Many people I've talked to including family members have felt the presence of spirits on many occasions. My Mother and Aunt seem to have the nak for feeling the presence of evil. My mother-in-law claims that she's been visited by deceased family members throughout her life. My wife experienced very strange phenomena shortly after a friend passed and then again after her grandmother passed. My Mother felt the presence of a niece and my grandmother shortly after they passed. I cannot recall a time in my life where I've felt the presence of a spirit other than the Holy Spirit. Is it likely they have been visited by the spirits of the deceased or is it more likely that Satan is trying to find an opportunity to distract them? Perhaps this is a gift of sorts? It seems that most of these experiences happen right after the family member "gives up the ghost". Anyone else have similar experiences or thoughts?

These are called familiar spirits. They are demons that know the memories, lifestyle, actions and personality of the deceased and they imitate them in motivation of possibly leading the recipent of these messages visions astray ...so that they begin to contact medians, tarot cards, quiji boards etc...to open the door for the demon to come in...or even when they entertain these visions of the prescence of these spirts they open the door and give them permission to come into their home....usually that is when..the " familiar spirit" will reveal its true "identity or motivation" Usually by then its too late for the person to realize that this is not the deceased person to "get out or close the door"
I believe it is possible for a loved one to let someone know that they "made it to glory" but thats it...there are no continued visitations...messages etc...for to be present from the body is to be present before the Lord..for judgment.
Hope this helps...questions let me know. GB

You know it is interesting that you say it happened after people became deceased, when my grandfather died my mother and some of her siblings saw him in a dream, almost to tell them he is ok, as far as I know it never happened again.......my mother is a Christian and do not get involved in any of the occult activities, so I do not believe it was a familiar spirit like in the cases where most people believe it is a demon in disguise.
So there is a chance that it could happen, but I will be weary if I can feel spirits during the day.

I was with my mom when she passd on. Seen her seperate from her body and move around the room towards my sister who was comming in the doorway.
I went to my sister and felt moms presence.
I was also with dad when he died but I was unaware of anything like that happening with him.
That was over 30 years ago and I've never seen anything like that since.
People who say it was a demon really have no idea what they are talking about.

I believe they are referring to familiar spirits who can disguise them as a family member.......what you saw I believe was truly your mother, but it is very rare to see your love one leave their body.....when they start to come back regularly I would be concerned.

Be blessed!
I am trying to understand it. I've seen my son's great grandma who has been dead for 7 years now. I saw her twice and then no more. I was researching it and I read where they get like a visitation pass from God then can that be right they are not able to come whenever they want?
One time I asked my great grandma to come and worship with me I was lonley and she didn't and I didn't know why. I know she watches over me but, I am still learning. Stay Blessed!
All The Glory Belongs To God!

Hello,
Did you get a message from her the times you saw her? Was it in a dream/vision/in person?
I have never heard of God giving visitation passes out to the citizens of Heaven, but I do not know everything so pass on that info about that issue if you still have it.
A familiar spirit would not join you to pray, trust me!
I believe we have angels protecting us, not any of our deceased family members......for the chances is good that a familiar spirit would disguise himself as family to gain our trust.....so I would not pursue any of my dead family at all, God warns us about these things.
You must never forget, you are never alone, God carries you when you can't, He is the most faithful and knows the best for us, many feel God does not react fast enough on their prayers, but I do believe many of us know God will always come through, but does not do it on our clock........look at David and Josef....
When dead creation visits in a dream, it is 2 things, A dream that you created from
your life or it is of the spirit. A created dream, when you Grand Father and you
are watching TV. or playing football etc. But if he turns to you and says anything of
a spiritual nature. Like follow me to heaven. We know that Jesus is the Way to the Father. Not dead creation. So I would then remind the Grand Father that he is dead
and ask him his name and business. I ignore all my dreams of deceased people, or any
other spiritual beings, even if it looks like jesus.
Jesus is the Word, I do not need spirits, visions or dreams telling me likewise.

Hi Gary,
Do you get visited regularly by deceased in your dreams? I have never experienced that!
I would really be concerned if my deceased grandfather tells me to follow him to heaven, for my first thought would be that he is not who he seems to be......and probably pray that he must be covered with the blood of Christ in the name of Jesus!
I agree with you, Jesus is the Word, but there are many examples where people were visited by Jesus, for ex. Paul, I do believe when we see Jesus we will know His voice if we are born again.
Spirits of the deceased making appearences?
