I keep dreaming that demons are attacking me, and that I accept the Lord as my Savior. There is such a sense of urgency. I wake up feeling so panicked. And in my dreams I am battling these demonic forces. It feels so real. As if the real world hasn’t quite caught up with the subconscious. My subconscious is literally screaming at me to get saved. Today is like the 6th time this has happened. Except this time the forces of evil were even stronger in my dream. As if they were somehow closer. Do your dreams ever steer you into a decision? Or urge you to do something? Out of all the conversations I've had with people over the last 6 months here on worthy...I've reconsidered my salvation. But this morning I woke up with it on my lips. It feels all so eerie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 .... I've reconsidered my salvation. But this morning I woke up with it on my lips. It feels all so eerie..... Amen O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; Psalms 108:1-5 And Amen~! For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels all so eerie. i had a similiar experience many years ago. I can't tell you about yourself, but I can tell you about me..... My problem was that I was trying still to live up to the expectation of salvation and be a perfect person. The demonic powers that had attached themselves to me when I was studying demonology were throwing everything in my face that I had ever done wrong...... over and over again I'd repent and it got to the point that I was struggling with them more than I was doing anything. it got to the point that I finay realized that I could not win the fight. I sat down and said alright, if Jesus wants me he's going to have to fight for me....... because I can't do this for mysef. I stood up in a half sleep and shook my fists at the dark side and told them that I was following Jesus and there was nothing they could do about it...... I told them that if Jesus didn't want me that come judgement day if he said no, I'd find a high place and just throw myown self into the fires of hell. I know it was out of desperation of realizing that I myself could not defeat the dark side of this world and it wasn't until I stopped trying that the Holy Spirit took over and set me free of it all.

It could be that you are seeing the evil that will befall you without Him in your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as other one said, give it to our Lord. He is your defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant that I've been totally considering it. It's been on my mind, it's been on my heart. That decision. The choice. It was weird to wake up uttering words like "I'm yours Jesus, take me as I am" that's basically what I was uttering as I woke from my dream this morning. I've said in the last two weeks that I am at a fork in the road. And I think that's what this is all about. So no, you all haven't pushed me away from god. I hope that's not how it came across. mona, your post didn't have any words in it. Joe I thought of a similar verse this morning but couldn't remember where it was at. Or why I was thinking on it. otherone. I feel like these dreams are somehow both god related and demon related. When they first started this year (I've had them before and they quit for a long while...these ones are different) they were an attack on me, and I didn't fight back I just woke in fear and trembling. Like I had a panic attack in my sleep and I woke up gasping for air. In the last string of them, the last 3 or 4 of them. It's like Jesus was there with me. I used his name to 'fight them'. I invited Jesus into my life in my dream. It's really bizarre. It's like my subconscious wants the very thing that my waking mind is fighting. And as soon as I accepted Jesus into my life in my dream, I was calm and empowered- and could then face the demons. And they ran away. It makes me wonder, you know, is it just a simple dream? IS there really a battle going on for my very soul? Either way it's very creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as if you need to become stronger in your walk with God, studying His word and applying it to your life more then you have been. I have had similar dreams in the past when I was weak in Him and needed to have a closer relationship with Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS there really a battle going on for my very soul? There is a battle going on all the time over us in the spiritual realm. Satan hates those who belong to Jesus Christ and will stop at nothing to cause you to second-guess yourself and the decision you have made to follow after Jesus Christ. Whether a dream or not, if you have experienced the salvation of Jesus Christ, you have been given His authority to tell the enemy to get lost and let you sleep in peace. Psalm 4:8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe. Proverbs 3:24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

Jesus already won and there isn't anything you can do to make it better or worse, but just accept it. Tell the demons to go away for you aren't fighting with them any more and draw yourself closer to Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
