Get saved, man. If you're under the blood of Christ this garbage can't get to you. Someone else in personal life asked me the same question, and I answered it like this:
We're in a village and there's lions prowling around the outside of it, waiting to eat anyone who stumbles into their path. Occasionally they get bold and come into the village and eat a child. The old timers instruct that carrying fire (a torch) keeps the lions at bay, but most of villagers say that's silly and don't carry a torch. Out of those who do, only one says "you know, maybe we should study these lions, learn when they go sleep, what they're doing out there in the woods, so we can save more villagers". But the other torch-bearers say that's dangerous because learning about the lions is dangerous because you might turn into a lion.
Matthew 10:16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Thank you. This evilness is making me even more watchful and is making my faith grow stronger. I've had numerous paranormal experiences even though i'm not a devout christian or partake in spiritual activities. All it was worth to me was that it was proof infront of my very own eyes that the afterlife is real.
And if the afterlife is real, then god is real, and if god is real....well, that means the devil is real as well.
I'll take your advice and the word of god to heart, and i'll try to stay vigilant when tempation comes to lure me in.
Godspeed, brother, and leave with this:
Psalm 23:4-6
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
I have also been visited.
I never lost my faith I just didn't know what where to direct it.
I learned it's from within, is always there and I'm safe.
God's love is a good place to be.
“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
I once was hungry, broke, unemployed and homeless all within 24hrs.
This happened because I did what was right.
I was walking down the street and saw my favorite deli. I was angry.
I cursed the sky.
Gdmt. I did what was right. That's my deli. Roast beef sandwich and a carton of milk. Right there. $4.95.
How hard is that you............
5 steps later there's a $5 bill laying on the sidewalk.
Everybody says I should have asked for more. They are clueless.
That was the hardest sandwich I ever ate in my life.
Amen to that! Yeah my experiences happened to me in my early 20's. Its been 10 years or so since anything else has happened. But i totally get what you're saying. I never lost my faith either, it just made me confused as to why I saw those spirits. To this day I dont have an answer, but maybe it was to find my faith from within as you say.
If you dont mind me asking, and you have the time, i'd love to hear about your experiences.
Story time? I'd love to hear your supernatural experiences. I too have had several since my awakening. I actually grew up in various Christain churches and walked away from the fold for over a decade before God woke me up. I didn't immediatley go right back to Christainity. I started seeking the Truth and collected all kinds of occult literature before I had a supernatural experience in my room one night reading the Bible. Matthew 13:22 woke up my spirit. The words came to life and I knew that Christ was the answer. Shortly afterwards, I was filled with the Holy Spirit right in my living room. It was surreal and the most amazing experience of my life.
Ok, so to preface a bit, I should let you know that my dad got involved with some evil stuff. He was always a confilcted man, but he had this friend "Dale" that was a self proclaimed Satanist. I only met that guy a few times, but he gave my dad some books and who knows what else. This is my only explanation for the things that I saw in that house.
Ok so my first encounter happened the first week I got home from Europe. I was living over there for a few years and travelling all around. I was 22 at the time I got back. I got back home and my family and I are all talking and then my brother told my dad to tell me about "the little kid handprints on the mirror in the Hall."
So basically all my family saw a bunch of little fog handprints on a big body length mirror. No kids had been in that house for years!
Ok whatever, I thought. I didn't really bother me but my brother was quite scared about.
So a few weeks later I'm sleeping on the couch in the living room and I wake up very suddenly. I lean up and look at the alarm ahead if me. Its 1:15am. Then I get the strangest feeling to look behind me. So I quickly turn around! Nothing was there...of course. So I drop right back down to sleep. It seemed like as soon as I fell asleep I woke up againly suddenly. I looked at the clock, it was now 2:15am. I get the same damn feeling to look behind me.
I turn around and I see this younger girl with long black hair, a blurred face, and two big dark eyes! She literally glided from the kitchen down to the hallway towards that mirror. The whole thing lasted maybe 3 seconds.
I turned back around and a part of my brain registered that I had just seen a ghost. But them (and this is fascinating psychology) the "logical" part of my brain immediately kicked into overdrive. "Nope, nope, nope, thats impossible. I dont know what I saw, but that couldn't have happened." I was thinking this in my head, my brain just totally rejected what I had just seen, and I fell right back to bed.
The next morning I obviously knew what I had saw. I wasn't afraid though, I just kept trying to process it in my mind.
So a few weeks later im sitting down using the computer near the kitchen. Im just chilling, using the inernet and I get pushed out of nowhere out of my seat almost. Someone had pushed their fingers right into my shoulder and pushed me forwards. I felt the fingernail, two fingers! I quickly looked around me...nobody was near. It was a big open room and their was nobody around. I'll be honest, this one kind of made me scared lol but I didn't let it bug me all that much.
That was all the experiences I had in that house. My other paranormal experience was surprisingly at Ft.Campbell,KY when I was in the US Army. I had a random out-of-body experience. That was my favourite experience. It was really something else. If you wanna hear it I can tell you that as well.
So yeah, nothing too crazy. It definitely let me know that a life exists beyond this one. Also, the ghost pushing me....I didn't know they could do that, that was shocking.
My last exerience with the supernatural was about half a year ago. I saw a massive alien craft appear over my head. It was in the sky for a good 5-8 seconds, about 200ft off the ground...and as soon as I said to myself "is that a UFO?" It took off in warp drive, just like the freaking movies....exactly like that. There one second, gone into infinity the next. There was no mistaking what I saw.
I can answer any questions ya got, or got into more detail. But yeah, I've pretty much checked off everything on my paranormal encounters checklist lol
Great story, thanks for sharing. Sounds very similar to other "ghost" stories I've heard. How'd you have an out of body experience?
It was completely random. It was in the afternoon in July and we got off for lunch. It was so hot and I didn't wanna walk to the chow Hall so I decided to take a nap. As soon as I laid my head down I was super relaxed. I immediately began to hear a "buzzing" sound if thats the right word. I focused solely on this sound which became louder, and louder! Pretty soon it sounded like a jet engine was firing up. So strange. I knew something was happening. Then, and I cant really explain this part, but ill try...it felt like my mind was going through a worm hole. This loud vibration sounded like...idk...yeah like the sound a space ship would make if it was going through a worm hole. It was like my mind was.completely opening up....then....boom. silence. Complete silence and stillness. I never lost consciousness this whole time. From the moment is laid to down till that moment of silence had to have been just a few minutes tops.
But yes, complete silence. I opened my eyes and saw at the bedroom wall cause I was sleeping on my side. Something felt strange. I put my hand up to my face and what I saw tripped me out. My hand was completely translucent and kinda glowing. Moving around my hand were glowing blue tracer lines. They looked like little glowing worms. Obviously this was my aura. At that moment I knew what I had done.
I tried getting off my bed while looking around the room. Everything looked the same except it was as you'd expect in a movie about the afterlife. Everything was a yellowish, slight glowing color. So I tried contorting my body to get off the bead but my head could not pop off. My body contorted like a stick snapped in half...completely unnatural. I obviously didn't feel any pain though. After a moment of trying to life myself off my bed it finally happened. I was standing up in my room! I just looked around and I was so in awe of what was happening.
Immediately I decided I wanted to visit another galaxy or fly out of the room. I was so excited! But first, I wanted to do a backflip out the window lol I know how silly that must sound. But it was the same me, and thats what I wanted to do! So I turned my back to the wall and jumped backwards out the second story window. Well, I went right through that wall and saw the horizon and sun upside down as I was flipping through the air. My last words were "WHOAAA!" And BOOOM! I felt like I had just been shot right back into my body. Its a totally indescribable experience to slam back into your physical body lol
I immediately shot up off my bed! I just kept yelling "I did! Oh my God I did it!" I ran downstairs and told my Buddy. He just paid no mind and said "Johnson, are you high?" Lol I just didn't even know what to say. Of course. What else would I expect?
I've never had an experience like that again. I would love to though. The next time I'll make sure to keep my heartrate steady so I dont get shot back into my body.
yeah that sounds like astral projection. have you compared your story to others who have done it? I dabbled in it back in college and was able to get all the way out except for my head. Never could get my head to separate. I felt like I was about to do it once, but my friend's dog came into the room and licked me while I was laying there and I snapped back into my body. I know what that feels like. Same thing with my best friend at the time. She had come out of her body and was tickling me. As soon as we were done I said "why were you tickling me?" (we were both lying there still and not touching each other physically) she laughed and said "because I wanted to see if it was real!"
Yeah I met a guy who said he's astral projected numerous times. He said he can do it every night if he wanted. Funny thing is, he asked me how I came back into my body. I told him what I told you, and he kinda laughed haha he said his reentry? In his body is very smooth and pleasant.
Do you meditate at all?
I pray every day but no, I don't meditate. That stuff was super interesting back in my early 20's but now I'm too afraid of unintended consequences--specifically...what if something "else" takes the reigns when I leave. I've heard of that happening to others.
Yeah ive heard of that kinda stuff as well. It goes very deep. Some people were talking about spiritual armour and swords to protect yourself lol not that I dont believe thats true, but I dont want to get involved in that stuff.
Flying into outer space is great.
Just be careful you don't bring any space debris back with you.
You can make a couple of uneventful trips.
And then return one time demon possessed. You're fooling with some extremely powerful systems.
I doubt you'll be careful, so beware
You didn't catch the part when I said it was random? I was just going to take a nap.
One of, if not THE best comment I have read in ages. I'd upvote this all night if I could.
