I want to start a tread talking about dreams and spiritual experiences. Join in....I am very prone to dreaming about things that tend to happen or there is always a message in my dreams that I am able to interpret. Along with my dreaming, I recently and more than once have had an experience of the feeling of being "held down"...not being able to move my body, yell out or open my eyes.....i will elaborate more, does anyone relate??
Are you haveing any revelations of any kind? If yes.. Paul had some revelations and visions that caused him to have a messenger of Satan to buffet him. You need to take "pleasure" in what this bad spirit is doing to you...so that the "Power of Christ" can rest apon you.
Dont be afraid of this spirit, it wont hurt you, it will just make you feel terrible at that time. Or it could be a medical condition called sleep paralisis. You will know if it is, if the above info does'nt work. And if you have any sin in your life you must repent (turn) from it..
Forgot to mention, this has happend to me also after a few revelations from God...but mine also caused a banging sensation in my head.
Now if you are haveing revelations or dreams that reveal somthing to you from God, the best thing to do is not boast about them...
2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,
the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. I will pray for you and your family also, and keep your mind on good things not bad, use your faith...Jesus Loves you
God bless
