Aibrean, was it that same size and description, like bubbles? Or more like a glow? I guess it doesn't matter... just curious.

Hello Plummerak,
Thank goodness for the internet! It can be lonely for those of us who have experienced unusual occurances and are dying to tell someone. I have seen an orb once, and let me tell you, if was life changing. I still can't get over it. It's NOT a brain tumor, eye floaters, or anything else like that! They are definitely spirits. I very strongly believe that they are angels, at least the one I saw. I don't know if other spirits (demons) can manifest themselves this way, I only have experience with the single "visitation" that I had in November 2010. I'll just give a brief synopsis and if you want to know more detail, just ask. I also want to connect with others that have had these experiences. Here goes:
My husband and I had just gone back to church for the first time in over 10 years, after a period of neglecting the Lord, and down-right agnosticism. Well, a few nights after our return to church, I had an absolutely horrifying nightmare in which I was attacked by a demon (in my living room). It wanted me dead. I finally managed to call out "help me, Jesus!" and the attack suddenly stopped and the demon disappeared. When I woke up (terrified!), I was lying on my side, facing the wall so I didn't notice anything unusual. After about 40 seconds or so I rolled over onto my back and that's when I saw the orb directly in front of me, about 16 feet away, and about 8 feet above the floor. I watched it for about 3 to 5 minutes. An eternity, it seemed. I felt completely and unnaturally calm. It stayed in one spot, but I could see that it undulated and very subtly drifted back and forth about a couple of inches. Not much movement, but I could clearly see that it was moving. It was an all-white, luminous, transparent ball about 5 inches in diameter, and had a faint halo about 2 feet in diameter surrounding it. I should also add that I could see it very clearly, which should have been impossible as I am legally blind without my contacts, and of course I wasn't wearing them as this was in the middle of the night. I had no trouble at all seeing all the fine detail inside the orb. When it left, it simply faded slowly away, like turning down a dimmer switch. Just faded into blackness. I fell asleep almost instantly, slept peacefully all night, and when I woke up the next morning I didn't have any clear memory of the night before, just snippets of memories, like snapshots that would come and go. I didn't remember it fully until about three or four nights later when I got into bed and it suddenly all came back to me.
I went through a period of almost like post-traumatic stress syndrome for several months every time I thought about that night, which was every minute of the day, I'm not kidding! But like they say, time heals all wounds. I'm OK with the memory of it now. I really believe that the nightmare was an attack of some kind because I went back to church, and the orb was definitely a benign, even helpful, presence.
Well, that's my story. I hope this helps you. It's nice to share these experiences with people who understand. Please keep us updated if anything new happens. Peace!
Not a suprise as for anyone encountering a being from the supernatural if they are not of God that is what it feels like for the Christian.This thread is starting to resemble a bad trip.
Hello Whistledog! So great to read your experience. It so much mirrors mine. The description almost the same. Did you ever hear a tone or ringing in your ears? I do, or did. I haven't seen anything since my posting. I have to praise God for answering my/our prayer. Thank you all who did pray for me!
I'm am glad to see I'm not the only one who sees it/them.
Parsley asked what did I see in the masses, and I will answer here. It was a dark circle or spot. I saw it twice, but the rest were transparent, like a soap bubble. Big soap bubbles, grapefruit size.
In my experience, I never once wanted to tout powers of seeing things. Or accept these sightings as a way to expoilt selfish desires. And I agree that there are some out there who want powers like that.
Well I don't, if it doesn't help/further the Kingdom of God, I want nothing to with it, as I stated before in a previous post.
I do believe God blesses people with gifts of seeing, if I am one that is gifted by God, I don't know what to do with it, who in the Christian community to contact or if the gift is for spiritual disernment, would Christains even believe me? But that is for another disscussion.
I just feel better knowing Im not alone. Thank God for all who were brave enough to share your experience.
To answer your question, I did not experience any noises in regard to the orb. But like your orbs, mine also had interior features. It had three rings inside it, like a bulls-eye, and the center had seven or eight dark spots the size of a quarter that were arranged in a circle. When it undulated, the spots would merge together and then drift apart again, which made it a little difficult to determine exactly how many spots there were. It looked very liquid. Did your orbs vanish slowly like mine? Or did they just shut off like a light bulb? Or just zoom away? How long were they visible? Does anything precede the visitations? I mean, what were you doing or thinking just before they showed up?
I think they are meant to encourage us in our faith. I don't think they are demons meant to deceive, at least not in my experience. But of course we have to be discerning. But I do think they are from above, not below! If you are bothered by these visitations, pray to the Lord that he take them away. I did that and I haven't seen any since. And I pray for protection. I also think God gives us gifts to see into the spirit realm occasionally, and that is what it is, a gift to give thanks for.
Have you seen Max Greiner's website? He's an artist with a Christian perspective on the orb phenomena.
I believe it started last year....Every night in my room, I see these orbs of light floating around in my room, sometimes they just race right past me and disappear...
They appear in white or blue at times or sometimes they just appear colorless...
I mean....I dnt get any bad vibes from em @ all and I plead the blood of Jesus Christ upon my household and yet they're still here. I also asked God to allow me to see angels and maybe they are angels....
I have a feeling they're of God but then again maybe I'm just fooling myself...
I need your guys's help. Can angels appear as orbs of light?
Are these of God or not?
Thanks in advance and God bless you all....
