“EXTREME” and Dangerous Teachings..

This is so extreme I find myself hesitant to even mention it, for surely no Christian could believe its true. But this lady has a huge following, so warn I will because of its grave danger.

• Did you know you, if a Christian, have a set of ‘invisible wings’?

• Have you been one of the ignorant, like me, who thought this scripture was about waiting upon God, who through his Holy Spirit would renew our strength?

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

Well shame on us! We missed a ‘hidden truth’…one which tells us we will actually mount up with those invisible Eagle wings we possess, and be able to fly!
I laugh, but its really no laughing matter.

This evening I watched and listened to a video which teaches Christians about our ability to fly: talk about extreme false teaching, this takes the cake.

From Extreme Prophetic with Patrica King: Transport in the Spirit Part 4. If you didn’t know, she’s one of the Elijah List crowd.

Folks, this is demonic. Do I think this lady really believes this and has experienced ’something herself? Sure…but its not of God. This so-called ‘transport in the Spirit’ she is talking about on this video is nothing more then a demoniacally inspired delusion.

Astral Projection, soul travel, or ‘flying’ is an occult practice, an out of body experience produced through meditation or witchcraft. It is an occult practice and powered by evil spirits. Once a person allows this soulish control over his/her spirit, they can enter the spirit realm to even converse to demons, falsely believing them to be ‘God’s Angels’. We are to be under the guidance and control of the Holy Spirit. These people have yielded their bodies and minds to Satan’s use. This ability is not from God no matter how pleasant or exciting the experience.

Astrology, astral projection (out-of-body experiences), incantations, mediumship (channeling), necromancy, raising psychic power, is all Witchcraft.

An excellent explanation of what out-of- body or astral projection is from Christian Answers for the New Age:

Astral Projection, Astral Travel, Astral Plane – Also known as out-of-body experience (OBE), this is a practice in which a person believes their astral self separates from the body and travels to other physical locations or possibly to an astral realm. Sometimes the person merely hovers above his/her body, especially during medical operations or severe accidents. This experience may be a physiologically caused hallucination. Astral travel is referred to in ancient practices from Egypt and Tibet, and is also written about by some ancient writers such as Plato, Plotinus and others (Guiley, Encyclopedia of the Mystical & Paranormal, 420). The astral self is a major belief of Theosophy (a religion based on Hinduism founded in the late 19th century by occultist Madame Blavatsky) and of other religions that divide a person into various essences and parts. The astral self is part of the etheric body and separates from the body at death. However, many occult teachings hold that the astral self can leave the body during life. The astral self is non-material but can be visible to those in material form, though not always. In many New Age and occult belief systems, such as the cult of Eckankar, it is thought to be good, although potentially dangerous, to practice astral travel, and techniques to do this are taught. Some beliefs posit several planes of reality, such as the causal, spiritual, mental, astral and material, each being a realm through which the soul eventually passes. Teachings somewhat similar to this are in Tibetan Buddhism, as espoused in The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which gives advice on preparing for what will happen after death. Some believe the Akashic Records are part of the astral plane. Astral projection is also used by those calling themselves psychic vampires, who believe they can leave their body and in astral form secretly feed off the spirit or energy of another person. There is no clear evidence that astral projection is real, though there are stories from those who claim to practice it that make it seem as though it is real (including this writer, who experienced astral projection frequently). However, proponents of astral projection do not account for spiritual deception and would dismiss this as a possible explanation.

Some claim that Paul in Second Corinthians 12:1-5 is speaking of an out-of-body or astral experience. However, first of all, Paul says that he does not know if he was in his body or not, so the value of this as an astral or out-of-body experience is totally diminished at the very beginning of the account. Secondly, this is a revelation and experience that God initiated and gave to Paul; Paul did not seek this out or initiate it. Thirdly, Paul did not reveal what he saw because he was not permitted (verse 4). Fourth, this experience or visionary revelation is not the point of the passage, but is used to make another point, that Paul cannot boast of anything because he is a weak man and God keeps Paul humble through his weakness (verses 6-10). There is no endorsement of astral travel in this passage and using it as such is a gross misuse and twisting of the passage.

The advocates of astral travel teach that one can learn to initiate the experience and that it can be of spiritual benefit, but the benefits are measured according to the teachings and standards of those advocating it, and these teachings are all rooted in occult philosophies.
