“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.” Ecclesiastes 9:5 KJV
“Neither shall [men] tear [themselves] for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall [men] give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.” Jeremiah 16:7 KJV
“So man lieth down, and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be raised out of their sleep. His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.”
Job 14:12, 21 KJV
The Lord is to be lifted up in all aspects of our living, even in our grieving. The people of Eloheem do not grieve as the world grieves. Death is very hard to deal with especially if sudden. Yet, our Heavenly Father has promised us comfort, love, blessings, peace, joy, happiness—if we are truly in Him, We abide in Him, and His word abides in us, He abides in us. We receive His blessings having His Power His Holy Spirit meeting the conditions.
No-one without the Lord within by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, without faith of the Lord can overcome devils—impossible. One may say they know it’s a devil if their dead loved one appears to them, that they will rebuke the devil. Yet, the enemy of souls in the Lord will not come to them that way because they know that—the enemy is smarter than that. Souls idolizing the dead, tattooing themselves in memory of the dead; missing the dead they wear on the date they died and the date they were born, and wear for days, etcetera like it holds their memory that which belonged to the dead and, or that which didn’t belong to the dead but has their picture on it, or their name or signature on it; the uplifting of the dead, honoring the dead to keep the memory of them “alive” because they don’t want them to be “forgotten”—is an open door, an invitation to devils to Satan. He has already subtly entered the mind with deception—these souls are so deceived that they don’t even know it.
It is Satan’s ground that many souls are on in honoring the dead every year the date that they were born, the date that they died or killed themselves, and even the world’s holidays they are addressed as if they are here, or as if they are watching over them.
At the same time, there is an open door to devils in other areas of the life as well that the souls are on a downward spiral and they don’t even realize it—these souls are as the literal dead—they know not anything, and these have no true knowledge of Eloheem, no understanding from the Holy Spirit.
Spiritualism, idolatry comes in many ways and forms—well disguised by the father of lies of deception.
Repent and be converted before it is too late. Love the Lord above and more than the dead.
