Counterfeit Spiritual Experiences: How Satan Leads People Away from Christ

What happens when a spiritually dangerous practice appears to provide physical healing or relief? In this Contending for the Word Q&A episode, Doreen Virtue explains how Satan uses counterfeit spiritual experiences to draw people away from Jesus Christ and the true gospel. Practices such as Reiki, qigong, shamanic healing, Christian Science, manifestation, and the law of attraction may promise healing or personal empowerment, but they direct people toward self-reliance and unbiblical sources of spiritual power. Doreen also considers why God does not always grant immediate physical healing and how the Lord may use suffering to produce greater dependence upon Him. Since Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light, Christians must prayerfully compare every spiritual claim, experience, and apparent miracle with the teaching of Scripture.
