Devil's (5 Occurrences).
Ephesians 6:11 put on the whole armour of God, for your
being able to stand against the wiles of the devil,
being able to stand against the wiles of the devil,
He
is also represented as warning against "that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world" (Revelation 12:7-9). ...
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world" (Revelation 12:7-9). ...
Why
would God bring back a dead person soul back to Earth, Knowing that this world
is full of sin? Familiar spirits are not the person that died, because the
bible speaks of people in hell once you die. Also speaks that God will judge
the dead in hell to be reserved for the lake of fire.
The
rich man in hell Luke 16:22 -24 And it came to
pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom:
the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and
send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my
tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Hell
the sides of the pit Isaiah 14
Disembody
spirits? 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel;
for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Hebrews 9:27 Just as man is
destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that,
whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing
rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord
Samuel
in the bible speaks of Saul call him from the dead 1 Samuel
28:1-25
Hell
is reserved for sinners 2 Peter 2 4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them
down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved
unto judgment; 5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person,
a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the
ungodly; 6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes
condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto
those that after should live ungodly; 7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of
the wicked: 8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and
hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their
unlawful deeds;) 9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
A
sinner cannot enter into heaven Romans 3:23 For all
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; John 3:3 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be
converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing
shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Cannot
pray a person that is died as a sinner into heaven Hebrews 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the
blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he
sought it carefully with tears.
The
Devil is a ruler of darkness Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and
having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:
multi
personality disorder of a person are demon of familiar spirits Leviticus
20:6,7 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.
7Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am
the LORD your God. 8And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD
which sanctify you. Mark 9: 20And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway
the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto
him? And he said, Of a child. 22And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the
waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us,
and help us. 23Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are
possible to him that believeth. 24And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with
tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked
the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge
thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of
him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. 27But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
The
devil lies through a person month
When
the devils enters a body and leaves and tries to find a place to rest Luke
11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a
man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I
will return unto my house whence I came out. 25And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more
wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state
of that man is worse than the first.
Question:
"What does the Bible say about ghosts / hauntings?"
Answer: Is there such a thing as ghosts? The answer to this question depends on what precisely is meant by the term “ghosts.” If the term means “spirit beings,” the answer is a qualified “yes.” If the term means “spirits of people who have died,” the answer is “no.” The Bible makes it abundantly clear that there are spirit beings, both good and evil. But the Bible negates the idea that the spirits of deceased human beings can remain on earth and “haunt” the living.
Hebrews 9:27 declares, “Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” That is what happens to a person’s soul-spirit after death—judgment. The result of this judgment is heaven for the believer (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23) and hell for the unbeliever (Matthew 25:46; Luke 16:22-24). There is no in-between. There is no possibility of remaining on earth in spirit form as a “ghost.” If there are such things as ghosts, according to the Bible, they absolutely cannot be the disembodied spirits of deceased human beings.
The Bible teaches very clearly that there are indeed spirit beings who can connect with and appear in our physical world. The Bible identifies these beings as angels and demons. Angels are spirit beings who are faithful in serving God. Angels are righteous, good, and holy. Demons are fallen angels, angels who rebelled against God. Demons are evil, deceptive, and destructive. According to 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, demons masquerade as “angels of light” and as “servants of righteousness.” Appearing as a “ghost” and impersonating a deceased human being definitely seem to be within the power and abilities that demons possess.
The closest biblical example of a “haunting” is found in Mark 5:1-20. A legion of demons possessed a man and used the man to haunt a graveyard. There were no ghosts involved. It was a case of a normal person being controlled by demons to terrorize the people of that area. Demons only seek to “kill, steal, and destroy” (John 10:10). They will do anything within their power to deceive people, to lead people away from God. This is very likely the explanation of “ghostly” activity today. Whether it is called a ghost, a ghoul, or a poltergeist, if there is genuine evil spiritual activity occurring, it is the work of demons.
What about instances in which “ghosts” act in “positive” ways? What about psychics who claim to summon the deceased and gain true and useful information from them? Again, it is crucial to remember that the goal of demons is to deceive. If the result is that people trust in a psychic instead of God, a demon will be more than willing to reveal true information. Even good and true information, if from a source with evil motives, can be used to mislead, corrupt, and destroy.
Interest in the paranormal is becoming increasingly common. There are individuals and businesses that claim to be “ghost-hunters,” who for a price will rid your home of ghosts. Psychics, séances, tarot cards, and mediums are increasingly considered normal. Human beings are innately aware of the spiritual world. Sadly, instead of seeking the truth about the spirit world by communing with God and studying His Word, many people allow themselves to be led astray by the spirit world. The demons surely laugh at the spiritual mass-deception that exists in the world today.
