Buzzing and Then Stuck In SP
by Debbie
(California)
I have been having SP now since I was about 15, at least that's what I know now. I remember being young and going to bed and in the middle of the night waking up to feeling a strong hold on me and not being able to move or speak and feeling just sheer terror. Until last night I thought it was just really really weird dreams.
A week ago I finally got tired and went to bed probably around 1am and it seemed like I literally just fell asleep, all of a sudden I felt myself get up and walked to my bathroom and noticed my bathroom door was shut which is weird because it never is and I than saw my light was on it there but it was low lighting which was a good indication something was going on.
So then I felt a very tingly feeling and went to open my bathroom door and felt complete fear and said Oh No Not Again, and I woke up. I was still in bed and it was like a total out of body experience. I was completely afraid to go back to sleep so I started watching TV.
So last night it happened again. This time it took a while to fall asleep. I had my fan on and I thought my fan was buzzing but than I realized that no it was terror coming on. So the buzzing got louder and louder and I was completely frozen and than I felt complete evil cover me, I could not speak or move but in my mind I stated singing Chris Tomlin's Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies) and it immediately went away. I felt a sense of calm. I really believe that this is linked to spiritual warefare I really do. I think evil is really trying to take over and we as christians get caught, our faith is tested. I believe I have been being tested. When this happens it is horrific and its hard to describe to someone who has never experienced it. I would never wish it on anyone. I would love to hear other stories on SP and your experiences.
