READ: Job 7:1-15
“Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:” – Job 7:14
The devil has a counterfeit for everything that God does. God is not the author of confusion. A dream, which brings confusion, is not from God. The Spirit of God is not a spirit of fear. Something that comes to frighten you is not from the Spirit of the Lord.
Satan will give you a picture of some evil event and tell you that dream is going to happen. Many Christians have been trapped into disasters, untimely deaths and all manner of wickedness by demonic dreams.
People are trapped into barren- ness by means of dreams. This is how it happens: Satan shows them a picture of barrenness or a picture of them sleeping with someone else. These dreams have one aim: to frighten you and to instil fear into your heart. You begin to fear that you will not have a child. You begin to fear that things will not work out normally for you. When fear has taken a foothold, the real thing can happen! Fear is not a mood or a feeling; it is a demon spirit. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear” (2 Timothy 1:7).
Remember that Job eventually experienced what he was afraid of. God had blessed him with houses, lands, prosperity, children and great riches. Yet, he was afraid that something bad could happen to him. “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me…” (Job 3:25). Be careful of the things that you fear because the things that you fear will happen! That is why Jesus often said, “Fear not! Only believe!”
