The Bible, a Spiritual Trampoline

When one wants to explore the life of the Spirit, one must be careful not to deviate from the Bible.

God has given us His Word as a guide. The Bible is THE Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit. You must rely on it to filter and inspire your spiritual experiences.

Filtering your spiritual experiences means that you must refuse to venture into spiritual experiences that would be contrary to the Bible. Many non-Christian people have spiritual experiences related to spiritualism, witchcraft, astral travel, etc.

What will protect you from coming into contact with demons and what will protect you from the enemy's wiles and deception is to examine all spiritual experience in light of the Bible.

I like using the image of the trampoline. A trampoline allows you to jump high and do acrobatic tricks. The deeper you go into the trampoline, the higher you bounce. In the same way, the Bible inspires our spiritual experiences. The more we dive into the Word of God, the more we discover the mysteries of God, the more we experience with the Holy Spirit. These experiences may seem "acrobatic" to rational thinking, such as healing the sick, speaking in tongues, or receiving words of knowledge. But as long as you fall back on the trampoline (the Bible), you are safe. What is dangerous is to jump on a trampoline, do a back somersault and fall back on the ground next to the trampoline. Don't let the sensational aspect (feeling) prevent you from examining whether what you are experiencing is biblical or not.

The Bible shows you how God speaks, how you should react, and what you should not do. Indeed, we see in the lives of biblical characters their mistakes and steps of faith.

Would you like to pray with me?

Lord, I bring to You my fears and ignorance. I come to You as a child. In the same way that I can speak French, I believe that You are leading me to learn to speak the language of the Holy Spirit. I choose not to give up. Thank You because You are with me, and even though I make mistakes, Your Spirit and Your Word are there to guide me. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

I hope this plan has made you thirsty and hungry to hear from God and to receive visions.

I invite you to discover my audioguide, 21 Days Of Listening to God's Voice, to learn how to recognize God's sweet voice. It will be a perfect companion for your fast.
