  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

There are a lot of reasons why. In Ezekiels case, God used it to show him something, maybe God wanted to show you something to pray about. Although, that can only be determined by asking the Lord next time it happens whether its from Him or not.

Lilac,
I think the focus should be on your being grabbed, dragged and growled at. This sounds like demonic activity. I take it you don’t want more experiences of this sort. Try increasing your protective measures before you go to sleep. Pray to Our Father for protection from harm and evil. Rid your environment of demons by commanding them to leave in the name of Jesus. Say The Lord’s Prayer. Of course, if there’s any serious sin in your life, that has to go! It creates an opening for unclean spirits. Talk to your hubby. Pray together. God is stronger!

I am not sure you had an "out of the body" experience when you were grabbed, it seems more likely that a demon manifested into your realm. Out of the body to me means your body stays home and you travel somewhere in your spirit. Anyway, creekwalker is entirely right. You are in spiritual warfare so you must be doing something good for God (or will soon be) in order for such a manifestation to occur. I would plead the blood of Jesus over every room, speaking with your authority in in the name of Jesus to remove any demonic activity. I think that is the area I would study the most too, your authority in the name of Jesus. Greater is He that is in you, then he that is in the world.

Whatever pulled you, literally moved you physically? in the spirit you felt it moved you?

By the way you described it, it sounded like a strong vision, they happen a lot to me when I am about to go to sleep. But if it literally moved you, I’d use my autority to remove it, but I’d ask the Lord if there’s an open door. Either way, when it happens it’s because the Lord let it happen so you could see something that's going on in the spiritual world.

I agree with creekwalker, Richard T, and job3315 it sounds like there's a door open for demonic activity in your life or home. You should shut the door by repenting of all sins and renounce anything involving in a door that's open to evil. John Ramirez has great teachings on spiritual warfare, Praise God. You should look him up on YouTube or Amazon.

I had one of these in my teen days and didn't know Jesus at the time but something wanted me to go with it and I said hell no, without even thinking or knowing Jesus at the time I screamed out to Jesus to help me and puff was back to sleep again and not once ever again in my life it happened again.

So if you are having these take heed these are not demonic in nature, this most likely will happen when we are knowing truth and Jesus and God's word, and the fallen ones demonic in nature in spirit don't want you apart of that.. It's like they want you to be apart of this world and only to this world and for you to know nothing of the Bible/Jesus.

Heaven and Hell are real and even they know it

I wonder if these things aren't bordering on a breaking of the rules for the entities. When I've had similar in the past and prayed specifically for a judgement against the creature/s causing the effects, they and the effects have gone away.

So, when I'm stumped and trying to pinpoint what is going on, I just say the Lord's prayer and it seems to work.

remember one dream vividly (not out of body, like yours)
in the dream, was drowning and totally surrounded by water, nothing else and called out and said
"Jesus" and immediately, wasn't drowning anymore

I think

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

pretty much sums it up nicely.

There have already been said a lot of good responses so far, so I don't know what more to add in here, except for agreeing with others saying you are doing something right.

And the fact of God opening your eyes to the truth during research, something which the enemy doesn't wish to be put out in the open! They don't want darkness to be manifested through the light, so you are clearly being a BIG threat to them!

Keep on going on, and stay strong in the Lord Jesus Christ's authority! Don't let them intimidate you! When you are in Christ, you are much stronger put than them!

I also needed to say this; I suggest that you also put on the whole armour of God on you, physically put on you, saying it as it is written in Ephesians 6:13-17.

I do this everyday, also praying The Lord's Prayer as well as praying for anything else which I deem as important to pray for before starting the day.
