I woke up with a start
Heart pounding
Mind racing
Struggling to fully wake up
Hoping to escape my dream
——
Time and place don’t matter
I was surrounded
Taunts
Jeers
They followed me everywhere
There was one
The ringleader
She glares at me
“How can you really know?”
“Are you sure He’s real??”
Suddenly it hits me
I’m dreaming
I’m stuck in a dream
Satan is trying to get at me
“You need to leave, in Jesus’ Name!”
The taunting continues
“You cannot stay here”
The jeering gets louder
“Jesus is more powerful”
The chaos increases
They aren’t listening to me
How will I get out of this
“Praise You, Lord that You are bigger”
The thoughts fill my mind
My voice raises over the cacophony
“Thank you God, that You have given us power”
Their fighting increases, they know they are losing power
A baby cries.. a glance shows a little baby boy crying
“GET OUT!”
The baby stops crying
He glares at me as his true nature is shown
I sense that I’m waking up
It’s fading in and out
I try to wake my husband
“Am I truly awake?”
A gasping breath
Heart pounding
My eyes fly open
I’m truly awake now
“Honey, wake up!”
“We need to pray!”
He wakes up
He holds me close
His protective nature slows my breathing
He prays over me
The fear is still there
God whispers a thought to me
“We must be doing something right.”
“Satan wouldn’t be hitting so hard if we weren’t”
A light flipped on
Worship music turned on
Calm begins to fill the space
Satan won’t win tonight
Fear won’t win either
For I am a daughter of the King
