Whom then shall I fear?

On Thursday morning, the 29th of January 2009, I was attacked in my sleep for the first time. I remember it very vividly. But I think the attack was on my spirit more than on my flesh or soul.

I was dreaming in a dream and awoke to being choked. I could breathe, but barely. I was being choked hard enough that I could not speak. I was trying to turn on my side but could not move much or enough to make any real difference in the amount of pressure being applied to my throat. I could not see what was attacking me, but knew nonetheless what it was. Through all this I never felt any weight on my chest, and at one point I was trying to move my arms but could only manage to move my forearms and hands. Struggling against this force was useless as I was way outmatched and taken by surprise.

Then I awoke out of the second dream. I was profusely sweating and gasping for air. I have not been praying for protection against such attacks. And I paid for it. I will not soon forget the lesson I have learned. I must say that now is not the time to slack off in our spiritual warfare. Evil forces are loosed on the Earth and the outpouring has gone from a trickle to a violent torrent. You would think that any demon worth its salt would not want you to know its around, as it could do more long-term damage that way. But as I said before, they have varying levels of intelligence. The one which attacked me was just a little overzealous. Stupid demon!

Praise be to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit! For they are the only ones I FEAR!!

God bless you all

A brief comment about time

God has no need for time. We as Human beings are the entities who feel a loss without a watch to tell us the time or a calendar to tell us the date. 2 Peter 3:8 says "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." I think this was written to give our pitiful minds a concept to grasp, because without numbers to contemplate we cannot catch a glimpse at the reality of time or the lack thereof.

When we pray to our one and only true living God, the prayer enters the realm of spirits as it is spoken. It does not matter when we pray -- whether past, present or future. The prayer is redirected by God and used in accordance with the will of God.

For instance: You find out that a relative has had a dangerous surgery, but you found out too late to pray prior to and during the surgery. It does not matter when you pray for that relatives surgery. You only missed the boat on the Human time scale. If you go ahead and pray about an event that has already happened, God will direct that prayer through Human time to where it will be used for His glory.

With God, all things are possible! He means that. Pray for your own discernment on this subject of time. It is mind blowing!
