Ghosts and Ghosts

in Hive Learners3 years ago

The topic about the existence of supernatural beings will always remain a controversial one. Some people choose to believe that things like spirits and ghosts do not exist while other strongly believe it does. Some had even gone as far as telling us stories about their personal encounter with things or people they felt weren’t human and could only be described as nothing else but supernatural.

I remember seeing a lot of YouTube videos where people had in some instance mistakenly taken pictures or videos of supernatural beings. Some of these beings they call angels and the likes but then, if those things were really angels, wouldn’t they be invincible to cameras or you want to tell me that angels which according to the Bible, moves faster than speed itself can be captured by a camera?

I doubt that.

But like I said, this is a controversial issue that even I myself sometimes sit on the fence when it’s been discussed but then if you’re a Nigerian or you live in Nigeria then surely you must have heard one story or another that had to do with people having personal experience with some ghost or spirits or something that is simply out of this world.

I’ve heard a lot of stories myself, unfortunately all we hear are stories and we never encounter these things ourselves (not like I want to) or know someone close to us who did, we just hear stories about people faraway.

I remember the closest anything supernatural had happened to someone I know was when my grandmother died. A certain man of God who I do not know (he’s a friend of my dad) had called my dad and told him that my grandmom just told him to pray for my aunt. When my dad asked him when she did, he replied that she just left his home not quite too long ago and that was when my dad told him that his mom was dead.

I remember eavesdropping as my dad told my mom the story and then the only thought that crossed my mind was that my aunt must have been really stubborn (or probably a witch) for her dead mom to rise up from the dead and go ask a pastor to pray for her.

Well aside from that event, I doubt anyone close to me had had an experience with a supernatural being or maybe they have, they just haven’t told me yet.

So what do you guys think, do you believe that ghosts and spirits exist?

Sort:  

I actually do. I think they are something that we just don't know about yet and maybe in the future science can explain that.

I believe because I have seen them, not only in my dreams, buy fully awake. My grandfather comes to me often and we have great conversations. I am not clairvoyant, but I seem to know lots of things before they happen. Some call these coincidences because it makes them feel comfortable rather than what it really might be.

I believe that not just anybody can experience stuff like this, but some people are more sensitive in that area.

You really feel science can explain it?

I thought those two don't like each other, science and supernatural stuff..

I think that there is an explanation for everything. Then we wouldn't call those phenomenons supernatural anymore though. Our science just isn't that advanced yet. But I do think that even when we cannot understand something, doesn't mean that's not real.

Hmm okay. I do feel science can't explain all though.

I am one of those people that is skeptical but open to listening to peoples' stories. As long as they're not asking me for money to tell me they can contact my late relative. My Mom told me that after her Mom died she had a dream and her mother was at the foot of the bed trying to tell her something. My Mom has been gone almost two years now and she died in the house where I grew up and moved back to last year. I can feel her presence here sometimes. But I haven't seen her at all.

You feel her presence? Wow

Isn't that scary?

Not really, actually. It's kind of comforting to know that her spirit is still in the house where she raised me and my 3 sisters and lived almost 60 years of her life. She passed away a few months shy of her and my father's 60th Wedding Anniversary. Enjoy your weekend, @prayzz. 😀

Wow.. I really don’t know how I would feel if it were me but good to know you’re not scared.

Thanks for the token

I understand, @prayzz I thought something like that would feel scary too earlier in my life. Have a great day and You're very welcome. 😀

We for sure have spirits and are having an "experience" here. What we are and where we are are the big questions the controllers don't want us asking!

The controllers??

That means you believe there is a higher power somewhere?

Those promoting the agenda on TV, the media.

Energy is never destroyed. It only transforms.

If you take into account that the smallest part matter is made of contains electricity, then it is safe to asume that after we're "gone," that electricity got to find a new circuit to go to.

We just gotta shine so we go to a brighter circuit.

Idk if this make any sense 😂 it does for me.

A human consists of three parts: body, soul and spirit.

Body is physically made in the womb, the physical attributes are a person's body, their "mind", represented by the HEART.

Soul is given at conception It's the essence and nature of a person is their soul their "self". A "selfish person" is called a SOULISH person, always satisfying the desires of their own flesh first. It's represented by the STOMACH (afflicting your soul is fasting).

Spirit is the motivation of a person, their "drive" or "passion". A familiar spirit is given at a persons FIRST breath from exiting the womb, from the people present at the birth. A familiar spirit is removed or maintained based on a persons way of living - unrepentant sinners will eventually attract unclean spirits (demons) with their familiar spirit and if welcomed, beget wickedness generation after generation. However the repentant will forsake their familiar spirit (and unclean spirits) and accept a measure of the Holy Spirit and live a transformed life in obedience to the Creator.

When a person dies, the body is physically destroyed, soul is put into "storage" (sheol), while the spirit returns to it's source - either wandering in the wilderness, occupying animals, seeking a new host... or the measure of the Holy Spirit is returned to God.

At the judgment, bodies are restored, souls are put back in place from storage (sheol) and the spirit is reserved for after the judgement. It is given based on the judgement - the unrepentant are condemned and assigned their familiar and/or unclean spirits and are destroyed in the lake of fire, the second death. The repentant and regenerated are restored the measure of the Holy Spirit, but in greater quantities, they are saved for an "eonian" life lived in holiness as part of the restoration of all things, the Reign of God.

This is why Yeshua proclaimed "Repent, the Reign of God is near."

I believe that what we call "ghosts" are the wandering spirits that are not from the Most High God. They have many memories and personalities of various people they have possessed, they roam around looking for someone willing to open themselves up to possession. They coordinate and conspire together to created a depraved world, operating in secret and manifesting in world systems, "education" and governments.

Everybody has a measure of the Holy Spirit reserved for those who are made clean and ask for it - this is the only way to remain untainted by unclean spirits, being occupied with Holiness by the Spirit from God. Too many people either grieve the Spirit, or reject the Spirit, or are unrepentant and incompatible with the Spirit, so they are opened up to "ghosts" and demons that occupy that open space.

It's not enough to simply avoid "ghosts", they will find anyone who is willing to be occupied with them and they will have influence in a person's life.

Wow this was long 😅

Well if there are indeed wandering spirits then it means that there are ghosts.

I believe they do exist, even though have not experienced it personally but have heard of some cases like that where someone that has been confirmed dead in a particular place will be seen in another location.

Anyways I don't pray I witness such, cus if I should find out that the person I saw maybe yesterday or today is a ghost...hmmm that's sleepless night oo

There will always be things that cannot be explained. Are some or all caused by the supernatural? Who knows.

True.
