I had this dream I was in this group of 6 people I didn’t know very well. We were trapped in this like scary movie type deal. There were these creatures coming out of the ground and taking people away. Trees would shake us off if we tried to climb them. So we ran. We found these two beat up old cars that were on two different paths. I was with the slower running group and so we watched while two people got in the car. A third person tried to get in and one already in the car pushed the third out. Slowly, ripping the grip of the third off the car door. The face of the guy pushing the other out was this blank stare. Creepiest thing I’ve ever seen. The third was not to be seen the rest of the dream. Us slow runners started running faster. We could see the path of the faster group next to us for awhile. They had a clear path but because of that we could see all the huge lumps in the ground following them and trying to mess up their driving. Our group was in this wooded area. It was dark and we were all discussing if we were in a scary movie or if this was some game we had been put in because this type stuff doesn’t happen in real life. We were trying to decide if the fear and anxiety would go away if we just let the creatures beneath us just take us. Maybe the game would be over and we could go home. Maybe, then, we would see all the cameras and production crew for this movie we all conveniently forgot we signed up for. I was standing in the back of the jeep staring down at the ground. Staring at the lumps made by the creatures that could take me away.
Then I woke up.
I felt this heaviness on me. I was still afraid. I tried to close my eyes but when I did I was back in the dream but this time I was in a theater watching myself with these scary figures in the seats around me watching me watch myself.
You’d think I watched a scary movie before I went to bed but I haven’t watched a scary movie in a LONG time. In fact, this afternoon all I watched was ’17 again’. Haha (if you haven’t seen it ~it’s a cute opposite of scary type movie)
Anyway, point is. I couldn’t escape this feeling of pressure and fear. Being awake wouldn’t relieve me. I said out loud “In the name of Jesus Christ, get out of this house.” I know Jesus’ name is powerful and makes demons shake. (James 2:19) Incase this was spiritual warfare, I figured calling on my Father would be a good idea.
I then realized how much I had been putting of spending time with God. Not that spiritual warfare doesn’t happen to those who spend time seeking God daily but that I am ashamed to call on someone I need but when I don’t realize my need I don’t take time to invest in.
I have been told once I get out of America, I’ll know what spiritual warfare is. I’ll see and feel the impact of decisions that I make. I feel it right now. I feel the need for God’s protection and the need to seek Him in preparation for the next 11 months.
