I had a dream early this morning, and I feel that it has a purpose.  Therefore, I am writing about it. 

I was in a house with several people, who were talking.  One person was talking to a man about how she was going to be working with the man’s wife soon, and she was excited about it.  She and the wife would be co-workers, apparently.  The husband was excited also, and he began telling the woman about all of the tasks that she could do for his wife.  It was clear that he wanted her to be like his wife’s personal servant, even though that was not her job.  I became angry, and I spoke up, realizing his intentions.  Apparently, I knew the wife because I told the woman that the wife was a very sweet and talented person, however, she and her husband were trying to make everything all about her.  I basically told the woman that they are selfish and are trying to take advantage of her.  As I spoke, the husband was silent, but his eyes grew black, and it was clear that he was angry.  I screamed at the people in the room to “look at his eyes!” but it was unclear if they saw them too.  He was becoming angrier and angrier, and I could feel his evil nature.  His nature became even more obvious when I suddenly yelled at the top of my lungs, “Give God the praise!”  When I yelled that phrase I felt myself floating away from the people.  I yelled the phrase more than once, at the evil husband and at every person in the room.  I don’t know what the people did; it’s unclear to me.  Suddenly, I began to wake up.  I woke up with great difficulty, struggling and gasping for air as I tried to become awake completely.  Finally, I was completely awake. 

 

Because the room I was in was completely dark, I then turned on the light and the television as well.  I really did not know what to make of what I had just experienced.  When I turned on the television I turned it onto one of my favorite preachers, Joel Osteen.  There literally were two or three minutes left in his sermon.  When I turned it on there, the topic that he was talking about was clear, “Give God the praise!”  I listened, and he spoke some more, and it was clear that that was the theme of his message, “Give God the praise!”  And I felt that I had received the confirmation that I needed.
