#211 The Trouble with Demons: Are Mediums Really Talking to Evil Spirits?

Are mediums really communicating with deceased people, or could they actually be talking to demons?

That is one of the most common objections I receive whenever I share experiences involving spirit communication and my medium friend RM. And it is a fair question, especially for Christians who know that the Bible contains serious warnings about mediums, consulting the dead, and deceptive spirits.

In this episode, I go directly to Scripture and examine five questions about mediums, demons, the dead, and spiritual discernment.

The Old Testament clearly prohibits consulting mediums. The New Testament also warns about spiritual deception. But does the Bible actually say that every spirit identifying itself as a deceased person must therefore be a demon?

I also look at some fascinating biblical examples, including Saul and the Medium of Endor, Samuel, Moses at the Transfiguration, deceptive spirits, and the New Testament instruction to “test the spirits.”

I’m not asking you to blindly accept mediumship or spirit communication. I’m asking whether the evidence and Scripture deserve a closer examination before we automatically label every unexplained spiritual experience as demonic.
