The God is the Spirit and Man has a Spirit but Man is Not a God
According to Christ Jesus, the God is spirit, and thus we have to pray to the God in our spirit.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4)
Christ Jesus made it clear that spirits exist, the spirit world, exits, the God exists, and there is a spirit in every human being.
Therefore, it is no wonder that men with near-death experiences saw part of the spirt world, and some people have spiritual power to see sprits, invoke spirits, or communicate with spirits of the deceased.
However, some psychologists claim that there are no scientific evidence that spirits and the afterlife exist. They also argue that the so-called spiritual phenomena reflect simply the human hopes and wishes that there is the afterlife and souls will continue to exist after bodily death in this world; the so-called spiritual experiences must be influences and effects of deep psyche.
Indeed, in this era with advance science and technology, we cannot still get scientific evidence of existence of souls, spirits, the spirit world, and even the existence of the God. However, even in this era with advance science and technology, Christianity and other religions are not likely to be abolished simply because religions are superstition generated when the level of the human civilization was low and the human culture was immature. Rather, the number of those who have reported near-death experiences and come to believe the existence of the spirit world is hundreds of thousands all over the world.
What's more, even the modern science can only tell that this whole universe or this world was generated from a type of energy called the vacuum energy and this energy might appear from naught. Science cannot deny the possibility or the hypothesis that energy from the spirit world generated the vacuum energy and this whole universe through naught. Science cannot deny the existence of the God. If it did, it should be like a child denying the existence of his or her parents.
And, if our human minds work humanly, it must be that there is a soul or a spirit in every human being. So, it is absurd that our minds deny the existence of our souls or spirits. It is as if a mad man tried to prove that there was no such a thing as life so that he believed that he was a dead man.
There must be a reason that there is the concept of the afterlife in any culture of human beings. The reason must be that it is true. In this context, we should believe the word and other words of Christ Jesus.
The God is the spirit. And, we have a spirit in each of ourselves, which however does not mean that everyone is a god; we are just human beings with spirits inside but we are not gods.
So, we must be cautious about men, even if they have some spiritual power, who claim that each of us is a god. Truly, it must be a blasphemy.

John 1, King James Version
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
