PRAY FOR PROTECTION!

The following is partly a dream and partly reality. Please be aware that this may not be appropriate for young or
sensitive children.
My wife, Becky, and I are at a motel during a trip to share the dreams. It is sometime in the early morning hours. In
my dream I am being tortured. I am in excruciating pain. I awake and find that my arms are being held down behind
my head and my legs are held down at my thighs and ankles. It feels as if a hand is placed down my throat so that I
cannot speak. However, I am able to breathe through my nose. I now feel as if there is enormous pressure on my
chest, making it more difficult to breathe. I am still in pain and want to scream, “Jesus, help me!” but am not able to.
My body begins shaking hard all over from the extreme pain I am experiencing. I am thinking that I will not live through
this. After a short time, Becky wakes up and asks, “What is going on? Why is the bed shaking? Are you okay? Do you
need me to call out the name of Jesus?” I am able to speak now and tell her that I wished she had woken up sooner so
she could have saved me. I tell her to go back to sleep and I lie awake for quite some time.
When daylight came, I explained the incident to Becky. We both realized the importance of asking not just for God’s
angels to protect us but to keep the evil angels away each night and day. We now sleep better than we have in a long
time. We also realized that the ABC dream, from the night before, showed the Spirit of Prophecy book, The Great
Controversy. We understand how much Satan hates this book and the messages of the dreams the Lord is sharing.
Following is the story of how Satan attacked Ellen White before she began writing The Great Controversy.
