Spiritual Warfare
There is something about spiritual warfare, an aspect of it that most people are blind to. Apparently one of the Enemy's attacks/tactics is to separate us from reality. To make us feel like we are living in a dream. To lie to us to the point that we doubt our very existence. He takes our mind, I don't mean in a medeforical sense, into a sort-of unconcious conciousness much like that of when we are watching a really intense movie. As if we are in a movie and pain and death don't actually exist. He can do this when we are half asleep, while dreaming, while watching a film, listening to music or just flat out when we feel so far from God that we doubt his very existence. I just experienced that. I'm starting to wake up but it was scary. No, I'm not completly out of it....I feel like I'm in a dream and it's freaking me out. "Lord wake me up! Alert my mind to the life and reality around me. I wonder if some people go temporarily insame because of the enemy's work in their lives. Insanity or Spiritual Warfare that plays with your mind and disconnects you from reality.
Hmmm....I pray against this. Lord Jesus, you are in me! You reign, forever more, in my life. And I belive you are the Son of God you lived, died and ROSE AGAIN, conquering death and all fear of it. I LOVE YOU LORD. TAKE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've also felt it when I'm listening to music and then I come so close to God and everything else seems to fade. maybe the enemy tries to do the same kind of thing for its own purpose. I'll be praying...

I think that your prayer is the beginning of understanding of the great mystery of spiritual warfare. We live in a physical world, and the battle is in the spiritual realm. We must allow the Lord to take over, and battle for us in the realms that we cannot see. Till we are translated into that realm of sinless perfection, held tightly in the arms of Christ. Even so Lord Jesus Come!
Aaron, when I listen to music, I find the same thing that I come so close to God that things seem to fade away. I find such sweet release for my soul in music, I find in songs men who have gone through the same things that I struggle with, and how they looked to the Lord and gave him the praise.
Matt music can be what the Lord is playing in someones heart, that draws them nearer to his bleading side. Like the word to "Draw Me Nearer"
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
There is no one method to which God speaks, he speaks through all things and by all means.
