In May God revealed to me that I have been called to be a warrior. I heard, "you will do great battle in the future. I have called you to fight."
I have had many dreams about doing battle. I believe this one was illustrating the recent battle with the evil spirit in my son. (Please see blog post on July 10, 2025 entitled "Report of God healing adult-aged son")
Years ago I had a vivid dream. On a medieval battlefield wearing armor, I was in a very heated battle ..... wounded but able to go on fighting. The match between myself and my opponent was nearly even. There were dead bodies all around me. I was growing tired and weak from the energy spent. The thought came that I needed something else ..... a different weapon .... what is it ...... where is it ........ I looked around. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a huge sword. I was able to pick it up between defensive moves. Once I picked it up, the strength was immediate and I felt invincible. I advanced strongly and the enemy retreated.
When I awoke and thought about the dream. I knew immediately that the sword in my dream is the sword of the spirit. It made all the difference in the battle.
Ephesians 6
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
In the case of my son ....... the moment that I heard to pray a red hot prayer, I found and picked up that sword .... the revealed word of God to me ..... and ..... God's will for Ian ....... the devil retreated .... and was cast out.

When we fight with the weapon God gives us, it is powerful, mighty through God as we're told in 2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
I once had a dream in which we were given forks to use as weapons, and I killed several of those in the enemy army with a fork! Mighty through God. Here's that dream (3/19/2006) ...
I once had a dream in which we were given forks to use as weapons, and I killed several of those in the enemy army with a fork! Mighty through God. Here's that dream (3/19/2006) ...
I was in a rather small army and we were about to be attacked by a much larger army. We were led to go into a room on an upper floor of a building. We knew the enemy would come there and that the battle would be in this room. There was a table and chairs in the room. Although I thought about turning the table on its side to use as a type of shield, other people had already started doing that.
We didn’t have weapons such as guns; we were given forks.
There was a closet near the door through which the enemy would enter. I took a fork and went into the closet, leaving the door partially opened.
Then the enemy started coming through the door. I reached out of the closet, grabbed an enemy soldier, and stabbed the soldier several times with my fork. When that soldier fell, I reached and grabbed another.
After having done this several times, the enemy saw what I was doing and 3 of them came to kill me. It looked totally hopeless for me.
But then, suddenly, the fighting stopped. I asked others in the army I was in why the fighting stopped and was told that it was because I was being attacked.
There was a rule that if a soldier was already injured, they could not be attacked. At first I wondered how this pertained to me, but then saw a small cut on my left arm. I don’t think I was even aware of this during the battle, and it certainly hadn’t stopped me from killing several of the enemy. But, evidently, this was seen as a serious offense by those in power. So the fighting had been stopped and the enemy army was held responsible for this by those in authority.
Jesus said: Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
I was concerned that I had stabbed each enemy soldier several times and wondered if this was going against the rules as well. However, I was told that this was ok since I stabbed the soldier multiple times in the same attack ... I hadn’t set out to attack someone who was already wounded.
As we waiting in the room, we received word that the enemy had admitted they were wrong. We thought the fighting would now resume. But as we waiting in the room for the enemy to return, we noticed through a window that the enemy troops were marching out of the city. The battle was over.
After waking from this dream, I was reminded of the following:
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Isaiah 55:8-9 For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts.
