Do Not believe in superstition nor superstitious beliefs. The notions of diwata-diwata, etc. Its rubbish, conjurous that bears no weight nor credibility but heresay. It is the manifest of a weak faith and a proliferative imagination.
If an individual can believe in spirits of waterfalls, fairies, mermaids, etc, why limit your faith to such privy council?
A saving faith, is not based on superstition, nor trees or materialistic aspect. A saving faith is based on the TOTAL TRUST in The Lord Jesus Christ. Who is the Salvation of All things, for those who trust and believe in Him, who cometh from The Father.
Superstition, and false beliefs of the like are animistic, idolatrous, and heathenous in its didacticum. It is the very antithesis of Christian Core Belief (either you be Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant).
God The Most High is in Control of All Things.
He is the Author, The Finisher of Things, The Justification, The Sustainer.
Fact.
For anyone who puts too much emphasis of superstitious BS, it takes the Glory from God The Most High. Which is, in totality with scripture and by the tradition of Christianity that has been taught through the ages---as not only blasphemous, but heathenous. It is similar to the arts of the pagans: Egyptians, Babylonians, Baalists, Sodomites, Gamorites etc.
Trust in Jesus Christ.
For all the Power and Authority is His.
These types of practices are extremely dangerous because they open the minds of the practitioners to the influence of the devil.
1 Peter 5:8 warns us to “be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.â€
We are told:“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authorityâ€
