We so badly long to be more than what we are. It's the "god" gene in us. Just take a look at a few of these examples:

Astral Projection: Truth of Fiction?
Insidious Part I and II have, in my opinion, done a great job of glorifying the supernatural and making an entertaining introduction to the discussion of astral projection. Can, we as humans, as so much of the content, including the title of this site, really actually sleep and project ourselves into someone else's mind? It has been debated and argued and written about since the beginning of our time.
We so badly long to be more than what we are. It's the "god" gene in us. Just take a look at a few of these examples:

The Trinity: What Is It Really?
click image to expand |
Quite simple really. God is eternally and simultaneously both "one" and "three": Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Wait. you just said they were separate. They are. Look closer. It says, "god" is 1-in-3: translate it: "god" the gathering of developers" is 1 - the trinity; in 3 - father, son and holy spirit. Keep it simple, break it down and it makes total sense. Oh! That's why people say, "God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit" sometimes when they pray or refer to The Trinity? Exactly. Let me make it even easier to digest - the one who is called Jehovah or Yeshua is THE ONLY human to EVER enter into the THIRD HEAVEN. Third Heaven is where the Creator is. It's the home of the source - the heart of it all - the wellspring of everything in existence, known and unknown, seen and unseen. This Creator, made what we would consider a physical body of itself or what we could call, a son. If you have a boy that is of your seed, you call him your son. Well this is what the Creator did. He had a boy of his own seed, that is his Son. In the beginning, there was the Creator, and His Son. Other ancient texts refer to him as "The Word". They said, "the word" was God and "the word" was with God, in the beginning.
So you see, the Son of God has been there the whole time, that's why He said, "I knew you before you were born" talking about humans. He was there before humans were ever even thought of. He was part of the creation process. Now. The essence, the core, the heart of what makes it all come together, is, the Holy Spirit. This intangible part of consciousness that works directly with the tangible being-the human.
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. He is fully God. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, has a will, and can speak. He is alive. He is a person. Um, what? But how can the Holy Spirit be a person? Well, it is the resonance of the Spirit that was present during the birth of Christ, it is the presence and witness of the Spirit at the Baptism of Christ, it is the willingness of the Spirit, under Christ' command, that He be with us during our time on this Earth until we are one again with God in Heaven after the Resurrection of Man. It is the part of us that drives our very essence of consciousness-thought process and moral capacity. It is for lack of better words: the soul of existence.

You are made in the image of your creator: you are 3 parts in 1: mind-body-and soul. YOU - ARE - A TRINITY. Your Creator, also has a mind: that's the Father; a body: that's the Son and a soul: that's the Holy Spirit. And just as the Father told Christ when he was on the Earth, the Spirit is with you, when Jesus left, he said until he returns, "the Spirit is with us". You were fearfully and wonderfully made...on purpose with a purpose. May the grace of the Father, the love of the Son and the counsel of the Spirit be with you all...it is because of The Trinity we live-we move-and know ourselves as human beings.

Warrant: The Rapture
This time of morning always brings me peace. It is calm. Quiet. And the break of the new day shows promise. I wonder if today will be the day that I actually find happiness. Oh wait. I am already dead. Damn. Well, no matter. I will sit by the willow tree until dusk and sing my lullaby to the heavens.
I know that out there some where, there is a listening ear. I will continue to sing aloud until the voice of reincarnation calls me home.
I walk on your darkness, your power is life to me.
You give me a reason to want to love: so come take me home.
You gave me a reason to be free you gave me a reason to love me

Warrant: The Rapture
DeMaster A. Thomas
#2132001
I warrant the rapture, I call on her mystery.
I summon the rapture, I call on her love to come and take me home.
I summon the rapture, I call on her love to come and take me home.
I call on your darkness, I call on your history.
You found out my secrets and you have discovered me.
You found out my secrets and you have discovered me.
I lost you, but you looked for me.
I couldn't breathe and I couldn't sleep.
I couldn't breathe and I couldn't sleep.
You gave me a chance to be free.
I need you to come back and lead the way to fantasy.
I warrant your rapture, I call on your mystery.
I summon your power, I call on your love for me.
I summon your power, I call on your love for me.
I walk on your darkness, your power is life to me.
You give me a reason to want to love: so come take me home.
Hold on. Come and take me home.
You took on my sins and washed away these lies of me.
You found out I'm senseless, but didn't find the shame in me.
You found out I'm senseless, but didn't find the shame in me.
You held on when no one else could hold.
You find life in the deepest cold.
You find life in the deepest cold.
You gave me a reason to be free you gave me a reason to love me
And now...
I warrant your rapture, I call on your mystery.
I summon your power, I call on your love for me.
I summon your power, I call on your love for me.
I walk on your darkness, your power is life to me.
You give me a reason to want to love so come me home.
Hold on. Come and take me home.
You give me a reason to want to love so come me home.
Hold on. Come and take me home.
The time has come. Your journey here is complete.
Wake up.
And so I did. I woke up. All my life, I lived in a dream: the dream of success, romance, material wealth, lust, power, wrath, change, passion, utopia...
This constant state of blissful euphoria fed my imagination until the heart grew cold like a distant fog of faint memories. All of the things I loved before, became nothing. And all of the love I thought I wanted, became lust. It was time for change. I woke up.
It did not matter anymore how vanity's amendment governed my senses. My eyes were open to the truth. The truth is, we are all beautiful because we are made in the image of our one true Creator. Vanity believes we must all fit one size, style, fashion, color and image. Love believes we are without physical sight and therefore, vanity has no place in its heart. I woke up.
It did not matter anymore; thirsts of the flesh as her powerful ambiance lured me into the deepest, warmest pleasures of her womb. Love said, "when two or more are gathered in My Name, I Am-there." This sensational union of mind, body and spirit-creates life. This is the greatest human power of all -- first, the ability to take life away. Indeed we are made in the image of our creator(s). We have the power to see, believe and achieve. We have the power to give life as well as take it away. I woke up.
It did not matter anymore, how many toys I had in my toy box. Gluttony, envy and jealousy were no longer my closest circle of friends. I spent many a night and weekend with them. Understanding, compassion and sensibility greeted me with open arms and warm invites to their cabin in the mountains in winter and their crisp, cool lake homes in the summer. There was never a want; let alone a need, that was not satisfied without asking. Every time I walked through the door of old familiar faces greeted by sincere smiles and open hearts, their eyes always said to me, welcome home. I woke up.
For those who attempt to break the unbreakable, why not attempt to achieve the unthinkable. For those who attempt to destroy the everlasting, why not take time to absorb the simplicity of right now. Now is the time.
I have journeyed the halls of dreams that live beyond a lifetime. I have seen the past, present and the future of mankind. It is finished. "We are all dead. And this-is hell." I now understand we must die in order to live. We must suffer in order to gain and we must realize our hate in order to fully embrace love. Now is the time.
What are your dreams telling you? Are you walking in darkness or are you open to the light? Are you carrying pain from the past? Are your present experiences making it hard to go on and possibly causing you to feel like there is no future? Then, now is the time. Wake up.
Do you blame others for the trouble in your life? Do you curse the heavens and earth for human suffering and natural disasters? Do you blame God for the way your life turned out? Then, now is the time. Wake up.
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you tired of fear, destruction, tears of war, famine, injustice, prejudice, segregation, secret society, dividing of peoples, raping of nations, corrupt governments, broken hearts, blistered fists, disintegrated spirits and dying powers of will? Then, now is the time. Wake up.
It does not over 18,000 different religions to change the world, it only takes one to start. How much more can we take? How much longer do we have before it is too late to make that universal change? Now is the time. Wake up.
STOP. PLEASE. STOP. EVERYONE. ALL AT ONCE. BE. STILL.
Take a moment to look around you. Realize where you are; mentally, physically and emotionally and ask yourself: is this what I want for myself and those I love? If it is not, then-now is the time to change it.
We do not have to separate ourselves from each other based on creed, color or class. We can choose not to steal, kill and destroy each other. WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE AS INDIVIDUALS which leads to change as a whole.
The world was designed for the toughest race of all; the human race. There is no such thing as a superior nationality. This is an illusion. We have the ability to balance all differences: economics, healthcare, politics and religion. We must choose this change collectively and live one through the other without greed, lust, power, wrath, envy and hate. We must change at the very core of our being. We have the ability to let these detriments go-we have the power to choose. Stop. Think. Change. Now is the time.
What are your dreams telling you? What is your true reality? What is your core desire? Is it detriment or supplement? Do you want to change? Do you need to change? Find your place in the cycle of life and fulfill your purpose. You are here for a reason. Find The Source in you and listen to the message.
Shalom.

The Principles of Lust
Ah, Enigma. Play on, play on...such sweet melodies to take you away...
"...do it until you find: love..." There's a concept. Why does the flesh consume us so? What makes the physical appearance so irresistible? So many people get married for the wrong reasons. So many people get married based on looks alone, forgetting that one day, they won't look that good anymore. But we marry in the flesh and fornicate in the soul...what a delightful delicatessen of destruction that is.
Understand that it is only man's desires to please the flesh. It is my desire to please your soul. I have designed love making to be an art. Not a recreation. Please know that when you enter into a relationship with your husband or wife, that it will be for the purpose of fulfillment, not temporary enjoyment. Love making is just as much an emotional thing as it is a physical thing. It is simply a form of communicating what you feel, in order to be fruitful and multiply. So this is what you do.
Do not enter into a marriage with any doubts, ideas or expectations. These are all driven by the world of flesh and are not of the spirit. When you enter into love making, start out traditionally as it is intended. The other recreation will come later. The traditional art of lovemaking should be treated as if it were brand new to you and your body. It is the first time for you and your spouse. You are to enter into the art like that of a virgin. Forget what you know and forget what you have felt. This will be completely different from anything you know. This will be found as a rejuvenating profound experience in spiritual love, not physical lust. You will be pleased beyond measure.
This is the way it is designed. Please judge not your actions, but your heart. Understand where you are in love and spirit. Not in flesh. And all will come to you in this art. - GOD

Rapture or Abduction
Rapture or Abduction

"Are you crying?" She said."Of course not, I just have something in my eye." He answered.
"Oh please you actually cried at a movie-I can't believe it!" She joked.
"I don't know what you"re talking about." He grunted.
"Oh just admit it, you liked the movie. My man has a soft spot after all." She smiled.
"It was okay." He paused, "oh well alright if you insist. I'll say it. Yes, I liked it." He smiled.
"I knew it!" She replied happily. And with a loud thud outside their bedroom window and a shattering crash causing the lights and television to blow out, they jumped into each others' arms and quickly held onto each other in excitement; wondering what was happening!
The room became cold and dark. The walls started to sweat and without warning,
a bright soft glow appeared and walked toward them. The glow spoke in a calm deep tone, "be not afraid. I am a blessing from the One of Superior Knowledge and I have come for you."
The man rushed quickly to the bed as the ghostly figure grazed his arm. They were so stricken with fear, neither could speak. They could only sit at the edge of the bed, frozen with glazed stares. Once they were still, the spirit continued to speak. "You will not be harmed while in spirit. You will be placed into a deep sleep and when you awaken, you will possess a mind of higher elevation, knowledge and understanding."
The wife gulped and whispered in disgust, "are we being abducted?"
The husband quickly snapped out of it and sharply replied, "that ain't no alien; that's a ghost!"
The spirit was not amused by their quirky utterances and continued to speak in the same tone.
"Sleep. Now." And in the blink of an eye, the couple's bodies both fell back on the bed into a deep sleep. The room began to stretch and pulsate with each breath. "Now, allow the power of the Word to come alive in you at this very moment. When hear my voice say, Godspeed, you will instantly be projected into another dimension of consciousness. Your physical body will remain, but your soul will be guided by the Spirit."
Their bodies were both stripped naked and placed in separate tubes. All of a sudden, the room filled with an intense light. The bodies began to transform into pure energy. All the while, the eery figure continued to speak softly over them. "You are beautiful," it said to the woman. "You are victorious over all enemies," it whispered to the man. And then a deep voice chimed in. "Embrace the broken spirit of the Fallen before you. Heed my word. The sound of my voice is comfort to you. You are fulfilled. Sew. Reap. Serve. Plant. Seed. The voice of Knowledge will water you in love and healing. You will be ambassadors. You have been chosen."
After the transformation was complete, their bodies were joined together and made one. They became one root-one breath-one life.
"Elevate. Your soul will not be returned to this body. You are Spirit."
The souls of the couple were quickly vacuumed into a much larger tube of clear glass, hovering above their house. As the visual expanded, you could see endless counts of similar glass cylinders with bright strings of fluorescent lights, being extracted from the land surface into the darkness of the midnight sky. It was a majestic sight. Above the dancing tubes of light and even higher above the great blanket of black sky, was another large floating object, square in shape, glowing like liquid gold.
Another combination of male and female type voices chanted in unison: "You are being made new. You will be refreshed. Rejuvenated and made strong through your Christ's Love. Your Messiah has extended His Love to you. You are blessed. Be not afraid. You will feel no pain-only pure emotion."
The massive craft was 1500 miles high, 1500 miles wide and 1500 miles deep. Inside the great airship were many rooms. Each room had an inscription on the upper left crust of the viewing glass. There were no doors to the rooms. The inscriptions were symbols of some kind, not common words that one would easily recognize. There were no lights in the corridors, but the entire area was illuminated. In between each floor of the traveler, there were long halls with 360 degree monitors. The husband spirit projected a thought into the wife spirit and said, "these look like waiting rooms." The wife spirit replied with a warm loving tone and said, "Yes. The rapture has begun."

11-11-11 The Full Length Movie
The story you are about to see is a depiction of what really happened on 11.11.11 to those who believe that there is a portal into our world from the spiritual world. Others believe that the Grand Master, Lucifer helped create these portals. Is it a coincidence that the Fallen Angels are the most talked about entities since the origin of mankind? Is it a coincidence that another race of non-earth beings of higher intelligence wish to intervene to protect us from them? We are truly at the breaking point of a new era. 2012 is coming. The events that lead up to something greater, are often lost in the details. Watch with an open mind.

SPIRIT RESEARCH ACROSS THE WORLD
THE HOLY TRINITY: MIND-BODY-SPIRIT |
These sites and obviously several hundreds more, are all dedicated to reaching inward and starting with us in an effort to understand. I have included a few links here to get you started:

Supernatural: Spiritual Warfare
Supernatural: Spiritual Warfare
Since we were able to dream and imagination a world outside of ourselves, we have entertained the Supernatural.
...Just to name a few. But what are we really dealing with here? Is this knowledge or entertainment or a little of both? How much of what we see in movies is real and how much of it is ripped right out of the oldest story known to man? Well the truth is - both. Horror movies, mystery novels and even rock music all glorify the battle at hand: spiritual warfare. Indeed there is a battle for lost souls. Some are aware of this and do what they need to do to protect themselves. Others seek wisdom to learn of these spiritual pitfalls and make a diligent effort to avoid them. And then there are those who worship this way of life and make it a religion. Then there is the small percentage of the world that just doesn't care one way or the other and thinks all the preceding groups are just nuts. Well, no matter what you believe, the facts are the facts. We live in a "fallen" world away from universal peace and good will and our media allows us to expose every corner of our spirit - light and dark.
You are never pretty enough, skinny enough, strong enough, smart enough, tall enough, short enough you will never be "perfect" why? Because there is an unseen force that is embedded into the modern mind that without buying their product or paying for their service, you will not achieve perfection.
And then there is the obvious...
Guns...
...Cars
Money...
and Sex...
Without it even being said, we all know that there are more worldly desires out there in competition for our soul. Now, I left out addictions such as alcohol, tobacco, narcotics, and the abuses or extremes we press upon ourselves. Mainly because well it's self explanatory. Those things we impose upon ourselves only we can blame ourselves for. Those things that are pressed upon us by the world and its ways are things of an unseen force.
The Big Principle: How you "THINK" will determine - How you "LIVE".
The Battlefield of Spiritual Warfare is "OUR MIND".
2 Corinthians 4:4; 1 Peter 5:8-9
It is the thought process that drives, directs, shapes, molds, and creates your reality. It starts with you. Keep a "sober" mind and a "sober" path will be created before you.
The unseen force of evil is a living breathing being with the intent to kill, steal, and destroy. And the enemy of man seeks you out like a lion on the prowl in the wild. The enemy is an opportunist.
So let's just say I subscribe to this point of view...how would I know if I am being "Spiritually Attacked"?
1. Failures lead to DESPAIR. When your will is weak, your guard is down and it is easier to be tempted to do something hurtful and harmful to yourself and others. (Zechariah 3:1-4)
2. Uncertainty leads to DOUBT. When you start to question yourself and second guess your best judgment, you know right, but do wrong, whatever your definition of right and wrong is, you go against the grain and break your own rules and/or the rules and principles you naturally uphold. Becoming indecisive gives "evil" and "opportunity" to sink in. (Genesis 3:1-5)
3. Ambitions become DISTRACTIONS. Guard your mind, body, and spirit. They are the core of you. When they are weak, you can become ill and illness can lead to death. Gain, sew and reap wisdom. (Genesis 3:6)
4. Anger becomes DIVISION. We have all at one point or another said or done something in anger that we regret. This is exactly what the "enemy" looks for to break you down and destroy your relationships and devour your life - breadcrumb by breadcrumb. Anger is hasty, but evil is ever-so-patient. And will wait for you to fall and then kick you when you are down. (Ephesians 4:26-27)
5. Desires become DECEPTION. It is perfectly natural to desire material things: food, clothing, shelter and other necessities of life. Too much of anything will destroy you from the inside out. (Matthew 4:1-11)
6. Anxiety becomes DREAD. Take time to pace yourself in life and in spiritual matters. Getting ahead of yourself will only force you to fall over your own feet and hit the ground. Getting ahead of your teacher will only force you to miss something of grave importance that you needed to learn. You may regret jumping ahead when you realize that you missed the whole point, the whole message, the bigger picture. (Hebrews 2:14-15)
Sometimes, it's just US! We carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Sometimes, it's just our own baggage pulling us down and holding us back. That's when you have to do what some people will not:
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY
James 1:14
Yes, believe it or not, we tempt ourselves and cause ourselves to fail. It's not bad enough we have the world trying to take us down and the unseen forces of evil trying to eat us out, but now we have to protect our eyes, ears, and hands from seeing, listening, and idling in unhealthy destructive actions and behaviors. (Phew! Sounds like a lot of work!
Well, the activity of Warfare is RESISTING and DRAWING NEAR.
Root yourself in love and devotion with a passion for self and others; knowing that there is a Higher Power that loved you first and showed you how to pass love on.
Draw Nigh |
Seek and Sew the Truth |
Ask and Receive
James 4:7-8 ; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 ; Psalm 8:2
|
In conclusion, I leave you with this:
Protect yourself and the ones you love by bringing them up in love, life, and wholesome fulfillment. When you think you know it all, ask yourself what is it I do not know and more knowledge will come to you.

Ouija Are You With Me?
And the search continued. Despite efforts to learn more of what or where "the source" is, only more dead ends were found. There are soothsayers, mediums, and Wicca, but none deliver the truth. There is denomination, folklore and mysticism, but none of it delivers the truth. There must be another way. Indeed there is. Invitation. Seek and you will find. But what?
Your fingertips lightly touch, your skin responds to the lowered temperature in the room. Goose bumps. Open your mind. Focus. Be precise. Clear. Short and simple. Speak calmly. And wait. Do not repeat the questions. If there is no answer, move on.
The number of uses will not matter. First time use and repeated use will not alter the outcome. It is what it is.
Control or lack thereof. Automatism, Spiritualism, self delusion, and scientific theory take over. And what is revealed is far more startling than any theorist or realist can fathom. The following question and answer session is the final recorded session practiced on the Ouija before it was destroyed. The questions were asked by one speaker with three other participants and the answers were from the letters and/or numbers the planchette located. Here is what was discovered in the last of four sessions.
Q: Who are you?
A: Not you. (N then T then U was chosen from the board)
Q: What are you?
A: I see you. (I then C then U was chosen from the board)
Q: How old are you?
A: Eight. (The number 8 was chosen from the board)
Q: What is your name?
A: Nee. Et. Net or Nate. Could be initials-unsure.
(N then E then T was chosen from the board)
Q: When did you die?
A: I live. (I then L then V was chosen from the board)
Q: Where did you come from?
A: Heaven. (H then V then N was chosen from the board)
Q: Do you know me?
A: Yes. (Yes was chosen from the board)
Q: Will I get married?
A: Yes. (Yes was chosen from the board)
Q: Will I have children?
A: Yes. (Yes was chosen from the board)
Q: How many?
A: Two. (The number 2 was chosen from the board)
Q: Who will I marry?
A: Could be initials-unsure.
(J then L then M was chosen from the board)
Q: When will I meet my future wife?
A: (no answer was given)
Q: How long will I live?
A: (no answer was given)
Q: When will I die?
A: August 1, 2056 (8 then 1 then 5 then 6 was chosen from the board)
The speaker of the session was born in 1973.
Based on this information, the speaker would live to 83 years of age.
There were times during the session that the planchette would move in wandering circles and drift off the board and onto the table. There were also moments of no movement at all.
Q: Are you still there?
A: Yes. (Yes was chosen from the board)
Q: Are you alone?
A: No. (No was chosen from the board)
Q: Who is with you?
A: Three. (The number 3 was chosen from the board)
Q: What are their names?
A: Names are unknown. (The letter N was chosen twice from the board)
Q: Can they see the future?
A: No. (The word No was chosen from the board)
Q: Can you see the future?
A: Yes. (The word Yes was chosen from the board)
Q: When will the world end?
A: (no answer was given)
Q: Are you a good spirit?
A: (no answer was given)
Again after a small pause, the planchette moved to the edge of the board, barely touching the table. The session was getting long and obviously the participants were getting tired. An attempt was made to ask the most important questions needed for our research and ultimately close the sessions for good.
Q: Is there a God?
A: Yes. (The word Yes was chosen from the board)
Q: Where is God?
A: Here. (H then E then R then E was chosen from the board)
Q: What does God look like?
A: Light. (The Sun was chosen from the top corner of the board)
Q: Where do we go when we die?
A: Here. (H then E then R then E was chosen from the board)
Q: Is Satan real?
A: (no answer was given) The planchette began to circle again.
Q: Is there a Hell?
A: (no answer was given) Kept circling.
Q: Where is the source?
A: (no answer was given) Stopped.
Q: Who is the source?
A: I am. (I then M was chosen from the board)
The pointer moved slowly off the board again and onto the table. At this point, the participants believed we had enough substantial evidence and answers to our questions to move on.
Q: Spirit are you still there?
A: (no answer given)
? |
It was time to close the session and the participants began to get up from the table when the planchette suddenly moved on its own. With a quick sweeping motion, the pointer slid off the table and onto the floor. With surprise and amazement, the speaker and the participants jumped with anticipation and outbursts about what just happened. The speaker quickly picked up the planchette and board in an attempt to calm everyone down and made light references to the Parker Brothersplanchette and cracked it on the kitchen floor, all the while making remarks and comments that he..."didn't want to take any chances...god that was fucking weird man!" Another participant commented, "fuck me, dude. Never again!" Another participant shouted, "dude that was so not scientific at all. We just like so totally broke all the rules with this thing." The speaker chimed in again and said, "you guys do know that right!" Another participant commented, "not cool, not cool at all." The speaker grabbed the broken pieces and took them to the trash outside.

In all the excitement, we forgot one thing. The session was never closed.

Enigma
We are all in search of something more, something greater than ourselves. This online documentary is simply a small part of uncovered truths that only lead to more questions and unfortunately, more lies. So in an effort to remain sensible, sanctuary is inevitable. Some find solace in nature, music or art. Others, even those who are not religious, find a sense of peace simply by sitting quietly in the hallowed halls of an old church. Many believe that evil cannot enter a place of spiritual peace, but that is simply a falsehood. Evil dwells within ergo evil is where ever the one who possesses it, chooses to go.

God's Calling-it's for You
So, how can we know if a dream about an angel is a real angelic appearance?
Here are some guidelines I have developed as a result of my study of the Bible, my postgraduate work in dreams at the Yale Divinity School, and my talks with people about their experiences.
- The result of the dream will draw attention to God more than the angel. Angels are God’s messengers and their purpose is always to bring glory to God, not to themselves.
- The dreams usually leave a person with feelings of awe and wonder and that God is loving. This is true even when the angel appears to a person who is rebelling against God and is deep in sin. The angel may appear to judge and to scare a person straight. Often, when this occurs, the angel does not even give a message in words, but the experience of God’s presence is shattering and life-transforming and points to a God who cares deeply.
- Is this dream sensible or illogical? We need to use common sense. While a dream or a vision may come from God and be a positive life-changing event, the dream may also come from images buried in our subconscious. God does not send his angels to tell us silly or terrible things. It is always wise to share your experience with a trusted member of your faith community. Sharing with another person helps us evaluate the authenticity of what may be an angelic encounter.
- Does this dream contradict what is taught in the Bible? God does not contradict himself. See my past column: Good Angels, Bad Angels.
- Does this encounter leave you more renewed and more resolved to serve God? If is the encounter is genuine it will move you to love God more deeply and to live out your faith more consistently.
