My 2nd Ex-Wife will be Raised from the Dead in the Name of Jesus Christ

It's a difference of context. You may not have meant it this way, but there are a number of spirits who attach themselves to people personally who are not of God. Witches refer to them as "familiars," and New Agers sometimes call them "guardian spirits." The terms "Father, Lord, Savior" are most certainly used in a more personal sense within Christianity, but the Holy Spirit generally is not. He instead is described as a Spirit that fills us all and is in us all, so using the expression "my Holy Spirit" in the context of New Testament usage suggests you are referring to a spirit personal to you alone, which smacks of spiritism.

But again, I was trying to avoid vilifying you for anything. I was simply concerned with your personal welfare.

"Traditionalism" dictating to us again how to speak and act. We all are VERY susceptible to that. I guess it is hard to fight. We have a woman at church who prays to her "Daddy." I think some of the congregation would burn her at the stake if they could get away with it.

I don't have a problem with this at all. It's scriptural (Mark 14:36; Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6). It appears from these texts that the Christians made use of the term "Abba" in their prayers to God.

Again, my Holy Spirit does not council against the use of "my".

"So tell me how your Holy Spirit councils you. Yes, the Holy Spirit would council the same to everyone who has the Holy Spirit."

Check with your Holy Spirit, you Turkey. Your "discernment" mojo is malfunctioning, I was trying to defend you.

Yes, some seem to think that because the Lord spoke to Elijah in a "still small voice" that that is the only way He speaks to anyone and therefore there is only a certain way in which we speak of or to Him. This is, I believe, in error. Read through people's personal testimonies sometimes and recognize the different ways God speaks and so it is with us. We are not all the same. We are, or are to be, [or Not] different parts of the Body of Christ.

the truth is established in the mouths of many witnesses though ok, so you might reconsider

i mean you surely have the best idea of anyone here how that is generally being received, for all i know your pov is prevailing among the witnesses, and if it is not then i would certainly suggest beautiful are the feet in that case, or even stay in one house and eat what they feed you, but wadr those are effectively your choices i think

Alert, I'm honestly more concerned about your situation. You never answered me. How long has it been since your wife passed away? It would have been in a caring spirit that I asked if you were prepared for her not to be raised from the dead like you were praying for. We always have to leave things like this in the hands of God.

Will you be ok if He denies your request?

Hebrews 1 speaks of angels as 'ministering spirits sent to minister to them that shall be heirs of salvation'.

My 2nd Ex-Wife will be Raised from the Dead in the Name of Jesus Christ

I have been counselled by my Holy Spirit in the recent past that she needs to be raised from the dead. She sufferred a wrongful death. I also have been reminded to keep praying for her.

Raising the dead is for disciples of the Lord to do, as He commanded them to do so.
Matthew 10:8

I think it is a wonderful thing that someone can be raised from the dead to then follow the Lord to eternal life. I believe Brenda will be raised from the dead.

John 5:19-29

If she believed that Christ died for her sins, was buried, and was resurrected after 3 days, she will one day be resurrected, but that will be a long time off, most probably. She certainly won't EVER be resurrected alone. She will be part of one of the mass resurrections.

Since what you ask is 1000% non-Biblical, you will never get your wish. If a Spirit truly told you that she would be made alive, alone, you are absolutely being lied to by an evil spirit. No one living today has the unction to be able to raise anyone from the dead.

Mt 10:8 was a commandment given to the 12 apostles ONLY. It wasn't given to you. Besides Christ, the 12 were the only ones at that time that were given the powers to raise anyone from the dead. YOU CERTAINLY CANNOT DO IT and neither can that foul spirit you've been talking to or anyone living today. She's 100% dead and will remain so until God's scheduled time.

 

[Heart2Soul]

Mt 10:8 was a commandment given to the 12 apostles ONLY.

If it is in the Bible it is given to all of us...the Bible is for all who study it and believe it...it is what we are to be obedient to in all things.

Surely you jest!! Do you sacrifice animals as prescribed in the Bible? Were you circumcised in an official Jewish ceremony? Do you keep all of the Law? If you don't do these things, you are a hypocrite. You are a picker and chooser.

Christianity is watered down and essentially destroyed by people who falsely believe that what is given to a person or group in the Bible is given to everyone. Absurd. That belief will keep you out of Heaven.

Shedding of blood for the remission of sins changed from animals to Jesus as the sacrificial lamb so, nice try....if it changed then you follow the new laws.

I am very sorry for your loss....my husband died several years ago and it is hard to lose your mate...about a month after he died he came to me in a dream and said it was time for him to go and he wanted to say goodbye and let me know I would be alright....then I woke up and I could literally smell his scent and I had tears running down my face.

I am not convinced that when the body dies the spirit/soul stays in the body. Through testimonies of numerous others who have died and come back they seem to have the same testimony of being in the presence of God or Jesus or to have followed the light. Many testify that they saw an angel at their bedside as they were dying....

Billy Graham made this statement....Billy Graham: When a Believer Dies an ‘Angel Will Escort Them to Heaven’

The Rev. Billy Graham recently answered a reader’s question of whether angels escort believers to heaven after they die.

“When we die, does an angel accompany us into heaven? I’ve heard this all my life, but is it really true? How do we know?” the reader asked in the Answers section of the famous evangelist’s website.

“Yes, the Bible indicates that when a believer dies, the angels will escort them safely into heaven,” Graham began in his response, according to Charisma News.

Graham then provided an example from the Bible of an angel escorting a believer to heaven after death:

“In one of His parables, for example, Jesus told about two very different men. One was a rich man, who lived only for himself and ignored both God and others. The other was a poor beggar who had nothing as far as this world’s goods were concerned, but had faith in God and His promises. When the rich man died, he received what he deserved: a life of misery, separated from God forever. But when the poor man died, the angels accompanied him safely into God’s presence. (You can read this parable in Luke 16:19-31).”

Graham ended by reminding the reader as he always does in his responses to readers’ questions that salvation comes only through Jesus.

“Never forget, however, that Christ alone is our Savior, and He alone is the one in whom we are to place our faith and trust. We should be grateful for God’s angels, but we are not to worship them or make them (instead of Christ) the center of our faith. Is Christ the center of your faith? Make sure of your commitment to Him. Then put your confidence in God’s promise: “For He will give His angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways” (Ps. 91:11).”

This from a Baptist preacher...David Jeremiah.....FIRST-PERSON: Your heavenly escorts

For every Christian, the time is coming when we will move into our heavenly homes, assisted by the Lord's real estate agents -- called angels. After carefully studying this subject in the Bible, I've come to believe that angels take believers home to heaven when we die and help us move into our new houses. And the Lord Himself pays their commissions!

This is tremendously comforting, and it takes much of the intimidation out of the move. The primary Scripture teaching on this comes from the lips of Christ Himself. In describing the beggar Lazarus in Luke 16, Jesus said, "So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom," referring to heaven. Notice that Lazarus wasn't merely escorted to heaven. The angels carried him there.
Death is our most universal and dreaded experience, and even Christians can be apprehensive. But in the Bible, death is never defined as the cessation of life, but as separation. Physical death is the separation of the soul from the body. Spiritual death is being separated from God. Eternal death is being separated from heaven. For the Christian, the separation of soul and body is temporary; and at the resurrection, our eternal souls will be reunited with our glorified bodies.

Interesting...and thank you for the link.
You may have seen me post before that the night my dad died, we had four angles in our bedroom...and when I tried to look into my dads bedroom ( because I was thinking :- "Goodness, if we have four angels in here, how many has my dad got in there!! " ) But I was aware of things being busy in there...but there was a bright white glory cloud in there and I could see nothing.

I have a friend who told me that when she walked into her mothers hospital room ( knowing she was dying) ..she saw and angel standing either side of her mothers bed at the head. Like me, she was then very aware that her mother was soon going soon.
It gives so much peace.
Yes, I believe strongly in angel escorts.

Love your testimony....it really supports what Billy Graham was saying!

John 5:19-29

She's already raised and in heaven,she will return with Christ

I Thessalonians 4:13 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope."

After Paul told the Thessalonians to live right in the community, and search their souls for sin in their lives, they were then to repent of any sin. Paul moved next to what happens when death comes to this flesh body. This topic is important to Paul, for it is the stabilizing factor to the Christian life. It removes the fear that comes from the unknown of ones death. Paul gives this information for one reason, and that is, that we not be ignorant as the heathen are. In other words, Paul doesn't want Christians stupid.

This concern is over "them which are asleep". The concern is over the loved ones that have died and left them, and their decaying bodies are out there in their grave. Paul is saying for us not to be sorry about those Christians who are dead and gone, for that is the concern of the heathen. The heathen's fear comes from their ignorance of God's word, and His promises. The heathen have no hope, for they believe it's over at the burial.

I Thessalonians 4:14 "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

If we believe, as a Christian, that Christ set the example for us; so that we will follow as He did, in dying, and rising again, then "to sleep" is to be dead from the flesh body. The Greek is a simple language, for it's structure allows one to be more precise. The subject in the frame of this verse is; "that ye not be ignorant as to where the dead are." If you're a Christian, you know and believe that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and on the third day arose and came out of the tomb. If you do not believe this, Paul classifies you as ignorant, and heathen [non-believer].

It was on the fortieth day that he ascended back to the Father. When Jesus ascended into heaven, all the souls went with him into heaven also, that had passed on, up to that point in time. The souls of some went to wait for that time of judgment, while others to the glory of God. Those that sleep [are dead] are not out there in a hole in the ground, but all Christians must believe that they arose to be with the Father, just like Christ did also. The dead are with God; all of them. "To be absent from the body [flesh body] is to be present with the Lord." Ecclesiastes 12:7.

Regardless what chapter nine of Ecclesiastes says concerning the flesh body; when this flesh body is dead, the soul is gone from it, and the flesh is left to rot. It is difficult to see how they made a "rapture theory" out of this, when the subject is, "where are the dead?" So we see that when one dies, his soul goes immediately to be with our Heavenly Father. If you believe this, you are not heathen.

Bull. Why lie to the guy? She's still in the grave, just like everyone else that's ever died. If she believed, she'll be resurrected one day.

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

Great verses there!

(PS: is that last quote really from Ecclesiastes? I recall it as New Testament...)

Are you serious?Guess you are.
Mosses and Elijah appeared with Christ,take it they still in the grave according to you.The flesh is done with at death or the 2nd coming ,which ever comes first

So let's go deeper with your scripture quote

No man, no one goes to heaven, but that he first was born from above. That soul must first be born of women, where the soul entered the womb at conception, and when the flesh body dies, it is returned to the father. There is not a living being on this earth, that did not come down from the Father first, and at death shall return to the Father. That is just plain common sense.

This doesn't mean that they are all going to have eternal life, but heaven is where the Father is, and that is where the judgment takes place. But what is meant here is in reference to obtaining salvation for their soul, or eternal life. All souls return to the Father, and many of those that do return will be condemned to destruction. The judgment takes place at the time of the great white throne judgment. Until that time, those sinning souls will stay right there in paradise where there is a great gulf between God and the sinning soul This is stated in the parable of the rich man, in Luke 16. There has been no soul destroyed to this date, that has passed on after death.

Christ did exactly what we did,came down from heaven,we all came from heaven
