Happy Easter!
I had a pretty awesome and interesting dream last night that I would like to share with all of you:
There were a bunch of people (some people I knew, some I did not) in the humongous mansion and God was there. He told us to cast all the demons out of the house and into the basement. So we were all walking around the house casting hundreds of demons into the basement. It seemed that we did this for several hours. God would walk around and help out those that had trouble with specific demons or whatever.
Once we were finished, God told us all to head home, but to return first thing in the morning. As we got on the freeway, you could still see the house, but it looked completely different. It looked brand new and exciting.
The next morning, we returned to the house, which for some reason now included a rollercoaster! There were tons of people we knew there. We began walking around, up and down all 6 levels, just greeting people and saying hello. I noticed that it was a mix of people I knew that knew Christ and people that didn't. I kept thinking how great the house was without all those demons hanging around causing problems, but I wondered how long it would last. Would something release them? I began to wonder who would be the cause of that happening.
I headed over to one of the side rooms and spoke with a group of people. I checked my phone and noticed I had a bunch of new emails, so I started going through them. There was one email from Comedy Central (for whatever reason), so I clicked on it. It was some video of a stand-up comedian. As soon as I started that video, I heard a loud noise as all the demons began flying out from the basement below.
That's when I woke up.
Strange dream, I know. Here's my interpretation:
I know that I go through times in my life where I really don't think I need Christ. I just think that I've really never done anything that bad, so what am I being saved from? And at the same time, I can be very judgmental of people who have lived lives of deep sin, whether they've been forgiven or not. I guess in this way, I sometimes think of myself as above people. As if, maybe if the world were given to me first, then it wouldn't have been screwed up. Such a humble mindset, right?
I think this dream was telling me that even if we were to start over, someone (all of us) would screw it up. In the dream, it was me that screwed it up. Whatever that stand-up video was about caused me to sin in some way, and the house was brought back to it's original state. While I was walking around wondering who would be the one to cause the fall of that house, I never thought it would be me. I mean, God called me into this house to drive out all the demons, there's no way I could be the cause of them flooding back in. But it was me.
This dream is definitely a great reminder that we as humans cannot live a perfect and sin-free life. But, thankfully, God isn't forcing us to. Even though we have chosen to live life apart from God, He has given us the opportunity to live life with Him through Christ. No matter how many times we fail or how we turn our backs on Him, His Love and Grace will continue to cover us.
Good thing God knows me better than I know myself and loves me just the same.
