A Surprising Invitation

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2329636/fan_mail/new] Theresa contemplates if she actually died in the night. This is a special episode, I know it because I thought I had all her episodes uploaded and went back to double check and I found this one, I had somehow missed it! There's something special here... Perhaps the Lord is inviting Theresa into spiritual out of body experiences. I've heard of the Lord transporting people to other locations while they're sleeping to minister to others. Sometimes He asks them if they want to go to heaven for a visit! My own husband had a similar experience of his spirit floating up at the ceiling at night and the impression that he could just go right through the wall or go out through the ceiling! This is biblical friends and some will embark and be radically blessed some will shy away, but if Yeshua (Jesus Hebrew name) is doing the inviting, GO! It is an honor while we are on this earth. Listen to my song by Tierza Joy Music called "Into Sapphire" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L86w58PmycI&list=RDL86w58PmycI&start_radio=1] Testing the Spirits 1 John 4:1 [https://biblehub.com/1_john/4-1.htm] advises believers to “test the spirits, to see whether they are from God”. Spiritual experiences-including any sense of separation from the body-must align with Scripture’s teachings and the character of God. Any phenomenon contradicting the Bible’s central message is suspect. A Good Check If a presence comes to you, do you sense peace or evil? Ask: "Are you the one true God, the Holy One of Israel who came in the flesh, died for my sins and on the third day rose again? Out-of-body experiences generally refer to instances in which individuals feel as though their consciousness has separated from their physical form. While the modern term “out-of-body experience” does not appear in Scripture, the Bible includes accounts and teachings that can help shape our understanding of the soul, the body, and the spiritual realm. II. Key Biblical Passages Often Referenced 1. Paul’s Experience (2 Corinthians 12:2-3 [https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/12-2.htm]) Paul writes that he knows “a man in Christ who…was caught up to the third heaven.” He states he is unsure if it was “in the body or out of it” (2 Corinthians 12:2-3 [https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/12-2.htm]). This language has led many to wonder whether he is describing an actual out-of-body journey, a vision, or some other supernatural experience. Regardless of the exact nature, Paul presents this event as genuinely spiritual and deeply profound. 2. John’s Revelation (Revelation 1:10 [https://biblehub.com/revelation/1-10.htm]) John states he was “in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” (Revelation 1:10 [https://biblehub.com/revelation/1-10.htm]) when he received the visions recorded in the Book of Revelation. Although not explicitly described as an out-of-body state, John indicates a spiritual condition that allowed him to perceive realities beyond normal sight. 3. Ezekiel’s Visions (Ezekiel 8:3 [https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/8-3.htm]) Ezekiel writes of being lifted “by a lock of my hair, and the Spirit lifted me between earth and heaven” (Ezekiel 8:3 [https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/8-3.htm]). This suggests divinely granted encounter where he was taken to see events in Jerusalem from a vantage point he could not naturally reach. III. The Nature of the Soul and Body in Scripture Scripture portrays humans as composed of both material (body) and immaterial (spirit/soul) aspects. Passages such as 1 Thessalonians 5:23 [https://biblehub.com/1_thessalonians/5-23.htm] (“may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept bla
