Slides accompanying a sermon series concerning the practice of Astrology

1. Astrology
WhAt your
horoscope
doesn’t
tell you

2. “And they said, Go
to, let us build us a
city and a tower,
whose top ________
unto heaven; and
let us make us a
name, lest we be
scattered abroad
upon the face of
the whole earth.”
-- Genesis 11:4

3. “The science of finding intelligible meaning in
the movement and nature of heavenly bodies
in relation to people and events on earth.”
How could planets and other celestial bodies
Millions of miles from us affect who we are,
what we’re supposed to do, and what lies
ahead in our futures?!
Common Definition of
Astrology:
Science?! Really?!

4. “A religious belief system involving the idea
that various gods represented by celestial
bodies are assigned control over different
parts of human anatomy in addition to the
activity and personality of every person.”
Astrology has nothing to do with the sun,
moon, planets and stars. The devil and his
forces are the powers behind it.
True Definition of
Astrology:
Astrology Is Idolatry!

5. “There shall not be
found among you
any one that maketh
his son or his daugh-
ter to pass through
the fire, or that
useth divination, or
an observer of
times…”
-- Deut. 18:10
The Bible Condemns Astrology
“…Let now the
astrologers, the
stargazers, the
monthly prognosti-
cators, stand up,
and save thee from
these things that
shall come upon
thee.”
-- Isa. 47:13-14

6. Why People Get Into
Astrology:
THE “BAIT”
1. It can be exciting, intriguing and fun.
2. It is an amoral & “restriction free” religion.
3. It promises to reveal more about people and
what makes them tick.
4. It claims the ability to predict one’s future.
5. It has millions of devotees who say it works.

7. “And there appeared another wonder in
heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns
upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part
of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to
the earth…” – Rev. 12:3-4a
Astrology has nothing to do with celestial
bodies, but it has everything to do with fallen
angels, which the Bible identifies as “stars.”
The Powers Behind the
Power of Astrology:

8. “Be sober, be vigilant; be-
cause your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walk-
eth about, seeking whom he
may devour: Whom resist
stedfast in the faith…”
-- I Peter 5:8-9a
Can Fallen Angels Influence Us?
“Submit yourselves therefore
to God. Resist the devil, and
he will flee from you.”
-- James 4:7
If the devil and his
demons couldn’t
have any influ-
ence on us, then
there would be no
need to resist
them, nor to put
on the whole
armor of God.
