• Or a still voice shares with us
• Angels can deliver messages

There is unfortunately a counterfeit that we should be aware of.
• Drugs, alcohol and/or perverse actions (sin) open portals to the dark supernatural world
• Rituals or abuse open the door to hear from false spirits.
• Muse inspires them instead of Holy Spirit
• Many books, movies, games and songs are created like this. It can influence people that read, watch, play or listen to this dark, sinful content.
• New age meditation or yoga
• Self-pity, trauma, continuous sadness, sad music or movies and broken hearts gives access to the demonic.
• This can lead to depression or suicide.
• Even some gospel music and prophecy have a wrong origin.
• Holy Spirit can make us uncomfortable with certain things, people or content even though we don’t always know what’s wrong with it - be obedient.
• Some prophets are accused of facebook research, but it is more likely a familiar spirit that feeds them information.
• Some of these people can even heal the sick and cast out demons.
Matthew 7:15-20 MEV
"Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. [16] You will know them by their fruit. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? [17] Even so, every good tree bears good fruit. But a corrupt tree bears evil fruit. [18] A good tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree bear good fruit. [19] Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. [20] Therefore, by their fruit you will know them.
Matthew 7:22-23 MEV
Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonderful works in Your name?' [23] But then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice evil.'
Luke 11:35 MEV
Take heed therefore lest the light which is in you is darkness.
