Scripture on How Do You Deal With Someone Who Believes In Tarrow Cards And Spirits
Deuteronomy 18:10-12
Old Testament
"Let no one be found among you who... practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells... Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord."
Isaiah 8:19
Old Testament
"When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?"
Acts 16:16-18
New Testament
"Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. Following Paul and the rest of us, she cried out, 'These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.' She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, 'In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!' At that moment the spirit left her."
1 John 4:1
New Testament
"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."
Proverbs 14:12
Old Testament
"There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death."
The Bottom Line
God doesn't compete for our trust—He forbids it. Tarot and spirit work aren't just wrong methods; they're attempts to access truth outside of Him.

Have a conversation with this person not to win an argument, but to understand what they're seeking—security, clarity, control—and gently ask if they'd consider what God offers instead.
Prayer
Jesus taught us to ask the Father for what we need (Matthew 7:7), including wisdom for how to love people caught in deception.
Father, I'm concerned for someone I care about who's seeking truth and direction through divination. Open my eyes to see what they're really searching for beneath this choice. Give me courage to speak Your truth without arrogance, and wisdom to know when to speak and when to pray. Help me trust that Your Spirit is more powerful than any false spirit they've encountered. And guard my own heart—keep me from judgment, and fill me with genuine love for them. In Jesus' name, Amen.
