SPIRITISM AND  YOUR MENTAL HEALTH 

By Michael Benson Ajayi 

 I was awakened by the knock on my door by 3 am from a mentally unstable woman seeking for help. I found out she had attended a religious institution where she was told to always pray at night with one eye opened in order to attain a level of spirituality,. She did as she was told and had a mental breakdown. At about the same period I was informed that a second woman who attended the same institution had a similar mental condition. 

  I engaged a psychiatrist and both were restored with prayers and proper teaching on prayers. Our streets are dotted with persons suffering from mental illnesses as a result of Spiritism. More people are sleeping less as a result of midnight prayers and destroy their brains in the process . God wants us to have a good night's rest .

    Spiritism, which involves communication with spirits and belief in reincarnation, can lead to spiritual and mental harm, often contributing to increased mental instability. The Bible warns against engaging with occult practices, including spiritism, as it opens the door to dangerous spiritual influences. In Leviticus 19:31, the Lord commands, “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them.” This defilement includes not only spiritual damage but also psychological effects.

When individuals seek guidance from spirits rather than relying on God, they often experience confusion, fear, and anxiety. Isaiah 8:19 says, “When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God?” The focus on spirits instead of God can lead to delusions, paranoia, and irrational behavior.

By trusting in the supernatural rather than God's truth, people become more susceptible to mental disturbances. The Bible teaches that turning away from God leads to chaos in both mind and spirit. 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” Spiritism, by contrast, erodes mental clarity, promoting instability and fear.

  In our daily prayers seek for understanding of the gospel and deliverance of our loved ones from false prophets .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to be sound minded .
