I just had a guy pull into my parking lot at work and start screaming and yelling at the sky. I came out to see what was wrong and asked if he was ok. He yelled, “DO I LOOK LIKE I’M OK?!” He then proceeded to rant about how he is sick and tired of Covid Cowards, he was yelling about Biden spending us into oblivion, and on and on. I stood and listened, knowing he needed to talk it out. And then I said, “Well, I totally agree.” He stopped, shocked that I would say that. And I added, “It takes a lot of patience to deal with it.” He stood silent for a minute, then got back in his truck and drove off.
I see a huge variety of people everyday and people’s minds are snapping. I see it in the people who watch the news and live in fear, those that are vaxxed and mad at those of us who aren’t (because they blame us for prolonging this pandemic), in people who had to go to the hospital and are now in isolation, in family members who have been rejected because of some “Covid infraction”, I think we have all experienced it ourselves in some way or other. They are trying to break our spirits.
The best advice is from Q: put on the Full Armor of God— read Ephesians 6:10-18. Bookmark this and read it every single day out loud. When you need protection, read Psalm 91 out loud. Pray every day. The days are evil, but God is faithful.
1 John 5:19-20. “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.”
Funny I woke up having a crazy dream a month or two ago. Like heart rate going like hell and I couldn’t even remember what the hell the dream was about. I broke out my bible app and searched, “full armor of God”. To be honest I’ve only ever told like 4-5 people this but I had a series of dreams when I was 18, this was 21 years ago, about a military man standing in my living room screaming at me. I don’t know what I was saying but it was clearly pissing him off. I was so disturbed I literally called my mother to tell her about it. I immediately got interested in 2A. After that there were 3-4 more, similar but different. One was a gun fight with troops, there was one where a fighter jet fell out of the sky behind my home and another I was in a camp. Not like a concentration camp but more like a large run down house with a fence all around. Like that shitty house from fight club. Anyway, I’ve been plagued with this forever. Since this is anonymous who cares. Thanks for the post OP, the armor of God is all we have.
Dreams can be prophetic. 😇
I’ve had that thought but if that were true that means the plan has failed or at least has to go farther than we can imagine. I hope you’re wrong. I hope I have an over active imagination. Either way a couple sips of bourbon helps.
Prophecies aren’t always literal. The meaning can be analogous. You’re/we’re prisoners already in several ways, and the military GI/fighter jet could just mean a generalized future fight against authority? Stand strong, & Trust the Plan. Sounds cliche, but I trust God AND the plan. 👍🏽
I’ve had 21 years to analyze these dreams and I hope you’re right. I’ve had dreams my whole life but rarely remember them. These 4-5 were like memories. I’ve always felt like the fighter was possibly a foreign plane. Kinda like they made it inland, completed their task and had to bail because of fuel. I found the pilot and he wasn’t American. With hindsight maybe Chinese. Either way I appreciate your sincere reply and it means a lot. I’ve always had this looming feeling like it was all horrible but you put a new perspective on this for me. Thanks fren, truly.
