Our Wednesday texts are mostly informative or tips. However, God spoke to my heart in a very strong way and I couldn’t let it pass.
In today’s text I will tell you something that happened to me last night. A brief testimony about an experience that I had last night and that paralyzed me.
The Testimony
In my family, we have the habit of praying together before bed. Something very good that always brings me peace. However, this time it was different.
For some reason, after the moment of prayer, when I was in my room, I began to feel a great fear and I was extremely distressed. I didn’t know where that fear came from and why I was feeling that way. Like any Christian, I prayed that God would take that fear away from me and that any attempt by the evil one would be sent away.
I slept in distress and without understanding what was happening. I woke up several times during the night and had bad dreams. And I realize that it happened, because I didn’t have enough faith to believe that God would hear my prayer and take that fear away from me (James 1: 6-7).
Sometimes I feel that I don’t know the Lord well enough to believe in His power and to believe that He works in my life. I don’t have enough faith to understand that God has the power to do it and He does it. I would even like to leave this as a prayer request: that I have more faith.
“For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.“
Psalms 30:5
But our God is merciful. Even though I knew my lack of faith and trust in Him, at dawn, the Lord touched me and spoke deeply to my heart: why do you fear? Do not trust me? Don’t you understand that regardless of the situation you are in, I will be by your side? Don’t you understand that I am your Father and that I take care of you?
Glories to God for the love He has for us. We are not worthy of His mercy and grace, but even so, despite our incompetence, He is the most competent of all. Although we do not have the strength to do anything, He strengthens and comforts us in times of difficulty.
God is above everything
With this event, God reminded me of His power – despite my difficulties, my lack of faith and all my sins, He remains perfect and unchanging.
Furthermore, the Lord reminded me of His love – unconditional and immeasurable love, which reaches us even when we think we are unreachable.
“with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;
Psalm 136: 12
His love endures forever.“
If you can, read all of Psalm 136. It speaks of God’s sovereignty, of His great deeds, of His power and also of His love that lasts forever.
Grace and Peace.

This is so profound. I am reminded that in spite of our shortcomings, God’s love for us does not grow any less. What we need to do is, learn to trust and appreciate His mercy.
Amen always trust in God and his son jesus christ, he will never,ever leave us in the time that we are afraid,and feel that we are alone he stands next to us to guide and protect us and our family.the most important thing is that we stick together and love one another like he love ALL of us and die for all of our sins on the cross. Amen.

That was so encouraging and inspiring in our spiritual walk. I and I’m quite sure millions of others rejoiced in that testimony. God bless you, and thank you.
Life& death r in power of tongue! Jesus wasnt hangin fo self doubt or condemnation but for our fathers love, Grace & purposeful will,we r created in His image,don’t fret His promising purposes! Get eyes of self & give Him throne without limitations, whole heartedly,in love,for His glory & UNITY with His Holy Spirit,singing praises for the battle is already won through His beloved Sons blood…We r to pray His will on earth as in Heaven&to God be ALL the glory! If u awaken or fear givit toGod & pray for others, or for Gods will in who He’s seeking u to pray for,maybe som1 u dont know but Hes listening & does hear intercessory prayer. WARRIORS LEAD in Jesus name without limitations for He has our backs!
I think all of us have fear do to this coronavirus but we just need to have faith and trust in the lord I🙏 know he’ll take care of us
I’ve experienced the same thing couple weeks ago wow. We I remember I can put my trust in him all of my fears went away. 🙏🏾 thank you for sharing
I too have had one of those nights two nights ago. I had to keep reminding myself of his love and protection.
I felt the same way last night. I thank my king Jesus for His unfailing love ❤️🙏🙌
Great information
I too have been fearful and was convicted of my lack of faith…I felt the Lord speak deep in my heart last night we are heading for persecution and was fearful till I made up my mind to still be happy and praise God regardless of what comes…we need to pray for each other to stand strong because it’s only those who are faithful who will have a crown
Thank you so much for this and it brought light to me as I’m in the same boat with lack of trust that everything will be okay as long as I keep walking beside him … So I’m steppin out of the boat and in to the water because The Lord will rescue and always be by my side ..
I always struggle that I’m low faith!
Thanks for Sharing with us.🥰
Thank you. Sometimes we just doubt but the Word reassures us how real God is!!
Wow….God is definitely speaking. I went through the same thing last week. As spoke to some one who said they’ve been having weird dreams lately.
Love to read but the typing is so Loire can’t hardly read!!
Thank you for sharing, I had almost the same experience as yours today.
Had a nightmare around 4am, I woke up very frightened and even after praying the fear wouldn’t go way.
So I stood up and meditated on Psalm 91, only then I could go back to sleep.
Thank you so much for these words as i also sometimes struggle in these ways with my faith. May God strengthen your faith and my faith in these difficult days in the name of Jesus our Lord and Saviour. May the peace of Christ be with you and all who read this.
Wou what a great experience. Thanks for sharing
God bless you today and forever Amen.You have woke me up this morning with great faith and understanding , that am not alone.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We need this. Thank you again. God bless you.
Wow …God bless u more
God bless you for the word. Great inspiration.
He is Sovereign over all indeed thank you for sharing
I actually thought you were talking about me, I don’t normally respond to anything, however, I used to feel the same and the dreams got worst, after waking up so many nights, I changed my approach so that everytime I’m up at night, I would use it to continue praying and praising God until I felt renewed.
My whole life changed, now I fear nothing, always remind myself of 2Tim1:7😍.
Glory to God!
Proud of u Lina,be ye not of this world but renewed in the power of yo mind through our God given authority
Amen. Yes I know that dread. Yes, I pray lifting others and thanking God for that Gift He gave. Praising Him for His care. Reading Psalms and thinking about them. If there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on those things. May God increase our faith. He knows. He cares!
Thank you for your encouraging words. I have being feel that way for a little. Sometimes as hans we doubt and then fear creeps in that is why we need to have the peace of God yo help us thru this time of need.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing this. I too am going through the same situation where I have been filled with fear. I, like yourself have said to myself, you don’t really know The Lord as well as you thought, otherwise, you wouldn’t be fretting like this.
Father forgive me for doubting your Word and promises. Take away my doubts, even though I don’t understand what you are doing. Bless me with the gift of faith, so I may accept your will in Jesus Precious name. Amen
Hi, I had the same feeling yesterday and the day before, wake up many times at night, but I read the Bible and feel better and went back to sleep. Thank you for the words.
I strongly believe you that, sometimes we think that our prayers is going nowhere. But as a human being, we are all think like that way. We have to believe that our Merciful God is in control of our problems and have faith in him.

God help me to have faith when i pray
Stay Blessed. I thank the Lord God for His assurance. Thank you for your encouragement.
With u Brother, Promises of God r enough & the Holy Spirit burns stronger in us in persecution… HE will not leave us nor forsake us nor can nothing or any1 pluck us from HIM above, beneath or in this world! What AWESOME reassurance & privelage it is to be a child & heir of ✡His promising purposes & WILL
I have some good nights but most of the time have to contend with sleeplessness. This happened when I didn’t have a job for 5 years now. I’m trying to do my own business but so far has been unsuccessful. On top of that, I had to deal with health issues. I think I would not be here today if not for the little faith I have in our Lord and Savior. He reigns in our hearts and keep our minds sane. Glory be to God on high.
When God closes a door He opens a window…your comment reveals yo heart, write for Gods will & glory, u r AWESOME
God is our refuge and strength, He will never see the righteous forsaken nor their children beg their bread. God will make a way for you when you ask HIM for what you really want. A job or a business you have to be specific not waffling. God blessings over you. Amen
Hello sir, the exact same thing happened to me last night , I woke up unable to breath. The enemy was telling e that i was going to die. So then today i was reminded by God of the crazy faith in HIM that we as believers ought to have. Crazy faith!!!! Knowing His character knowing His resume believing He only wants what is good for us and that victory ove death was one not he cross and sealed with th resurrection. In Jesus Name , amen.
* and that the victory over death was won on the cross and sealed with the resurrection. In Jesus name amen
U r absolutely right…Lets all get eyes where they should be warriors, on our Father’s will for us to conquer & destroy the lies of this enemy!!! Definately getn too much credit🤔
I had same feeling yesterday, couldn’t sleep properly. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, He’s control of everything. God is almighty, we don’t need to worry about anything. He will take care of us.
We all have fears because we are made of flesh . But we go to Him for safety because He is God Almighty. ‘Be still and know that I am God ‘. He IS in control. Praise God.
Amen! we have an adventurous God. Just enjoy the ride, He is your father and God!😃

Reading this has really reminded me of how God is always there no matter what the situation. Not only go to God in times of fear, but to always give praise to him in the times of Joy as well.
✡UNITY 👀💓🕆🕊
I’ve had a hard day, but I’m starting to do a little better. Have been very anxious and angry as well. This leads to old compulsions, which seem to clutch my very soul. But God is, as he always has, close beside me. Each and every time. If I could only let go…
Praise will release you
To God be the glory
