"Prayer to a spirit being in heaven is, in every instance, prayer to a deity"

Along with not knowing what prayer is, you obviously do not understand what a spirit or a deity is. Please come back when you have acquired the necessary prerequisites for a discussion on these topics.

May God's angels watch over and protect you.

“Along with not knowing what prayer is,”


Your definitions simply do not exist in the scripture, and, therefore, they need not exist to me. When Christ declares that we are all Kings and Priests in His sight, and when He tells us to ask of Him freely and, believing, expect to receive, I am quite positive He means it. There’s hardly room, or even necessity, for another God to play mediator. We have our one Mediator, who is Christ, and we have our intercessor, who is the Holy Spirit.

Rom_8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

I’ll stick to what is known in the scripture, and not with any invented fables or corrupt definitions.
