The dreams that I dream-8-The devil prowls around like
a roaring lion
One night as I slept, the
Lord showed me a dream regarding how we must always be spiritually alert and
not give a foothold to the enemy in our lives.
In the dream I am on the
terrace of our house laying clothes on a clothesline. While I’m laying the
clothes, I am in prayer and meditating on the Word. Suddenly I turn back and
look and see a lion following close on my heels as I walk to and fro laying the
clothes. In the dream, I realize that the lion is waiting for an opportunity
for me to sit down so that it can pounce upon me. As long as I am walking and
praying, it does not harm me, but it is ready all the time nevertheless.
When I woke up the next
morning and thought about the dream, the Holy Spirit brought to my mind these
verses from 1 Peter Chapter 5.
“Be self-controlled and
alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for
someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know
that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of
sufferings.” (1 Peter 5:8, 9)
The Lord reminded me that I
was always involved in spiritual warfare and should be careful, lest the enemy
gained a foothold in my life.
Laying clothes on a
clothesline here just denotes “me going about my daily business”
The Lord was speaking clearly
to me through this dream and saying,
“Do not give the devil a
foothold.” (Ephesians 4:27)
