Leviticus 19:31 says, “Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits do not seek after them, to be defiled by them.” Deuteronomy 18:11–12 says that those who consult with familiar spirits are an abomination to God. In the Bible, God warned His people repeatedly about the dangers of dabbling in the spirit world. Spirit guides represent a worldview that is diametrically opposed to what the Bible says. The Bible declares that God is truth, and Jesus Christ is the only way to a right relationship with Him. Spirit guides assert that truth is relative and there are many paths to God. The Bible says that man is inherently sinful, and no one is truly good. Spiritualism teaches that man is inherently good, with unlimited potential for power and advancement. According to the Bible, man’s purpose is to glorify God and be conformed to His image. Spirit guides are actually demonic spirits who masquerade as helpers in order to trap and destroy people with false teachings and occult practices.Īccording to spirit guides, man’s purpose is to be transformed through spiritual awareness, realize his inner divinity, and connect with the cosmos.

The term spirit guide is not always used, as they are also called “ascended masters” or “unseen helpers.” Automatic writing, dream states, hypnotism, and meditation are all practices related to spirit guides. Belief in spirit guides is commonly associated with New Age, pagan, and spiritualistic belief systems. The general idea is that there exist benevolent spirits who desire to help people or “guide” them through life.
Real spirit guides are wise, compassionate and often amusing.” “A true spirit guide is an evolved being who has agreed to support your spiritual evolution.
“A typical spirit guide is archetypical, symbolic or representative of something else.” “An ancestral guide is one who can claim some sort of kinship with you, such as your dear Aunt Tillie who died when you were ten.” “Some may be highly ascended masters (such as Jesus), and others might be your average spirit who just happens to be a master in a certain area.” “Spirit guides are incorporeal beings that are assigned to us before we are born that help nudge and guide us through life.” If you do an internet search for “spirit guides,” you get a variety of responses, including statements like these:
