Dreams

I have been having dreams every night. I can't seem to make sense of them and some are too short to remember but I wake up in the midst of them. Praying God will reveal. Maybe I'm just tired or worried. If a dream stays with me and I can't seem to get it off of my mind then it usually means something.

Woman and the Beast

On this day my emotions began to get the better of me and I couldn't understand it until I realized that I needed to pray. There was a stirring in the air- it was thick and upsetting.

This is what I prayed through and saw:

I saw a girl standing right in front of me. She appeared unconcerned - not upset or anything like that. Behind her was a massive beast of some kind. I could not see its head because it was hidden behind hers - but I did see its body. The body was that of some kind of beetle or insect except that it was not smooth on top over its body. Its was enormous in size towering over her entire body. The body was rigid and sharp. Hairs stuck out from the body - short, thick, and firm almost like a piece of wire. They stood straight out - strong - unrelaxed.

The beast had many legs almost like an octopus but not. The legs were thin, long, and wiry. They stretched behind her - up - and around her - never touching just in constant movement. All of the legs looked the same except ONE. One of the legs had a ball of what looked like hair at the end of it - almost like what you would see on the tail of an adult lion. The hair wasn't hair it was thin blades that could cut. It looked like it was made out of the same thing the hair on the body was made out of which explains the stiffness.

While all of the other limbs were moving this limb moved too. None of the other limbs touched this girl except the one with the blades on the end. The limbs would flail around and then this one would come down and strike her lower right leg - cutting it. It kept happening over and over again. The girl did not try to move nor did she try to stop it - she just stood there and allowed the strikes to continue. Allowing the cuts to continue.

I cried more intensely as the scene unfolded and I asked God to send help. Normally God sends help and there is a great battle. But this time the Lord said, "She has to want to get better."

I heard again, "All she has to do is step out." "All she has to do is step out."

Then something happened - the Lord began to show me what would happen if she stepped out. If she stepped away from the beast. She took a step forward and then the hand of the Lord came down and picked the beast up just like you would pick up a lobster and he took it away - it was gone. It seemed so simple yet I understood it to be so difficult.

I then saw the girl with cupped hands step forward a few more steps, raise her cupped hands toward the heaven, and release a beautiful butterfly. The butterfly flew upwards toward the Lord and she smiled with a radiance - God's radiance shining upon her.

I knew after the prayer that the girl needs to step out in order for healing to occur. She would have to want to get better, do the work, work on her stuff - that is stepping out. The Lord will remove the beast lingering over her, around her, and behind her once she steps away from it. She needs to want to step away from it - and then do it.

I will continue to pray as she moves forward in her healing.
