“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth 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. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12
There are those who turn to the supernatural for a helping hand.
Doyens of divination, astrologers, enchanters (those who use various methods of divination or foretelling future events), witches, charmers (those who use spells/those who use other claimed methods to control lower life forms), consulters with familiar (evil/demonic) spirits, wizards, necromancers (those who claim to talk to the dead): these are the primary members of the Familiar Spirit Club–though there are others (sorcerers, fortune tellers, etc.) who access illegitimate supernatural power for fun and profit.
ALL of these acts–as well as those who practice such arts–are proscribed by the Book of Deuteronomy 18:10-12.
During the end times, a great many more succumb to the temptation of consulting with familiar/evil spirits.
Even though such behaviors warrant SPECIFIC warnings from God’s Word.
Even though such spirits are a JUDGMENT FROM GOD against those who engage in such forbidden activities.
Even though those who employ such spirits may deceive themselves that these judgments are beneficial to them.
No matter what one may call them, devils/demons/evil spirits/unclean spirits/familiar spirits are very bad news for the one who contacts and accesses such illegitimate supernatural entities and the power such entities possess.
This is EXACTLY the opposite circumstance in which the one who consults with such spirits believe themselves to be.
—Demons, Devils, Familiar Spirits: The Demonic is a Perfect Judgment from God
Why do so many use familiar spirits?
Because so many desire the baubles, trinkets and parlor tricks of accessing illegitimate supernatural power.
Yet, familiar spirit is another name for evil/unclean spirit–what some call a “demon.”
God’s Word calls such spirits, “devils”–and there are several ways one can KNOW that such spirits are an affliction instead of a blessing.
1- Familiar spirits come from God Almighty.
Where Do Evil Spirits Come From?
2- Familiar spirits are a judgment from God Almighty, NOT a gift.
“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; And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.”
–1CHRONICLES 10:13-14
3- God’s Word calls such spirits “devils,” which has a meaning of adversary or opponent.
An adversary is most usually NOT someone who lends a helping hand.
Because those who consult with such evil spirits are deceived, they believe themselves to be in possession of something of great benefit–instead of an affliction.
Because those who consult with such unclearn spirits are deceived, they will go to great lengths to justify their illegitimate relationship. They often will attribute their many misfortunes and torments to ANYTHING but the cause of their troubles: their consulting with a familiar spirit.
Such folk need the prayers of believers.
Again, an adversary is most usually NOT someone who lends a helping hand.
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
