My seven year old is an intense child. With an incredible sense of correctness, he is artistic and creative. One evening he looked at me very seriously and asked who the woman in his head was that spoke to him. She said he told him to do things. I inquired what things and he looked perplexed and said good things. I told him not to worry. It was probably just an angel. That he did not have to speak to her if he did not feel safe doing so. Was I Wrong to do so?

It may be the voice of God he is hearing as he speaks in a small still voice.He may sound like a woman because his voice is so gentle.I'm not sure angels talk to us,so I cannot tell you if you are right or wrong.Be sure to lead your son to God as he may be gifted spiritually,and God says in revelations he will speak to young men and give dreams and visions.He may have a prophetic gift,seek God first and you will know how to teach your son.Please so not listen to all the stuff being said about mental illness and such things.Protect your son from people that will say such things,you do this through prayer.There are many who have been considered insane when they are merely spiritually aware of things that others are not.Do not let anyone label him,you are an authority in his life get yourself to a church where the gifts from God are practiced and not shunned.Check out John Paul Jacksons web site.Your son will be in my prayers and you as well.

I too have an intense young boy with an extreme artistic talent. If he told me such a thing, I would tell him to ask Jesus to talk to him instead and just ingore the woman's voice--whether good or bad. This is the beginnings of spiritism and always starts "good", but gradually leads to error, then more spiritism until the loss of consciessness of God and His Word.
The Bible calls these "familiar spirits" and can come in the guise of angels, Mary, a lady at Lourdes, Fatima, etc. It is spiritism and needs to be dealt with on a spiritual level.
Get your boy interested in the things of the Bible. This will give him weapons for spiritual warfare. He also needs a parent that is strong in the Lord as well as being well versed in the Word of God. This can be very serious. You can write me if you wish.

it's a credit to you that the child had to courage to speak with you and that you kept an open mind... but there are things out there that are very scary.. things that doctors can't help you with... he seems sensitive... many of us who are sensitive are going through some hard times... just listen for what he says and reason with him, angels keep him feeling safe... sometimes it's good to prevent him from getting scared... keeping emotions sound is a mother's job... even if it's not always the truth it's good to keep the communication open and guide him in sound judgement... keep him away from religion if at all possible there is a lot of confusing messages and battles everyone wants to be right it' just opens doors for internal wars.... there is changes in the spirit going on it can cause confusion.. so you want him to grow in the direction of stability...

Is this an imaginary person or does he perceive that he can really hear her? Does she have a name, what does she say, etc. get to know "this friend" and write it all down!!
Take to a good Bible based pastor. Talk to a good psychologist,
Early paranoid schizophrenic has talking voices, or could be an angle, or could be other. Check it out asap.

NOT AT ALL. Your child still has the ability and pureness to see that which adults, teens, and those above 8 cannot see. His eyes can see fairies, gnomes, salamanders (mystic), and the such. I would find someone that would teach him to keep his gift because it could greatly influence his life. Use your child as a medium also so that you can talk to the Angel and learn more yourself. She could advise you even better than anyone here. But also be careful and teach your son the difference between right and wrong so that those who he sees do not influence him to do destructive or even dangerous things.

I don't think you were wrong. However, you should consult counselors. Both spiritual and secular. Research the "counselors" yourself. Know their bias' before accepting their opinions. What are the "good" things the woman asks your son to do? How often does she ask things of him? Could he be lying to you. Is he kind to others?

Did he really say to you good things. :@
You know children when you ask them questions, they give you a long answer saying everything that they've seen heard etc. I'm amazed that he summed it all up to "good things"

I dunno...if you think it's harmless, then it probably is.
but not all spirits are angels. I was once watching 'a haunting' that comes on...the discovery channel? But their autistic child would often play peak a boo with some unseen thing and they thought it was an angel..but really it was a bad spirit.

Hmmm...I guess you handled it the best you could given the situation. I would however, keep tabs on his "relationship" with this voice. While many young children have vivid imaginations....something like this could indicate something a little more serious. I'm not trying to be offensive.

Why would you do that? He may have a very serious mental problem like schizophrenia and you're filling his head with religious crap just because you don't have the answer. You need to take your son to a doctor, not lie to him.
