heh..I told them. My dad said he asked me if I was afraid and I told him I was, but it was "a good kind of afraid". If you think about it, that's a pretty odd thing for a four year old to say

"a good kind of afraid". If you think about it, that's a pretty odd thing for a four year old to say yea, it is. it also is pretty much what it means to "fear" Him. to realize that he is soo much greater than us but that he loves us. that kind of power scares me sometimes but is also comforting.

heh, man, do I have some crazy dreams. I've only had one "spiritual" dream though, which happened a couple days before Christmas break, but what was weird was it really didn't have any effect on me until after I got back to college; then all of the sudden it was weighing on my shoulders a lot. Well, here's what happened in my dream:
So I'm in my dorm room which has my bed next to the door, and a desk in between me and my roommate's (who wasn't there that night) bed. Anyways, in my dream I'm in my bed and Satan is attacking me. I'm under my covers practically crying, pleading, "in the name of Jesus Christ, go away!" but he isn't leaving. Instead he continues to try and get me from the other side of my bed covers. This continues for a while, me weeping in fear trying to force him away. Suddenly I'm not scared anymore and sitting up in my bed looking towards the center of my room. In my desk chair (which was moved to the center of my room, in between my roommate's bed and mine) is sitting Satan. He isn't red and horned, but a man of about 30 years, wearing a white button-up dress shirt and black pants and shoes, with a high forehead and slicked back black hair and very angular features such as pronounced high cheak bones, sharp nose, etc. Now for the life of me I can't remember what he wanted of me, but all I remember is he wanted me to do something very simple and seemingly harmless, like getting a glass of water from the kitchen, or something like that. I refused, saying "no" but he persisted, trying to get me to do it. And I continued to refuse. This went on for a while, but I didn't give in, and finally I just woke up.
I'm really glad I didn't do what he wanted me to, but what is slightly disturbing is that in dreams you can always tell they're dreams because there's always something off, like things that can't/don't exist in real life are there, lack of details, etc. But in my dream [?] there was nothing like that. It was extremely realistic, and took place where I was sleeping. I'm not saying it wasn't a dream, but it's a possibility. Weird huh? Ha ha, if you guys want to think I'm crazy, I can tell you more dreams I've had... -Kerrick

Probably. Could be what was going on in his life? Maybe, but nothing was really going on. There weren't any extreme temptations or anything like that, just my plain 'ol boring life. Its meaning remains a mystery to me.

God once told me in a dream that the End of the World was here.

It was pretty recent. I like your idea about the bomb shelter, it might come in handy. Although from what I saw, it was more guns and swords than bombing. The sky was red, if that helps.

i had a dream once in which their was a demon in my bathroom, which is right outside my bedroom door, and he turned off the bathroom light and then he grabbed my brother, and covered his mouth, and with absolutely no fear in me i sat up in my bed, cause it was like the middle of the night, and i screamed at the demon saying "get out! get out! in the name of Jesus Christ get out! and right when i started to pronounce the J for Jesus, it looked like the demon got sucked into a vortex, and he was gone, only on his way out i could hear him screeching at the name of Jesus! then i laid back down a fell asleep, in my dream, right after it ended i woke up. and everything in my house looked the same as it had in my dream, with my bedroom door open a little and everything. the weird part is the demon looked almost exactly the same as the demons on the cover of BTA's cd! Demons are so cowardly, they come to you at night, and the run when you say Jesus, freakin cowards! i heard a story about, i cant rememer who, but my pastor told it in a message once, so he said that this guy, and for some reason i think it was C.H. Spurgeon, but im not sure, anyways he was sleeping and he heard some rustling in his room, so he wakes up and sees Satan standing at the foot of his bed, and he goes, "oh, it's just you" and he goes back to sleep. I think thats how it should be, we shouldnt fear Satan or his workers cause they are cowards, and can do nothing without God's permission!

Dude, I just had a very similar dream last night. In my dream, I was in my bed (again, everything was exactly the same as real life...) and I saw a demon outside my window, next to my bed. He was very dark and pretty big, and I think he had horns. I remember thinking, "oh again, this time I'm not going to be scared" and so I wasn't. Then he was inside my room and he grabbed me. I was being held about 2 feet up above my bed by this demon in the corner of my room. I was yelling, "in the name of Jesus Christ, go away!!!" I yelled it about 4-6 times when he just exploded! He just blew apart and I fell back down on my bed, and that's the end of it. It was pretty cool. -Kerrick
