Why I Stopped Talking to the Dead

The last several days I have awoken with messages from above…

Part of that guidance was to reduce my prices to be more aligned with the Divine energies.

Another part of that guidance was to be honest with you about something.

Many of you have asked why I stopped doing medium sessions. I want you to know the truth, cuz I’ve been skirting around it.

Back in May I had something completely amazing happen to me… but it also upended my reality (for more info, visit my post “Saved” at https://www.rebeccacostello.com/post/saved) as I was told by God to stop doing mediumship readings immediately. I was being called to align my life in the way the Creator wants and I think He lost patience with me.

The work I have done for over 30 years really took a toll on my health. And over the last 10 years I have been fighting a war in my own home with a beast of 4 letters (PTSD).

What I never spoke about is how I received several messages from Above and from several others, that this work would eventually “kill me”, and I knew what they were getting at. I knew I would need to make a change… “eventually”.

Eventually...

The sleepless nights got me.

The missing bodies I searched for would torment me until they were found.

The nightmares that casued me to be afraid to go to sleep.

My body ached constantly and failed me so many times.

The countless surgeries… even once having to have my esophagus stretched because it narrowed so much I felt I was being choked.

The heaviness and pain people saw in my eyes embarrassed me.

My husband said it best when he said, “You can’t heal it if you work in it every day”.

And he was right.

Death was my trauma. My personal life has been surrounded in death since I was 13 or 14.

And I made death my work because I wanted to help others who were grieving because I knew the devastation and I found no resolution (and fell into addiction instead). I thought this work would give my pain purpose… and it did. Until it didn’t.

For me to be good at talking to the dead, I had to be in the darkness of death, and I lost a part of myself in it.

I thought cutting back and charging what I was told to charge would “balance out the energy”.

Nope. I fell further into addiction instead. It’s funny how you justify food and spending addiction.  

There is a heaviness that comes from feeling the grief of others to the degree that I do (meaning what you feel becomes mine). Finally, Source pulled the plug and told me why I felt the way I did.

Over the years I asked God, “If I am doing your work, why am I struggling so much”?

What I did not know is that Spiritual gifts get hijacked by darker energies. I bet you didn't know that either.

We don't always fight flesh and blood but rather, invisible powers and principalities.

For almost 30 years I was working in the darkness of life.

In May, God said, “No More”.

The darkness was taken out of my heart, and it was filled with a light that others have actually commented on when they saw me after this happened. I looked lighter and brighter and a genuine smile returned to my face.

I didn’t realize that a relationship with God came with a “before and after” affect.

My goal in all of these years has been the same… the help ease your heart and mind.

This goal to help others will never change. It simply evolves.

What I have Come To Realize-

We try to go at life alone. We do not know there is a Head Honcho upstairs who is there waiting for us to ask for help.

We cannot be present anymore. We are so filled with worry and preoccupation with things that are so shallow we neglect those who really need us. We scroll instead of remembering what someone else may be going through.

We waste time trying to prove ourselves to win approval from people whose opinions honestly won’t matter at all in the long run.

This world is run by the devil. Period.

But The Creator equipped us for it… and we don’t even know it!!

I always thought my gifts were from Above, but I didn’t know they could be hijacked by the evil one. Hence, where the suffering came in.

The Gifts We Are Equipped With-

Words of Wisdom:

Spirit given insight or practical application of divine truth for a specific situation

Ex-when a person is facing a seemingly impossible crisis and suddenly receives a divinely guided practical solution that points others towards peace.

Words of Knowledge:

Supernatural revelation of facts or understanding that comes from Above.

Ex- receiving unknown facts about a hidden struggle, illness or personal detail that a person could not know through natural means

Faith: unwavering trust in God that inspires steadfast belief no matter what

Ex- a supernatural sense of confidence that inspires others and brings about a deep unshakeable peace during crisis or uncertainty

Gifts of Healing: a special grace given to certain people to minister physical, emotional or spiritual healing to the sick and hurting

Ex- a person who can sit with someone who is deeply hurting, using profound empathy to lift years of unforgiveness and despair

Working of miracles: divine power manifested through a person to alter natural law for God’s glory

Ex- the story of Ema McKinley who was badly injured and hunched over in a wheelchair for 20 years who’s body straightened out overnight completely baffling doctors.

Prophesy: the ability to hear a message from Above and speak it to others to encourage, edify or comfort others

Ex- speaking a word or truth that addresses someone’s hidden struggles pointing them towards peace. It is an encouraging truth from God that leads towards the return of faith.

Discerning of Spirits: the ability to distinguish whether a spiritual influence, action or message is from god, human nature or a dark source

Ex- an online teacher is sharing information and you can feel and know it is not of God and you feel an “inner warning”.

***For those of you who have worked with me, you may understand these gifts and how I use them for your benefit. I am not special… we all have abilities. We just need to understand them and learn to work with them. For those who wanted to learn how to grow your "psychic abilities"... these are the abilities I want you all to learn!!

The Reason for the Price Change:

I was instructed this morning to rearrange the verbiage around the services offered.

I was also told to change my pricing.

The reason for this was to be more “aligned” with the Creator.

Perhaps you have heard of numerology.

Well, the Bible has numbers of it’s own. I didn’t know this! It’s interesting what you learn when you read it outside of the churchianity/religiosity construct. I grew up Catholic and Lutheran… and I don’t feel like I learned a dang thing!

I was told to change my 1-hour price to $100

Of course I have to look the meaning up....

100 is a number of completeness, fullness, divine election and abundance.

It is related to the parable of Jesus leaving the 99 sheep to find the lost one. This parable carries so much meaning to me, that seeing this actually made me cry. I was that lost sheep He found. It means so much to me I have an image of that lost sheep in my home. I want to be that person who helps you be "found" again.

I was told to change my half hour price to $70

70 is a number of completeness, divine order, and full judgement. 7 is spiritual perfection and 10 is completeness and law.

I want to thank all of you who have stayed with me through this journey, who didn't judge me and chose to walk it along side me.

It means so much more than you know.

All I have ever wanted to do is serve.

It is YOU who gives me purpose.

I believe we are all walking each other Home.

Thank you for walking the road with me.

with Love,
