Sleep Paralysis and lucid dreaming

templar i too have experienced sleep paralysis and it was usually during the same time as deep spiritual warfare. this leads me to conclude that sleep paralysis is somehow connected to spiritual warefare at the very least.
as for astral projection, i think you've already figured out how to handle that one. let's just put it this way, there's a band that has a song called astral romance and i won't even listen to that band let alone even consider practicing it.

OK, that's sorted.. I do order them to the pit as you said.

Why did jeus comply with their wishes though and let them go into the pigs. Why didn't he deny it to them? What were pigs doing there anywa sine jews an't eat them?

As for astral projection. Nway, no way, no way. What if I was outsid emy body and soemthing else got in? it doesn't bear thinking about.

Christ was in the area of Perea per the event of Mark 5. That was a place on the 'other side' of the Jordan river from Samaria. The healed man then went to Decapolis in Syria to reveal what our Lord Jesus had done per Christ's command (Mark 5:20). So that's pretty much pointing to that man being a Gentile, or at the least with Gentiles living in that area of Perea and Decapolis.

A thought just went through my mind ..... maybe you could test it and let us know the results.

Dark Sprits really dislike even hearing the Name of Jesus Christ , so with that in mind what if you had some nice Christian music playing in the background in your bedroom while you sleep.

I wonder if it would help. There again , it is possible your particular situation is a medical one and not a spiritual one.

OK, so the pigs belonged to gentiles but why did Jesus let the spirits go into them, why didn't he just banish them to the pit?

Best answer I could give would be just another question like, why doesn't He simply ban every evil spirit to the pit during this world? Obviously, they have a purpose upon the wicked, those who turn away from Him.

I think we over-estimate our importance in the universe. Demons are greater creations than humans, but still have to live by the rules. I'm sure God consider's it a crime for a demon to assault one of his children.

The advice I have for Templar is know your a Child of God and remember that always. Be confident in the relationship that Jesus has secured for you. May you be compelled to laugh at the futility of the assault if it happens again.

Evil spirits have NO power of their own, and certainly are not greater creations than us. They are spirit world misfits, and they only exist to trick people who ALLOW it. They still exist for the same reason that God is using Satan until it's time for his destruction in the future lake of fire. Isaiah 10 gives a picture of how God is using Satan for this present world, for Satan and his angels have already been judged and sentenced.

This is why the main thing we need to remember, and reveal to those without Christ Jesus, is that they by default become subject to influence of the devils by not turning to The Father through His Son.
