One of the devil's key tactics is to masquerade as "an angel of light" or a servant of righteousness.
Scripture states clearly that "Satan disguises himself as an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14);
that is, that he and his demons can imitate a good spirit or entity merely to suit their own evil purposes. Is it then logical or wise for those who contact the spirits to uncritically accept the
spirits claims to be divine entities, or to believe them when they claim that their true motives are to help humanity spiritually?
