DREAMS

3. TRAPPED IN A WOODEN CAGE
On July 10 th 2006, I saw a dream at night. In the dream, one of our Church members was
trapped in a large wooden cage with nets all around. The brothers from our church were trying
fervently to get him out and I too was with them. Finally I was able to tear the nets covering
one side of the cage and the brother was freed.
After I woke up seeing the dream at around 2 am, I prayed for the matter for quite a while. I
knew that the Holy Spirit was showing that this brother was going to be attacked by Satan and I
would be able to free him by taking the appropriate action. On Sunday morning when I reached
the church that I pastored, I wanted to immediately tell this brother to be alert in prayer but to
my surprise the others there told me that he had been hospitalized at 2am that morning with
excruciating abdominal pain and vomiting.
We prayed for this brother fervently during Worship and after the service, several of us visited
him in the hospital. He seemed to be in dire straits with bad abdominal pain and vomiting. Yet,
because I knew what the cause was, we joined together in prayer and I laid my hands on this
brother and rebuked the evil forces that were afflicting him. By evening he was better and the
next day he was free of pain and vomiting and was discharged from the hospital.
Not all sicknesses are sicknesses. Some are demonic afflictions and such can be freed by
rebuking the evil forces/demons in Jesus’ name.
What the Holy Spirit showed in the dream (me freeing him by forcibly tearing the nets that
caged him) was rebuking the demons that afflicted him.
Praise God for the Holy Spirit who is our Counselor and guides us in all things.
The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him. (Psalm 37:40)
4. WHIRLWIND
One night in May 2003, I saw a dream which frightened me a lot. In the dream, I saw me and
my wife stepping into a vehicle without wheels, somewhat like the basket of a hot air balloon.
All of a sudden a gust of wind propels the basket like vehicle into the air. I and my wife hold on
to the sides of the vehicle. The wind increases in might and speed and turns into a whirlwind.
Both of us cling on in desperation with the whirlwind swinging us round and round, up and
down in all directions.
Finally everything becomes calm as the wind subsides and we utter a collective sigh of relief.
Because of the intensity of the dream, I woke up in fear. I knew it was the Holy Spirit speaking
to me of turbulent times ahead. I prayed about the matter immediately and also with my wife
later that morning and also in the coming days.
