We know that OBE is a legitimate, Biblical thing to have happen by the verses below. ,,,,or that someone can be caught away to another place without going under their own steam? I know a Pastor who wrote in a journal he left for his Grandson that he had been caught away one night to be with a Friend who was dying in the local Hospital. He prayed for him and he recovered...he listed a few times that he had been caught away. His Grandson inherited his church and also his Gift of preaching...He believes it happened because his Grandfather was a good, God-fearing man. He didn't find out about this until his Grandfather died. I think I would have told someone or everyone.. :-D but that's just me...
What do you think? Could it happen today?
Ezekiel the prophet said that the Spirit took him up by the lock of his hair to Jerusalem (Ezek. 8:1-4) while his physical body remained in his house before the elders. Apostle Paul said that he was caught up to the third heaven and saw unspeakable things. He did not know whether he was in his body or not (2 Cor. 12:1-4). Jesus confirmed these two witnesses when He transformed His physical body into a spiritual but still touchable body at the transfiguration (Matt. 17:1-10). He walked through a wall....His inner man, stepped out of His clay house (Job 4:19), and showed the disciples His true Glorious body".
In the example below, Phillip was taken from one place to another in the Spirit.
Act 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Act 8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
I personally think it can happen today and probably has. People think you are off your rocker just to talk about speaking in tongues,,I guess they would freak out if you mentioned being caught away in the spirit. It hasn't happened to me.....I've been out of my head a couple of times but never out of my body.
