Seems many people have some sort of ghost story to tell, and often as they try an explain their paranormal accounts one might easily take at face value that indeed ghosts might really be a surviving human spirits. Could such apparitions occurring world wide throughout history be true? To the rational mind could they simply be some authentic hallucination that happens during a time of grieving the loss of a loved one? It appears to me after many years of biblical study and research these sorts of account most likely are revealing what is called a familiar spirit. They seem to be assigned to families in a generational way perhaps going all the way back to Adam, until someone repents for engaging in occultism before the Lord’s throne of mercy, grace and love to cancel their assignment by the blood of Jesus/Yeshua.
A familiar spirit would certainly know secrets no one else would be likely to know. There are no walls in the spirit world and they are watching you, learning your ways and habits, how you comb your hair and what you like to eat and wear etc. Here are a few scriptures from our Holy Guide Book to the Supernatural that may help shed some light onto this darkness.
By the way I also think it was clearly a familiar spirit that appear to Saul and took him away from the Gospel truth. King Saul as we study this was entertaining a spirit of fear which God did not give him, (2 Timothy 1:7) and is opposite faith. Without faith it is impossible to please the Lord. Hebrews 11:6,”But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Seeing how the Philistine army had gathered round Saul and his army to attack Israel, Saul unsure of what to do moans, “If only Samuel were here, he would tell me what to do.” Knowing the prophet Samuel had died a few years earlier. Saul makes a fatal mistake here and goes against what the Holy Scriptures warns us all about. He tells his servant to go seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. (1 Samuel 28:7-25) Papa God clearly commanded His people never to consult a witch or any kind of medium but King Saul like many professing believers who do not study to show themselves approved had little regard for the Lord God Almighty implicit instructions.
So we read that King Saul disguised himself and went to see that witch/physic/medium, and tells her to “Bring me up Samuel.” This witch/physic/medium went through her spells and enchantments until an apparition claiming to be Samuel the prophet appeared to her and so she gives the king an utterly hopeless message. Her familiar spirit now has his undivided attention as it is able to predict and help set up that Saul and his three sons would die in battle the very next day. Instead of turning to the Lord for help and guidance and repenting, the next day Saul’s sons were slain by the Philistines, and afterward the wounded and discouraged king falls on his sword trying commit suicide. Only he suffers on until someone come along whom he convinces to finish himself off and sadly that person ends up being slain by David for finishing Saul off. (See 1 Samuel 31). So the question of who spoke to Saul through the witch of Endor, a resurrected prophet of the Lord, or a demon in disguise becomes rather clear. The bottom line here is Samuel did not appear to Saul rather a familiar spirit impersonating him did. In most all ghost people share I highly suspect those reporting such accounts of apparitions are not often lead closer to the Lord from their experience unless they turn to search the Holy Scriptures for the truth. Let us always remember the enemy of our souls only comes to kill, steal and destroy, however the Lord Jesus/Yeshua desires you to follow him only so that you might have a blessed life.
John 10:10,” The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
Here are a few verses to help see for yourself what the Lord actually has to say about ghost’s and assorted apparitions appearing, keeping mind that lying signs and wonders is a work of the devil.
Leviticus 19:31,”Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD your God.”
Leviticus 20:27,” A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood [shall be] upon them.”
Leviticus 20:6 ,” And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.”
Isaiah 8:19,” And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?”
Isaiah 19:3,” And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.”
2 Chronicles 33:6,” And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.”
2 Kings 23:24 – Moreover the [workers with] familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
2 Kings 21:6,”And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke [him] to anger.”
Deuteronomy 18:10,” There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,”
Galatians 5:16,” This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Acts 16:16,” And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.”
We read in John 14:26,”But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” The Lord Jesus/Yeshua said in John 10:27,” My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” Fight back overcomers, trust Papa God for every detail and stay in faith! Jesus said in Luke 21:15, “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.’ I say hallelujah! Because “All”, things are possible with God! I pray the Lord’s supernatural peace, healing, provision and protection cover you always with oceans of agape love in the almighty name of Jesus/Yeshua!
