“And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.”
Joel 2:28, 29
I had a dream last night that I believe was a message from the Lord. Here is the dream:
My family was buying a house we had not yet seen. When we entered there was a garden area and in the garden was a concrete ledge with a cove and in the cove was a statue of a Hindu god, Shiva. I was not concerned but I knew it had to go.
When we entered the house a man was standing by the door dressed in all black and had on a cowboy type hat. His face was hideous and evil looking. He began taunting me and my family. I knew it was Satan or one of his demons.
I was still not afraid and I said to him “You be quiet in the Name of Jesus!”[1] He tried to continue taunting us, but was not able to speak, no words came out of his mouth. I then declared “this house and all my family are covered by the blood of Jesus[2] and you have to leave.” He turned to go and as he was leaving he tried to talk but could only mumble “I don’t want to but I have to”. I then told him to take his evil statue with him and go to the dry places and find no rest.[3] He put the statue under his arm and left, still mumbling about having to leave.
Then I woke up. As I prayed and pondered over the dream, I believe that God is telling me two things I need to share
- We have authority in the Name of Jesus and when we speak in that authority demons have to obey.[4]
- Even though they have no choice to obey the Name of Jesus, they don’t want to. We cannot just say it once, or just pray once but we must be diligent and on guard, continuing to speak the Name of Jesus, daily plead the blood over our families, our homes, our city, our schools, and everything that concerns us or touches our life.
Praise God we do win by the power of the Blood, the Name that is above all other names – the Name of Jesus and by our testimony![5]
Peace and blessings in our Lord Jesus Christ,
Dee
