Do you guys think that a character following Pharasma, that she would allow him to be a Medium class from the Occultist Adventure book, or should i pick a different god.
Pharasma would probably have no view on mediums. They are being possessed by astral energy that has been shaped into entities by myths and legends, they are not being possessed by souls from the afterlife.

Spacious Soul (Su):
At 18th level, a medium's soul is spacious enough to provide a foothold for his fallen allies, if he so chooses. If one of the allies who participated in the medium's seance that day dies within line of effect and line of sight of the medium, the medium can spend an immediate action to accept that ally's spirit within him. Since the ally inhabits the portion of the medium's soul normally reserved for a spirit, this suppresses the medium's spirit, spirit bonus, and spirit surge abilities as long as the medium maintains this ability. The ally's spirit and the medium share the medium's body and can decide each round on the medium's turn which of them will take the medium's actions for that round. If they don't agree on who should act, they attempt opposed Charisma checks to determine who is dominant for the next hour, and the dominant character decides who acts on each round. The ally's spirit has all the spells and limited use abilities (such as uses of channel energy, ki, and panache) that it possessed at the time of death, but it is incapable of regaining any abilities, points, spells, or uses of abilities it expends. When the ally's spirit acts, it uses the ally's base attack bonus, caster level, and special abilities (such as weapon proficiency), but uses the medium's physical ability scores. If the ally returns to life, this ability immediately ends. Otherwise, the medium can maintain this ability indefinitely. The medium can end this effect as a standard action, though if the ally is unwilling to depart, the medium must succeed at a Will saving throw (DC = 10 + 1/2 the ally's hit dice + the ally's Charisma modifier) or the attempt fails and the ally becomes dominant for 24 hours.
Pharasma doesn't take issue to souls returning to life and aiding the living, she takes issue to perversions of the natural order. If this were not the case, her church would prohibit (or place sanctions on) the resurrection of the dead (which it canonically does not). The Medium is within acceptable boundaries; after all, everybody dies Eventually. Even PCs. It is those who take steps to subvert this on a permanent basis (usually those that seek undeath) that she takes any issue with.

So she would have no problem with that ability, that's good.
1 more question does Spirit Bonus: When you channel a champion, your spirit bonus applies on attack rolls, non-spell damage rolls, Strength checks, Strength-based skill checks, and Fortitude saves. add to my melee, and ranged weapon damage rolls.
Perversions of the natural order are things like undead which have no natural end. They completely remove a soul from the entire normal flow. "Simple" resurrections, raise dead, and so on are perfectly fine. It's probably a good indication that it's wrong if it's an evil necromancy effect.

It does add to your melee and ranged weapon damage rolls, as those are not spells.
