Over the past week we have been up the Far North and while there the Lord gave me a dream that I want to share. In it I saw people resting in their beds and others watching television and it was becoming night time but there was this recognition that an invading army was going to come and invade during the night but within the people there was a sense of hopelessness, acceptance, apathy and fear toward what was going to happen. Initially I got in the bed alongside other people and then I stopped and said, hold on a minute and got up and rallied them with the truth and I saw hope rise and the sense of being overcome go as they stepped up into who they were called to be and not just accept what was going to happen. If we know something is going to attack us we can become very fearful toward it. We can often just accept what is going to come, but the Lord would say - No, rise up and be the overcomer that he has called you to be. Rise up not in your own strength, but in the Lord
