131: Is Déjà vu a Spiritual Experience?




Theology For the Rest of Us | Quick Answers to the Questions About God and the Bible show

Summary: <br> <br> Déjà vu is a French term that literally means "already seen" and refers to a phenomenon that many people have claimed to experience wherein they experience having a strong sensation that an event, that is currently being experienced, has already been experienced at some point in the past.<br> <br> So this begs the question: Is this phenomenon a spiritual experience? Is this experience, in some way, God speaking to us or guiding us?<br> <br> In this episode, Kenny highlights both the scientific and metaphysical explanations for this phenomenon. Kenny also addresses the wrong assumption and false belief that this phenomenon could somehow be evidence for reincarnation (see Hebrews 9:27-28). Kenny also gives us a great reminder that the only spiritual experience that we ought to be seeking is the cultivation of personal friendship and intimate communion with the Holy Spirit.
