In recent years, there has been a growing fascination with angels, and unfortunately, some have sought to make contact with them through so-called “angel mediums.” These individuals claim to have the ability to communicate with angels, deliver messages, and even provide guidance for life’s struggles.

To those who have been drawn into this practice, we desire to address this issue with kindness and love. We understand that many who seek angelic guidance are doing so out of a sincere desire to connect with the spiritual realm, to find comfort, and to receive wisdom. However, as Christians, we must always examine such practices in the light of God’s Word. And when we do, we find that Scripture gives us clear warnings about seeking supernatural contact outside of God’s prescribed means.

God’s Design for Angelic Ministry

Angels are real. They are created beings who serve God and do His will (Psalm 103:20). Throughout the Bible, we see angels acting as messengers, protectors, and servants of the Lord. They appear to individuals at specific times for God’s purposes—whether to announce the birth of Christ (Luke 1:26-38), to protect God’s people (Psalm 91:11), or to bring judgment (Revelation 8:6-13). But at no point does Scripture instruct us to seek out angels or attempt to contact them. The role of angels is not to be spiritual guides at our beck and call but to serve God according to His will.

In Colossians 2:18, Paul warns against an unhealthy preoccupation with angels:

"Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind."

While angel worship is condemned, so is an undue fascination with them. Seeking direct contact with angels through a medium falls into this category of misplaced spiritual interest.

The Danger of Spiritual Deception

One of the greatest dangers in seeking angels through a medium is the potential for deception. The Bible tells us that Satan himself can appear as an "angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). If the devil and his demons can masquerade as holy messengers, then how can we trust that an angel medium is truly speaking to a godly angel? The answer is, we cannot.

1 John 4:1 gives us a clear instruction:

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

Angel mediums operate outside of God’s revealed Word and rely on mystical experiences rather than biblical truth. This opens the door to demonic influence, leading people away from the gospel and into spiritual confusion.

Forbidden Practices

The Bible is clear that seeking supernatural contact apart from God’s ordained means is forbidden. In Deuteronomy 18:10-12, God explicitly warns against engaging with spirits through mediums or necromancers:

"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD."

While some might argue that they are only trying to reach holy angels and not the dead, the principle remains the same. Seeking spiritual insight through any means other than God’s Word and prayer is a dangerous path.

Christ Is Our Only Mediator

The greatest reason why Christians should reject angel mediums is that God has already provided us with the only Mediator we need—Jesus Christ. 1 Timothy 2:5 tells us:

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."

We do not need angels to speak on our behalf, guide our lives, or give us special messages. God has already spoken to us through His Word (Hebrews 1:1-2), and He has given us the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth (John 16:13).

If you are a Christian who has been involved with angel mediums, we urge you to turn back to Christ and His Word. God loves you, and His truth is sufficient to guide you. Seek Him in prayer, study the Scriptures, and rest in the knowledge that He alone is our source of wisdom, comfort, and strength.
