sweet heart there is nothing wrong with the laying of hands on believers. the bible says in 1st Tim that Paul told timothy to be mindful of the spiritual gifts that were deposited in him through THE LAYING OF HANDS BY THE elders. what one has to be MINDFUL of is WHO IS DOING THE LAYING OF HANDS. God bless you.
Honey, Apst Paul also said to Timothy, lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be a partakes of another man's sins. Keep ur self pure. 1stTim 5:22.
Deduce it.
My dear, no one lays hands on my head. Pray, I will say amen. Anyone that's not scriptural, I won't answer amen.
In my Church, no one prays for you, or better put, lays hands on you. A prayer point is given and then you fire it out. Laying on of hands transfers spirits, just like you rightly said, but are all spirits clean? Do we know who the hands belongs to?

Oh dear, if I tell you about the activities of a so called prophet in my neighborhood here, my dear, you would really like him to lay his hands on you. lol. People have to start selling native eggs, red candles bitter cola and bitterleaf, coconut. because these are their objects of assignments, and they are high on demand, as so many people needs them. because people no longer care how they get what they want, the occultist also no longer care about their activities. Everything is open now.

Sister dazzle, the best deliverance is the one you do ur self. It's like this; you have scaled the first step already by rejecting it in your spirit and with your mouth. 'with the heart you have believed to righteousness, with your mouth you have made the confession which brings salvation'.
Locate scriptures that deals with what you need, and trash it out.
And pls Know this; you have the power and right to accept anything, you have the power to reject everything and you have the power to reverse anything you don't want.
Satan dey craze? He no dey look face? Nonsense.

Thanks a lot sir. I appreciate the time n contribution.

However I do remember having such a session for myself sometime back in 2013 during my youth service days.

There was a particular book of Rebecca Brown's that talked about how contact with these books could open one up for demon possession to which she said the solution was a deliverance session. Which of course I took seriously and did.

However I do believe a concious or unconscious act of coming in contact with any such literature could eventually make a door way for repossession. In the interim I'm tryna think it's my curiosity to reading one or two funny posts of these funny atheists on here NL that might have contributed somewhat, to which I vowed eventually not reading any of such threads if the title has nothing to do with teaching more abt spirituality and how to become better involved with God.

To this end, now I know what should be done I would do the needful.

Thanks so much again for your insightful additon.


Between thanks for mentioning self deliverance cos I don't like any such deliverance session where someone has to put their hands on another. As we cannot really tell the spirit moving whoever the deliverer. Infact it's been advised to as much as possible prevent anyone frm laying hands on us carelessly as it's another means to input demons straight into the unsuspecting victim. Hence I frown @d practise. I have had one such experience where I went for a supposed deliverance session and the result was a very wicked fearful dream that somewhat spelled a kinda funny setting I was so upset when I woke up and linked the cause directly to that hand laid on me the day before. Got really angry in my spirit n prayed n fasted to rid myself of any impurities.

Anyways that's my reason and my question is it right or wrong for hands to be laid on a person's head for deliverance, bearing in mind it could either liberate or enrope further.


Bro Charles, sis analice, kindly step in here.

Thanks

Sister.. Nnamdiosu answered this well.

There is nothing wrong in laying of hands on people. Infact, it is advised in the bible that when a person is sick, let him/her confess their sins and let the elders lay their hands on such person so that the person be well.



God uses our hands to perform signs, healing and miracles.

Yes, laying of hands transfers spirits too and it would be unfortunate if its an evil person that's laying hands on another person.

So this must be done by people of God; elders, pastors, prophets etc. Laying of hands is very essential for deliverance. It's a transference of God's power to break bondages and yokes in a person's life.



But it has to be done by the move of the Holy Spirit and by a man/woman of God.

God bless you.

My dearest sis, u d best. Thank you ojare. You have thrashed it out just like that. Indeed the best deliverance is self deliverance. Great to know someone else doesn't like laying of hands on them too especially when the source of the hands are unknown.

It is very well indeed.

You are welcome Dearest.
Although am not totally against laying on of hands. Inside this thread for e.g, I have followed the brethren up and am convinced that they are being led by the Holy spirit. If am challenged, and weak to pray, I can allow them lay hands on me. But I can't go to a ministry am not familiar with, and the Man officiating the deliverance is a stranger to me, dear, I no gree.
I have never even gone to any ministry for prayers.

I maybe wrong here but, if I may admonish, I will say, start by asking God if you are called to start a ministry or to work understand a ministry. What ever be the case, you need training. Right now, marry your Bible, pray always, a heartfelt prayer. Cultivate a relationship with the Holy Spirit which will enable you hear from God anytime he speaks. You need divine direction. Find out your gift, develop it. I will say for now, join a unit in your church.
Preferably prayer force, and evangelism and follow up units. Prayer will clean you up spiritually, and evangelism will take timidity away from you, if u are shy.
You know, to teach another person, you have to know it first. So, you will read the Word always, always ask the Holy Spirit to explain certain things to you.
This is what I do. If I come to a verse I find hard to understand, I ask myself this, if you step out there, and someone asks you to explain this verse , what will you tell the person? I will start explaining to myself what I feel the Bible is trying to tell me there. Then go ahead to ask someone I believe shd know. Sometimes I ask up to three different people to make sure.
Lastly, locate your mentors. Read their works. Their biographies.
For me, David Yong Cho. Keneth E. Hagin, Bishop David Oyedepo. Charles Spurgeon, Rick Warren, Mike Murdock, Arthur W. Pink. These are my men.
Shalom.

there is this desire in human to want to enter into the supernatural and d devil capitalizes on it to lure us into bondage. There is a better way to enter into the supernatural and it is by knowing Jesus as Lord and personal saviour, experiencing the in filling of the Holy Spirit and then you can experience the true supernatural as the Holy Spirit brings you into.
Astra projection is one of the manifestation of deep involvement in witchcraft in which a person's spirit leave the body for some period of time and engages in some activities. Witchcraft is a very broad subject but astra projection happens to be a very deep manifestation of witchcraft. There are demons the scripture calls seducing spirits, their job is to whisper these curiosity to men and draw dem into Satans deep web of deception.
Desire to know Jesus Christ more and you will be brought into the real supernatural.

Hello sir,

Ur last statement caught me.

"As a rule, a christian must not attempt this unless it is initiated by the Holy Spirit"

I had a nearly somewhat out of body experience without seeing it coming.

Early morning say abt 15 past 7, just after reading through certain scriptures n the bible and asking the Holy Spirit to guide n teach me through the word. After I was done, I decided to lay down awhile. I drifted n before I could say jack see the lights so bright and the fan going sooo high. I was about wondering what that was about when allova sudden I kinda realise I'm moving on upwards into some kinda clear void with bright colours everywhere up there. Was moving up so fast I could even feel my physical feet were in speed motion, I'm tryna reckon what's happening and immediately I realise I'm seeing really clearly but then it's not with my two physical eyes but some very big bright eye, actually bigger than my normal physical eyes n wayyyyy brighter. At the realisation of the thot that for the first time I might be having an out of body experience and having full knowledge of it, I became afraid and try to stop this occurrence by forcing my physical body to wake up. But the spirit man already involved refuses the physical to wake up. The body however takes precedence and forces itself up,unsure of what was happening or where the spirit was headed for. Immediately I wake up and I'm aghast n wondering ;God what was that about just now? I don't remember wanting such an experience so why did it happen and where was I even headed for? These were questions left in my head n for the rest of the day I experienced the worst headache ever. I tried to go back to sleep countless times to ease the headache that had defiled all workings of the pcm I took to no avail. Of course I do have some little knowledge of astral travelling n stuff cos of my exposure to the rampa books but I know trying the astral travelling wasn't in my agenda, the fear of it alone cudnt have made me delve, this however brings me back to the reason for this post, why did I have that experience, was it from God or otherwise? Cos I know just as u explained above that it is not our place to be overly inquisitive of such things as astral travel save of course it's inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Sorry for the missive and bless u as u help a sister decipher this out.

Thanks

P:S- wrote in a hurry, apologies for any mistypes

Most people will at some point in their lives experience astral projection either inadvertently or by direct process (a simple electric shock will do) Some refer to it as an “out of body experience” people undergoing critical surgery have related various such experiences. If as you mentioned, you read the Rampa books then you already know the basics, Lobsang Rampa, who by the way was a charlatan gave detailed instructions for the practice of AP, your sub-conscious simply did the rest.

In the Christian bible, Ecclesiastes 12v6 talks about the “severing of the silver cord and the shattering of the golden bowl”. The priests who wrote that knew far more than they were willing to let on. The silver cord is the energy link between the etheric and the physical, in the course of astral projection you will observe it linked to you at your solar plexus regardless of distance.

It is important to stress that astral projection is independent of religion, whether you are Christian, Muslim, Sikh or what have you. It has nothing to do with witchcraft as others will ignorantly have you believe or the devil for that matter, most people will project astrally without recall or patchy memories at best, it is in fact a means to gain inspiration and to free the mind of the shackles which for the most part your various priests, pastors and Imams have inculcated in you.

Astral projection which is done by oneself is witchcraft knowingly or unknowingly.

It is spiritually illegal when someone controls his/her spirit. It is witchcraft. Only the Holy Spirit does that (controls a person's spirit) to the glory of God.



Astral projection is an out of body experience.. Its a situation whereby a person(spirit) can come out of the body at his/her own will.

The soul(mind) is being used to control the spirit.



There is a backdoor to Astral projection.. This is a secret. That back door is 'Strong Imagination', 'Deep Thinking'.


Man is a spirit, has a body and lives in a soul. The soul controls the spirit to Astral project and move around to wherever the spirit wants to go to. This is spiritually illegal. It is a sin.


Some people astral project without knowing it. When a person thinks about lots of sex, always imagining a fantasy world where he/she is having sexual joy with a person, this can lead to astral projection without the person knowing. When astral projection is done, it opens up room for demons. Sexual imaginations will attract a sexual demon definitely. A person would later starting seeing strange marks all over their body.



I remember my first experience. When I was eleven years old. I was into deep sexual thoughts. I would lay on the bed and think about me and an imaginary beautiful girl. I would imagine petting her, touching her etc.



Later, after a while, these thoughts would start to control themselves. I would just close my eyes, imagine for a bit, then somehow the thoughts just rolled on like I was watching a movie.



One very day, while I was in this same act, having these sexual thoughts. The images started to wash away; the imaginary girl, chairs, rooms etc. They all began washing away like floating ink. They all floated and disappeared. In the physical, I was squinting my face. I could see my body and my facial expression wondering where all the images/imagination disappeared to.


Then a face formed. Slim handsome face, grey long hair with piercing eyes. I was awake but still in the realm of deep imagination.


I recognized the face from somewhere but I couldn't remember where. The face just kept staring at me in a gentle but disappointed expression.
When I remembered that the face was actually Jesus, then He spoke.


He said 'Charles, why do you sin against God & Heaven'? I didn't answer. Then He said 'Stop sinning and start winning souls for God'.


Then I opened my eyes and got up from the bed and repented.



All those times I was in deep sexual thinking. I never knew I had graduated into an out of body experience and I was actually doing this thing for real. I was astral projecting.


Deep Strong imaginations is a secret passage for astral projection and it invites demons into a person's life. I'm grateful Jesus warned me. That was my first encounter with Him.



If anyone is doing so, let the person stop it.

God bless you all.

Thank you for your civil response. Actually I am not Christian but I believe that Jesus during his lifetime was in aspects personification of Divine God. I do not believe he was born of a virgin, I believe he was an apocalyptic prophet who taught a message of forgiveness, humility and compassion, traits that seem to have gone missing in latter day Christianity.

Sometime around the year 30CE he was put to death on trumped up charges of sedition principally for upsetting the powerful money traders at the temple of Jerusalem, I do not believe he rose after three days, that is my view but I respect the views of Christians who believe he did. For me, I experience Jesus as the deity of compassion.

A Soldier's Higher Allegiance"

The heroic witness and martyrdom of Ivan "Vanya" Moiseyev

Ivan Moiseyev (1952-1972), known to friends and family as Vanya, was a brave soldier in the Soviet Army, but he was braver still in his witness to JESUS CHRIST . He was tortured for his faith and died as a Christian martyr in 1972 at the age of 20.

What fueled his faith and courage in witnessing for CHRIST ? His parents had raised him and his six brothers and one sister in a Christian home. They were from Moldavia, which was part of the Soviet Union at that time, and they belonged to an underground Christian church, because religion was outlawed by the Communist government.

When Vanya completed school in 1968 at the age of 16, he decided to personally commit his life to Jesus Christ and to read the Bible daily. He joined the Evangelical Christian Baptist (ECB) Church in Slabodeyska and was baptized in 1970. After his baptism he had an intense desire to tell others about the good news of JESUS CHRIST and the gift of new life and forgiveness of sins which he won on the cross. He preached the Gospel with great enthusiasm and joy, both in his local church and to many young people of the town where he worked as a delivery driver.

In November 1970 he was drafted into the Soviet Army to perform two years of required military training and service. When Vanya began to speak openly of GOD in the army, his military supervisors began a systematic campaign of intimidation and torture to silence him.

In one of his letters to his parents Vanya wrote:

Even though I am a soldier, I work for the Lord, though there are difficulties and testings. Jesus Christ gave the order to proclaim his word in this city, in any meeting, in a military unit, to officers and soldiers. I have been in a division headquarters and in a special section. Though it was not easy, the Lord worked so that it turned out well there. I had an opportunity to proclaim his word to the most senior personnel. But I was reviled and thrown out of the meeting.
On one occasion the sergeant in his barracks challenged him to prove that God exists. The test was that God would miraculously arrange a military home leave for a certain sergeant. Leaves were hard to get. After asking God if he should accept the challenge, Vanya agreed. All night, he sat up with the sergeant explaining the things that he would need to know when he became a Christian. The next day, an authority from another town called and ordered the leave. The sergeant became a Christian and so did other men.
Shortly after this incident, Vanya wrote again to his parents about his determination to speak about Christ to his commanders and fellow soldiers alike.

They [his officers] have forbidden me to preach Jesus, and I am going through tortures and testings, but I told them that I will not stop bearing the news of Jesus. And the Lord shamed them before the entire unit, when they were torturing me. A soldier stood up who had miraculously gone on leave and had told everyone, and he asked, “Whose power was this?” The authorities did not wish to let me go, but they were put to shame.
On his last leave home, Vanya made a recording of the ordeals and cruelties used against him in the army. At times he was starved when his officers forbade him to eat for many days. He was awakened and interrogated night after night, and often struck.
Once, after a discussion about God, Vanya was made to stand in the street throughout the whole night wearing his summer uniform. The temperature at that time was thirteen degrees below zero (-25 celcius). He obeyed the order and stood in the street the whole night, remaining faithful to God. Miraculously, his eyesight was still functioning and he could see his officers and he could move his body despite the terrible cold. All throughout the ordeal, Vanya prayed for his persecutors. For the next twelve nights, Ivan continued to stand in the street outside his barracks. Miraculously, he did not freeze, nor did he beg for mercy. Ivan continued to speak about his faith to his comrades and officers.

Other miracles also confirmed his testimony. Once he was run over by a truck. He was told his life could only be saved by the amputation of an arm and part of a collapsed lung. Delirious with fever he earnestly prayed aloud. The next morning, he was completely healed.



Soldiers around him were converted, impressed by his ardent faith. His commanders continued to interrogate him, trying to get him to deny Jesus. They put him in refrigerated cells. They clothed him in a special rubber suit, into which they pumped air until his chest was so compressed he scarcely could breath.

In his interrogation, Vanya testified, “I have one higher allegiance, and that is to Jesus Christ. He has given me certain orders, and these I cannot disobey.”

At the age of 20, Ivan knew that the communists would kill him. On July 11, 1972, he wrote his parents, “You will not see me anymore.” He then described a vision of angels and heaven which God had sent to strengthen him for the last trial. A few days later, a coffin arrived at his parents' home, welded shut. Vanya's mother insisted it be opened. One of his brothers, who belonged to the Communist party, resisted, but the rest of the family prevailed. Vanya was barely recognizable. Witnesses, Christian and non-Christian alike, signed a statement which declared that his chest had been burned. His face and body were covered with lumps, bruises, and heel marks. His heart was punctured in six places.

In his last letter, dated July 15, 1972, Vanya wrote:

I desire that all of you, dear friends, young and old, remember this one verse. Revelation 2:10 “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Receive this, the last letter on this earth, from the least of the brethren.

Astral projection which is done by oneself is witchcraft knowingly or unknowingly.

It is spiritually illegal when someone controls his/her spirit. It is witchcraft. Only the Holy Spirit does that (controls a person's spirit) to the glory of God.



Astral projection is an out of body experience.. Its a situation whereby a person(spirit) can come out of the body at his/her own will.

The soul(mind) is being used to control the spirit.



There is a backdoor to Astral projection.. This is a secret. That back door is 'Strong Imagination', 'Deep Thinking'.


Man is a spirit, has a body and lives in a soul. The soul controls the spirit to Astral project and move around to wherever the spirit wants to go to. This is spiritually illegal. It is a sin.


Some people astral project without knowing it. When a person thinks about lots of sex, always imagining a fantasy world where he/she is having sexual joy with a person, this can lead to astral projection without the person knowing. When astral projection is done, it opens up room for demons. Sexual imaginations will attract a sexual demon definitely. A person would later starting seeing strange marks all over their body.



I remember my first experience. When I was eleven years old. I was into deep sexual thoughts. I would lay on the bed and think about me and an imaginary beautiful girl. I would imagine petting her, touching her etc.



Later, after a while, these thoughts would start to control themselves. I would just close my eyes, imagine for a bit, then somehow the thoughts just rolled on like I was watching a movie.



One very day, while I was in this same act, having these sexual thoughts. The images started to wash away; the imaginary girl, chairs, rooms etc. They all began washing away like floating ink. They all floated and disappeared. In the physical, I was squinting my face. I could see my body and my facial expression wondering where all the images/imagination disappeared to.


Then a face formed. Slim handsome face, grey long hair with piercing eyes. I was awake but still in the realm of deep imagination.


I recognized the face from somewhere but I couldn't remember where. The face just kept staring at me in a gentle but disappointed expression.
When I remembered that the face was actually Jesus, then He spoke.


He said 'Charles, why do you sin against God & Heaven'? I didn't answer. Then He said 'Stop sinning and start winning souls for God'.


Then I opened my eyes and got up from the bed and repented.



All those times I was in deep sexual thinking. I never knew I had graduated into an out of body experience and I was actually doing this thing for real. I was astral projecting.


Deep Strong imaginations is a secret passage for astral projection and it invites demons into a person's life. I'm grateful Jesus warned me. That was my first encounter with Him.



If anyone is doing so, let the person stop it.

God bless you all.

Thanks for the explanation and responses of others too. God bless you all. I'm grateful to God that I saw this thread. It has helped my spiritual growth and opened my eyes to many things.

Most people will at some point in their lives experience astral projection either inadvertently or by direct process (a simple electric shock will do) Some refer to it as an “out of body experience” people undergoing critical surgery have related various such experiences. If as you mentioned, you read the Rampa books then you already know the basics, Lobsang Rampa, who by the way was a charlatan gave detailed instructions for the practice of AP, your sub-conscious simply did the rest.

In the Christian bible, Ecclesiastes 12v6 talks about the “severing of the silver cord and the shattering of the golden bowl”. The priests who wrote that knew far more than they were willing to let on. The silver cord is the energy link between the etheric and the physical, in the course of astral projection you will observe it linked to you at your solar plexus regardless of distance.

It is important to stress that astral projection is independent of religion, whether you are Christian, Muslim, Sikh or what have you. It has nothing to do with witchcraft as others will ignorantly have you believe or the devil for that matter, most people will project astrally without recall or patchy memories at best, it is in fact a means to gain inspiration and to free the mind of the shackles which for the most part your various priests, pastors and Imams have inculcated in you.

Thank you for your civil response. Actually I am not Christian but I believe that Jesus during his lifetime was in aspects personification of Divine God. I do not believe he was born of a virgin, I believe he was an apocalyptic prophet who taught a message of forgiveness, humility and compassion, traits that seem to have gone missing in latter day Christianity.

Sometime around the year 30CE he was put to death on trumped up charges of sedition principally for upsetting the powerful money traders at the temple of Jerusalem, I do not believe he rose after three days, that is my view but I respect the views of Christians who believe he did. For me, I experience Jesus as the deity of compassion.
God bless you sir.
The little I can glean out of you is, you are more like an Eastern religious practitioner(Tibetan) (?)
Am curious really. if you are not a Christian, on what grounds are you then standing to say Astral Projection is independent of religion?
No matter how much you think you know the Bible sir, you don't know it, because without the Holy Spirit inside of you to help you, the Bible will just be, "Things Fall Apart", A literary text to you. The Word of God is spirit. And yes, there are spirits, but not all spirits give revelational truths.

For all I know, Astral projection is not Holy Spirit induced. In the Bible, anytime the Holy Spirit takes a man out of the body, is to show or give him a revelation of the things to come, or what to do, for the benefit of the kingdom and for others, and you whom the Holy Spirit uses, do nothing, like yoga, chakra(am not sure of the spelling) no meditation, or taking a special seating or lying position.
Behind everything, there's a motive. What's the motive of astral projections?

There was a thread here on NL "How he 'Melin' became a Satanist". The whole talk in there, was about astral projections and different chakrass

My questions:

1. What is the consequences (if any) of speaking in tongues in dreams. I'm not really sure if it is speaking in tongues but I do see myself praying and speaking in tongues in dreams. Though it is not that consistent, maybe like once a month or even once in two months and at time three times in a month. (when I backslided it stopped but after crawling back to Jesus, it started again).
And could that be the reason for not having the Holy spirit, because I'm really thirsty for Him?

2. How can I discern God voice from that of the devil. The only time I heard the voice was like that of someone that used a microphone becuase it was so loud and what I was told happened less than two hrs later. Some says it will be like someone talking to one's mind. But in movies its always like sound of many people into one. And Apostle John also said in REV 1: 10 that it sounded like that of a trumpet. And I heard it through my ears not my mind.

Thanks.

My brother saw the demon behind sleep paralysis.

He experienced that "sleep paralysis " and actually saw the demon. Whenever I experience that paralysis, I immediately take authority and command the dark forces to leave and they do. So I told my bro to do so whenever he experiences that. I also discovered that Whenever I have that sleep paralysis, I see everything as it was even if was sleeping. Sometimes I would feel something trying to pin my spirit down so I could not move my body. I sometimes see my spirit struggling to sit up.

Last night, He had that sleep paralysis and when he opened his eye, he saw the demon. He said it was a small demon with a red body and black face and it was floating. When the demon saw that he could see it, he floated to him and covered his face with his hands. My brother then said that he started firing prayers. During the prayers, his stomach started paining him seriously. It was as if the demon wanted him to stop. When he stops, the pain stops. If he continues, the pain also continues. Later,after praying for sometime and ignoring the pain, he got released.

Now he is afraid to sleep. Whenever he wants to sleep, it is as if it wants to hold him down again.


CharlyG1, what do you suggest he do?

Your question 1 is a sign of an active and I dear say healthy spirit, you might have been baptized in the Spirit but not having enough faith to start speaking in tongues. In my case, I received the Holy Ghost baptism in my bedroom and have been speaking in tongues since, no one prayed with me.

I will recommend Kenneth Haggins book (The Holy Spirit and His Gifts), read through.

To your second question, most times all I hear is a soft voice in my spirit man and it comes almost everytime with a bible verse, the Holy Spirit will never tell you what is not in tandem with the bible, that differentiates it with the voice of the devil besides, His words always come with an unexplainable peace in your heart. I have only heard the audible voice of God once, it was a recitation of verses in the bible that answered a question in my life at that time (I read the verse for the first time weeks later) it is at a conversational level, like two people gisting but it was very audible.

I recommend Kenneth Haggins book (How to be Led by the Holy Spirit).
