Power In the Blood
After saying my prayers for the night I went to sleep as I usually do. I began to dream about my being over at my son-in-law’s house, and some of my step grand kids were there. I went looking for one of the boy’s and went to a back room in the house, as I turned around to leave the room something grabbed me from behind, and pulled me down on the bed, and would not let go. I’ve had these types of dreams before, but I never see who it is that’s holding me. In this dream, I knew what I had to do, just as I’ve had to do in others, I began to plead the blood of Jesus. I repeatedly plead the blood, and I had to do this several times before he would let go, but he did not give up easy. With each spoken word about the blood, he started to loose his grip on me, and each time I plead the blood, I was slowly turning around to see who it was holding me for the first time When I plead the blood that last time I was free of his grip, and I saw him for the first time ever, and he was a large black man, in whom I will refer to as the strong man. When I started creating this site, Truth In The Word, I began to experience some strange things, like floppy disk not wanting to open, when I knew they were good, and the message popping up asking if I wanted to format the disk. No, I could not format the disk; because it had the information on it I needed for the web site. And then my cable modem went out, which supplies me with my Internet service, and it would be several days before a tech. would be out with a new one. Then I started to set my computer back up for dial up service, and I had a hard time getting a dial up connection. It was one thing after another, but with God’s help everything worked out. . Now getting back to this dream, when I got free it had already become the next day, and they were asking me what was I still doing there. As I began to explain the room suddenly became dark, and the strong mans arms were around me again, and once more I was in his grip. I woke after this, and started studying it’s meaning, I already know there’s power in the blood of Jesus, but some times you will have to plead the blood many times over a situation. Just as in my dream, I continued to plead the blood, and each time the strong man got weaker and to the point where he had to let go. It’s not going to always be easy to free yourself from whatever may have a grip on your life, but if you keep on speaking the word over it, or pleading the blood, it will have to let go of you. You see, the enemy will let go, but he never gives up, and he will return to try you again; just like in my dream. I also noticed in my dreams that whenever the strongman grips me there is darkness around me, but when that grip is broken, the light returns. So, when the enemy attacks you, your whole world seems to be in the dark, because there is no light in him, only darkness. And he clouds your world in darkness by whatever attack he has perpetrated upon your life. You see, the weapon of our warfare is not carnal, but spiritual, and you need the word of God to do battle. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual rulers and principalities of the unseen world, against mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12 These spirits are the cause of many of our problems, and to fight them you cannot use man made weapons, but only the mighty word of God. And to fight them you will need your armor, and in Ephesians 6:13-17, tells you what this armor is and how to use them. So, get ready, be ready, stand your ground, and put on the whole armor of God.
