1 | TV Show "Crossing Over" - Dead Speaks? | Deut 18:11 | destinylady | 713 | ||
Read the entire text Deuteronomy 18:9-14. Be vary careful with anything like this. I read a book once by a Christian author that describes some of the ways that the occult (witchcraft)works. The purpose of this book was to inform Christians so they would not be ignorant to this type of stuff and fall ignorantly under demonic influence. This book indicated that there are demonic spirits called "familiar spirits" these spirits follow people around and observe them in their lives. Some men or women under the influence or by using these "familiar spirits" are able to speak in detail of a person's past. These are the same spirits that so called "psychics" operate through. They are able to with moderate accuracy predict what is going to occur in someone's life by seeing what they have done. Those who claim to be "communicating with the dead" are doing what called "necromansing" In the above text it actually says "one who calls up the dead" in the KJV this is referred to as "necromansing" Also read in the New Testament Luke 16:19-31 - it indicates that the dead cannot "come back" or communicate with the living. If this dead rich man could have simply communicated with his 5 brothers he so dearly wanted to warn - then he would have. Also check out the account in Acts 16:16-19 - this young girl was a soothsayer (psychic)and it describes that she was possed with a spirit of divination. This may shed some light for you also. Please be prayerful about what you allow into your mind through television, internet, etc. The devil doesn't always come with pointy ears, a fork and a red tail. If he did - no one would fall for him - he comes appealing to whatever seems logical or interesting to you. I pray that you are a Christian and that your walk with God would be strengthened. |

2 | recognizing loved ones in heaven | Rev 7:9 | destinylady | 711 | ||
My Pastor recently explored Rev. 7:9. John refers to a "great multitude" speaking of what he saw in heaven. He described the people as being "of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues" If John could describe that the people where of different nations and kindreds(families) and tongues (languages) then it may be conclusive to say that we retain our "identity" in heaven, which means we would recognize our loved ones or in particular our family. "Kindreds" refers to family - this is the word used in KJV. In other versions NKJV and NIV instead of "kindreds" it says "tribes" which still refers to family. I would suggest reading it for yourself - and praying for the Lord to reveal to you what is accurate. I have not really given this alot of thought or prayer time myself - but I thought this may help you. |
