Are Psychics, For-Prophets, and Fortune Tellers Real?

Disclamer: This is a highly opinionated post.

Often we go to parties, gatherings, and hang-outs and as a part of the event a fortune-teller or palmist is there to give you a reading in regards to your future..."for entertainment purposes only."

Then there are prophets or self proclaimed prophets, that for a donation or a fee, will give you a prophecy for your future.

I have encountered people who were able to predict (Guess) certain things that were going to happen before they happened. I truly believe the following:

1. Whatever you believe or think may happen, Proverbs 23:7
2. Whoever you surround yourself with greatly influences your future, Proverbs 13:20
3. Either we allow the Bible/Word of God/Holy Spirit to direct us or we allow seducing spirits to direct us. Psalm 119:105, 2 Corinthians 11:14
4. Your wasting money
5. It is an unhealthy habit: Think about it, it is unhealthy to trust your future in someone else's vision.
6. Discourages us from praying and putting our faith in God, Romans 10:11
7. We give up the good fight of faith, 1 Timothy 6:12

I do not believe that psychics or any such person who proclaims to be have any such power...I think we are always warring with spirits and need to always retreat to God when our future is cloudy and unclear. Ephesians 6:12
