    Help me understand Biblically what went wrong..

    It was an exception and not a rule. It was my first 7 day fast. I don’t think that a measure of set apart devotional time was the problem in and of itself, but I do appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

    Help me understand Biblically what went wrong..

    I believe I was born again yet I always walked with a limp in the areas regarding security because I wrestled hard for years with blasphemous thoughts after accepting Jesus. It came on me all at once when I started reading my Bible. When I accepted Him it was like I could see and feel the...

    Furthermore I would add that I don’t believe this to be born of any mental health issues. I was of a clear and sober mind as I went into this. My self examinations have been honest and critical. I did not mention here because it wasn’t relevant, but when these experiences began they came upon...

    No. I was not on drugs or alcohol. I repented and turned from that lifestyle long ago. It’s been 14 years since my conversion and experimenting with the DMT. This experience was born entirely of fasting and praying. I shut myself away from my wife and kids and basically prayed 7 days straight.

    Since I mentioned my views on interpretation and ended up in the opposite direction; I want to describe that a bit as well how that came to be. I took a particular interest in Old Testament typology for a bit. I found the symbolic types of Christ particularly fascinating. There are many...

    Help me understand Biblically what went wrong..

    Sure. About 14 years ago at the age of 23 I I came to faith in Jesus after dabbling in what I now know is witchcraft. I had a terrifying experience with a hallucinogen DMT and fled to the Bible afterwards. I came slowly because It was just me and a Bible. I couldn’t give a date, but there was...

    Help me understand Biblically what went wrong..

    Hi all. I joined this forum recently in search of understanding of what happened to me and if it can be remedied. I tend to get long winded when I try to type this out so I will try my best to keep my statements concise as I can I fell from a solid Biblical walk into mysticism, trusting...

    I had a mystical experience that has damaged my faith. Seeking prayer.

    So I don’t know if I articulated this very well, but I am waking up every night having this weird pulsating feeling in my body. When it first started around the time of the incident, I was waking up weeping heavily and my entire body was trembling. It was some sort of spiritual thing, and...

    I had a mystical experience that has damaged my faith. Seeking prayer.

    I have struggled with this allot in my walk. I don’t know if you have read John Bunyon’s “ Grace abounding to the chiefest of sinners” but it deals heavily with the wretched thoughts life of the flesh. It tortured me for the first 3 years of my faith. Eventually the experience made me a very...

    I had a mystical experience that has damaged my faith. Seeking prayer.

    Thanks. I have heard the term from A.W. Tozer before. I can honestly say I have walked in it before, but I can’t say that I am currently. I used to have the word in my heart and be blessed to have it “speak to me” in a sense. That is to say that an appropriate scripture would come to my mind...

    I had a mystical experience that has damaged my faith. Seeking prayer.

    Hi everyone. I’ve come to this forum for the purpose of seeking prayers, encouragement and guidance regarding my current spiritual state. To put it concisely I fasted and prayed for 7 days which eventually resulted in me having mystical experiences. This eventually led to me experiencing...

    Hi all

    My experience is almost the opposite. I came out of witchcraft into Christianity so I held fast to solid doctrine. I was biblically grounded reading my Bible for hours a day. I was aware of all the nonsense that goes around under the guise of Christianity, but after 10 years in the faith and...

    Hi all

    Hi everyone. I am a believer of roughly 14 years. I am here to seek for help, prayers and perhaps guidance. If someone could point me to the best area of this forum for that purpose I would be grateful. To get right to the point I got caught up in Christian mysticism and false doctrine. I...
