My Dream

Okay, I haven't had a dream in a few weeks...that I can remember and talk about and think about, anyways. But last night, I had one of my "unforgettable" dreams.

I had fallen asleep in the living room in my husband's recliner reading the bible.

I dream't that I was asleep in the living room in my husband's recliner. Does that make sense? I had actually fallen asleep there, but I was dreaming that I was asleep there, also.

And an evil spirit came in the living room. It started disarranging things in my house. It started wreaking havoc with everything in my house. And I immediately knew that it was doing this to create confusion when I woke up. I would be confused as to what had happened in my house while I was asleep. Confusion is a tool of the enemy!

But then this evil spirit started pointing to things and claiming them. It pointed to my furniture and stated, "Those are mine." It pointed to all my material things surrounding me and stated, "Those are mine." It pointed to the walls surrounding me in my house, stated, "This is mine."

But then it pointed to my baby sleeping in the recliner next to me and said, "He is mine."

I cried, "You may try to claim his body, but not his spirit. His spirit belongs to God!"

That was when I was scared so badly that I immediately woke up.

Of course, everything was in it's place and nothing was touched. But I took the baby and crawled into bed next to my strong husband.

The next morning I immediately remembered the dream and told my husband. He said with dreams like that you have to plead the name and blood of Jesus. But I don't remember to do that in my dreams. I guess I should have done it right after I woke up. But this afternoon after church, that's what I've been doing, rebuking the name and the power of the devil. Pleading the blood of Jesus over my children.

I see this dream in two ways.

One way is that it is satan's plan that he will start attacking my children. But I have to stop that attack before it ever starts! I need to stand on the Word of God and fight back on this spiritual attack! I've got to remain firm and resolute! I've got to put on my armor of God everyday, without fail and plead the blood of Jesus over my children!

Another interpretation that occured to me was what I've been learning about over the past month. That the material things in this world are in the dominion of the prince of darkness. Everything surrounding us has absolutely no meaning, albeit satan would love for us to place very high importance on our "wealth" and "stuff". And he knows how important my children are to me! He's trying to lay claim to them, but I will NOT relinquish their spirits to him!

Needless to say, this dream unnerved me last night and this morning. I've been told that satan's attacks will become more painful and harsh once he really gets started with me! Since I've gotten a precious gift, he wants to steal it and the joy that it has to offer me away from my heart! All I can do is continue to learn the word, get it ingrained in my heart and continue to rely on what Jesus did for me at the cross!

Or it could have just been a dream conjured up in my own imagination in my sleep! But I feel in my spirit that that was not the case!

Dear Lord above, I'm asking for Your help! As long as I know that You are by my side, I will not falter! And it states in Your Word, that You are always there beside me! And I will stand tall on Your Word!
