Satan is a deciever and seeks to pervert everything of God.
Keep in mind that Satan has a false, perverted version of most every work of the Holy Spirit.
Examples include: the laying on of hands is biblical and for today, however false religeons such as Reiki also use laying of hands to impart a demon spirit that imparts false healing.
Now, just because Satan has a falsified version of it does not mean that all healing or laying of hands is "of the devil" -- it is just doubly important that you know and follow the Bible when it comes to these things and not get duped into the wrong thing.
As I have said before, Satan's parlor tricks and false spirituality is a very pale and poor substitute to what we can experience through a rich and biblical relationship with the Holy Spirit.
It is sad thing that so many folks choose to settle for less than the best that God has in store for us.
On one hand you have folks who say that the work of the Holy Spirit ceased in the time of the Apostles. They live a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof.
Many who grow up in that environment have a rightful hunger for spirituality, but think they can't get it from the Bible -- so, they make easy converts to forms of false spirituality.
On the other hand, you have folks who seek nothing but spirituality and spiritual signs and experiences without a grounding in the Bible. They too can be duped by money hungry false teachers (2Peter 2:1-3)
When we study the Bible and cultivate a relationship with God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit there is more than enough true spirituality to go around.
