1 | TV Show "Crossing Over" - Dead Speaks? | Deut 18:11 | jg8ball | 712 | ||
There is a relatively new show on the Sci-Fi channel called "Crossing Over" in which the host, John Edward, claims to be able to communicate with the dead. I've watched several of the shows and the information he relays is pretty exact and would seem almost impossible for him (or his staff) to research the people to gather the info. He seems to bring a lot of "mental" healing to the people he talks with. Could it be possible that God allows this to take place, or could it be the devil tricking the people, or is there some other explanation? | ||||||

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. |

All I can tell you my friend is that the devil deceives. If you are saying the man brings a lot of mental healing to the people he talks with, then he is doing the devil's job. Nothing brings healing ( for losing a loved one )other than faith to Jesus Christ. Any healing that does not come from Him is superficial and surely temporary. | ||||||
