"The magicians of heathen times have their counterpart in the spiritualistic mediums, the clairvoyants, and the fortune-tellers of today. The mystic voices that spoke at Endor and at Ephesus are still by their lying words misleading the children of men. Could the veil be lifted from before our eyes, we should see evil angels employing all their arts to deceive and to destroy. Wherever an influence is exerted to cause men to forget God, there Satan is exercising his bewitching power. When men yield to his influence, ere they are aware the mind is bewildered and the soul polluted. The apostle's admonition to the Ephesian church should be heeded by the people of God today: “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Ephesians 5:11 . AA 290.2"
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
Ellen White directly references Ephesians 5:11 in this passage.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
While the specific verse quoted is Ephesians 5:11, the overall theme of spiritual deception and the presence of evil influences aligns with the warning in 1 Peter 5:8 about the devil seeking to devour. The EGW passage draws a parallel between historical occult practices and modern spiritualism, highlighting the ongoing threat of deception.
