Last night, 1:15am-ish, glass shattered somewhere in the house waking both Lyle and I up.
My first thought was that I didn't get the candle blown all the way out before going to bed, even though I distinctly remembered doing so. We checked the whole downstairs, finding nothing.
At which point our sluggish brains started at the thought that maybe it was a window... Just as this thought was beginning to form Jude started screaming from his room. Not a feeling I ever want to experience again. Lyle ran up to check on him without his gun, confirming my suspicians that when sluggish brains are in a panic guns are not going to do us any good. (If we actually have time to get to them when an intruder is present, we probably won't realize we need to do so...I rest my case.) I ran into the living room, where Tessa was sleeping, to check those windows and ask if she had heard anything. She hadn't. Jude was fine. Probably just scared after hearing us going through the entire house. Lyle checked all the windows upstairs, still finding nothing. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep after that. I've checked and re-checked everything I can think of and have still found nothing. It's not like it didn't happen. We both heard it. So what was it?
Ready for more?
A couple of weeks ago as I was loading some laundry into the washer, someone called my name. I jumped about a mile and spun around, not really afraid, because I thought it was Heidi, but freaked out that she had somehow gotten into the house without me knowing...Only she wasn't there. No one was. I checked the whole house. I was so shaken up that I called her to make sure she was okay. Then I called Mom. Then Tess, as all their voices are similar. If I'm going insane, then I'm really going insane because I heard someone say my name, and that wasn't the only time. I'm starting to think maybe my time has come or something. Lyle said next time I should just answer it, like in the Bible. Do you know how crazy that would make me feel? (:
Anyway, just wanted to document.
If nothing else it's a good read.(:

i had a dream sunday night...it was during a very evil time, and was certainly a spiritual war - it was as real as a dream could get. when i woke up, it took me a while to figure out where i was, and i couldn't move a muscle, my jaw hurt from gritting my teeth in my sleep. i really think that God is getting us ready for a spiritual war that we have never seen before, and sadly, like in my dream, many people we know will be decieved
Wow Terah....scary...We will be praying for you guys....
creepy! okay, a couple of weeks ago Chad and I had the SAME bad dream at the SAME time, only we had different view points of the same thing. I woke up screaming and then he woke at the same time. We then started telling each other the same dream, it really creeped us out.
The story of you hearing Heidi is totally creepy! I'd just like to know what all of these things really mean.
Well, Terah didn't mention that Tessa and Heidi both heard the voice call her name the second time it happened.
As far as the glass breaking, it happened - we both heard it very distinctly at the same time coming from the same location. I disagree about the gun thing though. That was my first thought, but since Tessa was out in the living room sleeping I figured it was not a big deal. I was not thinking window or door though as it sounded like a glass was dropped in the sink. Once the thought crossed our minds that a bullet may have gone through a window (shooting is a common occurence in our neighborhood) or someone was breaking in, that was very concerning! I went around 3x and couldn't find ANYTHING!
Maybe it was a car crashing nearby. After hearing that lady wreck in broad daylight, I realized that this is a somewhat eery sound. I would never have realized if the power lines hadn't been shaking. Oh yeah, and if she wasn't in my driveway! Not that I think it wasn't super natural, I'm just trying to make you feel better. =)
Shel, that is really creepy about your dream(s).
You too, Lance.
Let me tell you my "scary" thing...over on my blog. Nothing recent, just an old dream that is starting to feel real to me.
Yeah, Tess was sleeping in the living room...or being brutally murdered, or raped, or kidnapped, or drugged...no big deal. =)
I agree with Lance. I think we are all being prepared for a spiritual battle like we have never experienced. I'm so thankful for christians like all of you. I know that our God is leading us to battle but definitly equipping us with something extra....each other. I will be on my knees for all of you.
I forgot to mention thst I would like to know which kind of "spirit" sounds just like me.
Is it a demon or an angel?
Just want to kow which side is impersonating me. =)
Lately, I've been really noticing the need for intensive prayer---Almost everywhere I look.
My 2 cents, Heidi--I have never heard or read of a messenger from God "impersonating" someone. They always appear to be pretty straightforward about who they are, IMO. It seems to be the demons who like to play mind games. Maybe someone else could enlighten...
Sounds creepy. Really creepy. And yes, on a more-than-once-daily basis I am seeing things in this world that point to a coming battle and a need for intensive prayer. Things that give me a restlessness of heart that only becomes peaceful or comforted after seeking Him.

Monday's Headline- "Time to build new world order"

Im not saying that Christ's return is going to happen today, and I know for sure people have been looking to His coming for centuries, but I just cant help feel that now, more than ever, the world seems headed in a direction which points to those things. I am not a prophecy scholar, but I do know that more and more Christians around the world are being mobilised in their hearts, through the Holy Spirit, for a coming battle.
So thankful to be standing on the rock!
Indeed it does sound creepy. Ruby finally went to sleep so I can write a book :D
New World Order is definitely coming. Not so new, though. Actually probably nearly as old as time itself. At least can be traced back to the Tower of Babel. And we can see the efforts of man to acheive global unification throughout history as empires are continually being built, overthrown and then re-established under a new leader.
I can't help thinking you all are sitting in the middle of a severely spiritually oppressed location. Perhaps "stronghold" would be an appropriate term...and the urgency with which you are seeking God's will is upsetting to "someone". Distraction, deception, fear and confusion are all tools Satan uses to try to keep us from hearing God and obeying His instructions. He can't have your soul, so he is doing his best to keep you from being effective for the Kingdom.
Just a thought.
Praying for safety and wisdom for your family.
Just a suggestion for those of us with wierd dreams
Have you thought to pray and ask God for guidance after them? I have had two very disturbing dreams in the last week, both involving my daughters. There is no quicker way to my heart than through my daughters, i think. After the first one I realized (after praying - i couldn't help it, my heart was so broken) that there was a conversation i needed to have with one of my daughters. In the second dream, as my heart was breaking for another of my daughters, I was crying out to God in my dream and he came and put his arm around me with words of counsel that were just what i needed. I truely believe these two dreams came from God and that He is in the process of preparing my heart, I don't know what for . . .
the direction i have at this point in my life for me is in 1Pe 2:1 Therefore laying aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisies and envyings, and all evil speakings,
1Pe 2:2 desire the sincere milk of the Word, as newborn babes, so that you may grow by it;
Lay aside all of those things and then desire the milk of the word so that i may grow.
Draw near to God and he will draw near to you, cleanse your hands sinners, and purify your hearts you doubleminded
Resist the Devil and he will flee.
(those things in that order)
Love you guys and am praying for you often.
Craig
