Year: 1994
I really want to share this dream with those that have lost the love of their loved ones, to you that have been pushed away and rejected, to you that are in bondage, left out to struggle alone. To you that have been tormented and fooled by satan, living in fear with lies and threats of the devil, to all of you that are longing for the truth and want to be set free, I dedicate this testimony to you. I pray that what ever you read in my testimony will somehow help you in your life's journey.
I gave my life to the Lord when I was 8 years old and since then I have been through some very tough times in my life where I have to battle between my past and my present for my future. Most of the time I had been attacked by the power of spiritual darkness that haunted me for 20 years, it was so strong that it nearly end my life on many occasion, but I thank the Lord for His unfailing Love, giving me the strength to fight on with victory.
I left home when I was 17yrs old and traveled some 300km in search for employment. It took me 5 long years of struggle, pain, loneliness and tears before I finally got a job. I didn't really know what the future holds for me then, but one thing I knew for certain and I thank the Lord for He is my future.
My Dream
Way back in 1994, I have been having this problem of short breath and strange visions, I felt the power of darkness continuously targeting me and my life was hanging on the balance. I felt that I am spiritually dead though I am still alive, and the devil kept on attacking my mind with curses as if they were building a brick wall around me. Beside my bed one night, I knelt down with a heavy heart, with tears and prayed, asking the Lord to save me as I sensed fear all around me. I felt so weak that night thinking that it was the last moment of my life and I may never see the next sunrise again. Feeling so tired I lay down and closed my eyes, and fell to sleep.
I then found myself in another place, it was all desert, hot, dusty and there was no sign of life, chains were tied all around me from my head down to my ankle, armed demons with army uniforms surrounded me, about 6 of them, kicking and ridiculing me as they took me to a place unknown. I WAS A PRISONER. I asked one of them where they were taking me and he replied by saying "to our king". I saw the sun about to set, I looked around and all I saw was me covered with dust, dirt and coiled with heavy chains in the desert. It was a long tiresome journey; I was being dragged like a log, kicked continuously, pushed and towed like a stray animal, mocked, before they finally presented me to their king. "Here is our king," they said, as they threw me in front. Feeling so tired and weak after that long tiresome journey, I could not stand but lay flat on the ground.
Then I heard their king spoke out to me..."Do you really think that you are strong enough? Huh, don't you know that you are mine and my prisoner for eternity? Don't you know that you are all alone now; no one is going to help you? No one can save you; you are my prisoner for ever... I am the king of this world and I have power and authority over it. This is my kingdom... ha...ha...ha...ha..." (laughing)
Just by hearing his voice I knew who he was, the old enemy the devil satan. His voice was so cold, cunning and irritating, full of deceit, full of lies, full of hatred and full of pride. I regain my strength rose up with faith and ready to confront him. When I looked up, I saw his throne and there he sat under a tree, the only tree that was standing there, his tree that bears fruits to all the evils in this world. The tree showed no expression of life, its leaves were not even green but showed lack, emptiness, and without hope. I looked at him, he was tall and slim, big ears, his eyes were red and like that of a fox, never steady or fixed at one point but always moving, his skin was black like the darkness without the light, his throne did not express any kingly statue but pride, everything made of dry wood and tied with strings. And him, there was no glory, no honor, no respect, but pride.
I then replied to his proclamation "you are the king of a kingdom that is without hope, a kingdom without future, a kingdom that will not last and a kingdom that will be destroyed....I am not your prisoner and you are not my king. And I am not going to stay in this place for ever, you have no power or authority over me. Someone who is much stronger than you is coming to save me, He is my King"
"Well then, untie him and let us see, ha...ha...ha...ha" as he ordered his guards. So they took away those heavy chains and left me on my own. I looked around and I saw no one, but an old dusty road ahead of me. I looked up towards heaven and deep inside my heart, I felt that I am in a different place, far, far away from home. Darkness slowly creeping in to where I was and as I looked towards the west, the sun was nearly disappearing beyond the horizon.
I knelt down on that old filthy road and cried from my heart..." Lord Jesus, where ever you are, please I need you right now, free me from this strange place. I kept tapping the ground with my fist while I prayed. Then suddenly out in the sky, a bright light shone and hit directly to where I was. It was so bright with dazzling light and so strong; it moved in closer and closer, stronger and brighter. I was still on my knees when this happened, and this bright light came close enough on top of my head until I saw a shadow of a man within this bright light above me. He came closer, taps me on my right shoulder, and called my name. Oh I knew that voice, yes the voice I used to hear when fears and doubts threatens my life, His voice was so soft, full of love and mercy, full of peace, full of life, of hope and truth, I looked up, turned around with tears of joy and cried "My Lord". "Do not be afraid, he said for I am with you, I am here to save you and to take you to my Father for He is waiting for you."
I looked at Him, shinning in all His Glory, with Power, Authority and Majesty yet with humility, love and mercy. Everything I saw in Him declares who He is, Holy, Righteous and True, the King of kings and Lord of lords. His presence fills me with joy and peace as He bends down, lifted me, and carried me in His mighty Hands like a child.
I was so touched to see how much He loved me. I then felt a sudden lift and when I looked down to see where I was before; with a blink of the eye, I saw nothing. I looked up and felt fresh air on my face as we flew in the midst of the outer space, passing the stars at a very very fast speed. After a moment, I then felt that we were slowing down until we stopped, and the Lord then told me to stand beside Him. I looked down to see if there was something to stand on, there was nothing, I looked around I saw nothing to hold on to, but a big wide space of the universe. I believed and obey what the Lord Jesus told me and there I stood with Him and He then stretched out His Right Hand forward with a smile on His face and said "Look, there is my Father, He is waiting for you." From where we were standing about fifty meters away, I looked towards our Heavenly Father, and like a father who eagerly waits the return of his son, He was calling unto me with a loud voice, with His mighty Hands wide open "My son, oh my son, come, come my son". His Voice was so powerful, holy and full of love echoing from the depth of His Heart. His eyes fixed at mine as he called me and I saw something release from His eyes and came towards me. Like a reflection on the mirror, it landed on my eyes and went right into my heart, and then I felt the density of His Love. It was so heavy, true and profound, I could not explained it, its beyond human understanding. His voice touched the very depth of my heart and made me realized how much He loved me. I could not help myself but wept, Oh how great is His Love towards me, now I know why He had to send His Son so that the whole world might be saved through Him. His unfailing Love I could not ignore, like a force I cannot control and made me draw closer to Him. I ran towards Him, knelt down at His feet and hug Him crying with joy "My father, my Father, my Father". He hugged me and kissed me with joy and tears of His Love;
My crying woke me up when I realized that I was indeed crying on my bed, so I knelt down beside my bed and thank the Lord for his unfailing endless Love. He has broken the chains of darkness and He has lifted me from the bondage of darkness to the freedom of His Eternal Love. Praises to His Holy Name.
This is the dream I will never forget and it will always remain in me reminding me of His Unconditional Love. The Lord has taught me to be strong, to trust Him at all times and to continue to walk in His presence until He comes. Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Only Jesus can save us from the bondage of sin and torments of the devil; no one else can. He died for us and He rose again and is alive. Call to Him to save you and He will do the same for you as He did for me. He promised that He would never leave us nor forsake us so trust Him with all your heart.
The Lord has paid it all, not by silver nor gold nor treasures of this world but by His precious Blood founded on God's Love. Let us then run to the Lord for safety while there is still time before its all too late, when His wrath and judgment falls unto the ungodly.
Jesus said: He is the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Him.
Praise the Lord. Amen.
