We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The true test of a man’s spirituality is not his ability to speak, as we are apt to think, but rather his ability to bridle his tongue.
Kent Hughes

Contrary to what might be expected, I look back on experiences that at the time seemed especially desolating and painful, with particular satisfaction. Indeed, I can say with complete truthfulness that everything I have learned in my seventy five years in this world, everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my existence, has been through affliction and not through happiness, whether pursued or attained... This, of course, is what the Cross signifies. And it is the Cross, more than anything else, that has called me inexorably to Christ.

A dream about Satan’s influence spreading…

A dream about Satan’s influence spreading…

After watching Barack Obama’s 2008 Presidential Election acceptance speech, I was bothered by my attitude towards the whole thing, because I saw people who were almost worshipful towards Obama – it was as much or more admiration than we give God at church. And I went to bed asking God to help me understand what was wrong. And I had this dream:

I saw a snake enter into a man, and that man became evil, and Satan took control of his thoughts – his mind/head seemed to appear like yellow vertical streaks.

Then I saw a huge octopus whose tentacles spread through many rooms of a building or home, and the octopus was as tall as the building. A small glowing-yellow satanic snake inched its way along the octopus’ tentacles, from the right side of the house, to the left (as I faced it), and the snake approached a man lying in a bed. The snake entered into the bottom of the man’s left foot, and was headed into his body when the dream ended.

I don’t fully understand the dream yet, but I believe God was warning me to be careful how I thought of and viewed Obama – not to wonder at him, because Satan wants to find a way into our lives. Don’t be caught sleeping spiritually as Satan begins to inch his way across our nation.
