Why Is The Name Jesus Not Effective In My Nightmares? by Smartlife(m): 4:25pm On Feb 22, 2015
I thought about this and I decided to share this.. This is not the first time this is happening.

Just this early morning I had a terreble nightmare about two beautiful women who had something like brown small ball on their head. They were far away and and one of them send me one ball to me. As I was shouting Jesus it seems it's not working. They even become stronger and came closer me in a matter of seconds and was forcing that ball inside I was weak and had a hard time breathing. Had it been not my brothers that hit me. Hmmm I wonder o. They told me I was shouting Jesus but in my dreams it was uneffective.

Because you were calling the name of a dead Jew undecided .

First off, you need to learn that dreams are a visual projection of your (mind)brain's activity while you sleep. You will only see things you have experienced or thought of in real life.

Secondly, you alone can conquer what evil form that appears in your dream with whatever you believe is superior. For christians, it might be Jesus, for muslims maybe Allah or recitation of some verses for me I simply wake up or develop some superhero powers (Too much cartoons @ childhood tongue)and gbam Evil forces are gone.

Why the name Jesus didn't work is because you had a doubt while dreaming that your superior being won't do the job. Next time believe it as you say it.

Admitting that dreams are just visual projections of brain activity is the first step to conquering your dreams.

Jesus is our Big brother. I do have nightmares initially but when I took my Christian life serious, changes happened. One funny thing was even when I was a sinner, the name still works for me. I would advise you read more about Jesus and His works, so you can have a better understanding of what the name can do. No offense, the fact I said, even when I was in sin it worked for me doesn't mean you should continue in sin and expect the name to work for you.

If God be for us, no one can be against us. Don't worry, God's grace is abundant unto those that call upon his Name. It doesn't matter whether we are a Greek and a Jew.

hmmmm, what should I say. Everyone have an Angel here on earth, and this Angels communicate with us. The mind can only search and feature what he has seen. Well, creating philosophies about dreams is not helping issues. Yeah, our guardian Angel communicate to us via our dream what is about to happen, and the reason this things are communicate is not for us to fall into unnecessary fear. But to pray and fast the more and draw closer to God. Just draw closer to God bro, and I believe, Jesus said, He will never leave us nor forsake us, and one thing I can assure you, Jesus is ready to proud himself strong, if only you're can read 2nd Chronicles 7:13-16. Then you should pray. I believe your faith is increased. Glory and worthy is the lamb that was slained on the cross for your sake.

I'm not saying you should concentrate on your dream. Just concentrate on God, the effect of the dream will fizzle out naturally.

One thing I know is, a slave doesn't have any right in his master's property. Not even one, only a Son can own, and the Bible said, spare the rod and spoil the child. Let me say this, I would so much love to be a muslim, well, apologies, we don't serve the same God, God is not a God of confusion. My God is not an idol I need to bow to or cite incantations to before he hears. I can be on the express and my heart is connected to my father who have given me dominion over everything on earth. Yeah, everything and a slave like I said, don't have a right, only a son does.

Did you ever stop to think that the answer to your calling Jesus was your brother waking you up?

You expect extraordinary miracles and fireballs from heaven to consume them? God answers in the little things. That is why most Christians are ungrateful. They didn't get the Million Naira they asked for but they forget that some of their mates are in prison or dead.

Honestly there is power in that name. The Bible says at the sound of the name JESUS, every kneel must bow...

Whenever I'm upright, I have boldness to use it in my nighmares and my tormentors will disappear. Whenever I have a pending case of sin to settle or have not repented of a sin, I wouldn't be able to shout the name in my dream- something will seize the sound of my voice. Its only sin, doubt, and unbelieve that will make demons dare the sound of that name, JESUS.

what is d moral of ur story?
Re: Why Is The Name Jesus Not Effective In My Nightmares? by Weah96: 5:52am On Feb 24, 2015
Is shouting the name supposed to confer some kind of authority? I recently watched a movie on Netflix called the Iceman and the assassin in the movie became offended when one of his victims began praying to God for help. The assassin, who is the Iceman, gave the man 5 mins to pray and ask Jesus to save him certain death. The prayer didn't work. He then shot the man in the head.

Try shouting out the name of some of your ancestors next time, and try to imagine their faces instead of the white man's face. That is the source of your problem.

All you do is come to Nairaland and accuse people of once sin or the other like you are some perfect dude. Who made you a judge of sinners? Who actually do you think you are? This playing God of yours is fast becoming annoying bro

Dude, I can also shoot a movie and direct it how I like. By the way, God honoured Hannah's request for a child, because she said she will give it to the temple and we know the great works Samuel did. What am trying to say is this, if God was to do anything, He checks it with His agenda. If it is out of His agenda, call on His name till everlasting, He won't give a listening ears.

LOL, I can also type up a short story and make the characters do and say what I want. You read a story about fictional characters called Hannah and Samuel and decide that the story applies to real life. The Netflix movie I watched is closer to reality than that mendacious bible script.

The movie doesn't show the God character, instead it shows some guy praying to Jesus for help, right before the Iceman blows his brains out. In your own script, the character called God defies the laws of nature, and talks to human being. The authors didn't address the sound of the voice or the accent of the voice. A horrible story with irreparable gaps.
