BEWARE of Psychic Source!
By David J. Stewart | March 2013
“Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain...” —Jeremiah 10:2,3
One of the most evil television commercial programs is “Psychic Source.”
Their website is at
PsychicSource.com. Their business advertises, “the most respected
psychic source for more than 20 years.” They claim to be gifted and
professional psychics. Even worse they profess to care about their callers
who are charged $1 per minute for first time callers. They're now offering
a special introductory offer of 10 minutes for $10 and they toss
in 5 minutes for free. They just want to make money. They don't care about
suffering people.
On their website, Psychic Source instructs new customers to set up an account and then they can add $15 to $500 to their account. Each time clients call, money is deducted. It makes me sick that they tell people how much they care in the ads upfront, but then state in the mundane fine print barely visible at the bottom of the screen (which only flashes momentarily) that it's only for entertainment. The bottom of their main webpage says...
*New member offer valid for first time customers who have never made a Psychic Source purchase. Limit $30, some exclusions apply. Up to 3 minutes of your first paid psychic reading are free. Free minutes have no cash value and are not available to customers who have previously received a free trial of the service.

The psychics claim repeatedly on their television commercial to genuinely care about people. Yet, the preceding disclaimer on their main webpage says “For entertainment only.” In my opinion as a Christian, it is evil to claim to genuinely care about someone and be able to help someone in exchange for their money (and then you say in the fine print that it's only entertainment). That's like approaching someone whose mother just died and saying:
“I really care about you friend. I can help you. I can give you accurate and expert answers. I have many years of experience helping hurting souls. I want to get to know you. I really care about you. I can give you hope. But please understand that it's just entertainment. I'm just doing this to entertain you to get your money.”
You'd be devastated, offended and hurt. Honestly, I wish such manipulation of people were outlawed. It's a horrible thing to play games with people's feelings. Granted, most people know that it's just for entertainment, but A LOT of people don't. People don't spend their money to call a psychic because they truly believe that it's entertaining. The psychics claim to have a special gift of knowledge and insight into people's lives. That's just plain wrong! No one should legally be allowed to deceive others for personal gain. It's an obvious racket in my opinion.
The TV infomercials claim that psychics have supernatural power, gifts (which they claim have been authenticated). By claiming that their special insight into people's lives has been AUTHENTICATED, they are claiming supernatural abilities. It's all deception!!! They claim to have special powers which have been verified; yet they make a disclaimer that it's just for entertainment. And they're making lots of money by doing it. Such deception should be illegal. Deception has become epidemic in America. Hardly a television commercial flashes by without having a bunch of fine print at the bottom of the screen. That fine print legally protects advertisers from lying.
Shady outfits
advertise low prices, but then the fine print tells the truth that you're
going to pay much more than you initially had thought. TV infomercials
that guarantee you'll lose weight by buying their product, deceive, saying
in the fine print that the results are not typical. Deception is a form of
lying because it's indirect and shady. Americans are some of the shadiest
people on earth, and some of the most honest, depending on the individual.
The farther that the pendulum swings one direction, the farther it swings
the other. We have some of the best and the worst people in the world
living in America.
The Shady Nature Of Fine Print
Unfortunately, some of the most shady people are using television to take advantage of others. Many people will lie, cheat and connive in order to swindle money from others. Most people who are thieves have some sick form of twisting rationalization to justify their evil greed. Anything that misleads people is sinful, evil and wrong. Psychic Source claims the professional ability, gift and power to help people with their problems, while using a disclaimer to say it's just entertainment. Many of the people calling in don't think it's entertainment. The shady natural of advertising with fine print is that the human ears and eyes believe what they hear and see. Since the fine print is so small that you can't see it without walking up close to the television screen, and also because the fine print only appears for a few seconds and then disappears, it is shady advertising. It's amazing that so many unethical and shady things are perfectly legal in the United States, while horrible crimes like abortion is legal.
You can bet that they're making big bucks if they've
been in business for 20-years and are likely spending millions-of-dollars
to advertise on television. I don't know how much money they're making,
but I remember the infamous Miss Cleo many years ago who was making
$100,000,000 a year!!! They wouldn't be spending millions of dollars for
TV ads if they weren't making a lot more in profits. 1st Timothy 6:10 says
that the LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil, and that includes the
Psychic Source.
Psychic Readings Are Of The Devil
Unsaved people, Christ-rejecters, are spiritually DEAD and do not have God's Spirit indwelling them. The day that Adam and Eve sinned, they died spiritually. That spiritual death has been passed down from each generation to another (Romans 5:12). That's why we must be born-again to enter into the Kingdom of God (John 3:5-7). Ephesians 2:2 speaks of the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. This Scripture passage refers to every unsaved person, in whom the prince of the power of the air, Satan resides and works. Thus, everyone is either a child of God with the Holy Spirit living in their body; or else they are a child of the Devil with a dead spirit, which is vulnerable to the Devil's influence. As Christians, we have the Spirit of God in us, Whom John 16:13 says will GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH. The Holy Spirit guides us with the inspired Words of God.
The Bible warns about walking in the counsel (advice) of the ungodly. Psalms 1:1-2, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psychic Source is the way of the ungodly. It appears that the business is composed of individual psychics advertising through the website, because they each have their own pricing listed below their name.
It is shameful what they are
doing in my opinion, that is, taking advantage of suffering, lonely,
heartbroken and afflicted people. They know that many people are lonely
and don't have anybody to talk with. Tens-of-thousands if not millions of
people call psychic hotlines and greedy televangelists seeking help, hope
and healing. Many people just want someone to know that they are hurting.
No doubt, many people would sing praises to psychics for their advice, but
it's ungodly advice since it's not centered upon the Word of God. From
what I've read online, most of the callers are women.
Psychics Are A Form Of Witchcraft
Most people call psychics to ask about love and relationships. Others call to inquire about their professional career. Many people sincerely believe and trust that psychics have special gifts and abilities to know the future, or if that boyfriend really loves his girlfriend, et cetera. It is sinful to seek knowledge and advice from unsaved people who don't believe the Bible. Secular wisdom is based upon humanism, which elevates man's will above God's Word. All I hear from feminist women these days is to live to make yourself happy, build your own career, think independent, et cetera. The Bible teaches us to live for OTHERS (Philippians 2:4-5, 20-21). The two greatest commands in the Bible are really just one... to LOVE! Love God and love thy neighbor (Mark 12:30-31).
Everything about psychics, clairvoyants (power
to perceive things that are not present to the senses), necromancers
(communicating with the dead), Tarot Card readers, astrology (basing
decisions upon the alignment of the stars), and other forms of witchcraft
is satanic. The Word of God (preserved in our beloved King James Bible in
English) gives us all the knowledge, guidance and advice that we need to
make it through life. Most people hate and avoid the Bible simply because
they love their sins and don't want the light of God's righteousness.
John 3:20, “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” Many
people would rather seek advice from a heathen psychic who charges them
money, than to search the free holy Scriptures given to us by a loving God
Who truly cares about us. 1st Peter 5:7 says that God CARES about us. The
Lord doesn't charge us for the free gift of eternal life (Ephesians
2:8-9). God doesn't charge us to study the Bible and learn precious,
life-changing, truths.
John 5:39... SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!
People call psychics to satisfy their selfish desires, trying to outwit God's Word. The Bible gives us the facts, laid out in black and white. The power that created the universe (God's power) abides in the PROMISES of God throughout the Bible. If you meet the condition, then God is obligated to keep His promise. It is exciting to read and study the Bible knowing that it's NOT FOR ENTERTAINMENT!!! Why would you spend money to call some loser psychic, when you can read and claim the promises of God's Word totally for free? John 5:38-40, “And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” Isn't that beautiful... SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!!! Forget that psychic hotline!!! God has spoken to us in these last days through His Son in the Scriptures (Hebrews 1:2; John 1:1-2).
Either sin will keep us from the Bible, or the Bible will keep us from sin. There's nothing more wonderful than to abide in the Scriptures, as a Christian who's right with God, knowing that God's face (blessing) is toward us. Nothing can ever be right in life with God until a person gets saved. You get saved by playing your faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (the gospel). Our faith plus the gospel equals eternal life (1st Corinthians 15:1-4; Hebrews 4:2). God wants every person to be saved (2nd Peter 3:9). Satan is the god of this evil world (2nd Corinthians 4:4). As such, the Devil blinds men's minds with worldly philosophies, evolution, secular principles, humanism, psychology, same-sex marriage, cosmos cosmology, feminism, new age, spiritualism, false religion, et cetera. The Bible is brutally honest, hiding nothing. Jesus said that He “spake openly to the world” (John 18:20). God has nothing to hide. The truth needs no defense. But lies have to be covered with more lies.
Satan deceives the public through occult (secret) organizations like Freemasonry. Satan lies to people, deceiving them with false religion. The Bible says that Satan blinds the MIND (2nd Corinthians 4:4), but the Bible says in Romans 10:9-10 that God saves those who believe in their HEART that God raised-up Jesus from the dead after three days. Salvation is of the HEART.
The Bible claims to have the power to pierce even between a man's soul and spirit, discerning between the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” No other book in the world can make such bold claims.
I'm not an eloquent writer, but I use what talents God has given to me to honor the Lord Jesus Christ. Psychics are of the Devil. The Bible warns against consulting with witches, the dead (necromancy), astrologers, palm readers, soothsayers and horoscopes. You'd be surprised how many tens-of-millions of people make major life's decisions based upon the alignment of the stars, the month they were born (Zodiac signs) and other demonic practices. The Bible ought to be our final authority in all matters of life and faith. I feel sorry for someone who grew up without learning the Words of God, having their mind darkened from the truth of God's Word.
Thankfully, just so long as you're still alive here on earth, it's never too late to begin seeking after God and the truth. And fortunately you don't have to search any further than the King James Bible to find the truth. John 17:14-17, “I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
Avoid Psychics
Forget the psychic and search the Scriptures. I'd 10,000 times rather listen to some good ole Bible-preaching than to seek advice from a Godless psychic. They may profess faith in some god, but it's not the holy God of the Bible. The Holy Spirit NEVER leads anyone contrary to the written Words of God. God gave us the Bible as a Lamp unto our feet (Psalms 119:105), to light our path through this dark world of sin everywhere we turn. Even Jesus Christ Himself quoted the Bible to defeat and drive away the Devil from tempting Him in Matthew 4:9-10. Even the Lord used the Word to fight Satan, then so should we!!! The greatest power in this universe is the Word of God. Any spiritual power that psychics may possess is from the Devil, not God.
God's way for us to deal with life's problems is found in the Bible. I could quote you hundreds of Bible passages that tell us how to live and cope with life's problems. Philippians 4:6-7 teach us to pray, placing our burdens into the Lord's hands. Colossians 3:1-3 teaches us to set our affections on things above in Heaven, where the Lord is now seated in power on the Father's right-hand. One of my favorite Bible passages is found in 2nd Corinthians 10:5, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” Our mind should continually be in a state of submission to the Lord and His Word. Any thought that enters our mind that is contrary to the Bible is wrong. We should arrest that thought and force it into submission to Christ.
For example: If a hateful thought enters your mind. Then we should think, “No, God wants me to love and pray for my enemies. Lord, I pray for this person. Please help me to love others.” The wicked world doesn't care about pleasing God. I speak to Christians here. If you have never been saved, then you'll never be able to live right until you do get saved. We all need HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS to enter into the Kingdom of God. Ye must be born again! (John 3:5-7). 2nd Corinthians 10:5 is much more than mere mind-control; but rather, it is walking in the Spirit as a Christian believer. You have to be saved to have the Holy Spirit in you (Romans 8:9; 1st Corinthians 3:17-18).
Unsaved people are the ones going to Psychic Source, because they don't know any better. But now you do! Psychics derive their power from Satan, if they have any power at all. God was angry with king Saul for seeking counsel from the ungodly witch of Endor in the Old Testament. It is NEVER proper, nor acceptable to God, to seek advice from psychics. There are no good witches. Horoscopes are not innocent fun. Ouija Boards are spiritually dangerous, leading people to believe in their power, forsaking the Bible. There is a physical place called Hell that burns with real fire. This is what the Bible teaches (Revelation 20:11-15; 2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9). Whether you believe that Hell exists doesn't make it go away. Conan thinks it's a big joke. Do you? The Bible wasn't authored by men, but by God. The very means in which the Bible came into man's possession is abundant proof of its divine nature.
I encourage you, whoever you may be, to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES as Jesus commanded in John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
