Sometimes Neil gives information I wasn’t necessarily looking for… It’s helpful, though, to have the facts and be prepared with a plan.
Have you ever been awakened in the night, at 3am or
otherwise, sensing a presence? If I
have, I can’t remember it. I did,
however, experience a fearful wakeup of another kind…
My husband was away on a business trip, and I hate being
alone, especially at night. In the
middle of the night, I was awakened out of a sound sleep by what I thought was
someone pounding on my front door.
Thinking it through in the light of day, intruders don’t usually knock,
but at the time, it was terrifying.
I sat up in bed, listened for all I was worth, and then said
out loud, “God, if someone’s out there, please show them the enormous, big,
burly angel you have guarding my house.”
And then it hit me:
if I was so sure that the angel was there – God was diligently
protecting me – what did I have to be afraid of? Instantly, the fear was gone. I laid back down and went right back to
sleep.
Neil’s steps are:
Consciously place yourself in the Lord’s hands, resist Satan with the
spoken Word, and go back to sleep.
I’ll log that away, should I ever have to use it.
