the world is deceived, but they dont know it. if you belive in ghosts of the dead, then you are deceived: if you are a true christian you can not believe that the dead are are roaming around looking for a place,and haunting,and causing trouble.
the scipture is clear about the dead, they are in the grave,and the spirit of life that belongs to God; goes back to where it came from. Jesus spirit also went back to God.yes?
so what are these hauntings; claiming to be;father ,or mother ,or brother, or some one.
when they appear they look like them, they also know the whole history of the family,their likes and dislikes. it is so very convincing. you have mediums talking to the dead, and they can tell the history of the person,they also dont know that they have been deceived, they have been taken for a ride; these evil spirits are having fun,pretending to be the dead that has been contacted.these mediums they all have a guide with them(God calls these, familiar spirits:always the same to guide) remember satan said to eve ''no, you will not die; you will be as gods God.'' in other words,you will be spirit. but this is not what God says, he says ''you will die''. satan has deceived the whole world,in every way he can. we seem to forget, that he is much more intelligent than humans,he is from a higher plain,maybe 100x more intelligent than us humans. do not underestimate him.
only the truth will set you free from this lie. if you experience a ghost that looks like anyone you know; cast him out in the name of Jesus. and he will flee.
all the dead are resting in their graves, waiting for the calling. even the thieve that was crucified, also is still in his grave: but when he opens his eyes it is just as if it is that same day, but 2000yrs has past. but he will not be resurected in the spirit; but in the flesh,and he will be one of the jews that will be brought back,and that place is called paradise.the 1000yr reign. GOD bless.

''wakeup''.

these hauntings, or ghosts apearing like friends or relatives,they are all evil spirits, and fallen angels. this world is full of them,they have no where else to go.

I liked your post - i.e. that evil spirits will come in the form of those we love; hence it has been lablled with the name 'ghost' to trick people into believing that ghosts 'may be an experience in a person's life' or can exist - when rightfully, it is Satan using one of his many devices to decieve people. In the past, I was aquainted with a friend who possessed a 'familiar spirit'...however, by the grace of God I have managed to be freed from being aquainted with that person. I Praise and thank God for opening my eyes...

God bless you:)

The reason why many are decieved about ghosts roaming a place and such is because they spend most of their lives watching such stuff on the media and not having any time to read the Bible. God bless

Amen! I believe that modern day media is a tool of the devil (whether deliberate or unintentional, I leave up to someone else) to "numb" the general public to all manners of evil; including evil spirits.

Yes, I do believe in ghosts and I do believe in familiar spirits.

I believe when one prays to God for His fire of protection we really aren't bothered by them.

Zechariah 2:5; "For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her." If we are bothered then I would find out the reason why.......do we have in our home things that God disaproves of? Examine to see why.

FAMILIAR SPIRITS are a different kind of ghost.

These are those that are ..."familiar" with a persons generation. They are familiar with your family and your generations.

Exodus 20"4,5; "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:(5) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me."

Verses for familiar spirit.........Lev. 19:31, 20:27, I Chr. 10:13, Is. 29:4, and many more.

Saul was "given" an evil spirit from God. I Sam. 18:10. This spirit caused him to be angry, mad, moody, suspicious, loose control of proper thinking..This was all caused by this spirit.

In families you can detect these familiar spirits also.......maybe that family has generation after generation of drunks....not responsible people...lazy ...stubborn people.......etc.
We would never think of these as a familiar spirit but they go from one host to another host in that same family.

One of the most beautiful storys in scripture is Act 7:60...when Stephen kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. What Stephen understood was that this group of people was committing a terrible sin of murder and he did not want any generation later to carry this on to the next. Which would be their chirdren and he wanted more than anything that the Holy Spirit could work in this new ground of people. The Holy Spirit will come in then for the generations after. Sometimes it's the hardest thing in the world to do but we need to forgive or else the Holy Spirits is blocked.

If we want that for our children and family that is what we need to do. Clear what ever is out of the way so the Holy Spirit can minister in our families.

this has been going since the very early days,to contradict the truth.satan always say the opposite. he also has turned this world upside down, to be good is bad; nice is ugly; bitter is sweet; to be God fearing is stupid, and ignorant, and weak: war is good for business,can put up the prises,can sell the hardware. greed is good; if you steal,dont steal 100 dollars, steal 100million dollars and you will get away. murderers,becoming legends; books are written about them. thank you brother.
