Daniel Scranton Channeling The Creators: the Solstice, U.S. Presidential Election, Timelines & 2017 A Biblical Perspective on
ChannelingDemons are personal evil beings who camouflage themselves for hidden purposes. Their disguises range from promoting themselves as myth to the opposite extreme of promoting themselves as the ultimate reality, God Himself. And, indeed, the majority of people either believe that Satan does not exist or that psychic powers and contacts with spirits through channeling are actually divine practices and represent contact with God.
In the world today most people believe in the existence of evil, but few recognize the existence of the devil who accounts for great evil. To believe in endless lesser evils, but not in the evil one (Satan), who is responsible for far greater evil, is to not recognize a potentially great threat. If the devil can misdirect our attention through various forms of channeling and get us to think about our own self-interests so that we are not concerned with the state of our soul, the end result is the greatest threat any man or woman can face (Matt. 16:26; Luke 12:20).
The Bible warns us of the devil’s deceptions beginning in the Garden (2 Cor. 2:11; 11:3; Eph. 6:11). It reports that the devil lied to man in two ways. First, he told Adam and Eve, “You shall be as God.” Second, he promised them, “You shall not die.” Isn’t it interesting that the spirits have never deviated from their master’s first lies? The consistency and persistence of these themes throughout history are amazing. And ask yourself some additional questions: Why is it that channeled spirits who are usually considered “good,” promote what the Bible teaches is false? Why would good spirits identify themselves with the lies of the devil? Could it be that the reason these spirits have never changed their message is because they don’t have another message? And why is it that many former occultists reveal that the only way to escape from those spirits is through the Jesus Christ of the Bible?
Those who say the Bible has nothing to say about channeling may have never considered the following. The first historical incidence of channeling recorded in the Bible is in Genesis, chapter 3. In the Garden of Eden, the devil used the serpent as a “channel” to trick Eve (Gen. 3:15; 2 Cor. 11:3; Rev. 12:9). Through channeling, the devil deceived Eve into doubting God, with serious consequences. Channeling is thus condemned in the Bible as an evil practice before God (Deut. 18:9-12).
The Bible also warns that “in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Tim. 4:1). No one can deny that spiritistic teachings pervert the nature of God, lie about Christ, and distort the way of salvation. This explains why those who trust in spiritistic teachings to the end will face judgment at death. On the authority of Jesus Christ Himself, we discover that hell is real (Matt. 25:46; Luke 16:19-31). The demons who promise that sin is not real and that hell does not exist are bringing eternal ruin to those who trust them. Channeling is thus a form of spiritual warfare, with the souls of men at stake (2 Cor. 4:4).
This explains why both channeling and its teachings are condemned in Scripture as rebellion against God and as courting His judgment. An example of this is King Manasseh of Judah in ancient Israel. “He practiced witchcraft, used divination, practiced sorcery, and dealt with mediums, and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger” (2 Chron. 33:6 NASB). Likewise in Deuteronomy 18:1012, God warns His people, “There shall not be found among you anyone… who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft… or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is detestable to LORD.” The phrase “or spiritist”
condemns all aspects of channeling. https://www.jashow.org/articles/new-age/a-biblical-perspective-on-channeling/
