Magic and spiritual gifts

God's works are different from magic. While one is divine and spontaneous, the other requires practice and skill.

Someone who knows magic can draw followers through his works because people are drawn to someone who can do what they can't do themselves. It is like a siren call that hypnotizes others to believe and follow without really thinking if the person is worth following.

Here's the message for May 29, 2011.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magic is swiftness of the hands, the creation of an illusion. It is not My gift, but perfected art.

You should learn to differentiate My gift from human mastery of mind and skills. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to people who have opened their minds and their hearts to Me.

These gifts require special care and extra responsibility. Being the bearer or recipient of My gifts should make you more humble and simple than most because I don't like you to be boastful of something that I entrusted to you.

Do not misuse My gifts for your own gain. Use it wisely to help people who are sick or in need. You will be held accountable for the use of the gifts given to you. Use it well.
