dream

I awoke from a dream this morning.  In my dream, I was standing outside of an old pickup truck much like the one that my husband has.  The windshield was half busted out and there were two occupants inside the truck.  The truck was parked near a huge dam.  Beside the dam there was a giant TV screen and on the TV came a news bulletin that simply said that great calamities were about to come on the earth.  The passenger scrambled out of the windshield and started running.  I said hey, not yet, but then the dam began to brake and I said ohhhh yes yet,  I had no idea where to go to be safe from the wall of water that was about to crash around me but the guy in the truck maneuvered his truck between me and the crashing water and I woke up.  Lord help us all look to the one true God in heaven to save us and not lean on the arm of flesh.  2 Chronicles 32:8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/2CH.32.KJV

Distraction Dilemma 1 - Overture: Our Personal Journey

The tempter can never compel us to do evil. He cannot control minds unless they are yielded to his control. The will must consent, faith must let go its hold upon Christ, before Satan can exercise his power upon us. But every sinful desire we cherish affords him a foothold. Every point in which we fail of meeting the divine standard is an open door by which he can enter to tempt and destroy us. And every failure or defeat on our part gives occasion for him to reproach Christ.When Satan quoted DA 125.2 - DA 125.3
