Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
Let's get straight to it; we know that God does not delight in those who contact the dead. It is interesting that Saul removes the mediums from the land after Samuel's death. This whole story is a bit strange. However, this woman is able to make contact with Samuel. I might have assumed it was a demon if not for verse 16, which says, "And Samuel said." Then, he follows up by repeating what God had declared to Saul.
In Acts 16, we see a young woman possessed by a demon who is able to prophesy. Eventually, Paul casts the demon out of her, and the people who used her as a slave realize their source of income is gone. There really are people who can speak to the dead. There really are people who, by demonic power, can prophesy. These are not things to be trifled with. You would do well to avoid any such thing. Engaging with one who interprets omens, says they can predict the future, or claims to speak to the dead is wickedness. We shouldn't even engage in reading horoscopes or astrology. We are to be controlled by the Holy Spirit within us and should never seek trinkets or people attached to false gods, demons, or spirits.
