So and I am honestly seeking here... Are you saying it is always a bad thing? Because I believe it was during a time when I was in a prayerful meditative state that I was filled with the Holy Spirit! Something very very positive changed in my life after that and I have been completely more in love with The Lord Jesus! I was focused on God and meditating on Him and surrendering myself to him fully when it happened. I then did feel energy move through me. Just like what others on the site describe as bad energy, but with me it was and has been nothing but positive. I am more in touch with God now it seems and desire to serve him more! I fully believe all of the scripture and am very sensitive to the enemies tricks of the mind. I lived in bondage a long time and never want to go back there. Therefore. I do not go messing around with the occult. I won't even do Yoga for fitness exercises because of this very reason! I believe what the bible teaches in Jeremiah about seeking "diviners" and using witchcraft by speaking curses. It's a very real thing! So, please help me understand. How could my experience have been like this if it is always a thing that should be avoided as you stated? And I do mean that in love. I am not casting any judgment, just becoming fearful and don't want to give way to fear! I Peter3:6 clearly states NOT to do that either!!
