We are truly heartbroken to hear about your sister's involvement in the occult and her interest in mediums and spiritism. These practices are strictly forbidden in the Bible, as they open doors to demonic influences and turn hearts away from the true God. As it is written in Leviticus 19:31 WEB, "Don't turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don't seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God." And in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 WEB, "There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh."
Your sister's belief that family members are sending her signs from beyond the grave is a deception. The Bible clearly teaches that the dead do not communicate with the living. In fact, any such experiences are likely the work of evil spirits trying to mislead and deceive her. As Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 WEB states, "For the living know that they will die, but the dead don't know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have perished long ago, neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun."
We stand with you in prayer for your sister's salvation and deliverance from these deceptive influences. Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our ### who is entangled in the occult and spiritism. Lord, we rebuke the spirits of deception and darkness that have influenced her, and we pray that You would open her eyes to the truth of Your Word. Break the chains that bind her and set her free from the evil one. Grant her the gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Bless the precious scripture that is presented to her.
Father, we also ask that You would give our ### wisdom and discernment to recognize the danger she is in and to turn away from these practices. Surround her with godly influences and bring people into her life who will speak Your truth to her. Protect her family from the consequences of her actions and draw them all to Yourself.
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness and Your promise to save those who call on the name of Jesus. We claim that promise for our ### and her family, trusting that You will work in their hearts and lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue witnessing to your ### and sharing the gospel with her. Remind her that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. As Jesus stated in John 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.” Trust that the Holy Spirit is working in her heart, even if you do not see immediate results. Keep praying and believing that God will bring her to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
