Answer 1

The Native Americans believe that crystals and stones possess certain powers in them - to heal, to divine and to protect are only a few things these powers can be used for. Just holding a powerful stone in your hand, you can feel the vibrations of it's energy, and know that they truly hold something we can barely understand, yet greatly believe in.

Every stone is said to have different metaphysical abilities to heal you physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. They are even said to bestow upon their owner luck, prosperity, love, strength, courage, and many other things.

Here is a list of biblical references to stones from biblegateway.com:

As far as numbers are concerned -- a lot of cultures believe in the sacredness of numbers, but I can't seem to find anything about them in the bible. :-) Here is a site about numerology which is the study of numbers towards describing someone's personality based on their date of birth. It borders to astrology, so if your offended by it you don't have to check it out. :-)

Answer 2

You need to seek God to find out why your hard work isn't paying off, not charms or stones.

There's plenty in the bible about looking to things other than God for answers. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says a lot.

"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or one who interprets omens, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee."

Answer 3

I guess objects have the importance you place on them. I dont think a coin or else would give you what you want, how about you pursuing this benefits yourself instead of waiting for an object or god (who has nothing to do with human affairs) to give it to you.

Answer 4

The Bible calls using these things witchcraft. It says don't consult with the dead, use oracles, or various "magical" things or even be around people that practice magic or divination.

Answer 5

There is no such thing as "Luck". If something good has happened to you be happy but know that luck did not have anything to do with making things happen.

Answer 6

Right......get some truth

Answer 7

wooooooooooooo we're half way there
wooo wooooo living on a prayer

Answer 8

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Which means that you should not be putting your trust in faith in other things, but you should be putting your trust and faith in Him.

Answer 9

"Luck" is not biblical. It's superstition.

Answer 10

It is all witchcraft.
