Visits from the deceased

[Aaron112]

A lot of fraud has been exposed of people, and children as if they had been to heaven and came back.

you wouldn't argue no one has been to heaven and came back, would you?

 

[Aaron112]

Pray fervently and earnestly for them. YHVH may heal them, save them, mature them , in Jesus.

Everything Good is from above. People though, are not. If they are not healed , not free from religious deception, nothing from them can be counted on nor trusted.

it seems everyone has these experiences.

 

[Aaron112]

The dead know nothing. They cannot appear. But YHVH may give a vision as a blessing or as a serious life/death warning.

For the record my last memory of my father was of him screaming his head off, and it was obvious something was coming for him. Then he just disappeared.

 

[Aaron112]

Maybe. Or, As Jesus Told the disciples, "At this time do not tell anyone of this VISION".

Moses and Elijah appeared to the disciples recorded in Matt, Mark and Luke.

 

[Freth]

According to scripture the dead know not any thing, nor do they have any more portion in anything under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.​

​

If this is indeed the case (and I believe it is), then the dead cannot appear to the living.

Further evidence is found in the fact that death is equated to sleep in scripture. A dead person has no awareness in their sleep state (John 11, 2 Peter 3:4, et al.), and they remain asleep until one of two resurrections, either to everlasting life, or everlasting contempt (Daniel 12:2).

In 1 Samuel 28 we find that Saul sought to speak to Samuel, who was dead, through the witch of Endor. Given the above, the spirit Samuel conversed with could not have been Samuel. No wonder God calls witchcraft a sin many chapters before in 1 Samuel 15.

Who directs the angels ? YHVH.
He gives His angels charge over His children. (does He do this for unbelievers? shrugs? What does His Word Say?)

so does everyone have "an angel"? i dont know.

i know that i had one.. and in 2015 it told me it would be leaving me. it brought to my mind a half a dozen times it provided me premonitions to protect me, from not stepping on a nail, to "knowing" someone was in my blind spot, that kind of thing. when it told me that, i felt relieved.. like i had "Grown up now" and didn't need handholding. -i told someone this and they said "i would be devistated if i heard that"

I don't know that I was answering your comment. As God Directs, I post. You also I hope.

 

[Aaron112]

God may very well be healing you , and memories, via dreams, in line with His Word.

If this is true, then I've encountered "demons" who are warmer, more loving, less hateful, and way more spiritual than most Christians I know.

I see my late dad almost everyday in dreams

then why did you quote it.

look, i don't care if you believe most of the "heaven" testimonies are frauds.

if however, you believe no one ever has gone to heaven, or seen stuff inside it, and come back to speak of it... then that's what concerns me. and that's what your comment implies.

 

[Aaron112]

I do not remember.

then why did you quote it.

Dreams are different than apparitions. If you dream about your dad it could be the Holy spirit conforting i suppose.
I don't have friends either, between autism and other difficult stuff, only through God i have hope and some comfort.

I really hope it's the Holy Spirit. So far, I haven't had any ghostly apparitions of my late dad as I can remember.

I'm dealing with high levels of stress for years now. The dreams are quite nice and seems to help de-stress a lot.
