Where is he now Lord, is he somehow mysteriously with you, how can I be sure? A woman who lives in my street went to a spiritualist after her daughter died and she said it was such a comfort to be in touch with her daughter's spirit. She thinks I should go to the same spiritualist and is sure I could be helped too. I've never thought about doing this before but I feel so desperate. Father, I need some reassurance ... some peace of mind.

My child, I know the pain of all your grief and I will not leave you comfortless, for I am the God of all comfort. Look to me because I am willing to save those who feel lost and I will keep you from despair. I am able to give you the peace of mind which you need at this moment.

Spiritualists are not of me: they are the Devil's agents. They do not confess that Jesus Christ is my Son, your Saviour, nor do they ever seek to follow Him. Instead, they establish themselves as gods and they use the Devil's power to conjure up the spirits of the dead. They offer false hope for what use is there in talking to the dead? The dead are dead but you are alive so what can be gained? Nothing. Spiritualism always causes confusion and confusion is not of me, it is the Devil's tactic. As my Word tells you, you must steer clear of spiritualists. (Exodus 20:3 Leviticus 20:6-8).

Do not grieve as those who have no hope. I tell you plainly that your loved one is safe; his soul is at rest in me and at peace, so take comfort.

I am the Lord your God - the Living God, do not put any other gods before me. Only I am able to give you a hope and a future so look to me and no one else. Pour out your heart to me and feel the warmth of my presence, yes. MY arms are already around you to give comfort and strength for the days ahead.
