As a follower of Jesus, you do not have to fall victim to Satan and his demons’ tricks. If demons know that a loved one has passed, they may try to deceive you with visions, dreams, or encounters with your loved one.Įven in the difficult times of losing a loved one, you still must stand your ground against Satan and his schemes ( Ephesians 6:10-18). Demons have been around for a long time, so they can accurately predict human behaviors. The Holy Spirit will keep you safe from demons, but we also have to use our own knowledge to abstain from the paranormal.Īfter the death of a loved one, we can be particularly vulnerable to the attacks of demons.

They want to scare, harm, and hurt you ( John 10:10).īecoming involved with ghosts can cause bad things to happen to you. Satan and his demons want to cause your downfall. Paul warns all people that you cannot have a seat at God’s table and the table of demons ( 1 Corinthians 10:21). Believers need to flee from any fascination with ghosts as the ghosts are only demons.

Many people still report seeing dead loved ones or experiencing the paranormal activity of a haunting in their home. There is not a third option to return to the earth and complete “unfinished business.” Each person will either go to one or the other. All individuals who have placed faith in Jesus will go to Heaven however, all of the people who have not accepted Jesus will go to hell. When a person dies, they are immediately before God ( Ecclesiastes 12:7).ĭepending on whether or not they accepted Jesus will determine if they go to Heaven or hell. A person does not get to choose whether they are going to return to haunt the people of their earthly life.
