I'm not 100% certain if this goes here or not. Feel free to move it or ask me to re-post it elsewhere. I do not know if I was awake or not, so I can't rightfully say it goes with the dreams...anyway...
There is SO MUCH power in the name Jesus! I've always known He is all powerful, and believed it as truth, because it is. It's just that ever since my family and I started attending a Pentecostal church (We've attended Baptist churches since we first started going. Not saying one is better than the other; you just go to whatever church the Lord tells you He wants you as a member) different kinds of spiritual attacks have happened.
And that was a nice little prologue...
Last night (well, okay, 3 something in the morning) light flashes started going before my eyes. Yes my eyes were closed. Everything was very dark. The light flashes reminded me of the flashes they make you experience when you have an EEG done (I've had a few of those in my life. Please google if you don't know what an EEG is)
I started to feel out of it, my mind. Almost like I was on the verge of a seizure. This can happen when you are awake or happen when you are asleep. Then the face of a young man at church flashed clear before me, almost as if I was looking right at him! This young man is in his twenties, and autistic, but he is a good reminder of how many Christians should act, and what kind of spirit we should remember to have.
After that I was aware that I was awake as I started to feel a sort of demonic presence around me, and then fear rising up within me; from my stomach upward. I'm thinking to myself, 'Lord, help!' Then I remembered something I told my 2 unsaved sisters about getting rid of a demonic spirit. So, I tried to speak the name of Jesus, but my voice came out quiet and raspy. I kept talking: Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Progressively getting louder and louder! Just His name alone made the fear and the presence go away.
Then I just started singing spiritual songs and hymns. I remembered that He inhabits the praises of His people. Since I had already been saying His name I slipped into the song Jesus Is The Sweetest Name I Know. Followed by: In The Garden, Shout To The Lord, Nothing But The Blood, Evermore, and quite a few other songs before praying and thanking him. Then I sang again.
I did go down stairs to get something to eat because I felt my blood sugar get low. After, I went back to my room, and laid down and tried to go to sleep, but it, for some reason did not feel right to be in there. So, I went to the living room and lay down next to mom who was sleeping on the bed we have in the living room for guests (we have a very small house. 5 people in a 2 bedroom house). Then a hour or maybe two passed and it was okay again. So went back to sleep in my room.
It was a very interesting experience. I don't know if it means anything or not. Just wanted to share. May yall have opinions or comments, or similar experiences.
