1-888-Psychic-Hotline

I thought Charleston was going to be the same as our previous ministry days. However, I could not have been farther from the truth, for I believe God had a lesson He wanted to teach me. Frankie and I had been assigned to the camera crew for the first half of the day and after interviewing a husband and wife, a very interesting lady approached us and asked if she could answer our question about what truth is. She never really gave us a direct answer to what truth is. She did tell us that she believes we should be doing good in the world by being kind to those around us. Not starting wars and killing children in Pakistan; not judging others because of their race or nationality. During the conversation she started to tell us of her friend that is a psychic and how she is able to see the spirits of dead people floating around Charleston; can predict when a person is going to die and even talk to the spirits. When I heard her speaking these words, I immediately felt God’s Holy Spirit telling me to push deeper into what this mysterious lady believes. The lady ended up asking if Frankie and I could follow her to meet her husband. As we were walking I asked her if she believed in heaven or hell, she replied no. She told us that her psychic friend told her that when you die, if you are a bad person here on earth you will be sent to outer darkness until you can come back to do some good. Then I asked her what she believes happens when a person that has done nothing but good here on earth dies, where do they go. Her answer was she didn’t know so she pulled her cell phone out of her purse, dialed her psychic friend, handed me the phone and said I should ask her our “What is truth” question. (You can imagine how utterly shocked I was) I was completely terrified to talk to a psychic; I had no idea what I was going to say. When I asked the lady who claims to be a psychic what is truth, her answer was basically the same as her friends. She said we need to do good in our world by being kind and doing good works. So I asked her if she believes she’s a good person. She said “Of course I do”. Then I asked her if she believed that we should keep the Ten Commandments and she replied yes. Then I asked her if she would mind if I asked her some questions about the Ten Commandments. The first question I asked her was if she had ever told a lie. She said yes. After a couple of minutes of talking about what lie’s really are and debating whether or not all lies are the same, she started to really get aggravated with me, I could hear a change in her tone of voice. Her friend that Frankie and I had been talking to may have sensed something because she told me she needed her phone back. After hanging up with the psychic, I had so many thoughts running through my mind on how different I could have handled the situation, what more I could have said and what I shouldn’t have said. From that experience I was reminded of Jeremiah 1:6-9 “Then I said: ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.’ But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am a youth”, for you shall go to all whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you.” Says the Lord. Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.”
