Colossians 2:18,19 NLT
18 Don’t let anyone condemn you by
insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels,saying they
have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made
them proud,
19 and they are not connected to
Christ, The Head Of The Body. For He holds the whole body together
with its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it.

the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 22:9 KJV
Then saith he (angel)
unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of
thy brethren the prophets, and of
them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
