Do you believe? Do I believe? Does the Bible support this belief? It is my belief that it does. Now, I know a lot of mainstream Christians are going to argue this point, but, just hear me out.
In the New Testament, when Jesus appeared before His disciples after His crucifixion, He was talking to them trying to convince them that He was really alive. He asked one of them "What do you think I am, a ghost?". I believe they may have thought He was.
After studying the Bible and praying as much as I have, I know that there are many things that we cannot understand. We won't understand until Judgement. But, I do know that the Word talks about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus left behind as our comforter. What exactly is the Holy Spirit? When Jesus died, His spirit was left behind. In the old translations of the Bible, this was called the Holy Ghost. In our world, that God created, there is opposites of everything. Heaven and hell, Angels and Demons, the Holy Spirit and apparently, spirits of those that have not, for one reason or other, have not moved on. As the Chinese say: The yin and the yang. It just makes sense to me that this is the way of things.
Now, you may ask, have I ever seen a ghost? Have I felt the Holy Spirit? The answer to both would be yes. I have been "sensing" spirits since a very young age. I always thought I was nuts. Turned out that I am sensitive to these things. As I have gotten older, I have become more sensitive. Probably because I accept it now.
I do think that some people don't move on because they are afraid to, they have unfinished business or they just don't realize they are dead. In the past, I lived in a house that used to be a morgue. When the house was bought, we did not know this, or we may not have bought it. There were very strange things that went on there. I slept with a light on in the bedroom or didn't sleep except during the daylight hours. Not that it stopped them from being around. It was just that I could "see" who/what was around me this way.
I know that this short blog won't convince anyone they are around us, but, I am using this as a kind of catharsis on what I have gone through. I will write more about this next time.
Seen one too. Did not understand it until I read the appendix of the ghost of flight 401. Saw with great clarity yet I don't believe in ghosts.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way.......I have a lot of old souls that follow me around.
ReplyDeleteI too am sensitive to these things, so I understand what you are say very well. I fought knowing ghost among other things for years. As an adult, we moved into an extremely haunted house both good and bad entities. This is when I stopped fighting "knowing" and accepted it and my life became much better.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments. Wayne, I understand what you are saying. My late husband was the same way. Now he is one of the ones hanging around. I will be posting more blogs on my experiences in the next few days and weeks. Some of them are funny and some just make you think. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteOk, this is my question.... in the Bible it says that to be dead (for a believer/saved person) is to be present with the Lord.... It also talks about different levels of Heaven.... (ie... the Seventh Heaven)... If there are different levels of Heaven, are there not different levels of Hell? Is it possible that these souls who have not moved on could be in a level of Hell?
ReplyDeleteCourse it goes without saying I believe there are spirits (ghosts) and that sort of thing... of course... why would Jesus Himself reference something that was totally fictitious?
Hello, yes there are different levels of hell. It only makes sense (yin-yang). I cannot say for sure that the spirits are not in a level of hell, but I don't think they are. If that were true, what would the living be in? I'm not asking this to sound like a smart-a$$ or anything. Like you, I am trying to understand. Thanks for the comment. Great questions!
