know the Lord and read the Bible to know proper doctrine

and to test the spirits. Otherwise, we can easily be led astray.
The battle for the mind is real and strong. We are told to pray
to God, not to people who have passed on to the spiritual
realm.

And when they say to you, "Inquire of the
mediums and the necromancers who chirp and
mutter," should not a people inquire of their

God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf
of the living? To the teaching and to the

testimony! If they will not speak according to this
word, it is because they have no dawn. Isaiah
8:19-20 ESV [Emphasis Added]

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times

some will depart from the faith by devoting
themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of
demons, through the insincerity of liars whose

consciences are seared, who forbid marriage
and require abstinence from foods that God

created to be received with thanksgiving by
those who believe and know the truth. For
everything created by God is good, and nothing is

to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
1 Timothy 4:1-5 ESV [Emphasis Added]
