After talking with a very wise woman of God, I have realized the error of my last post. First of all, I have recognized that in my pursuit of astral projection I was doing it for my own selfish reasons and my own glory, when all things should be done for the glory of God. I was trying to do it by my own power and not through God. Secondly, I have realized that what many "professionals" on the subjects call "helpers" that you meet when you astral project are not really helpers, but the exact opposite. These helpers are really demons that will tell lies and deceive you. I believe that it is by God's grace that he did not allow me to travel to the spirit realm. If God had allowed me to do so, his cover would be removed from me and I would be exposed to whatever may truly be in that realm. The scariest thing is that even though I am a christian, these demons that dwell there could easily lie and deceive me into believing something that is not true. The fact is that I may not be grounded enough in my faith and in my walk with the Lord to be able to discern truth from lies. They would lie in such a way that you would not know it as being not of God and so by his grace he did not allow me to go and be deceived.
Instead of attempting myself to see things in the spirit I have realized that I need to leave it to God. What I need to do is humble myself before God and trust in him in the little things and he will pour out more on me. I have to be obedient in the little things that he asks me to do and learn to trust in him before I can receive the gifts that he has waiting for me. Once I learn to do that he will pour out his blessings and gifts. Every day I have to ask to hear him and listen to what he is telling me. Every man has the spiritual gifts that Jesus had of healing, raising the dead, making the blind to see, the lame to walk, if you submit yourself and let him use you as his tool only for the glory of God. As for flying, in the end times when we are called up and given our new bodies, I believe that we will sour with the angels and see things that no man has seen and we will truly be beautiful.
