servants, Seek me a

spirit, that I may go to her,
and inquire of her.”
1 Samuel 28:7

God had clearly commanded His

Saul now had little regard for God's
implicit instruction.

“So Saul died, and his
three sons, …”

actually Samuel the prophet?

will be a LYING SPIRIT in the mouth
of all his prophets.’”

“For they are the SPIRITS of DEVILS,
working miracles.”

not of them.”

“The dead KNOW
NOT anything,
neither have they
any more a reward;”

was DEAD; and, behold, I
am alive for evermore …;

earth as it was.”

let me freely speak
unto you of the
patriarch David,”
Acts 2:29

“For David is NOT
ASCENDED into
the heavens.”

Is there anyone
in Heaven now?

archangel, in contending
with the devil, when he
disputed about the body
of Moses …”

bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep
were raised; and coming out of the graves
after His resurrection,”
Matthew 27:52, 53

“they went into the
holy city and
appeared to many.”

come forth!’ And he who had died
came out bound hand and foot with
grave clothes.”

“And the graves were
opened; and many
bodies of the saints
which SLEPT arose.”

“Them also which
SLEEP in Jesus will
God bring with him.”

“Consider and hear
me, O LORD my God;
enlighten my eyes,
lest I sleep the sleep
of death.”

psychics cannot contact
the dead, whom are
they contacting?

“They are the spirits
of devils, working
MIRACLES.”

believe that the spirits of the

their part in the LAKE
which burneth with FIRE
