  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Last night, I dreamed I was living in a beautiful castle. There was a man there, although I never saw him. I'm not sure whether I was a wife, sister, nanny, or what. There was also a little boy, I'm not sure he was my son or not, but I don't think so. Anyway, I was doing things around the house, and there were these huge windows that opened up like doors, and since it was a nice day out, I left them open. I was just looking outside, when I saw black smoke appear near the house. Not like smoke from a fire, but very black and swirling, and it was moving toward the house. I knew it was an entity of some sort, and I became very terrified. The master of the house shouted at me from another room to quickly shut the windows, and I did so. I ran and grabbed the little boy, and ran towards one of the bedrooms. We locked the door behind us, and I told the boy to hide. I tried to move a dresser in front of the door, but it was too heavy. The only other things in the room were not very sturdy, but I put a small chair and some other things up against the door. I could hear the master talking to the entity, which was now in the house. They were kind of arguing, but I couldn't make out what they were saying to each other. I looked at the door, and it had come unlocked somehow, and was ajar. I was so scared that the smoke thing was going to hurt the master, and then us. I seemed unable to shut the door again, like I was frozen in place trying to figure what to do next, and thought that there is no way that chair is going to hold.

I don't remember anything after that.

God's great peace be multiplied to you freedom4all!

Would seem your dream could be an indication of a possible stronghold of fear in your life. A castle is usually high up on a mountain and well fortified, so would symbolize you were in the fortress of the Most High God and well protected by Him, represented by the Master! You were enjoying Him and carefree (it was a nice day). :D Then the enemy came in like a flood, yet the Master shouting shows He was watching out for you, especially that you were busy pleasing and serving Him. You could see the attack coming and wisely heeded the Master's instructions quickly without any hesitation! So you were sufficiently Divinely protected, yet it was seemingly your lack of trust and low faith factor, that made the door unlock and stay ajar. You were in the Strong Tower of the Lord, so you had no reason to fear for the Master's safety, nor for your own, nor for the boy's. Your Lord reigns far above all principalities and powers! :prayer: You are safe in the loving Hands of your Master! :clap:

Fear is a spirit to be resisted! Greater is Jesus in you and He has made you more than a conqueror! :thumbsup:

Joshua 1:8-9 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Psalm 47:1-2 Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For the LORD Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth.

Psalm 18:1-3 I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Psalm 91:14-16 "Because [you] love... Me," says the LORD, "I will rescue [you]; I will protect [you], for [you] acknowledge... My name. [You] will call upon Me, and I will answer [you]; I will be with [you] in trouble, I will deliver [you] and honor [you]. With long life will I satisfy [you] and show [you] My salvation."

Isaiah 26:3-4 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.

Isaiah 42:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Isaiah 54:10 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor My covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

John 10:27-30 My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and the Father are one."

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
