Well i don't know when either when i was just born or before i was born my mother and rest of my family used a whatever board and a spirit claimed to be God after they asked questions such as are they going to heaven most was a yes but i know one was a no i don't know wether to believe it was or not because afterwards he said to pray to God to burn the board and never to come on it again. So what do you think?
Do you think this was God?

It sounds suspicious, I think if you use an item because it could be seen as an idol depending on the context. I think we should just take it one day at a time and figure what does the Lord want us to do in the present tense.

I'm not quite clear on your story, but a board is used as a tool to request help from spirits. It is not the board itself that is the danger; but every time you look at the board your brain would pull up memories or manage temptation to do it again.
We have so little knowledge of spirits, and even when we do, they are unpredictable. Historically, they have turned on people. Lure and then crush.
It sounds like you're asking if God can speak through the board. God is above the board, above the spirits, and can do whatever He wants. But as said above, He does not support divination, and would not continue to speak this way.
You called on help from spirits, so they could trick you into believing your godly answers can come through the board... drawing you back for another round.
Wouldn't it just be easier to ask God directly for His help? It's easier than it can seem.

To make it clear i'm not the one that used the ouijia board my parents and siblings were before i was born i'm not sure if it was a evil spirit or not or if it was God.
@rick357 A ouijia board is not divination but it is demonic so i will never use one and family won't ever anymore hopefully.
@Parsley i'm not asking of God can speak threw the board i'm asking if that spirit that talked to my family threw one could of been sorry if i phrased stuff wrong the spirit apparently claimed to be God and told my parents etc to pray to God Not the spirit that was talking the spirit did not say any other name except God the spirit also told them to never use the board again and burn it. And again i say they did not want my family to come back on the board they specificly asked if they could but again the spirit said no never come back on it and to burn it.
@Aiki i don't think you understood what i was saying it was not me that talked threw it it was my family before i was born they burned the board afterwards when the spirit told them to never come back on it and to burn it.
Hopefully this reply will clear these things up.

I mentioned you in the reply i just did but i would like to have a seperate reply for you instead.
I did not call on any spirits it was my parents and family before i was born that did this not me to make that clear. The spirit told them never to come back on the board and to burn it after they asked some questions not about the future but if they were going to heaven the spirit said yes to most of them except i think 2? one for not believing which was my dad but he has changed and started believing sense then.
I hope this can clear things up.

Renounce any occult activity in your family and dedicate
through prayer your family and stay away from the occult.
Those boards do not have any power in themselves but when
someone uses them to contact whatever spirits would care
to answer, you are opening yourself up to nothing but trouble.
Burn the board as it represents the occult and an opening of a door
that leads away from God and salvation in Jesus Christ.

@Pal Handy You guy's don't get what i'm saying there is no occult activity in my family this happend before i was born and they never used a board sense they burned the board and never touched it again. Even back they most of them were christians except my dad but he came to God cause of the experiance that i was not there for. To make that clear.

Rock, paper, JESUS! I win!
Hon- using a ouija board- even once- IS dabbling in the occult. Even if those who messed about with it have never touched it since- that doesn't mean that it couldn't have caused problems. It IS a form of divination. It doesn't just mean trying to see the future- it also means to uncover hidden knowledge by supernatural means- including asking a spirit entity questions, trying to 'divine' ( perceive intuitively or through some inexplicable perceptive powers ) knowledge; which is exactly what a ouija board is designed for.
It's like going past a big gate with a sign on saying 'Dangerous dogs- do not open' and saying that because I only opened that gate once and never touched it again, it wasn't possible for the dogs to have got out. There's a reason God told us to stay away from that stuff. A Christian has authority over demons- but only a fool would mess about in that realm.
God gave humans authority over the animals of the earth- we're above them, we 'rank higher' if you like and God put us in charge of them. But only an absolute idiot would go up to a hungry wild lion and yell into its face 'Hey- I'm higher than you!' and honestly believe he wouldn't get mauled!
Do you see the comparison?
If your family were genuine Christians (which, if they were, one has to wonder what the blazes they were doing playing around with a ouija board, for goodness' sake!!!), then, that was still asking for trouble. It may well be that demonic influence was invited in by that action.
I'm not saying it was- I want to be clear about that- but this is why we don't touch that stuff.
A Christian- a true Christian- can't be possessed by a demon- but we can get hassled by them and give them leeway to be a complete pain in our rear!
I've used this example before-
Imagine you're a house. You become a Christian- and the Holy Spirit moves in and lives within you. Because of that holiness, nothing unclean can live where the Holy Spirit lives. The demons can't move in- but they can sure as heck stand on your lawn and throw stones at your windows and ring your doorbell and graffiti your walls given half a chance. Playing about with stuff we shouldn't be touching can be like inviting the demonic to set up camp on our front doorstep.
In my own family, I learned that there had been some dabbling in similar stuff years before I was even conceived. I wouldn't be at all surprised if something was given a free reign on my family then- I won't go into the difficulties, weirdness and very clearly spiritual things that happened as I grew up- and when I became a Christian I basically prayed, breaking the bondage of anything that had been done by members of my family. I renounced any occult activity and pretty much did exactly what Pal Handy said. (Ok, there was no board for me to destroy but I sure as heck got rid of certain other things that I could and prayed for protection through our home- going through each room- and over my family).
I also prayed over my children while they were still unborn, that any generational curse caused by past activities out of my control, any demonic influence on my family that had been invited in through those activities would be rebuked and ended and would not have any place in our home nor any hold on my children. (We also had neighbours involved in witchcraft at one point- and there was an ongoing feud between my family and them before I was born- and I also prayed against any actions on their part towards us- any curses they may have thrown our way- even if some of that family thought it was 'a bit of fun').
The good news is that 'He who is in you is greater than he who in the world'. Brilliant, eh? Don't let all this scare you. If you're a child of God- renounce the occult activity (just doing something once still means it was done!) and rebuke any influence or hold resulting from that.
I'm really not a Christian who sees demons in every shadow. I think far too many Christians are far too quick to cry 'demon!' at every little thing- but I do know not to dabble in stuff like this- and I do know that there's a whole spiritual realm and we're in the battle- so I do take it seriously.
I am not advocating you go in all guns blazing and try to perform some sort of 'casting out' - for a start it's against the rules here to instruct someone to do that and for another it's irresponsible when I'm not exactly sure what- if anything- has been happening in your family. To be honest (please don't be offended) it's a little hard to get exactly what you're saying. Perhaps if you refrain from a slangy 'text talk' style, which isn't really the done thing in forums, it would be much easier for us to know exactly what you're saying. We know you personally haven't meddled with the board. We know that your family did it once and didn't touch it agian- but you seem to think we don't get that. I mean this kindly, because we really want to help- I think it'd be very helpful if you use normal punctuation/ spelling to express yourself and not be in such a hurry that you're dropping into confusing 'teenspeak' if you see what I mean!

I think its not good to contact spirits and what happened was the angels saw what your parents were doing and intervened somehow.
Dont ever do that again ok? Tell your family its wrong and if they want to talk to God they can go directly to his throne of grace through being saved by the blood of Jesus shed on the cross for our sins.

*Consulting a spirit(s) is something that the Word of God forbids.
So don't do it...and stop giving air to what was "revealed"
to your family, who were messing around with a ouija board...
divination- is also forbidden in the Bible.
God reveals what we need to know through The Word, the Holy Spirit
and the Son(Christ).

Well even using it once is dabbling in the occult. That aside no, what they heard was not God. Those boards are demonic in nature (so to speak).

Rockshe, we just need to rely on Yahweh and His Word. Encourage you to ask Yahweh for forgiveness for putting any consideration into this. His Word says "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:15
Also, "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me." John 17:23
Based on this John 17:23 Scripture, Patricia King = “We all know that the Father loves His son. You know, He loves Jesus so perfectly. As the Lord loves Him - that’s how much He loves you. You might think He can’t because I can’t be perfect like Jesus. God doesn’t love Jesus because He’s perfect, He loves Jesus because Jesus is His son and that’s why God loves Jesus. He loves you the same way. He loves you the same way He loves Jesus because you are His child. The Father Himself loves you.”

Purely fantasy, and of course, once you realized what is wrong with the game's procedure and why it belongs in the falsehood category, simply because your life serving God, while Jesus the Son of God is keeping you positive in your heart, as the invisible flow of supernatural peace and joy keep your emotions as calm as a still pond - even with disturbing multiple-choice thoughts can drive your emotions up the wall:.
Example of such disturbing multiple-choice thoughts: if you are working in the office and the printer ink runs out and you want to blame someone for not ordering the ink - or you think they deliberately allowed it to happen because they are atheists and you are Christian, - or because you took sick leave for a couple days, they decided to go hypocritical on you as if your absence has caused a profit shortfall, affecting their pay.;'*';.
