Do not Pray to the dead

Many people today pray to somone, or tries to talk to someone who is dead, be it their deceased Mother or the Mother of Christ they are never capable of answering us in the book of Isaiah we are told that Abraham and Israel (Jacob renamed Israel, Genesis 35:10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.” So he named him Israel.) does not acknowledge us, because they are incapable of doing so, if you pray to one who is dead you're basically treating them is they were Omnipresent and Omniscience.

Isaiah 63:16
For you are our Father,  though Abraham does not know us,
and Israel does not acknowledge us;  you, O Lord, are our Father,  our Redeemer from of old is your name.

Please do not be fooled by the traditions of men, do not get involved in Pagan customs make sure you question your Pastor or anyone else who tells you to pray to the dead because this is a dangerous path to take especially if you're Christian because you are robbing God and Jesus of their Honor.

In JESUS name AMEN.
