Ep. 836 - Virtual Reality Opens Door to Digital Escapism and the Demonic Realm - Vicki Joy Anderson

Is virtual reality safe? Does it pose a threat to our children? Does escaping into a world of fantasy open us up to spiritual attacks? Vicki Joy Anderson makes the case that social media, virtual reality, and escapism can have a dark side, tempting kids to remain immersed in a fantasy world where they can live out their wildest dreams - but it’s a trap. We need to embrace reality, she says, rather than focusing on what we wish we had. “We have to be able to look ourselves in the mirror and be content with the life God gave us,” she declares. She also talks about the signs of dangerous dreaming, astral abduction, and scary out-of-body experiences triggered by trauma and kinks in our spiritual armor.
