Seeing the dead

[StMark]

Esther,
You are very interested in the supernatural - more than
the average. i've never been visited by the dead but I know
2 people who have in fact there's more to it but I would never
reveal it here. most here would scoff or freaked out. 99% of peope
who can't understand things in the human relm and can't prove
things scientifically, and furthermore are either too frieghtend or
not interested in things beyong this life, will just brush it off as
foolishness.

My grandmother (dad's mom) died when I was six. I have very vague memories of her. When I was 21 I had a very vivid dream. I walked into my house and she was sitting on the stairs. When I saw her we both hugged and were so excited to see each other. Then she said to me "Darcie I met your friend" I replied "I don't have a "friend". (The way she said it intended it was a guy). She answered,"Yes you do." I asked her what his name was, and she answered, "Love".

I told my dad he said "I think your gonna find your Mr. Right soon." Sure enough shortly after I started dating my husband.

My grandfather was cropduster who died in a plane crash...his son...my uncle was working for my dad....my dad gave him the payroll checks to give to the guys for pay cause we were going out of town for the weekend. My dad is driving down the road and hears and sees my papaw who said "Bill will you go check on ****,....will you?" My dad turned around in the road and found him at a video poker machine trying to win the money back...and he was just about to go kill himself....my dad walks up and says"****, come out here you dad sent me to talk to you" and prevented my uncle from committing suicide. My papaw was one to never ask anyone for anything...very stubborn and independant...really affected my dad when that happened cause my dad saw him as a father figure.

My aunt lost her daughter who was severely disabled....she lived until she was around thirty I think....anyways she had really bad cerebral palsy and had to use a walker and later in life only was in a wheelchair....anyways after she died my aunt was devastated and was really depressed....slept all the time...well she had a dream about her daughter where she saw her in heaven and her hair was fixed really nice and everything was made whole....no slurred speech....no palsy....anyways they are sitting there talking and these angels were coming up to her,touching her on the shoulder and saying Hey Christie! *My cousins name* Christie was letting my aunt know that everything was alright that she didnt have to worry....then she lifted up her dress to show her legs that were no longer crippled and told her"And look!I've got pretty legs like aunt Millo now!"Lol. It really helped my aunt recover that dream did.

Do you know someone that this has experienced this?

What do you think this means?

Yes.

I don't know what it means.

It's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me. It was very real and I remember it vividly...except for the message.

OK, i gotta ask, did you deliver the message, and what was the wife's response?

Actually, I received two phone calls this week about this matter.

The spirit realm is as real as the natural.

I do know of a non UPC person that came home one day and saw her deceased MIL sitting on the porch in her rocking chair. She started talking to her. She was also hearing and talking to dead people during the night.

Her husband finally took her to the doctor and in her case, it was due to her hormones being out of balance.

I will say I do not have all the answers to this question.

And of course, there is the debate did Saul actually talk to Samuel or a familiar spirit???

It seems most of these situations reported are from dreams. Dreams very definitely can be from God.

Seeing dead people in your room is a less common experience, I think.

I waited a few weeks to deliver the message. I was afraid of her response, like she would think I was making it up or something.

Imagine my surprise when I found out that the message he gave me is one they'd prearranged several years before.

In that dream, I asked him why he wasn't telling her himself. He said, "You know Francie, she'll want me to stay."

I told her that part too, and she told me that every night, she'd lay in bed and grab the covers on his side of the bed, begging him to come back to her.

There's no way I dreamed this up from prior knowledge because I had none, except that he'd died. The message I gave her I have forgotten, which is strange, since the rest of the dream I remember in great detail, however, the message I gave was explicit in detail, and I remember it was something I didn't understand, like it didn't make sense to me or anything, which might be why I've forgotten it.

I should probably mention that they were both Apostolic and saved. I can't imagine the devil giving me that message for her, as others have insinuated in posts above. If it were the devil, seems to me that he'd have just went to her himself...LOL! And why would the devil care anyway???

Yeah, slightly!
