DO NOT GIVE INTO ESCAPISMS

Barely dozed off to sleep long enough today, while I was nursing, but I must have fallen to sleep because I had a dream. In the dream three men approached me and one of them them tried to take hold of me. They were intimidating and trying to tell me that I looked ''awake or scared." There was darkness all around and shadows passing by. I did not want to look in their eyes. I was trying to figure out if this was real or if I was imagining things. They looked high or like they were on something. They were trying to get me to do something or go somewhere with them, but I walked quickly away and outside. On my way out something else appeared and disappeared, the best I can describe it was a form of darkness and it continually poked me. I rebuked it in Jesus name and told it to leave me alone. 

There are other details I do not remember so I will just stick to what I do remember. As I went outside chaos was everywhere. A man with a hurt limb was sliding down a sidewalk. He could not stop himself. He was chasing after his battery operated dog. His wife was in a wheelchair and could not get to him in time to help him so I stopped him from sliding and helped him back onto his device (walker/wheelchair) and retrieved his dog for him.

I kept passing by people sitting around fires that had gone out. As if it was some place to be or hangout. Everyone seemed to be on their devices...computers, cell phones, large screen TV. And in my mind something was trying to appeal to me to sit there and then I would be left alone or would not be as bothered by the darkness or the poking or whatever else was going on. But something else in my heart said, if you do not sit down where the fires have gone out then you will speak the Word with power and the time will come where what you say will cause others to overcome, but just don't get distracted or deceived.

I woke up.
