The dreams that I dream-14-“Bind the strong man and
free yourself.”
In the early stages of my
walk with Christ, whenever I sat for praying or reading the Word, I would feel
extremely sleepy and start yawning. This became so evident that one day my wife
commented about the same. It was then that I too realized that something was
amiss and prayed about the same. I often wondered what the possible cause could
be, but could not reach a conclusion.
While I was experiencing
this, one night I saw a dream. In the dream, a short white man was wrestling
with an evil looking giant. The giant was overpowering the short white man who
was trying desperately to escape him.
Then I heard a voice in the
dream say, “Bind the strong man and free yourself.”
I woke up after seeing this
dream at night and wondered what it meant. Later on the next day, as I sat for
prayer and started yawning again, the Holy Spirit spoke to me in His still
small voice and said, “Bind the strong man.” Instantly I realized what the
dream was all about. The Lord was indicating that it was an evil spirit that
was making me feel sleepy on sitting for prayer or when reading the Word and
the deliverance could be achieved by rebuking the evil power. And that is
exactly what I did. I immediately rebuked the evil spirit in Jesus’ Name and to
tell you the truth, the deliverance was immediate.
From then on, my times of
prayer and Bible reading are a joy. Every morning I am able to spend around one
and a half hours in worship, prayer and Bible reading.
In my ministry, I have met
several well meaning Christians who have had this same problem and perhaps a
few of you reading this may have been experiencing the same ,but the message
from the Lord to all such is the same, “Bind the strong man and free yourself.”
