dream: mighty spiritual warriors!

On April 15, 2018 I had a very strange prophetic dream that I would like to share because I believe it points the importance of spiritual warfare in these last days!

DREAM:

I was in a house that belonged to me, though not the one in my real life. It was night time and dark outside. I was in the back of the house and went to the back door to let one of my dogs in. Instead of seeing my dogs outside, I see instead three tigers wander right up to me! They were huge, and I could see clearly their orange and black stripes. I marveled at how large they actually were. While I was staring in unbelief at them, one of the tigers walked right past me into my home.

Not panicked, but very concerned, I followed the tiger as it walked into the backroom. I somehow managed to corner it and get it to leave the same way that it came in. Relieved, I was now ready to go to my guests that I knew, somehow, were waiting for me in the front part of the house.

As I turned from the door to leave the backroom, I then noticed a very large black dog crate in my way. Staring at me in the dog crate was a poor, dear, fat woolly sheep! Feeling so sad for the sheep, I immediately opened the latch to the crate door and the lamb ran out. HOWEVER, before running out the back door, it stopped, looked at me and it talked!!

It said, THE DEVIL!'

After the sheep left, I went to the front of the house to serve my guests. When I got there, I noticed that they were all divided up into groups and were studying in different parts of the large room. They were all very occupied with each other, huddled in circles. I felt very content with what was going on and walked around them very quietly, trying not to disturb their meetings. I wanted to go and get some snacks and food for them in order to be hospitable.

Just then I saw a ENORMOUS bear entered the room, from the backroom. I could not believe what I was seeing! Another dangerous animal in my house! At this point, I started panicking, wondering what to do. No one else saw the bear, as they stayed in their groups studying. I then got my whits about me, and decided that I could take on this bear alone, like I did the tigers. I then somehow cornered him and then kicked him out the door before he could do any harm. Once he left the dream ended.

INTERPRETATION:

--Being dark and nighttime outside represents the end time days that we are in.

--The house that I was in represented the Church of believers.

--The front part of the house represents what goes on in the physical with Church and believers of the LORD JESUS. They were praying and studying the WORD of GOD.

-- The back part of the house represents the unseen spiritual world where spiritual warfare happens, sometimes unknown to the Church.

--The tiger and the bear represent the demon spirits that are looking for opportunities and open doors to come into the church and deceive, destroy and harass the believers.

--the orange and black on the tiger: orange-- 'warning'; black -- 'evil'

(this is a 'warning' of the 'evil' that is coming and is now here.)

--The sheep in the dog cage represents some believers who are bound and held captive by the enemy, the devil, and his evil devices. There are many ways that satan can come and bring captivity into our lives: sins, curses, words curses, strongholds, witchcraft, false doctrine, Jezebel spirits, etc.

--The sheep, when freed from its captivity, said 'the devil,' because it was announcing and warning who had put him into his cage of captivity.

--I represented a believer that knew spiritual warfare, as I was able to get these evil spirit animals out of the house before they did any damage. I recognized them for who they were and was able to kick them out before any of the other believers even noticed or were affected by them.

I believe that what the LORD was trying to convey was how important it is too understand our enemy and how we can fight him in the spirit. We all now must become MIGHTY SPIRITUAL WARRIORS as evil increases all around us.

It is also imperative that we understand how to keep the 'doors shut' in the spirit realm so we don't give the devil even a chance to wander in. He is a hungry lion looking who he can devour, but we will NOT give him that opportunity! Instead we will be on the defensive, aware of his devices and kick him out in the NAME OF JESUS!
