Before this video played, I got an ad for "opening the Third Eye" from the ancient Egyptians. How darkly ironic.

always remember angels are scary, demons are attractive. just like in real life, those who want to help themselves will tell you want you want to hear. while those who truly want to help you will tell you the truth that you dont want to hear.

Who said that spirits don't exist? They are demons. They exist..
@dehoward575 Says:
God gives us those commands because of the deception that can and usually will occur. But you can read 1 Samuel 28 about the one recorded occurrence of talking to a "ghost". Some will say that this spirit that appears is not of the dead Samuel. But later in this Bible story, he is referred to as Samuel. So either the scripture is confirming this spirit as Samuel, or this translation is in error. Some will say that prior to Jesus' resurrection that those who had passed were contained in a purgatory of sorts; so were available. But after the resurrection, those who were believers in Christ then went on to be with God in Heaven, which would meant that at this time the only spirits left to be contacted would be demons or ghosts of unbelievers. But either way, God has given us a command regardless of whether or not ghosts of deceased people can be contacted.

Thank you. I’m trying to warn of this 😥

Why the Bible doesn't talk about this ?
@DrBKBade Says:
Admittedly, I didn't read all of the comments so you might have answered this, but I wonder how Samuel's spirit being brought up for Saul by the witch of Endor fits into your discussion. Samuel wouldn't have been one of the negative spirits you describe, yet he prophesied for Saul.
@theofficialchristina Says:
Yea and thats why we are forbidden as Christians to not do these things
@edgarmorales4476 Says:
If spirits don't exist - then heaven and hell are empty. And if spirits are demons - then heaven must be full of demons. Christians are so narrow-minded - thanks the ancestors for lack of understanding - or for their selfish purposes and gain. Jesus will discard the Bible as he did with the Torah. Too much of the Bible has been misunderstood - distorted and incorrectly reprted that Christians sin in ignorance. If Jesus were still alive - no church will accept his true teachings. Instead - the churches will do the same thing as did the Jewish Religious Hierarchy.

Cause no spirits but demons
@K1NG_D0ME Says:
The fallen angels mated with women, creating giants. And when the giants died, being that they weren’t supposed to exist, their spirits stayed stuck on earth. Continuing to harass and attack humans. Aliens, Bigfoot, all of it.. All the supernatural creatures are demonic in nature. Remember, we are battling spirits of darkness. And the fallen angels rule the sky which is why we see UFOs and other supernatural things like them. Took a long time to realize that but when i did, it was like the puzzle began to look much more clear.
@willihave308 Says:
That was brilliant explanation!! I got goosebumps about halfway through! Now I can put forward a argument against those who believe it’s ok to seek spirits.
@luvmymusic4336 Says:
It is the god of this world or an evil spirit sent by him .The word Of God strickly saids that its an abomination to God to try to contact the dead and you will draw the wrath of God on you dont do it people. if you love god you will not break his commandments.
@andrewstidham7950 Says:
never seen a ghost but a unclean spirit yes!
@leilajourneay8511 Says:
what about throughout scripture with angels and even God appearing before people to give them messages etc.? Daniel, Moses, Mary, Joseph (in a dream), Zachariah, Paul etc. etc. etc.....They appeared to them and they were from God. So to say that if a spirit appears to you that its not from God doesn't seem to align completely with scripture. But there should be discernment of the spirits.

Where in the bible does It says SPIRIT DONT EXIST??
@billlittlejohn2331 Says:
Once in 86 I felt the presence of an evil spirit. I was not living for the Lord and was very worldy. Im setting in my chair in the afternoon and I felt a very cold something move thru me from left to right. I never felt it again but I've known since it happened that it was an evil entity. That's my experience with spirits. Never seen any and thank my precious Lord I'm sure I never will. God bless all who see this.
@edgardelgado8753 Says:
They are demons fallen angels!
@Feraeond Says:
One caveat, which perhaps denotes a shift after Jesus fulfilled the old covenant and enacted the new one, is hinted at when King Saul in his final desperate attempt to regain God's favor sought out a medium to contact Samuel, which to a seemingly frightened response she succeeded in doing. Samuel's spirit rebuked Saul and reinforced God's stance of divination being an abominable practice. And in the parable/accounting of Lazarus and the rich man, Abraham specified that passing between torment and Abraham's bosom was not possible. They were communicating between the two places, however, and communication with the living world was not even addressed there. I believe it likely that once Jesus' sacrifice was complete and sin was officially paid for He led up a host of captives out of Abraham's bosom as certain translations of Ephesians 4 could indicate, and as of now divination is only effective at conjuring demonic entities. However I don't want to dismiss awareness of that change between the old and new covenant for what it represents to the theology of atonement and sinlessness in God's presence, if it is an accurate assessment.

When King Saul thought he was speaking to Samuel it wasn't really Samuel it was a demon.

Don't delve in all this stuff, it will mess you up
@billlittlejohn2331 Says:
Demonic spirits do indeed exist! In 86 I felt the presence of an evil spirit. It was summer time and I was setting in my living room. Suddenly the area around my chair turned ice cold. That cold walked right thru me. I wasn't living for the Lord at that time. I knew what it was right after it happened. I've never tried to talk to spirits but was living a very non christian life. So yes there are spirits and they're all evil!!
@deniseyarde1610 Says:
What about “casting out” demonic spirits within people? My sister was talking about a group of folks doing such things. She also mentioned how people can have a demonic spirit within them but it’s hidden. She named certain things like depression, anxiety, fear, aggression, etc as such spirits. She said it was a beautiful thing when they were freed from such things. But, if I’m being honest, it all sounded very weird to me and something about it just seemed off about. With that logic, you could say that my 2 year old has such a spirit when she has a temper tantrum. I really don’t know how to respond to my sis when she gets excited about these things. I’m hoping someone will see this message and give insight
@wendyshine8548 Says:
Mellisa checkout these scriptures about death and what happens to our body and Ruach (spirit/breath). We were made from the dirt of the earth and God blew His breath into us. The opposite will happen when we die. (Until the resurrection). “and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.” (Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:7‬ ‭ESV‬‬). As well as Ps 146:4; Gen 3:19; Rev 11:11; Job 34:14-15; ps 6:5. It sounds like the evil spirits don’t include deceased humans at least. Maybe live ones? In any case I really appreciate your channel. It is so NEEDED in the church today. Keep on keeping on. And God bless you.

@krist7697 Says:
A few years before I got saved when I was a teenager one of my friends got a Ouija board for Christmas . Me and a group of my friends started playing with it in my friends walk in closet . I learned then that demons were absolutely real and could communicate with us because one did and I know for a fact no one was manipulating the board !!!! I won’t go into detail about what it said but all of us quit playing it and ram out !!! Now that I am saved I look back and think if a few kids could do this think what goes on all around the world with demonic influence mixed with unsaved people and the world made a lot more since to me . As a saved child of GOD I never want to communicate with such evil again only my LORD and savior in a thankful heart . He removed my heart of stone and gave me a heart of flesh .

I inherited my Mom's house when she died and she died in the house. Since she passed away I have talked to her on a daily basis. I really don't expect her to answer me and she so far never has and I certainly have never seen her or my Dad who died two years before she did. I think I talk to my Mom for two reasons. One is that it gives me comfort to talk to her and two I talk to her just in case there is some chance she is with me and listening. Is this a sin?
@vedinthorn Says:
Because they do exist and can be talked to.

@Ydrah Says:
Then how did King Saul managed to contact the spirit of prophet Samuel if it's true that the dead can't contact with the living? Thank you for the kind answers.
@MR-yx8hj Says:
How would one explain the visions of various Christians throughout history, such as Joan of Arc? Some have had visions of people who have passed. Is it mental illness, like schizophrenia or is it from a bad place?
@CarolynAmanda-77777 Says:
Pretty sure it's demons, too... messing with us from alternate dimensions, which would explain "impossible physics" poltergeist-type behavior. I think this will manifest more and more with the coming UFO deception. You have to invite demons into your life before they can wreak havoc.
@DTRBrianMallard Says:
You're absolutely right.
@mikerobertson1234 Says:
because the other religions are fake
@Jketernity Says:
Well said! It’s always amuzing how these “ghost hunters” so often carry a cross for protection or pray to God for the “Ghosts” to “go to the light” . They portray themselves as Christians but show a huge lack of scriptural knowledge which is truly sad. We should always remember if it’s not for God it’s against God an in so saying if it’s against scripture it can only be of Satan
@elskeletor3566 Says:
Ghosts don't exist but familiar spirits do and a familiar spirit is a demonic spirit which wants to fool the living into believing that the person who has past can continue as a ghost. It's also a way for them to act like that person who died so the family member like a wife will commune with the dead by using a medium someone who speaks to demonic spirits. It's all very evil in the end. When a person dies they go to Heaven or Hell there's no in between.
@lazer51 Says:
There is no spirits nor is there a god. When will humans get over this nonsense ?
@perrysaker1526 Says:
Because it is demons that are decieving
@stacieshaw2032 Says:
The Bible doesn’t say there aren’t spirits it actually says quite the opposite … Ephesians 6:12, NIV: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
@DeSilvaTrainingGround Says:
While I don't condone the garbage on TV and such, but she fails to bring up Saul going to a witch to bring Samuel back from the dead 1 Samuel 28 and the realm of sheol and we have Lazarus the begger and the rich man talking across the chasm. We also have a resurrection event at the cross. The paradise the thief on the cross is the good side of sheol. She uses her logic and not scripture. Plenty of scripture that shows we go there until the new heaven and earth.
