    I'm interested in Oracle cards ever since my friend introduced them to me. She talks about the Angels and while I don't necessarily believe in the Angels part of it. I look at it as consulting him. I always hear people say they pray to him asking for a sign and in my opinion the Oracle cards can do just that. I think of it as asking God a question and him answering me in the form of the card.
    That card is the sign. And they're usually vague, but they do help you to determine what to do about your situation because in the end the choice is always yours.
    I've also had past experiences with being visited by spirits in my dreams when I was younger. My grandfather had visited me after he passsed and told me that God had given me a precious gift and that he was watching over me and he was too. Then a few years later he appeared to me again in my dreams and told me he had watched over me as long as he could. Then he walked away and met with a woman who was waiting for him. They both turned back and waved goodbye to me then they just disappeared. Later on when I woke up, I told my Grandma. She was scared because she is Catholic but she believed me. And I later found out that the woman was my Grandfather's mother whom I had never met.
    The gifts my grandfather mentioned to me, I believe are my intuition and the fact that I'm very empathic. They have saved my life a lot of times. For example, once I was on my way home and I lived in a rough neighborhood. I had a bad feeling but I ignored it. And the feeling just got worse. From the very beginning my intuition kept telling me that I shouldn't be there and that I had to get out of there. But I was dead tired and I just wanted to get home as quick as I could. So I kept walking and the feeling got worse and worse until it felt as if my head was pounding. At that point I stopped, because I knew that Gid was sending me a sign and telling me to listen. So I backtracked and decided to take the long way home. I kid you not, just as soon as I turned the corner and started walking down a different block there was a Drive-by shooting on the block I was just on. If I hadn't listened, and kept ignoring the message God was trying g to send me I would have died that day. I was so thankful and that day it really opened my eyes because I hadn't realized how skeptical I had still been about the "gifts" my dead grandfather had told me about.
    From that moment on I always listened to those feelings. It has saved me and my friends lives several times.
    I've also had some encounters with messages in my dreams but I don't necessarily trust those all too often because they could be negative influences.
    But needless to say, even though I'm Catholic (which is like most Christian of Christians in my opinion) I still think that this is alright. The priest is always talking about how our God is a loving God and that only God can pass judgements but at the same time Christians are so quick to pass judgements themselves. But I've opened up my heart and mind to God and he's never steered me wrong so I don't see why me using the Oracle cards as his voice would steer me wrong either.
    Anyway, sorry for the long comment and backstory you didn't ask for. I just thought it might help e plain my process of thinking.
    (Also, I'm not New Age. I don't even know what New Age is, but I've noticed a lot of people talking about it in Tarot v. Christianity videos. Not a lot of Oracle v. Christianity so I'm glad I found yours.)

      Chels, I think we are entitled to believe what we believe so long as it causes no harm to another. I shared my beliefs in the video, and I stand by them. I see Jesus as a radical expression of love. That is who he is to me and that is how I encounter him in my life. Thank you for sharing your story and commenting on this post. I really appreciate it.

    I absolutely love your beliefs and giving spirit. I’m a Christian and have struggled my whole life with spirituality and other ways of healing. I have felt judged and condemned myself for these things until recently. I too am an oracle reader and I as a mental health therapist and life coach I utilize whatever it is I can do to help others and give them hope. Oracle cards are not about us, it’s all about others. You’re an angel on this earth. WWJD. Thank you so much for this video.

    This is so beautiful and also rings true in my heart. I ask my decks to be purified in love and truth. I use my cards to learn how to live and move in greater alignment not to fortune tell. They have continuously moved me towards greater love. They also help me to see where I might be in ignorance. It's true that cards can be misused but I cannot believe they are inherently bad or evil. I feel the Holy Spirit speak to me through the cards and their guidance has yielded so many blessings in my life.

    Hi! Wow I really need to say how impressed I am with not only all of the information you gave but also with the poise with which you presented it....in your video as well as in the replies to some of the comments!
    I came across your video when I googled oracle cards and Christianity. I just recently started doing oracle readings on my channel and my mother is very concerned. She just wrote me a very long message concerning the use of divination and the energetics behind it. I feel the same way you do and very solid in my connection with the divine and also clear that using these cards is my way to help others at this time.
    However, even though I went to church and have read parts of the Bible I didn’t really have a lot of the information that you are referencing and super appreciate how in depth you go in with explaining things. You definitely have a new subscriber! I’m even going to send this video to my mother in hopes that she can reconsider her feelings.
    At the same time, I believe everyone has to do what feels right for them so either way, I’m standing true to what I feel called to do and how I feel guided by God. Thank you again for the light you shine in the world and the information you are spreading… It’s very beautiful and appreciated. 🙏💗

      Thank you so much for your kind words and comments. I really appreciate them so much. I'm so happy that what I've shared here has served you. I can definitely say that much of what I've discovered was never taught to me in church, but it's there plain as day in the Bible we all read. My teachers are the ones that inspired me to dig deeper to find in the Bible what I already knew was true in my heart.
      I can definitely say that my mom was concerned when I told her I was reading cards, but when I told her how much I connected with God and when she witnessed the change in me and how I viewed everything as sacred, she was able to support me even though it's not something she ever would have chosen for me to do. Now, that she has transitioned to non-physical, she's come to me in ways that I would have never expected her to but because she knew and now knows even more how I see the Divine in all. She can visit me and send me messages that others might miss. She is still supporting me from the other side. Still, I agree with you, there is no need to convince or push anyone to feel as you do. The best evidence is seeing the change in you. Thanks for subscribing. This is motivating me to get some more content up soon. Thanks again.

    I am concerned that it may be a sin ? Can someone clarify me if I will commit any sin if I read it to myself ?

    • @tracijackson7111
      @tracijackson7111  3 роки тому +3

      Sin simply means missing the mark. I use Oracle Cards to hear from God. I don't see that as a sin because I'm connecting to what God wants me to hear, messages of love. You are the authority on you. You determine if you see your use of cards as sin.

    Thank you for this video! I am a seeker and a Christian and just bought my first oracle cards. Most people in my life would FLIP if they knew I had them. I see them as something that helps me to learn more about myself. I do NOT use them for any type of fortune telling yet trying to convince the other Christians in my life of this is a fruitless effort to be sure. I am 57 years old and though I have been a Christian for 50 of those years I am just now at this season in my life learning how to love myself. I have had it backwards my entire life: I have always loved others way way more than I have even come close to loving myself. With love being the greatest commandment of Jesus then how in the world can anyone tell me the oracle card approach is evil? 🌻

      @tracijackson7111  4 роки тому +3

Thanks so much for commenting.

    Be very very careful with this Oracle cards are basically OMENS! The truth is in the Bible, the Bible expressly forbids divination of any kind: “Let no one be found among you who . . . interprets omens. . . . Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).

    • @tracijackson7111
      @tracijackson7111  4 роки тому +4

      Please see reply above. I respectfully disagree. God doesn't give us the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. God is Love! Love is all encompassing i.e. expansive not contracting or restrictive.

    Hello, I am a former Tarot and Oracle reader. Jesus presented himself to me and I don’t think Tarot readings should be a part of me anymore. I do believe Oracle cards could be seen in a loving/different light. I noticed that Doreen no longer works with Angel cards. How do you feel about her new change?

    • @tracijackson7111
      @tracijackson7111  4 роки тому +2

      And that's your choice and right, Ashley. I advocate following your heart above all else and this is what my heart has led me to do. God didn't give us the spirit of fear, so why would I operate in fear by not following where love guides me?
      As for Doreen, I wish her nothing but love. She is how I came upon oracle cards to start and I still utilize her decks, which were crafted in a loving and healing energy. Every person has their own path to take and obviously, Doreen made a major change in hers, which is her right to do. As I say I wish her love. I remember what it was like to operate in fear, and I now choose to operate in love instead just as Jesus did.

    Traci - The Bible is pretty clear about this. I would suggest you consult with a Pastor before continuing to use these Oracle cards and influence others. The Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge. Do not reject Gods Word. Instead of seeking cards for guidance seek Gods Word, Pray, seek the Holy Spirit. Seriously, consult with church leaders. God bless you.

    • @tracijackson7111
      @tracijackson7111  2 роки тому +1

      My church leaders asked me to pull them a card because they too recognize they are only conveying messages of love and since God is love, they are good with them. Thanks for your concern but if you looked at the other comments, you know that there are plenty of people in the Bible who used things other than God's Word to guide them, namely, David, Moses and Jesus. Jesus said the same that i do ye shall also do even greater works ye shall do. Why am I limited to getting guidance from a book written by man when Jesus received wisdom from all of creation because God is in everything. Be blessed.

    Tru story I was in a horrible abusive relationship. I was always into zodiac signs but one day I looked up Gemini tarot it explained everything i was feeling, what was going on in my life at the moment and advice on getting out of that situation.... to the point it help me... I decided to become a Oracle reader 🔮 for years ppl always told me I had really good intuition so I said, I want to to strengthen my intuition and help people and bring them clarity as well... but it’s still apart of me feel what I am doing is wrong 🤦🏽‍♀️ and that’s tears me up in the inside....

      It sounds like you had a beautiful experience with astrology and reading. I'm sorry to hear that you feel what you are doing is wrong. I know I struggled with feeling that way early on in my journey, but Jesus directed me to his Great Commandments - love the Lord with all your heart, mind and spirit and love your neighbor as yourself. For me, using cards is my way of both showing my love for God as I'm speaking to him every day and loving my neighbor because I'm becoming a more loving individual who is able to spread that love on to others.

    Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own minds.
    Leviticus 19:26-31
    ‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor practice divination or soothsaying.
    Deuteronomy 18:9-14
    “When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.

      There are several individuals practicing divination in the Bible, namely Joseph, Aaron and the Levites and Jesus to name a few. God is Love and the message I'm receiving from the cards is one of Love not fear. They are encouraging me to get closer to God not further away, so I respectfully disagree with what you've shared here. Also, Leviticus tells us not to eat swine, but I know plenty of Christians who do. There is no false vision in what I'm receiving with the cards. In fact, the vision is more fully aligned with what God promised in John 10:10 - The thief comes to kill and destroy; I came that they might have life and live it to full. I'm finally experiencing the full life God promised not a life living in fear. Jesus was a radical who challenged the social order of the day and several of the verses in the Old Testament, so why would you think he would agree with more restrictions when he was challenging the minds of his time to free of them? I understand my message is too much for some, and I'm not in the converting business. I'm sharing what works for me on my page. You don't have to like it. That's your right and opinion, but as the Bible says, God didn't give me the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. Thanks for your perspective but I respectfully disagree, and I wish you well as you find someone on UA-cam who shares your vision of the world. I understand it's not me and that is fine. Have a good one.
