/Nightmares

-, I will also pray for you to have peace while you sleep. Do

you mind " hearing " a testamony about fear and night time? I went to a

church where there wasn't a whole lot of dicipling after a

conversion. We were simply put,left one own. I never knew that

satan's attacks would be in full force after I gave my life to

Jesus. Someone made an innocent comment about someone in our

neighborhood breaking into apartments. I was living alone with my 2

1/2 year old daughter at the time. I have never before been afraid to

stay by myself. First it started with concern that the people that

were breaking into apartments would break into mine ( I didn't have a

phone and lived in the building by myself)I " allowed " this fear to

take hold of me and I didn't immediately see it as an attack from

satan. Well, in about's week time I went from being afraid of someone

breaking into my house to my daughter's stuffed toys killing us in

the middle of the night. I see it now as being totally demonic in

nature. I became physically and spiritually weak. I started giving

up. i thought i was going crazy. I started sleepilng with the lights

on I made my dd sleep in my bed, it was truly insane. I remember so

clearly laying in my bed after praying and crying to God, and

He " spoke " to me (people get weirded out when I say that- No I did

not hear the audible voice of God- it was more like a very strong

thought or feeling not a voice but I know without a doubt it was God)

anyway, I heard " Rebuke him " The thought was so loud I ever answered

who? and the thought came again that said " satan' and I thought I

couldn't do that I would feel stupid, so I didn't and the fear

continued for another week and I kept praying and crying to God and

asking Him what was wrong with me and He reminded me that He gave me

the solution already. I was to rebuke satan that he was the one

giving me fear, so I did I rebuked all demonic forces out of my

bedroom and my house and put my baby back in her room turned out the

light and slept for the first time in almost 2 weeks for more than

20minutes at a time. The next night again the fear tried to come back

and I found myself putting Vickie back in my bed and leaving the

light on but the Lord reminded me that I had to put my words to

action and stand on faith, so I reminded satan who I was in Christ

that he had no authority over me and my family and he had to flee

because I was resisting him, Praise God that was the complete end to

fear and nightmares in my home. With all that said, trust the Lord

and His word, he says He will give you perfect peace. Rebuke the

devil and he will leave (he HAS to because God wins!)

Blessings to you........... G
