Why?

Well Satan knows us well. He can predict what could happen to us but doesn’t know the exact nature of the future. However he can reel us in and lead us to create self fufilling prophecies that not only lead us away from God but lead us to our untimely death.

That’s why it’s important not to ask questions about lottery numbers, whether you’ll get married or not or when exactly you’ll die. Satan can easily deceive you into believing that you’ll live a short, lonely life, which could force you into despair and ironically living out that life, something which God does not want for you.

He wants you to be part of God’s wider community. He wants you to place your faith in Him, without question and not be alienated by Satan’s lies.

Whilst the Bible doesn’t mention the Ouija Board by name it warns us against contacting evil spirits. It urges us to resist temptation and to instead put faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Do you think Ouija Board players are putting their faith in the Lord if they are trying to contact spirits without his permission?

Absolutely not. There is no way to contact our dead relatives directly. We must instead pray to God in hope that our messages are delivered onto them. Besides, if they are with the Lord now, they know exactly what we are thinking. This is why it is important to keep a pure mind and to put our faith in God.

So yes, the Bible warns us against demeaning God’s authority by giving glory to these evil spirits that lurk inside the board.

Most people come to the Ouija Board with questions about their future.  These individuals are frequently desperate for some direction in their lives and therefore more susceptible to the lies emnating from the board.

Satan understands this weakness and will counter any question with a seemingly positive answer about the future, which will always try to lead the user away from God.

Imagine the player asks the Board about their career. The user is certain that they will serve The Church and the board understands this, so it will instead tell the player that their future lies in software development, banking or some other godless profession.
