Shocking dream

I woke up late from an afternoon nap, before I had to go to work for a closing shift. I had to be to work at 4:00, and it was 4:10.... I ran down the stairs to check the kitchen clock. There is only an upstairs bathroom, and I had to go, but I was panicked about the time. I had laid down around 1:00 for quiet time and I couldn't figure out how the time had gone so fast. It felt like only about a half hour had passed. I wanted to know if the upstairs clock and computer clock were right. The stove on the kitchen clock was flashing, so the power had been off. I wondered why the computer was still on, then, if the power had gone off. Outside, it was dark, alomost black, with heavy clouds that hung low in the sky, almost touching the power lines. The power lines were barely moving in the wind, yet I sensed it had been stormy before I woke up. Maybe this was the quiet after the strom.

I tried turning on the light over the stove, but accidently tripped the fan switch. When I reached up to turn the fan off, it wouldn't shut off. It seemed the switch would not rest in the center, but just flipped to the other side, so it was on again. I tried once more, and this time, realized I was holding this big, old switch (but how had it gotten installed -- had someone been in my apartment while I slept?) So I tried to pull the new switch out of the place where it looked like it just plugged in above the regular, smaller switch. It would not come unplugged! I recall it had bright yellow on it, like the color of the smilies to my right, and it also had white on it. Originally, it just appeared to be a bigger version of the small swtich -- still had to go right or left to turn the fan on, with the center being "off."

I let lose of the switch, and it looked different, suddetnly. It had this round, disk like thing, that tapered down to a snubbed off point on one side. I saw that this odd switch, dipped down on it's own and triggered the fan switch (using the snubbed off point) automatically, and that's why the fan would not shut off. I grabbed a hold of the big switch and yanked at it. But it only came out a ways, as it was attached to a short chord that was hooked to the stove hood.

Then, I was jolted by bolts of electricity! It hurt, and I was scared, thinking I might be electricuted. I was dancing up and down. I remember looking, and it had those slits where plug prongs go in, as an extention chord has. That's where the electirc shocks were coming from. It seems I could almost feel the tingles shooting through me, yet they were much stronger than tingles, more like this huge charge chorsing through me, even as I slept. I could not let loose of this thing, because the bolts of electricity seemed to be pulling me to it, rather than replusing me away. So, there I was, powerless to let go, and this thing kept zapping me.... and then, I woke up.

Jerena,
Hello again! In a nutshell, this looks like the LORD is going to deal with your fear issue. There is either fear, or being of the Spirit - no in-between!

Once, you allow the LORD to permanently "flip" this switch, there will be sooo much more of the anointing in your relationship with HIM!

Have a very blessed day in the Lord!
Semper Fi!

Yes, I am trapped in fear and stopped by fear.... and the Lord keeps telling me He is setting me free of it. But, why then, do I feel like I just keep going around Mt. Sanai with the same fears? I CAN'T WAIt until I quit being afraid of so many things! It's like my Sister told her counslor -- "I do really good in the office. I say all the right things. But I don't live there during the week."

Jerena,
Hello sister!

Honestly, look at what you confess at the very outset of this conversation!

Probably because you decide to walk around the mountain again, and again, and again!

If you can't wait - then don't! Just stop being afraid!
Jerena, the truth is the LORD has already gave you the ability to stop being afraid! That's the good news!

The bad news is - and this is without any condemnation, or judgment on my part - you CHOOSE not to quit!

So don't confess what you you're struggling with - confess who you are in Christ! I can do ALL things through Christ, who strengthens me!!!

Your revelation needs to be the power of choice. The LORD is not going to force this upon you, but HE will empower the postive choices you make in your life! Change your way of thinking. Let the LORD transform your mind! This is sooooo simple, yet profound - it's coming down to your CHOICE!!!

So, be encouraged, and not discouraged. I know you are a person who lives to please the LORD - make CHOICES, which are pleasing to HIM, concerning your life! You are already free in HIM - tell your mind to get-in-line with HIS Word!

So, again, this is not for condemnation/judgment. This is only humbly offered in Love - to encourage you!

Have a very blessed day in the LORD!
Semper Fi!

Father God, thank YOU for Jerena! Lord, if YOU gave us free-will, I believe much of what we are to learn in this life comes down to choices. Help Jerena make the right choices! Empower her to make choices, which are pleasing, and bring Glory to YOU! Establish her as one of YOUR children who is known for the wise, and powerful decisions she make for herself, and YOUR Kingdom! Make her an example of how the rest of us are to conduct ourselves on a day-to-day basis - on our walk with YOU! Make Jerena a testimony to the Love of an Omnipotent God - in Jesus name - Amen!

Guilty as charged! Working on it. I was so FREE of worrying on vacation. It was wonderful. Even when the money situaiton looked disasterous, because I forgot that a particular bill had not come out of my account yet, but I had paid it already.... I knew God had not gotten me to Seaside, Oregon, on this wonderful trip, to let me fall apart financially. My niece can loan me money for the rent, praise God! I have been feeling calm and at peace. Even contemplating moving to Seaside, Oregon, which is an official "Tsunami Zone." It is so wondeful there! The beauty and wonder of the ocean far outweigh the risks. I just am not sure what God has for me, along these lines. But, really, what is holding me int Mount Vernon? There is even a Taco Time in Seaside. Why couldn't I get a job at that one? Well, I am just waiting on God for direction in ALL areas. I know this is all about changes He is wanting to bring, regardless of whether I move there or stay here or go somewhere else. I simply MUST move on to new challanges and bigger things. I really want to move to Seaside and NOT be working at Taco Time. Also, a story plot is stirring in me, and I think it has real potential. So, praying about that.

Thanks for the reminder. I am trying to CHANGE MY MIND, and I thank you for the prayers.

Lord, I pray I can move to Seaside or some city on the ocean. I pray I can CHANGE MY MIND! I pray I continue at peace, rest and quietness, as You instructed me on vacation. I thank You for this freedom. I pray I refuse to even LOOK at what I want to take back up (burden wise). I pray I can write and sell this story. And, should they make a movie (yes, Lord!), don't let them CHANGE the story. I pray for favor and freedom. In Jesus Name, amen.

Jerena,
Hello sister! Welcome back, I hope you had a very refreshing vacation - as it sounds - you did!

I am glad that last post was received well - we are all guilty of little things...

Be in peace, and have a very blessed day in the LORD!
Semper Fi!
-Bill

I had a great vacation, thanks. I am working on what you said above, by not typing certains sentences that reinforce the negative thoughts. Have you ever typed a sentence on how you felt or something and then you immediately experienced that emotion more than you already were? We must be so careful of our words, and I need a lot of work on this. Carol told me to keep repeating those positive things (as Joyce Meyer teaches), and I am guilty of NOT repeating them. Thanks for the kind words. All your advice and interpretation is much appreicated.
