God will CONFUSE our enemies and protect us!

I was sitting down quietly this morning (2/1/23) soaking in God's Word, when my dream from last night keep playing over and over in my mind. At first I thought, stop drifting and losing your focus! Focus on Him and the Word! Well, the dream keep getting louder and more vigilant. So that is when I said, okay God, I see what is going on here. What is it you want me to know and relay? As soon as I asked him, I began to write a brief summary of the dream and then thoughts (the Interpretation below) and scripture came to me faster than I could write down in my notebook. It is so important to yield to the Spirit when He is wanting to move. To rid ourselves, of ourselves, and allow for being a vessel for Him! Okay, now to share the dream with you and what God was saying. Be blessed!

The Dream:

In my dream last night, Cameron and I were on the run from the law. We were wanted and they blasted our photos everywhere. There were all sorts of things happening and we were going place to place hiding from them. When we left the last place we were at, the last "safe house," we ended up in the thick of where all the law enforcement was; and they knew who were were, and what we looked like. We were outside on a sidewalk in a large city with skyscrapers, exposed with nowhere to hide. All around us were patrol cars scanning the streets, driving slowly looking and analyzing everyone around us. We appeared taller than everyone which meant we were definitely going to be seen (this part was kind of funny considering I am not tall at all!). We realized that we had to walk past them, there was no other option. Fear stuck hold of me knowing that we were going to be seen and captured or worse. Then, I felt a calm come upon me, a thought came to me (The voice of the Lord speaking) that said, "pray for them to be confused." Pray for them to see you, but you will not look like yourself to them; they will not know it is you. Pray for their eyes to be blurred and not see you. Pray that you will walk right past them, and as they look at you they will see someone completely different. That a veil will be over our heads, and fog over their eyes." So I prayed exactly as He said and as we walked past them, they looked at us, but did not see us. They did not recognize us and know it was in fact us! Praise the Lord!

I always love the dreams where I am praying in my dreams. There is always something so deep and intimate and special about it. It is written that God will give His people dreams, and to be in a dream state, praying to Him is so beautiful.

Interpretation:

God will protect us and be our strength and shield. If we ever find ourselves in such a place, this is what we are to ask of him, and God will confuse the enemy and protect his people. We will walk through the valley of the shadow of death and we will fear no evil, as His Word says. God says, you have not because you ask not. You see, in the beginning of the dream we relied on our own strength, running from place to place to escape the enemy that was after us in the way we thought was best. However, it was to no avail as we had to keep exhausting ourselves running from the enemy constantly and never resting as we were scared and focused on where those chasing us down were. We became weary. Jesus says, "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30)." You see, as soon as we stopped trying by our own accord and yielded to what God said to do / pray / ask for, He took over, and His way is better. We were able to walk right past the enemy without them even knowing and were safe under the covering of our Father. He will not leave us or forsake us. We have work to do for His Kingdom Glory. We fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12)." So God wants us to know, that when we walk past our enemy who wants to take us down and destroy us, we are to ask from Him to protect us and confuse the enemy, just as He told me to pray for in my dream. He wants us to put it into His hands and trust in Him. Focus on me, not the storm (Matthew 22-33).
