Around 6 months ago or so I picked up garbage off my apt complex's property. 2 days later I fell asleep and had a dream. In this dream I was picking up garbage off the property again, basically repeating that same day I cleaned. But this time there was a very strong, 15 foot man standing by me. I did not know he was there, i just kept on picking up the garbage. Anyways, this tall man just kind of followed wherever I went. When I stopped, he stopped. When i started moving, he started moving. The thing was that he was CONSTANTLY looking all around in every direction. He would occasionally look at me, but not often. He was very alert to what was going on around me. Far off into the distance there were a bunch of little midget sized demons jumping up and down like a bunch of maniacs, shouting towards our direction. But they didn't come any closer. The man kept his eye on them but wasn't concerned, just very alert. I looked at his armor. It was very thin, but I could tell it was very strong armor. It's not the armor you see on world armies, this was different and far superior. I have no idea what it was made of. He didn't have a weapon in hand, but I could tell he had a sword that was sheathed. He kept his hand close to it. The whole time in the dream I was totally oblivious to what was going on around me. He was guarding me like he was my bodyguard. So I woke up and knew this was the angel God has assigned to help protect me. I blessed God for letting me see him. It was really nice of Him to show me my guardian angel. So whenever i go out and clean and work, I always remember that I have no reason to be afraid,( unless I have just sinned and refuse to repent) bcuz i have a big, strong, 15 foot tall bodyguard! And besides him, I have God Himself protecting me. That's alot of protection!
As for discernment between what is from God and Satan, when I draw closer to God in prayer, and love Him more and more, discernment comes clearer to me. But I don't draw close to God just to have more dreams, discernment, etc. I draw closer to God just bcuz I love Him, and want to love Him even more. But rejecting the things I don't necessarily need to do, like watching tv, and instead going into my prayer closet with God; really helps me.
When I start doing worldly things that I don't necessarily need to do, it really blurrs discernment, and prevents me from hearing God's voice clearly. Remember, discernment is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. So in order to get sharper discernment, you go to the source, God. But keep praying for sharper discernment. That's my experience anyway. Maybe other people have different experiences.
