The world continues to change in ways that lead us further and further from access to the strength of God. With more than 46 percent of Americans\u00a0caught in the clutches of loneliness<\/a>, it seems as though darkness and entropy is all that\u2019s left to consume our well-being. But, there is\u00a0salvation from the seemingly unavoidable darkness<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord\u2019s followers.<\/span>..<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/sup>As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him.<\/span> He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, \u201cSaul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho are you, lord?\u201d Saul asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the voice replied, \u201cI am Jesus, the one you are persecuting!<\/span><\/span> Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The men with Saul stood speechless, for they heard the sound of someone\u2019s voice but saw no one!<\/span>\u00a0 Acts 9:1, 3-7 (NLT)<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

With every night comes a new day, as God shines his righteous light upon us. The liberation that comes from having a transcendent spiritual experience leads to a greater understanding of one\u2019s self and the true essence of God. By transcending the body\u2019s shackles through an experience above and beyond physiological limitation, it is possible to reunite with God\u2019s Grace and the Holy Spirit\u2019s enlightening power and glory. Beyond the body’s boundary is unspeakable fulfilling joy.<\/p>\n

Recognizing the Holy Spirit<\/span><\/p>\n

So much noise is implanted in our conscious on a daily basis. Life\u2019s responsibilities coupled with the distractions of society\u2019s expectations can cloud our judgement and complicate how we see ourselves. Yet, hope can be rediscovered by letting go of the mind\u2019s anxieties and opening one\u2019s self up to having an out of body experience. Many people\u00a0who’ve gone through such a process<\/a> have found an \u201cincrease in personal knowledge and a deep inner connection to spirit\u201d.<\/p>\n

“Large numbers of people report a profound inner wisdom based on personal experience and express a feeling of being connected to their spiritual essence…\u00a0 a dramatic expansion of their perception capabilities extending far beyond their physical limits\u2014an overwhelming sense of knowing based on direct personal experience… Revelation is actually a vivid account of the writer’s personal out-of-body experience. Read the first few lines of Revelation and you discover the intriguing statement, “I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day.””<\/span><\/em> —William Buhlman<\/span><\/p>\n

Material distractions get in the way of our relationship with God\u2019s Holy Spirit. Already within us, an exceptional spiritual experience can help shed away our material worries, providing the opportunity to see our true essence—God\u2019s love within us. As a part of the Trinity, the holy union between Christ our Lord, the Lord our father, and the Holy Spirit, it\u2019s possible to exit the confines of the physical world and receive guidance from the essence that is the Spirit of our Lord.<\/p>\n

Freeing Yourself for God<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPrayer is man’s steady effort to know God…<\/span> This communion is an attitude of mind and heart. It lifts the individual into a wonderful sense of oneness with God, who is Spirit, the source of every good and perfect thing.\u201d<\/span><\/em> —Charles and Myrtle Fillmore<\/span><\/p>\n

Not everyone can sufficiently sacrifice each obligation in life to pursue undivided devotion to God, but practicing certain routines can help form a stronger connection with the Lord and his light. Varying forms of intensive prayer can grant access to an enlightened state<\/a> that leads one to feel outside the body, making it possible to form a stronger communion with the Holy Spirit. Through a combination of focused breathing, opening the pathway of access through prayer, and reciting of scripture, it\u2019s possible to feel your spirit through what is essentially an out of body experience and become closer to the warmth of the Trinity. The key is to remain open to His righteous love<\/a>. Calm your body and free your mind—feel nothing but the living transformative energy that surrounds your spirit when set free.<\/p>\n

“Prayers are not \u201csent\u201d anywhere. Prayer is an exercise to change our thought habits and our living habits, that we may set up a new and better activity, in accord with the divine law rather than with the suggestions we have received from various sources.\u201d <\/em><\/span>—Myrtle Fillmore<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Be Frightened by Skeptics<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people misinterpret this intimate connection with aspects of the occult, but look no further than 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 for assurance that our souls are more than able to\u00a0truly feel the Holy Spirit\u2019s glory<\/a>: \u201cDo you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.\u201d Within and all around, God\u2019s omnipotence is to be accepted and embraced. Don\u2019t hesitate in going forth and truly experiencing the Lord\u2019s love and presence.<\/p>\n

Embracing God’s Best<\/span><\/p>\n

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.<\/span> Ephesians 3:20 (NLT)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no need to be confined by the limits of the material world. Modern culture preys on our fears for seeking a genuine relationship with God\u2019s benevolence. This shouldn\u2019t deter us though, since it is our calling as children of God to denounce the temptations of life\u2019s frustrations. We must embrace all the best the Lord has to offer, in body, in spirit, and in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
