Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. –Deuteronomy 18:10-11 (NIV)
When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord. –Numbers 12:6-8 (NIV)
In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. –Acts 2:17 (NIV)
These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. –Jesus in Mark 16:17-18 (NIV)
Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. –Luke 8:30 (NIV)
A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. –Acts 19:19 (NIV)
We know in part and we prophesy in part…two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. –1 Corinthians 13:9; 14:29 (NIV)
