John 8:42-45 KJV
42 Jesus said unto them (the scribes
and Pharisees verse 3), If God were your Father, ye would love Me:
for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself,
but He sent Me.
43 Why do ye not understand My
speech? even because ye cannot hear My word.
44 Ye are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and abode not in The Truth, because
there is no Truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his
own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you The Truth,
ye believe me not.
Psalm 17:4 KJV
"...by the word of thy lips I
have kept me from the paths of the destroyer."

Satan will lie and
say “you need to channel for my guides to help you, and teach you
great things!”
A lie, Satan's
guides are his demons from hell.
No one, has seen
their channeling guide, for if they could, they would run for their
lives.
Channeling, is
noting new, but something old!

saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when
he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of
that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this
wicked generation.

his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of
righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

people of God:

thousand years,

pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive
the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and

ever.

the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with Truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness;

preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of
faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked.

and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
