Since any spirits accessed outside of Christ are evil, it is their very nature to deceive and harm their victims. For example, the fortune teller mentioned in the book of Acts kept giving supernatural affirmation that the apostles were from the Most High God and were proclaiming the way of salvation (Acts 16:16-19). By this she was giving the deceptive impression that she, too, knew the true God and promoted his ways, when she was actually under the influence of a demonic spirit, which, of course, is opposed to Christ. In reality, only God knows exactly what will happen in the future. What humans and other intelligent beings can do, however, is say that something will happen and then try to make it come to pass. I can predict that tomorrow I will get up at six in the morning. If Im determined, there is a good chance that I can make my prediction come to pass, but the Almighty can foil my plans. Only God knows for sure if I will even be alive tomorrow. So demons could speak through something or someone claiming to know the future outside of Christ, saying such things as, You will marry a beautiful brunette. If I were lonely, that would be a good way to get me interested in what the demons say. Then if they wish to get me even more hooked, they could prove their powers by sending my way one of the countless beautiful brunettes under Satans control. What they predict might not happen. They might get their laughs out of teasing me, or their plans might fail after all, only God is all-powerful and infallible. However, unless I repent of consulting something or someone demonically inspired, the Lord is unlikely to be moved to override their evil plans. And if they succeed, I will end up in the horrifying predicament of marrying someone chosen by the devil. So although Im unlikely to realize it at the time, by consulting the supernatural without a dependence upon Jesus, I would not only be seeking the help of evil spirits but giving these spirits permission to influence my future. And since the spirits are evil, we can be sure that no matter how nice it starts off, the end result will be most unpleasant. Taken from Deliverance from Demons and Curses
