The Overlooked Reality of the Silver Cord
Among the mysteries of Scripture, few topics are as rarely discussed or as often dismissed as the silver cord. Mentioned briefly in Ecclesiastes 12:6, it is a concept that many believers either overlook or fail to understand. Yet, as testimonies reveal, its significance reaches deep into the spiritual realm. For Christians, understanding the silver cord is not about curiosity but about discernment, as it reveals the very real battles taking place between life and death.

Jennifer Bagnaschi on the Silver Cord
Jennifer Bagnaschi, host of the Deep Believer podcast, recently addressed the subject head-on. “Would you believe that 90% of people have no idea what the silver cord is? Ninety percent of Christians, evangelists, theologians overlook it,” she explained. According to Bagnaschi, this neglect highlights the danger of believers remaining uninformed about spiritual realities while the occult world actively engages with them.

Norman: A Child’s Encounter With Astral Projection
Norman, one of Bagnaschi’s guests, shared his disturbing experiences as a child who practiced astral projection. He described sensing a tether that kept him alive during these out-of-body journeys: “In order to get back into your body, those who astral project need it.” His experience culminated in a frightening moment when his cousin saw only Norman’s disembodied head with glowing eyes, which convinced him never to pursue astral travel again.
Julie: An Ex-Witch Explains the Cord
Julie, a former witch, offered a more detailed explanation of what she encountered in the occult. “That silver cord is what is connecting one and another. So it’s your soul that leaves. It’s like the astral body you have, and the silver cord is the solder in this astral body,” she explained. Julie warned that if the cord is ever severed, the soul cannot return: “If they get out, they can die. They literally, if the silver cord is broken, they die. That’s it.”
Dave: A Pastor’s Testimony of Deliverance
Dave, a pastor who directly battled the occult, recounted an intense encounter with a high-level Satanist named Anton LaVey. During the confrontation, Dave said he heard clear instruction from the Lord: “I heard the voice of the Lord as clear as I’ve ever heard anything, cut his silver cord.” When he prayed in Jesus’ name, Anton’s spirit was unable to return to his body, freeing Dave’s daughter from demonic control. “Suddenly she came bursting through the door, saw me, and she was free,” he recalled.
A Warning for Believers
These testimonies highlight the dangerous reality of the silver cord and the spiritual realm it represents. Scripture reminds us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world” (Eph. 6:12).

Dabbling in occult practices or new age experiences such as astral projection or meditation is not harmless curiosity, it is opening a door to spiritual bondage. The silver cord stands as a reminder of the unseen war Paul spoke of, and the urgent need to remain rooted in Christ, armored with truth and steadfast against the schemes of the enemy.
