Luke 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
We find many are fooled into believing that evil spirits are spirits of the dead. They communicate with them and try to find information concerning the past or future. Many a time the spirits do give right information; that does not mean it is them.
If one understands the various realms of creation called the Heavens, of which we too are a part, one will understand scriptures better.
There are some fundamental facts which one should get drilled into one’s mind. If a person dies, they either go to Hell or sleep in the Lord (called the grave/the sea, not to be mistaken as Purgatory, there is no Purgatory). Those who have rejected the Lord or whom the Lord rejected go to Hell, which is a prison, and they cannot come out. They are held there until their spirit live (which is in thousands of earthly years) and there they suffer the sins within them.
Those who are asleep are in a Cryogenic Sleep, and man is forbidden to communicate with them, nor are they able to do the same, but they are aware of what is happening. Saul was punished when he tried to wake and communicate with the spirit of the Prophet Samuel. When Jesus communicated with Moses and Elijah, He had to transfigure (take the form of a spirit being/Angel) so as not to sin.
Let us not be fooled into communicating with those dead or any spirit coming as the dead. Let us understand the Laws of God are not only for us but the Lord Himself abides in them.
[Prayer Starter]
Lord, You, are Almighty God. You, Lord, made all things in a design with purpose. We pray Lord we see the purpose in all that You created, including us who are made in Your Image. Lord we pray we do not be fooled by spirits/fallen angels due to our ignorance. Lord we pray we understand our task and do them, instead of awaiting for some else to do it, for we are to lose…
We make this prayer in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
[Reference Scriptures]
Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12
10 There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
1 Samuel 28:8-12, 15, 18-19
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me [him] up, whom I shall name unto thee.
9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, [As] the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou [art] Saul.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
19 Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow [shalt] thou and thy sons [be] with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
Matthew 17:1-3
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
