A few days ago I awoke from a dream that was ending as follows:
I was playing a strategy game. It was similar in appearance to the video game Civilization Revolution, which I play pretty often in my spare time to relax. Only here the game seemed to have spiritual meaning to it. I was winning battles, and they represented spiritual victories, but the strangest thing was, there was this game piece if you will that looked like a piece to the game "RISK."
It looked like one of the pieces with five sides to it, only it was ALIVE, and moving around here and there very quickly on its own. I sensed it was on my side - an ally to me - but it was SO busy and acting of its own freewill and flying around so much that I didn't know what to do with or about it. So I just sort of rolled with it and accepted it as it was. Then I noticed there was a city on the board in the foreground with soldiers in it, and realized that this crazy RISK piece could be used to capture that city. It was moving so fast that it would cause total havoc if it entered it.
But then the strangest/ scariest thing happened. It was moving around here and there very quickly when suddenly it was attacked by this spider with long legs and two bodies instead of one. The bodies were side by side rather than on top of each other, sort of like a two spiders joined at the hip if you will, but with one set of long legs for both. It attacked the RISK-piece creature like crazy, and both flew around all over the place at lightning speed with the double spider chasing the RISK piece and the RISK piece trying to survive the attack. I realized the spider would kill it if I didn't do something, so I picked up this hammer and looked for an opportunity to strike the spider, only I was afraid of hitting the RISK-piece in the process. But I had to do something, so I started swinging at it. Unfortunately, on about the third strike I think I did hit it, but I kept going anyway, trying to kill the spider. Eventually I hit the spider(s) dead on, and the entire thing disappeared as if it completely disintegrated.
Then I looked for the RISK-piece to see if it was still alive, and it was all curled up up in a ball like when a small insect had been attacked. It appeared close to dead, but I wasn't sure. Then I woke up.
I knew almost instantly what this all represented when I woke up. I had a close friend who used to receive dreams from God that I would interpret, but she was the type who tended to extend herself to others too quickly/ eagerly, which always made me a bit uncomfortable because you don't always know others, and whether they might be friend or foe. This was the going to and fro very quickly, which I couldn't control so just accepted her for who she was. But it was dawning on me that the Lord could use her to confirm to Cessationists that the gift of prophecy was still real if she received more dreams about world events (which she had previously), and Cessationists are what the city with the soldiers in it represented. Unfortunately I think I know who the double spider was. It represented a couple who were practicing witchcraft, and found out she was receiving dreams from God that I was interpreting and attacked her spiritually for it. And in the process of "bringing the hammer down" on them, she got so badly attacked through her association with me that she got pretty badly hurt by the whole thing.
I have since reacted to that dream by regularly praying that every curse and spell those two use on people (any people) is returned upon their heads in the name of Jesus Christ. Those two will either repent of their sins and their witchcraft or they may die prematurely for continuing to practice it. They are tempting fate. As for my friend, while I hate to make it sound bad, I think there was unfortunately something of a lesson she had to learn through it all. It is a dangerous matter to go around just greeting others when you engage in spiritual war. I was somewhat naive myself at the time, not knowing just what those two people actually were who were practicing witchcraft, unbeknownst to me. But then I tend to me more protected spiritually. When it comes to my friend, I'm hoping if she ever goes back to operating in receiving prophetic dreams, she is a little more careful next time. I would suggest the same thing for you. As I said elsewhere recently, receiving prophetic dreams can become a form of spiritual warfare, and there are consequences when it comes to engaging in that sort of thing.
Just sharing, so do with it what you will. There is more I could share, but that's something I received more recently.
Send me a conversation if you'd ever like to discuss these two. I know the basics to the first, and the second one is rather simple.
