Out of body experience

[FireOfGod]

It sounds like your answer to prayer if you ask me. You asked God to remove any devils from you and your family. Sounds like they left and you felt and saw it. Now just tell them to get out of your house in Jesus' name.

 

[heron]

I agree, you can do this with your own declaration. If you don't notice a change, get a friend to speak this with you. You have the authority to tell it to go, and you have the God of the universe backing you up.

If you're embarrassed to try it, consider the consequences of living with something destructive and stifling for a few decades before you try it again. You'll probably feel an apathy when you're trying to do it--just plunk yourself down, cut through the passivity, and start.

About whether it's in you or not--the theology and placement don't matter, if it's harassing you. Some people on CF have argued whether it's theologically possible...don't waste your time wondering, just refuse to allow its influence in your life.

In Jesus' name, I command that any evil spirits, any destructive forces leave you now. They are not allowed to return, or to touch any member of your family, or your friends. (If they need a place to go, they can hide out in the skunks in your neighborhood. Luke 8:32.) Join me now, follow the bouncing ball!

No weapon formed against you will prosper. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

About the odor in the hospital... many people have smelled out-of-place smells that they believe to be Godly or demonic. I've smelled them, but don't get into figuring them out. If you think about what smells are, they're like vision--the impression in your brain of something taken in from the environment. So it's possible that even if a source of smell wasn't there, something was able to trigger the same receptors that interpret the smell.​

Well you know Heron years ago I watched a show (& have read some) on people that talk about extraterestrials making contact or even kidnapping people. & what I found so "interesting" was that each one talked about how these creatures emitted a horrible smell & some called it equivalent to burning rubber.

& when I read about people having actual demonic encounters & knew that is what they were they said the very same thing. demons have a rotten nasty stench at times when they choose to have an encounter with humans.
But didn't mean to digress here. Astral projection is a very serious action.

Sorry.
Just thought someone might find this interesting/helpful.

 

[Starforsaken]

thanks for all your replies everyone. i havent replied to the thread in a few days. ive stopped pursuing astral projection and a few days ago i got rid of all the porn i had... which was a lot... on the last night that i was reading about astral projection i felt weird. its happened a few times before. like the air in the room stops moving and i start to feel hot and can feel myself in fear of something. it was then i said something in my head like "in jesus name leave" and it stopped.. has anyone ever felt that feeling before... the feeling that surrounds you and closes in on you and feels like you cant get away

"What I found so "interesting" was that each one talked about how these creatures emitted a horrible smell & some called it equivalent to burning rubber.

I've wondered about that connection, from similar treatment of making people feel powerless to avoid them. It's interesting to hear of a similarity of smell!

 

[heron]

"Has anyone ever felt that feeling before."

Oh yes, definitely. We had a death in our house, and I felt a dark blob hang out upstairs for about a week before I finally told it to go. The second I said that out loud, it was gone for good.

Sometimes I feel presences before people enter a building...as if these things are bouncing alongside them.

I've also sensed this many many other times, and strongly believe that these are evil spirits and they are very real. Some people see them-- I feel them like you described, and get a sense of their form and size and strength--which changes. (Never smelled them, that I know of.) I'm so glad you decided to resist whatever it was! and make some changes to free yourself.

In case you're wondering, it's obvious that they can hear you, but we have no evidence they can read your mind. They can whisper things to you that give you the impression they know your thoughts, but you're in control. When you tell them to leave, you just have to speak audibly. (You don't have to yell fearfully like you see on television.)

God, on the other hand, knows your inmost fears and desires and hopes, so prayer works no matter what you do. Whew, good thing.

I've never experienced the burning smell ... i've heard people talk about it, though. many people have stories to share about the times they dabbled in things they shouldn't have - and honestly, we all have the curiosity to understand the things we cannot ever fully comprehend as human beings. We are driven to discovery - and that's not entirely bad.

I don't allow things like ouija boards or music with satanic themes in my house. I don't allow porn in my house. I don't believe in being overly religious because I think we can get caught up in religious politics and forget to seek guidance from the creator who knows exactly who he made us to be ... But, I also recognize that there is a spiritual and psychological danger in crossing certain boundaries. Sounds like you've figured this out, Star ... Hats off to you.

 

[Ajax 777]

Yes, demons can manifest terrible odors.

I believe they have the ability to deceive your five senses, since I KNOW the one I'm still struggling with certainly has...but it's just parlor tricks, mere distractions to try to wrestle your mind away from meditating on the Word of God, or from seeking the truth in Him.

If anyone wanted to pray that I overcome the demon in MY life, like Heron did for Star, they'd certainly be welcome. This has been going on for years now, and though I know that I know that I know that I KNOW the Lord will help me to overcome it, any prayer cover you wanted to offer would certainly be greatly appreciated...

Either way, may the Lord bless and keep you all.

 

[kato1265]

i don't think i disputed the "smell" ... i just said it wasn't anything i experienced and went on to say, in so many words, "but i guard my home - my sanctuary" ... I have no knowledge of this, so i wouldn't dare to dispute it.

 

[gracechick]

Star,
Man that's awesome
God will honor your choices to kick the devil out & walk away from him. God bless you with peace, wisdom, joy & all blessings from above.
Keep letting us know how it's going

 

[Immanuel]

I humbly thank you for your words of kindness, Ajax. I've been greatly blessed since I became a Christian, and it warms my heart to know that people are inspired through my words. I can't take credit for them, however, knowing that God was their inspiration.

But I still thank you again, very much. It's good to know that I'm not speaking into thin air!

"Ecclesiatstes 12:6-8,
"Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
or the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
or the wheel broken at the well,
and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it."

I never noticed that in the Bible before... it blows me away. This is the exact practice I used when I attempted to astrally project in the past. I couldn't believe that it was real, I felt myself rising out of my head, and I remember a distinct darkness, followed by a horrible roar. It literally scared me back into my body.

The thing to take note of, Star, is that since I attempted that, not to mention my ouija board experience, I've been demonically oppressed. I came down with Unipolar Depression, memories of the past swelled up and I was diagnosed with PTSD, I was suicidal, had Bipolar I and good Christian people I knew at the time could notice a change in me. My mother and her friend rushed home from work one night a few years ago because I called and told her I felt very sick, dizzy, and disoriented. My blood pressure was through the roof. That was the same house where my cousin and I consulted with spirits via the ouija board.

We eventually moved, the house had a wall which set on fire twice. The first time this happened was only days after my cousin and I had spoken with something through the board, a young boy named Erik, who told us he'd burned to death. He told us we could 'set him free' by chanting three words together, and the foolish teenagers we were, we did. I won't post them here for fear of someone becoming curious, but if you PM me with good intentions I'll tell them to you.

Not long after I moved, I found myself smoking pot, snorting pills, drinking hard liquor at least twice a week to the point of sheer drunkenness and blacking out and having no happiness whatsoever unless I was in a 'high' state of mind.

Every single thing I mentioned above went on for 2 and a half to three years, and I quit them all cold turkey after I repented of my sins at an altar or prayer and accepted Christ into my life as savior. Do I find any of these things coincidences? No. I find them a series of events which started with one thing and one thing only - filling my head with the forbidden knowledge of Satan. The silver cord of the spirit, the golden bowl mentioned in Ecclesiastes, I remember like it was yesterday of when I tampered with these things. It was only a matter of time before I experienced the worst years of my life, and it's only by God's grace and mercy that I'm speaking with you all today.

I warn you, Star. Everything has it's price, and what you're playing with right now could cost your eternal soul.

I just have to say this AMEN!! Praiase be to God that you have left your life of sin. I think for all of us, (well speaking for myself) that the best decision of my life was when I accepted Jesus Christ. There's no other place I'd rather be. Man, if it were not for the one who loved me and died for me, my life would be a life of self-destruction.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR LOVING US ALL!!!

I'm so relieved that you stopped Star. Praise God. Answered prayer. But please, those demons are up on you in hopes you continue to open up the doors. But please get yourself into the body of Christ (the church) Satan is waiting to devour you. Get with the rest of the flock so he has less of a chance to do so.

I know that feeling about something evil lurking around you. I was living in a place that was like that. where it was hard for me to sleep at night. I felt terror and fear. I kept praying, praising God, and rebuking them in the name of Jesus and I slept fine. I really felt that they wanted to kill me because they couldn't stand the holy presence of the Lord that LIVES INSIDE me.

I love you Star and so does the Lord. You are so so soooo special and precious since you were brought at a VERY HIGH PRICE (the price of Jesus' blood)

Oh by the way guys, what does OBE stand for?

Also, the smell of demons, it's actually the smell of burning sulfur. If you look in the book of revelations (9:19). All throughout the bible sulfur stands for the wrath of GOD. When Sodom was destroyed it was sulfur. satan and his workers will be thrown in the burning fire of sulfur. They STINK. demons STINK!!!! Not even that, but they torment each other due to desire of power. satan torments them too (controlling them with fear, opposite of God), so they also smell from that. THEY SMELL. ok, i'll stop for now.

It's been so long since I've been on here. I was away at a conference and it rocked. Well JESUS ROCKS!!!!!!

Man, satan's time is up!!!! Jesus is coming back for us really soon. Let's go and reap the Harvest Fields

STAR, MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN SO MUCH ABUNDANCE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE WEEPING BECAUSE HE WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY TOUCHING YOUR HEART WITH HIS LOVE.

For everyone else, GOD BLESS you with His Holy Spirit to minister to others.

OBE = out of body experience.

Freaky, I've smelt a demon before. He really DID smell like sulfure.

Lord of Heaven, Father of lights, I pray for Ajax 777, that the demonic forces will have no power over him, that they will be rendered powerless in his life. Please fill him with the fullness of Thy Holy Spirit and the strength of Thy Holy Word which is able to preserve him body, mind, and soul. May he seek You, O Lord, for all his needs and learn to trust in you. Thank you for you goodness and mercy, O Lord. I pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Ajax 777,

Please follow Star's example and get rid of anything that will make you stumble, whether it be any books, music, paraphenelia, porn, or anything that would interfere with you walk with God. Keep close to the Lord and fellowship with other believers for encourgement and strength. God bless you, my friend.


Love & Peace,

Dondi

Thank you, Dondi. May the Lord bless and keep you for your kindness in replying to my post.

Rest assured, I have gotten rid of all such filthy things in my life as what you advised me to do -- and if you'll read back up the thread a bit (to the first page), you'll see that it was I who first admonished Starforsaken about such things as what you suggested were causing the problem. This is not to toot my own horn, but I am not living with these types of sin present in my life anymore. I have a demon which refuses to obey the authority I have in the Name of Jesus over it causing me great torment and oppression, and to be totally honest I do not understand how it is able to do it. It isn't a faith issue; I think this may be one of those demons that cannot be gotten rid of by any other means save prayer & fasting...which is why I asked for your prayers.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen!

 

[Breaking Babylon]

Ajax, you'd be very, very surprised what a 24-hour food fast could do. I suggest you do that, and every time you feel hungry, drink a glass of water and sincerely keep God in your mind while doing so, giving thanks or praying, or both. Dive into the Word during those 24 hours, also. Things will change for you the very next day. At least they did for me.

Fasting is telling God that you are looking straight to Him for satisfaction, not a fleeting earthly fulfillment. Remember that your fast day is strictly between you and God, I'd suggest staying offline that day. You can do it - I know you can, because I did it. Also remember that fasting is supposed to be ONLY between you and God, there's no need to keep people 'informed' or tell people that you're doing it. In a sense, that's vainglory. You don't want to present yourself to God with vainglory. lol.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me.

 

[heron]

I agree. Jesus suggested fasting as a solution for demons that are difficult to kick out. I've also had success with subtle long-term fasts, like giving up meat or caffeine.

(Yeah I know, giving up caffeine would give tangible results on its own. This did work in fasts involving others.)

 

[Ajax 777]

I was considering going on Daniel's fast...I guess, then, I will.

A 24-hour, or perhaps a 72-hour, food fast without things like cigarettes probably wouldn't hurt either.

 

[Immanuel]

Yes a fast and prayer would be good. However, DON"T forget to drink lots of liquid. Juices, milk, water, etc.... you will need your vitamins. Before fasting, please intake a LOT of protein. Spiritual warfare takes a toll on your body and protein is what sustains it. It would also be good to ask your church to also fast and pray with/for you. Only because if you are the only person fasting and praying for it. satan will attack you strongly and you sometimes need backup. I also hope that you have closed all doors to satan as well. Do pray and ask God also for direction.

Ajax as for the fasting things like cigarettes, i don't think anyone should be smoking especially those who are Christians. I mean cigarettes can cause cancer, high blood pressure, and other types of diseases. If your body is the temple of God, we should be good stewards of what he has given to us. Would we want to put God's temple with the chance of cancerous things?

With Love in Christ's Victory,
