I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT THAT I WAS PLAYING THIS COMPUTER GAME TITLED “TRIBULATION”. ON THE GAME A HUGE SNAKE WOULD EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT—PEOPLE, BUILDINGS, ETC—ANYTHING IN ITS PATH IT WOULD DESTROY. IT HAD A FEROCIOUS APPETITE. WHEN IT WENT IN WATER IT CAUSED TIDAL WAVES, WHICH CAUSED EVEN MORE DESTRUCTION. I DIDN’T LIKE THIS GAME. I QUIT PLAYING IT WHEN I REALIZED WHAT THE THEME WAS—THE SNAKE WAS SATAN DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN HIS PATH—WHICH IS OFCOURSE, WHAT HE WILL DO DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION.




THEN, THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER, I’M AT SOME KIND OF A CAMP.IT STARTS OUT SIMILAR TO A KID’S SUMMER CAMP. IT IS RUN BY EVIL MEN.THE MAN IN CHARGE OF MY GROUP WAS TORMENTING THESE TWO MEN. HE HAD THEM KNEEL DOWN ON THE GROUND, SIDE BY SIDE. I KNEW WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO AND I COULDN’T BEAR TO WATCH. AS I’M WALKING AWAY WITH ANOTHER SCARED GIRL (I WAS A TEENAGER AND SO WAS SHE), I LOOKED BACK (EVEN THOUGH I HEARD NO SCREAMS) AND THE EVIL MAN HAD ALREADY CHOPPED OFF BOTH ARMS OF THE ONE MAN! THEY WERE CHOPPED OFF AT HIS ELBOWS. I WAS HORRIFIED! I LOOKED ALL AROUND THE CAMP AND THERE WAS NOTHING BUT TORTURE GOING ON. I WAS CRYING AND TOLD THE OTHER GIRL “I’VE GOT TO GET ALONE SO I CAN TALK TO JESUS! I NEED JESUS! I HAVE TO TALK TO HIM.” WE KEPT WALKING UNTIL WE FOUND THE ROAD. IT WAS DARK NOW AND VERY COLD. I WANTED TO GO BACK AND GET MY COAT, BUT WE DECIDED IT WAS TOO RISKY. THE OTHER GIRL SAID SHE WAS TOLD BY OUR EVIL OVERSEER THAT SHE WAS NEXT. SO, I SAID ”LET’S SIT HERE AND PRAY.” WE SAT ON A DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS A GENERAL STORE NEXT DOOR. I DECIDED WE WOULD GO THERE TO CALL MY MOM TO PICK US UP EARLY IN THE MORINING BEFORE ANYONE WAS AWAKE.OUR PLAN WAS TO RETURN TO CAMP BEFORE WE WERE FOUND MISSING, AND GET UP EARLY TO MAKE OUR BIG BREAK.




WHEN WE GOT TO THE STORE, SEVERAL OVERSEERS CAME IN BEFORE WE HAD THE CHANCE TO CALL. WHEN THEY SAW US THEY WERE FURIOUS! SEVERAL GATHERED AROUND ME, SCARING ME, BUT THEY WALKED OUT THE DOOR, EXCEPT FOR ONE.




HE WAS TALL, DARK-HEADED WITH VERY DARK AND SINISTER EYES. I ACCIDENTLY BRUSHED UP AGAINST HIS ARM, AND HE LOOKED AT ME AS IF HE WOULD KILL ME RIGHT THERE. THEN HE TOOK MY HAND AND RUBBED HIS FOREARM WITH IT. I DIDN’T LIKE TOUCHING HIM. THEN, I REMEMBERED JESUS. I DIDN’T HAVE TO TAKE THIS ABUSE! I BELONGED TO JESUS AND I HAD HIS POWER. I YANKED MY HAND AWAY AND TOLD HIM I WASN’T PUTTING UP WITH THIS ANY LONGER. HE GAVE ME AN EVIL LOOK AND THEN I GRABBED HIM AND THREW HIM IN A CHAIR. I SAID “ I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB! JESUS IS MY LEADER. JESUS CHRIST! REMEMBER HIM? HE HAS GIVEN ME POWER OVER YOU.” THE MAN BECAME HELPLESS AND LOST HIS POWER AND COURAGE. I SHOVED HIS FACE BACK AND IT FOLDED LIKE A PIECE OF PAPER. I KEPT REPEATING THAT JESUS WAS IN CHARGE—NOT HIM. JESUS IS THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS. I WAS BOLD AND AUTHORITIVE.




I GUESS HE DISAPPEARED AFTER THAT.




BACK AT THE CAMP, I SAW “PEOPLE” THROWING LASER BALLS AT EACH OTHER (FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED). IT WAS GETTING REALLY BLOODY FROM THE DEAD AND INJURED. IT WAS GRAPHIC CARNAGE. I REMEMBER THINKING THAT THOSE OF US WHO DIDN’T KNOW THE WORD OF GOD AND HOW TO USE OUR HOLY SWORDS WOULD BE DEFEATED. MANY OF THEM WERE. I FELT SO BAD FOR THEM, WISHING THEY HAD LISTENED INSTEAD OF DOING THEIR OWN THING ALL THIS TIME. IF THEY HAD TRAINED, THEY WOULD’VE KNOWN HOW TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AND OTHERS AND DEFEATED THE ENEMY.




THEN, THE NEXT THING I KNOW, I WAS BACK IN THE OFFICE AND I NEEDED TO ARREST A MAN- A CRAZY MAN. HE WOULDN’T SUBMIT, SO I FORCIBLY GRABBED HIM AND THREW HIM IN A CHAIR. ANOTHER DEPUTY HELPED ME GET HIM HANDCUFFED. THEN WE WERE READY TO TRANSPORT HIM.




THE LORD HAS SHOWN ME, IN THE PAST, THAT WHEN I AM MAKING ARRESTS IN MY DREAMS, I’M ACTUALLY IN THE SPIRIT REALM MAKING SPIRITUAL ARRESTS OF THE ENEMY. THAT IS BINDING THEM AND DELIVERING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BOUND BY THE ENEMY.
