The Christian and the Paranormal

Paranormal and the Christian go hand in hand.

Is it a action of unexplained events or experiences that defies the human logic and physical environment we are accustomed to but also interacts with in our sense of our surroundings.

Paranormal activity is all around us and interacts with us in one degree or another even if one chooses to ignore it fact remains the spirit world exist.

Most spiritual religions for lack of a better term are in deed paranormal and if you are a Christian you are engaged in the supernatural which is paranormal and we find this evident with in the entire book we know as the Holy Scripture the Bible and the scripture makes it clear in spiritual warfare the interaction of demons and angels and most important the action spiritual interaction between the LORD and his creation.

Sadly most “Christians” do fear the paranormal and scoff and down play the experience because on one hand many of those who seek the GOD ‘s in filling better know as the infilling of the holy Ghost and in doing this seeking a relationship with a spirit are in deed seeking to be in the realm of the spirit or paranormal.

It is the blind leaders who have chosen to ignore a vital point in being a Christian the interaction with the spirit world.

The Bible is a book that takes the physical world and transposes it in the spiritual dimension and the reverse is also true the spiritual world manifest it’s self into the physical realm the two planes interact but transformation takes place.

One example is the very creator of all this the LORD manifested Himself the human physical realm as a man and we know that manifestation as Jesus Christ First Timothy 3:16

The LORD Jesus demonstrated the very act of what we now call paranormal and The LORD walked through walls and transported from point one to point two and with in the eighth chapter of Acts we read Philip being transported and converses and baptized the Ethiopian and this defies the narrow mind of humans science and it’s limitations to understand that we as humans are more then flesh and that we are indeed made by a creator who is spiritual and has placed that with in all mankind.

So why do Christians fear the paranormal ?

It is because the leadership has not embraced the truth and heart of the reality of spiritual power and it’s existence and warfare that exist with in our world today.

They are not committed to the realty that spirit is real and that physical is temporary.

This mind frame is one reason so many Christan bodies or congregation see no real move of the LORD because there is no real belief in the spiritual interaction however it makes no difference weather one believes in the spiritual realm or not it still exist and there is no science to prove or disprove but we can not rely solely on science but the human experience is the best way and this is why we have paranormal investigations to capture with ear or eye or touch and or all the sense we have.

A real Christian if he or she is in conversation with the LORD they are in deed in the realm of paranormal and the response is from a divine encounter.

There many who are seeking the infilling of GOD into their spirit and desire to speak in a spiritual or heavenly language or may I say a Paranormal language this has become known as speaking in other tongues or glossolalia.

Let us read Luke 9:37-38 ; 10:17-20 : John 20:11-12,19-28

Acts 2:2-4 ; 10:44 ; 13:4-13 ; 19:13-17

Joel chapter 3

First Corinthians 22:10-16

The scripture is not limited to just these passages there are 370 references to spirit and they go by definition like this:

Hebrew/Aramaic

Strongs: 178 necromancer, medium

5397 shamah breath, life

7307 ruwach, breath; wind; life- spirit

Greek

4151 pneuma spirit

5326 phantasma; spectre, apparition (phantasma, fan-tas-mah to appear a (mere) show.

46 references to spirits as def as above

27 references to spiritual ( strongs: Greek 4152 pneumatikos; spiritual )

3 references to spiritually ( Strongs Greek 4153pneumatikos/ non – physical)

See as a Christian we have no other way to put it as Christians we are in direct contact and interaction with the spiritual or paranormal if you will.
