I had a terrible dream last night pertaining to the Islamic armies. They were coming for us, chained me and were getting ready to shoot me in the head. Usually when I have a nightmare, I get over the fear within a couple of minutes of waking up, this one took prayer over a period of about an hour. During the dream I remembered thanking God that it was almost over and was looking forward to death.
After waking up, God solidified in my mind that many believers are being murdered brutally all over the world right now, then I began to pray for the persecuted Christians.
I don't know what the dream meant, but I suspect it was God reminding me of the plight of brothers and sisters and that I should pray.
Our generation is not used to seeing ravages of war as so many other countries. We have been sent off to war from time to time, but we have not watched armies marching down our streets murdering everyone in sight as some villages have seen in the middle east.
We have not dealt with bombs exploding daily as the Israeli people have, since the re-establishment of their country in 1948.
When we are faced with this carnage, how will we react? Will we turn to God, that is an interesting question posed to a people who "fight for their rights", rather than allowing God to work. One day we may have no choice but to submit to God, there will be no other recourse for us.
Will you be strong enough to trust Christ when things really get rough? I believe that God will give me what I need when I need it. May everyone remember the persecuted Christians around the world!
