Saturday evening I was at a picnic a farewell picnic for a Brazilian friend who moved back to Brazil Monday. It as a fun time with friends and meeting new ones. We had hotdogs Brazilian style that they call cachorro quente. They top the hotdogs with things like mashed potatoes, corn etc.
At one point in the evening, one of the women started guessing the zodiac signs of some of the guests and making predictions. I was at a nearby table observing what was happening.. My Brazilian friends were amazed and laughing as she correctly guessed the zodiac sign of four of them and made predictions. It concerned me that my friends would be misled.
So I prayed and asked Jesus to blind/block her concerning me and walked up to the table. She tried to guess about me six times and got it wrong each time. Then I shared that I believe in Jesus not in astrology and that I had prayed for Jesus to block her concerning me. I shared that I need no sign to tell me anything about me because I only need Jesus. That ended what was going on.
There are things like astrology that seem fun and ‘spiritual’ but are deceptive and lead people away from Jesus. However, Jesus has all power and is the only one we should look to. Jesus is our creator, savior, and Lord. I did not want my friends to be misled. So even though it meant being a ‘buzzkill’ to their fun, it was important to do something.
Things can seem like harmless fun but if they led people away from Jesus than they are not harmless. As a Christian, my desire is to be alert and keep focus on Jesus.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
