Dr. Lakara Foster is a psychic medium. She is also a licensed minister at The Vision Church of Atlanta.
Foster, who claims she's able to speak to dead people, also has a YouTube series called, "The Gift", that follows her life as a medium, minister and spiritual teacher.
And who do you suppose she says gave her The Gift? You guessed it--God.
"Foster asked God why He gave her the ability to talk to the dead," reports CBN News. She believes God gave her a clear answer. http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2019/may/atlanta-church-hires-psychic-medium-to-minister-to-congregation
"God said, 'I promised My people eternal life, how will My people know that I've kept My promise if you don't demonstrate your gift?'" Foster said.
(H-m-m-m--does the word faith ring a bell?)
Foster earned a Doctorate of Ministry from the Interdenominational Theological Center and wrote her thesis on the biblical case for ministers who speak to the dead.
Foster wonders why the church doesn't consider conjuring up spirits a spiritual gift. We wonder if Foster has ever opened a Bible. For starters, Deuteronomy 18:9-12 says:
"When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or cast spells, or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord."
Leviticus 20:6 says,
"I will set My face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritualists to prostitute himself by following them. I will cut him off from his people."
Dr. Lakara Foster and those like her are a dark force trying to creep into our fellowship. They are counterfeits. Necromancy is condemned throughout scripture. Christian, if your "church" doesn't teach the Bible--run. It is a last days deception. 1 Timothy 4:1-2 warns:
"Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from what we believe; they will follow lying spirits and teachings that come from demons. These teachers are hypocrites and liars. They pretend to be religious, but their consciences are dead."
Don't be deceived. We can only know God to the degree that we know His Word; it is the vehicle He chose to reveal Himself to us.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1).
A wise man once said: "God has provided His Son, Jesus Christ, to be the Mediator between man and God (1 Timothy 2:5). With Jesus Christ as our Mediator, we can go through Jesus to God. Why would we want to go through a sinful dead individual, especially when doing so risks the wrath of God?" -- Got Questions.org
