I was sleeping in my bed one night and was slightly awakened in the middle of the night. All of a sudden my spirit began to gently lift out of my body. I had been laying on my stomach as my spirit lifted straight up over my body and went through the wall into the backyard. I was still laying on my stomach as I went through the wall and was completely aware of what had happened. I was no longer sleep but very much awake and very much aware; I knew I had left my body and I knew I was in the backyard. I was amazed because it was just around that period of time that I was becoming aware that our spirits leave our bodies every night to receive divine instructions, comfort and problem solving solutions on higher spiritual plains.

Have you ever gone to bed with a problem weighing heavily on you and woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and comforted? That's because you have received divine instruction and assurance from God that everything is going to be all right while in the spiritual realm.

Well, anyway I knew that I could do in spiritual body every thing I could do in my physical body and more. So, to test this I reached down as I was about an arm's lenght from the ground and picked up some sand that was on the ground beneath me and I felt the texture of it as it ran through my fingers! I began to look around the backyard and saw a sheet that I had been looking for for a few weeks and it was hanging on the clothesline and I thought, "there is that sheet I had been looking for." Then I knew I could just speak or rather think and be anywhere in the world I wanted to be in this body. I thought about going to my granmother's house about 400 miles away but, decided against it because I didn't want to get too far away from my body just in case I couldn't get back to it. So, I thought "up" and the more I thought it the higher my spirit began to rise until I was at the height of the top of the house over the roof. Then I began to think "down" and began to descend. Once I began to think "back into my body" then I went through the wall again and went back into my body the same way I left from it. Imediately my eyes opened in my physical body and I rememeber saying, "that was so cool, God!"

I told my mother the next morning. But, before I did I ran outside into the backyard that I never go into and there was the sheet I saw the night before hanging on the clothesline and I went to the place where I picked up the sand a saw little marks where my fingers had picked up the sand as it slid through my fingers.

Let me tell you all something: God has so much prepared for us if we would only receive it. We are not alone and if we can only grab hold to who we are: we are spirts in physical bodies made after His own image. If we would take advantage of Jesus' redemptive power, His Holy Spirit that's been sent to lead and guide us into all truths, the angels he sends to help us on this journey and the divine spiritual help we receive when we leave our bodies at night.. our life would be such much easier and sweether on this earth. We have so much help! Just receive the Lord Jesus by faith and it is all available to you too.
