Bibliomancy

 The Lord thundered out of heaven; the Most High uttered his voice.

He loosed his arrows and scattered them; he hurled thunderbolts and routed them.

The beds of the seas were uncovered, and the foundations of the world laid bare, at your battle cry, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils. 

He reached down from on high and grasped me; he drew me out of great waters. 

He delivered me from my strong enemies and from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me. 

They confronted me in the day of my disaster; but the lord was my support. 

Parable of the Kingdom

 "You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never percieve." For this peoples heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them." But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and you ears, for they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. "Hear then the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their heart. his is what was sown along the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of thew word, immediately he falls away. 

Bibliomancy

The Bible works good for practicing Bibliomancy.  I use it to comfort me when life is overwhelming. I ask a question in myself and pick up the Bible to see what it says. It tends to be spot on. I use a small bible that can be held. So I have two Bibles. A huge heavy beautiful one that is illustrated and a small leather bound one. I ask a question in my mind and pick up the Bible and flip through it and where my hand lands and my finger touches I read the passage and apply it to the here and now. The words are old and have real power. Sometimes the words are outdated and don't work and other times they will never be outdated. Because there will always be evil men who do evil things to others. 

Psalm 140
Prayer for Deliverance from Evil Men
Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who plan evil things in their hearts;
They continually gather together for war.
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
The poison of asps is under their lips.

Keep me from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men.
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble,
The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me.

I said to the high power; You are my God,
Hear the voice of my supplications.
God, the higher power, the strength of my salvation.
You have covered my head in the day of battle.
Do not grant the desires of the wicked.
Do not further his wicked scheme,
Lest they be exalted.

"As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the evil of their lips cover them;
Let them be cast in to fire,
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Let not a slanderer be established in the earth,
Let evil hunt the violet man to overthrow him."

I know that the higher power for good will maintain 
The cause of the afflicted,
and justice for the poor.
Surely, the righteous shall give thanks
and the upright shall dwell in your presence.
