsaved woman who is serving the Devil. I am not trying to be unkind; but rather, honest. As a born-again Christian, I am obligated to contend for the Christian faith. As a sincere man who walks with God, and personally knows God, I desire to lead others to the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, and to teach them how to walk with God. My friend, religion is not Christianity. You can spend your life seeking for knowledge and wisdom and yet die in woeful ignorant. 2nd Timothy 3:7, “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Astrology cannot satisfy the great need of your soul. Horoscopes cannot predict your future or mend your broken heart. Zodiacs cannot give you true wisdom, nor can any fortune teller guide you through life's stormy seas. Only the man with the nail-scarred hands and pierced feet can meet those needs. Oh, how the world needs JESUS CHRIST!!!
My friend, astrology is a form of witchcraft. What is witchcraft? Witchcraft is seeking spiritual help, advice or guidance from any spiritual source other than the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. In other words, seeking Satan's help. There are only two sources of spiritual guidance, advice and power: God and Satan. Any spirit that is not the Holy Spirit is a familiar spirit (demon). Beware of psychics, fortune tellers, tarot card readers and anyone who dabbles in such occult practices, for the Bible condemns all forms of witchcraft.
On the same webpage for Barbara's occult business, the following information is provided to explain the basis for their claims:
Astrology consists of belief systems which hold that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world. In the West, astrology most often consists of a system of horoscopes that claim to explain aspects of a person's personality and predict future events in their life based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other planetary objects at the time of their birth. Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and the Indians, Chinese, and Mayans developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations.

Notice that they base their occult predictions upon the stars and astronomical events. The Bible prohibits consulting the stars for wisdom. The Babylonians (Chaldeans) trusted in their wickedness instead of trusting the Lord. The Lord mocks them in Isaiah 47:10 by telling them to go to their stargazers and astrologers to deliver them from imminent coming judgment...
Isaiah 47:10: “For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. ... Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.”
Trusting In The Lord Verses Man's Foolish Wisdom
1st Corinthians 3:19, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1st Corinthians 1:21,“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” Did you read that? The world BY WISDOM failed to know God. That's because Satan uses worldly reasoning to deceive unbelievers that the Bible is not true, Jesus is not deity and man knows best. The wicked world is foolish, knowing nothing! The Bible is God's inspired Word. A truly wise person receives God's Word as being truth!
We all need God's wisdom. Man's wisdom is perverted, sensual and greedy. The Word of God commands us to TRUST IN THE LORD. We read in the following passage of Scripture to acknowledge God IN ALL OUR WAYS, and then we have the promise from God that HE WILL DIRECT OUR PATHS...
Proverbs 3:5-7, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.”
Notice that there are 6-words to each portion of Proverbs 3:6. That is...
IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM...
...AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS
This is how we are to live our life. The Bible says NOT to lean upon our own understanding. The Bible promises that God will direct our paths IF we acknowledge Him, that is, seek His opinion. We are commanded to acknowledge in God in ALL, not some, but ALL THY WAYS.
