You and I are totally agreeing, except you called what these guys are into as fantasy and I'm trying to show them, as you have said, that it's anything other than fantasy.. what they are tapping into is a "power" from the world of the demonic. These are very true and very real powers to those who are involved. They are demonic in nature, and for the ones involved provide the perfect counterfeit to keep them from turning to the one and only true source of power.
I agree 100% we will see more and more of it.. but it's not fantasy to those who are involved, and that is my point. The warnings are very important, .. why else would God tell us to run away from them. Why are the Biblical warnings for those involved so strong? Why do they talk of terrible eternal punishment for those involved? It's purely and simply because
1. For the person involved in them, the experiences blind their eyes to a need for a saviour and lead them away from God. In other words, Jesus died in vain in their case and they die in their sin.
2. Their so called reality experiences lead others away from the true power source.. God Himself. As others see what they have to offer, they get caught up in it to, and so they too are stopped from seeing the living God.
The truly exciting thing about all this are these words....
Eph 2:7
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins. in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also, lived amongst them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following it's desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature, objects of wrath. But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions, because it is by grace you have been saved."
