One thing I do ask every night before going to bed is that you pray that Put on the whole armor of God.
If you ever wake up in the middle of an abduction in your bedroom, start praying. I've read where people have stopped adbuctions by simply praying
God's Prayer or just saying 'IN the name of Jesus Christ let me go".
Hi Enrage,
Without wishing to express any views on the matter, I thought you might be interested in some references to further discussions of warding off
abductions by prayer. References I've noted include the following:
1. "Appeal to spiritual personages" discussed by Druffel, Ann in "The Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters" (2001) (edited by Ronald Story)
at page 492(in an entry entitled "resistance techniques against alien abduction") of the New American Library softcover edition, at page 481 of the
pdf edition (with the same page numbering in the Microsoft Word edition). (Also discussed by Druffel, Ann in "The Mammoth Encyclopedia of
Extraterrestrial Encounters" (2001) (edited by Ronald Story) at page 591 (in an entry entitled "resistance techniques against alien abduction") of
the Robinson softcover edition.)
2. "Abductions halted in Jesus's name" discussed by Ron Rhodes in his "Alien Obsession: What Lies Behind Abductions, Sightings and the Attraction
to the Paranormal" (1998) at pages 169-171 (in Chapter 11) of the Harvest House softcover edition.
3. List of faith based actions (and risk factors) presented by Missler, Chuck and Mark Eastman in their "Alien Encounters: The Secret behind the UFO
Phenomenon" (1997) at pages 329-332 (in the first Appendix) of the Koinonia House softcover edition.
4. Advice against taking concerns about abductions to the clergy given by LaVigne, Michelle in her "The Alien Abduction Survival Guide" (1995) at
pages 29-30 (in Chapter 4) of the Wild Flower Press softback edition.
Of course, most of the discussions about preventing/stopping alien abductions do not relate to the use of prayer. Discussions that I've read range
from the comments on the use of medication and/or psychiatric treatment, to a wide range of other techniques. Such other techniques include physical
struggle or mental struggle with the "abductors", faith, visualisation techniques, the use of "repellents" (including iron objects, small
electrical applicances and herbs) to the use of recording devices/sensors.
I've outlined below the main sources of discussion of other methods that I'm aware of.
The most comprehensive collection of relevant discussions that I've read so far is in Ann Druffel's book "How to defend your against alien
abductions" (1998). See the reviews of that book on Amazon at:
www.amazon.com...
It is worth noting that Ann Druffel has summarised her views in:
(a) "The Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters" (2001)(edited by Ronald Story) at pages 491-493 (in an entry entitled "resistance techniques
against alien abduction") of the New American Library softcover edition, at pages 480-481 of the pdf edition (with the same page numbering in the
Microsoft Word edition).
(b) in "The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters" (2001) (edited by Ronald Story) at pages 591-592 (in an entry entitled "resistance
techniques against alien abduction") of the Robinson softcover edition.
Another book which discusses surviving alien abductions (but generally by discussing how to adopt a positive attitude, rather than preventing the
experiencs) is Michelle LaVigne's "The Alien Abduction Survival Guide" (1995). See reviews on Amazon at:
www.amazon.com...
Other discussions in books that I've noted include: (a) David Coomer in his "The UFO Investigator's Guide" (1999) at pages 52-53 (in Chapter 4) of
the Blandford softback edition.
(b) Charles F Emmons in his "At The Threshold: UFOs, Science and the New Age" (1997) at pages 178-179 (in Chapter 9) of the Wild Flower Press
softcover edition.
Material currently on the Internet on this subject appears to be relatively limited. I think the most substantive discussions I've seen of different
techniques is at the website below (which, as the author of that website acknowledges) is largely based on the book by Ann Druffel mentioned above:
