I had a really bad nightmare early this morning that shook me. It’s the same one I’ve had from time to time for about 20 years. The dream can make me feel frantic, worried and scared. I told Annie I had the dream again and we talked about the Lord and all He’s done and is doing for us in the Spirit. It really calmed me down and made me realize that the nightmare makes me want to get in my flesh about earthly things. I’m tempted to take matters into my own hands rather than testing the spirits behind fearful thoughts, and remembering to listen to the Holy Spirit and His leading. That’s when I knew I needed to send this out today accompanied by the following verse.
Then he (the angel of the Lord) answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
Zechariah 4:6
Please always remember to test the spirit behind thoughts, nightmares, etc. The devil, the father of lies, loves to lure/move us into our flesh and away from the secret dwelling place of the Most High.
Keep your mind on Jesus, and listen to His Spirit of Truth.
So come on, let’s go and the Holy Spirit of the Lord will show us all of the wonderful things He has in store for us today and this week.
Happy Monday, everyone.
God bless,
Mark
