In
Part One: God Is A Spirit: My Out Of Body Experience
Since the fall of
Adam and Eve, we have been living under a curse
of deceit with Satan and his cohorts
fighting every good thing in our lives.
The world is full of negative spirits.
Our battles with each
other are really our battles with the influences of negative spirits. Most of the time, we fail to realize this but
this is a spiritual war between the good and the bad. We are fighting against the ugliness of
deceit and sin (negativity), which will result in death if we buy into it. We
have to choose which way we want to live and we have to choose whether we want
to have a relationship with the God that created everything and everyone.
Apostle
Paul wrote this to the Christians at Corinth: But I thank God, who always leads
us in victory because of Christ. Wherever we go, God uses us to make clear what
it means to know Christ. It's like a fragrance that fills the air. To God we
are the aroma of Christ among those who are saved and among those who are
dying. To some people, we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a
life-giving fragrance. Who is qualified to tell about Christ? At least we don't
go around selling an impure word of God like many others. The opposite is true.
As Christ's spokesmen and in God's presence, we speak the pure message that
comes from God. 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 [1]GWT
Remember that your
victorious life is via God,
and not through anything else.
Your
successes are made via His abilities in you.
We are nothing without Him but dust.
Sure it seems like we are in control but we will never be in
control. At the drop of a dime, death
comes and we can never stop it. It is
not up to us. According to the word of God in the book of Acts, …we have life
and motion and existence in Him…Take a look at this verse: For in Him we have
life and motion and existence; as certain of your verse writers have said, For
we are His offspring. Acts 17:28 [2]BBE I love the Weymouth New Testament
translation: For it is in closest union with Him that we live and move and have
our being; as in fact some of the poets in repute among yourselves have said,
'For we are also His offspring.' Acts 17:28 [3]WEY
Yes I love that verse, let me repeat this portion, “…it is in closest union
with Him that we live and move and have our being…” This means that from the beginning of our
creation, we have existed via God. We
can build multiple spacecraft and take all the trips to space and beyond in
them for centuries, but God has to release us from our physical bounds to truly
see and experience the universe and all of its’ cosmic splendor. It is a spiritual thing therefore physically
with these bodies we can never truly grasp the magnitude of God and His power
over the universe.
In 2007, I experience
an out-of-body episode.
I was lying on my bed
when my spirit floated out of my body
and zoomed through the sky to the heavens.
My spirit floated through space and it was
incredible. It floated though out the
stars and planets in our universe. The experience was exhilarating, indescribable
and I absolutely loved it. As, I stated
earlier, “It is
a spiritual thing, therefore, physically with these bodies we can never truly
grasp the magnitude of God and His power over the universe.” My spirit floated out of my body zipped
around in the heavens and later returned to my body and I felt myself leave and
return. I share this from time to time
with my family and friends but I often wonder if they believe that I imagined it? I understand how it feels to know that you
experienced something as grand as that out-of-body episode but there is no way
to prove it.
God knows and my
spirit knows that I experienced it. As a
Christian, you have to trust God. The religion of Christianity
is based on faith and God is our faith. It
is by the grace of God that we are given the power to choose to serve Him. Apostle
Paul said: Even so then at this present
time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works:
otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more
grace: otherwise work is no more work. What then? Israel hath not obtained that
which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were
blinded (According to as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber,
eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this
day. Romans 11:5-8 KJV
