No need for this, as the BEst selling book every year states the same thing!
(One can skip to the end to find out...)
Probably like this:
John 6:28-29
Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
1 John 3:21-24
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
Not necessarily.
The 'action' just needed to be explained a bit more fully.
We can always fall back on reading tea leaves - or entrails...

How would one recognize having an attempt made to communicate with them by the spirit world?
I’m sorry you don’t believe me, but you weren’t there. I was. I know it was my friend’s spirit by what was said and how the medium described him.
What I can’t understand is if Christians believe there is a heaven, why is communication with those in heaven impossible?
The love, understanding, communication, and signs are there for those open to them. They still watch over us.
you 'know' nothing of the kind.
Why do you think they are called LYING spirits?
The BIBLE says NOT to try to communicate with the dead.
CHRISTIANs don't.
This was a wonderful article. Thank you.
Awesome that you have the ability to know if others know stuff. Keep up the good work
There's a LOT of it going around.
Yeah, I was gonna comment on that, as well.
Don’t mess with spirit communication.
Ghosts, UFOs, paranormal - if you’re of a biblical worldview, you know all those things come from Satan and his “angels”.
I just got scolded for this...

“I know it was my friend’s spirit by what was said and how the medium described him.”
Having read extensively about how Houdini traveled the world exposing mediums as FAKE, revealing their tricks, showing how they deceive, etc., I doubt it was him - regardless of how it felt or looked.
Here is the definitive book that shows how it is done...

15 or so years ago, a strip mall went up in flames in Nashville, In - a day or so before Christmas.
Now this little town in Brown County Indiana is quaint in it’s tourist attractions.
N. Van Buren street is a MAJOR artery into town and this fire REALLY messed up the pre-Christmas shoppers getting there.
As we lived only a few miles away, we decided, after dinner on Christmas, to drive over to see the damage.
The debris was still steaming in places when I noticed a Fortune Telling shop nearby.
I would have thought those folks would have warned the others of the impending doom.
Spirits should be tested before being believed, of course. Is what they urge you to do or what they assert to you, consonant with the Holy Word? If so, that’s a sign of a good angel or the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, they are evil....
Some fortune tellers are fakers with nothing but furnishing entertaining make-believe to customers on their minds, and others are in express league with the devil. Anyhow none of the shoppers asked them, I suppose....
