Witches, Wizards, Witchcraft, and Sorcery - Christian Poem

For thousands of years people have been lied to and deceived
by the witches and fortune tellers and sorcerers in whom they believed.

Those who pretend to practice magic have led many people astray,
and these tricksters still exist within our modern society of today.

Even kings and queens have believed in their royal magician's claims,
and they have sacrificed their little children to evil spirits and demons.

If you wish to be wise then do not believe in a magic charm or spell,
because anyone who follows that path will eventually end up in Hell.

Bible

And do not waste your time trying to learn that which is simply not true.
There is no magic, or charm, or spell that has the power to help you.

God has promised He will judge all who practice witchcraft and sorcery,
and He will cast each and every one of them into Hell to spend eternity.

If you are in a spot where only a miracle can make your wish come true,
then pray to God and accept whatever happens as God’s will for you.

And if you want to know the future you don't need to practice divination.
You can read about the future in the Holy Bible's Book of Revelation.

Reference Scripture Verses
Exodus 7:8-13 - The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "When Pharaoh says to you, 'Perform a miracle,' then say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,' and it will become a snake." So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs. Yet Pharaoh's heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

Exodus 8:16-19 - Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground,' and throughout the land of Egypt the dust will become gnats."

But when the magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not. And the gnats were on men and animals. The magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God." But Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not listen, just as the LORD had said.

The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, "You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see the light of the sun." Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
