 There's this "attack" i had way back in my university daysi mean u feel pressed down or rather held to the bed with force by unseen hands. One particular day,it was so bad i had my eyes wide open, my body became heavy and i couldnt utter a word, i wasnt sleeping oh,just lying down on my bed(upper bunk) i had to plead the blood of Jesus! with my very last strenght My friends,coursemates said they'd had similar weird experiences too. Anyone else ever had this experience? |

hardleyC: Hmmmm! That's a spiritual example of an oppression of the devil. It happens most time you fail to pray before going to bed. I use to have that experience back then, but now I'm free. Thank God for Jesus!!! 1 Like |

It normal thng naw, but 4 baby believers of christ or cal it less-spirited christian. I had d xperience wen i was a baby xtian, wen i visitd my occultic uncle in ph. He did dat so dat i wil neva com 2 his house agn. Dats once since i was born and neva agn and neva wil it hapen agn. But its very frequent in d south and east lyk AKS, whe witches and wizards is much. But cnt hapen naw 2me and 2 tough-spiritd xtians. So check urself: 1. Are u a true and real believer of xist-spirtual strong? 2. Check ur roomate or neighbours, theres a culprit. But u can catch hm/ha real gud. 1 Like |

kunletiwoo: It could be a spiritual attack but wrong that it happens cos you fail to pray at night. That is not true. It stops once you are truly saved and you are enlightened about the deceptions of the devil. 1 Like |

I experience it sometimes when i decide to take an afternoon nap. I sometimes concluded it was spiritual but again after taking a good look at my self i decided it was not. Even tried asking mom and bro if they experience such but what they described didn't really match mine. I wanted to google but wondered what to type. After seeing martian post, the pic became clearer. |

A man with an experience is not at the mercy of the man with an argument. Why does 'sleep paralysis' flee at the mention of the wonderful name of Jesus? 1 Like |

There's absolutely nothing spiritual about it. Its refered to as sleep paralysis and has to do with ur sensory neurons not yet fully activated even though u r awake.....its a sleep disorder though. |

Image123: It rarely happens. It depends on how you sleep. The last time I was in sleep paralysis was years ago. It doesnt happen to everyone. However, dont go claiming that it doesnt happen to you because of Jesus, because that is just clear stupidity. |

Image123: Glad you said that. The names of Jesus and THE GREAT LEPRECHAUN were tested in a controlled environment and the experiment did conclude that the magnificently fabulous name of THE GREAT LEPRECHAUN is more powerful than the name Jesus. In fact the name Jesus was so impotent that we had to try different versions of the name. We tried Yeshua, Yehoshua, and Iesous but there were all equally useless. |

I have lmao...chei. I used to have them and I would tell my parents. we would pray and pray after I have had them. It wasn't funny. Eventually, a pastor concluded that my paternal Grandmother was responsible for the surreal phenomenon. This created enmity between my dad and his mother even as I write. I have since left the world of fairy tales and have completely dissociated myself from any form of religious balderdash. It's got me a fair share of enemies but I am better for it. I now live a healthier and happier life. You ask, do I still have them? I haven't had one in like a year and if it comes again, I couldn't be bordered, knowing it one of those natural things. I can't wait to get back to naija and give my grandma a big hug. She's been immensely wronged. 1 Like |

Martian: Good magical thinking guys. Now let's get back to reality. Heellloooo, even the links you posted suggests it's not a natural thing. You see words like mystic, psychic, hallucination, out of body experiences and so on. |

joe4christ: It means that people who have sleep paralysis experience what some call "out of body experiences". Out of body experiences can also be explained and you can find that information easily.
