Step Eleven and Spirit Guides
Are Spirit Guides good or bad?
“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscience contact with God as we understood Him. Praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”
If we meditate regularly we will progress spiritually and emotionally. Meditation is a way to get to know ourselves at a much deeper level. It also helps us improve our relationship with God. And if we keep it up we will most likely have visions, revelations, and enlightenment. There is also a good chance we will meet our fellowship in another realm (dimension).
Why do certain religious sects believe if you meditate and see your Spirit Guides then you are deceived by Satan. And that all guides are evil. Why wouldn’t God give us blessed entities to help us? Why is it so hard to believe in other good Spirits besides Jesus, God, Angels, Satan, and demons? The only thing I can figure out is closed mindedness, dogma, and teachings that have been passed from generations to generations which dictate Spirit guides are evil. But the Bible says even we will do miracle’s. Even Jesus said “the miracles I do you will do also and even more”.
John: 14:12
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the WORKS that I do he will do also; and GREATER WORKS than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”
The Jewish leaders told Jesus he was working for Satan when he cast out demons and this is what he said.
Mathew 12
“And knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?”
So if my Spirit Guides teach me the 12 Principles, Love, peace, and goodwill how is that evil? My counselor says that those who preach against Spirit Guides are just scared of us going to Hell. Well maybe.
Here’s a link to a more positive description of Spirit Guides.
Many Christians have been taught to fear Satan and to see him in every supernatural occurrence in life. For many religious folks it’s easier to believe a miracle of Satan than a miracle of God. Many Bible Christians don’t believe in the gifts of healing, tongues, deliverance, prophecies, or even resurrection, and reincarnation. To the dogmatic and fearful all miracles are of Satan or not at all. All this belief in spite of what the Bible says:
But here is their own Bible telling them of both good Spirits of God and bad spirits.
First John 4:1
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God;”
Hebrews Chapter 12 Is written about the difference between the old and new covenants. From the Ten Commandments and a story of punishment and sin to the gospel of Jesus and the precepts of Love. The law of Moses and the Ten commandments represented by Mount Sinai to the story of forgiveness and salvation represented by Mount Zion (Sion).
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
So what then is the Bible talking about when it mentions “Spirits of just men made perfect”? Many Christians do not realize that once we pass away we will still have jobs to do. Granted I suppose some people will just retire into a life of paradise and complacency…but I doubt that everyone will; otherwise how would The Kingdom of God progress lest we do a little more work? Being a Spirit Guide to a struggling human could be a job many of us would be quite good at.
