^ When I first started this thread I was on a high with the Lord and very close with him reading my Bible every day and constantly in prayer. The experiences I encountered that started my search for similarly experienced believers were at their most prominent at church in worship or prayer at home. I was a little confused about it as it was uncommon however really enjoyed how I was experiencing my faith.
Something eventually shattered my faith and broke it all. The thing that destroyed it was random strangers in this forum insisting it was caused by demons because they just “knew” it. A layer of guilt and self doubt appeared where it never existed before and where I was experiencing a close relationship with God I began questioning my faith and who was involved. Guilt and doubt replaced prayer and i began feeling unworthy to be in the presence of God. As a result, I chose to stay away.
In the same way we can neither prove or disprove God exists how can we then declare a total stranger on the net is possessed or influenced by demonic activity and prove it for sure as fact? We cannot, and I would realise this later how damaging it can be when it is said. I then started to keep to myself more receding from Christian fellowship and trying to undo the damage myself which has not been particularly successful.
I have had success in a medical search for answers. Visiting a neurologist that was a Lecturer at a University and also my doctor I asked him about it. Curious about the possibility of energy fields extending beyond our body I asked him about it and he said our brains extend beyond our head and what I was asking about exists around our bodies. Why could we not then in times of heightened spirituality become more aware of this where normally in our businesses of life we don’t notice it? If at a time in your life it is noticed does that make it evil? You’ll have to draw conclusions about that according to your own faith walk.
Other cultures and their religions have noted this too and explored it in their own way in much quieter lives than we have now. Chinese acupuncture, QI, reiki and some eastern religions have also noted this phenomenon and included it into their religions and medicines. Once again if different cultures have tried to explain unusual sensations in different ways does that make it inherently anti Christian or evil if a believer experiences symptoms with similarities to their observations just because they have written something about it. In saying that I do caution pursuing answers in alternate religions for what God gives us as I think you just end up confused, it may be easier just to accept what God gives us and trust it.
My conclusion now is if somebody is experiencing sensations they are not used to in times of heightened spiritual activity it may just be nothing more than a harmless awareness of something in the human energy field or other available senses you weren’t previously in tune with.
Even now I still can see a weird haze around people, and sense energy with my hands I never used to. Is it useful for anything, no! Is it harmful? Not unless I tell someone and they think I am crazy or demon possessed which doesn’t enhance our relationship for me.
If the lord has blessed you with a good experience and your walking closely even if a little different just enjoy it.
I hope that helps one of you guys anyway.
Blessings.
