When the Devil Attacks in Dreams

When a person is about to have a major spiritual breakthrough, the enemy of our souls will attempt to block the progression. Recently, a meeting for deliverance was scheduled in New York City.

Those who made plans to go were attacked. These attacks included nightmares and undesirable dreams.

As I made my way to the airport (real, not dream), my truck began to shake and wobble. The left front tire had ballooned up like a Ball Park frank. I had just 30 minutes to make it to Sacramento International, so I kept driving, with both hands on the wheel. And, I prayed.

I arrived and hurried to the shuttle bus stop. Four busses passed by, all were full. I finally boarded the fifth bus. I packed in with the others from the stop. This was after 10 on a Friday night. Passengers on the bus were commenting on how they have never seen the busses so packed on a Friday night.

When I arrived to check in with Jet Blue, I received more daunting news. A powerful storm set in over New York. All flights were delayed more than two hours. Nevertheless, the flight crew got to Sacramento and the ground crew very efficiently boarded everyone onto the Airbus 320.

We received an immediate clearance. The engines hummed up increasingly, and the plane pushed forward. We quickly accelerated. I watched the runway lights whiz past. Suddenly, the brakes on the plane locked. The craft shuddered and the passengers in our row all involuntary bowed forward.

The plane decelerated to a complete stop. The pilot’s voice came over the intercom, “The brakes on this craft apply abruptly like we just experienced automatically. We have a light on engine number one. It is the design of this craft to brake rapidly when it gets a light like this.”

In the following quarter hour, we learned that the pilots cannot perform a diagnostic themselves. The Jet Blue crew qualified to do so would have to come to Sacramento from San Francisco. We disembarked and filed into the terminal waiting area. After 3 a.m., they made a decision to cancel the flight. Hurrying to the ticket desk, I was able to secure my refund and headed back to the economy parking lot.

At 4:40, I was changing the bubbled tire in the lot. I arrived home after sunrise.

Rat Dream
One of the others who planned to attend was attacked with an asthma attack. He also dreamed a dream with rats infesting it. Both these were very rare for him.

These are all ways the devil attacks you.

So, if you are receiving terror dreams, nightmares, and attacks in the night, ask yourself, “What is the devil working against? Is there a blessing from which he wants to distract me?” In general, the enemy attacks at opportunities, when you are weakened or susceptible. However, when the enemy sees you might rise up, he will work to block that.

Be very careful in attributing too much importance to an attack on your peace when you are doing something that increases your faith or strengthens you.
