Does magic come from God

Answer 1

Matthew 19

3 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

Here is the account of the Witch of Endor

Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.

4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.

5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.

6 And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.

8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.

9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

10 And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.

11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.

12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.

13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.

15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.

16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?

17 And the Lord hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:

18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day.

19 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the Lord also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.

22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.

23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.

24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:

25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.

Define magic. The magic that conjurers use is really only sleight of hand, something that anyone can learn.

The magic of religion can be explained by chance - in fact the ancient Greeks attributed events to the gods of Chance or Providence. In modern times, we can attribute apparently miraculous events to chance or to God, depending on the strength of our faith.

Answer 3

First off, there is no infinite god personality. The whole infinite god personality paradigm is furthered by collectives of inferior spirits who wish to be worshiped as "GOD." These power and empower traditional religions. Any true lesser god or true Space God personality (like the latter who orchestrated The Big Bang and who has yet to come) does not need or desire to be worshiped.

With all evolution being developmental, the only thing that can be considered infinite or endless is the non-living higher power on the Other Side that judges all after bodily death. Many refer to this higher power as The Light. Like gravity and electromagnetism, it operates independently. The more spiritually advanced the soul, the greater the ability to ascend or expand in The Light when free of matter. The higher the dimension, the brighter it is and the more powerful the level of energy.

Most spirits or discarnates are not spiritually advanced. If they were, then we would see objects hovering and materializing around us all of the time. So what most spirits like to do is combine their consciousness in The Light with others of like mind and value system. This is how in parapsychology the word "poltergeist" came about - which is really just another term for a Group Entity or astral gestalt. One does not have to be advanced to do this. In the well-known seventh plane paradigm found around the world in various religions and philosophies - like Hinduism, Catholicism, Islam, and the Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) - most of these astral gestalts are yellow-energy Group Entities on the fourth plane; which is also where all the religious heavens reside.

So, to answer your question directly: magic or magick generally comes from fourth plane yellow-energy Group Entities in The Light. To a lesser extent it comes from fifth plane violet-energy Group Entities in The Light. When you get up into the sixth and seventh planes, spirits there strive to be A Light Unto Oneself and are not interested in combining their consciousness with others. There are no Ascended Masters yet on the eighth plane or higher, which is why major miracles of healing and telekinesis have yet to happen. However, that is in the works and has been for many years.

The traditional approach to having a telekinetic Gift of the Spirit is that, prior to birth, one is a member of a Group Entity that was voted into becoming their incarnate prophet; to slowly have one's gifts actualized as a child. This means that traditional Gifts of the Spirit are really more of a political achievement than an indication of being highly evolved. Paramahansa Yogananda mirrored this view. He knew a man who could manifest flowers and said that that was not an indication of spiritual attainment. Same idea.

Do not be impressed with Gifts of the Spirit. Instead, be impressed with their constructive application. In the not too distant future, lesser gods will emerge that will have more powerful Gifts of the Spirit than Jesus/Issa or Sai Baba had. And the miracles of healing and telekinesis of The Original Creator/Lord Alpha Omega will surpass all of them - like healing millions of people at once. The kind of rarefied magic and selfless, practical application that is truly admirable.

Actual magic (as opposed to simple use of chemistry, prestidigitation, legerdemain, etc.), is said to have been effective only in ancient times. Although its ability to effect results ultimately came from God, it was (and is) forbidden (Deuteronomy ch.18) because its practitioners invariably ascribed it to idols or demons.
