TOPIC: OVERCOMING BAD DREAMS

TEXT: Proverbs 3:25

"Do not be afraid of sudden terror, nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes"

All of us have had one bad dream or the other, perhaps we are falling from a high building, fleeing from from masquerades or hideous creatures, or worse seeing dead relatives in our dreams. The fears that some of these dreams create can be overwhelming. The fact is, the name of Jesus has freed us from every form of fear.
We read in John 6 that Jesus' disciples were afraid when in the dimness of the nightfall they saw a strange figure walking on the stormy sea of Galilee. But the mysterious figure was not part of the bad dream--He was real. Matthew reports that they " cried out for fear"(14:26). Then the disciples heard a familiar voice: "It is I; do not be afraid"(John 6:20). It was Jesus. Their fears were calmed, as well as the sea.
The saviour speaks the same assurance to us today amid the many fears in our christian journey. Solomon said"The name of the Lord is strong tower; the righteous run into it and they are safe" (Proverbs 18:20).
Fears will come, but we are assured that Jesus is always the a light in the darkness.
You need not fear the darkness, if you are walking with the light of the world.

PRAYER POINT

Father God, thank you for being my tower of refuge. I hide me and my family in glory in Jesus name.

*Every evil decrees over my life and family through dreams are cancelled by the blood of Jesus, in Jesus name.
