Engaging in activities that seek to communicate with spirits is warned against in Scripture. In Leviticus, the Israelites are commanded not to turn to mediums or spiritists, while in Matthew, Jesus teaches that unclean spirits can return to a person if their heart is not filled with the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul writes in Ephesians about the spiritual forces of darkness that believers must contend with, and in 2 Corinthians, he warns of Satan's ability to disguise himself as an angel of light. Additionally, John notes that Jesus was marked by the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the importance of seeking spiritual guidance from God alone.
