Not So Sweet Dreams

Yay!  We got another day today!  And the coffee is good!

How was last night?  Did you sleep well?  How about your dreams?  Were they filled with cotton candy and rainbows?  Did you even have any at all, that you remember?  Or were they like mine:  kinda scary?  I don't know what the deal is.  Every night, we leave the television on a Christian satellite radio station to get good vibes goin in the room.  Now this may sound a little too much to ya, but we do this because we find that, spiritually, when there is no sound, the enemy is able to speak to us easier, or rather, we can hear him easier because there is nothing blocking him out.  Hence the reason we leave it on Christian radio.  I'm tellin' ya, this really helps us.  Everyone sleeps differently, I'm sure, but this is what we find works for us.

When we are awake, my husband and I make a conscious effort to listen to God's still voice and to have peace, but when we are asleep, it's a different story.  Lately, the tv keeps shutting off for a small window of time, leaving our unconscious minds open to whatever may come.  And that's when the enemy puts terrible worries and doubts and just anything that will not let us have that peace that we desire, into our heads.  But what the enemy doesn't expect is for me to wake up, tell my husband, and then we end up cuddling the rest of the night through.  That's a pretty great twist, if you ask me.

No matter what thoughts the enemy puts through your heads, just know that God is a God of peace.  Most people end up hurting others because they are protecting themselves from getting hurt first.  If we had no fear of anything, there would be no desire to protect.  So when you eventually wake up from the nightmare, realize that it's all gonna be alright.  God will reveal the hidden evil.  And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out My Spirit on all humanity;  then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.  I will even pour out My Spirit on My male and female slaves in those days, and they will prophesy.  I will display wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below;  blood and fire and a cloud of smoke.  The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and remarkable day of the Lord comes;  then whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.  Acts 2:17-21

Pray for God to reveal good things to you in your dreams tonight.  He has spoken to a lot of people through their dreams;  He gave them miraculous and beautiful visions!  I'd much rather have dreams of God than of anything else, wouldn't you?

Sweet dreams, Tara K
