Why Am I Always Chased Or Defeated In My Dreams

Time and time again, I would receive emails from folks that find it so confusing as to why they are always running from someone or something in their dreams.

Amazingly this question is more predominantly asked by Christians. The reasoning behind their inquiry is that if they're believers of Jesus Christ, then why is it that they're always being chased or defeated in their dreams and not the other way around. Well, Like I have mentioned in so many of my articles on dreams. Our dreams reveal revelations to the mysteries' root causes of what's happening in our everyday lives.

If you are experiencing dreams where you are always being defeated, failing at a particular task, being chased by animals, people or monsters, etc. Then your dreams could be revealing one of two of the following, if not both. The dream could be indicating a spirit of fear or showing you're spiritually weak.

You see, my friend, most folks are under the grand illusion that because they wear the title of Christians or attend church regularly. The devil and his agents are no match for them; of course, nothing can be further from the truth. Before I proceed with this revelation, let me say that Satan's greatest weapon against the human race outside of keeping us away from knowledge is to always cause us as humans to focus primarily on the natural things of this world as the source of our problems. At the same time, he runs unchallenged and unabated, manipulating us spiritually.

If you are always defeated, chased, or attacked in your dreams, your dreams reveal that you are weak spiritually! Let's see what scripture has to say about this, "If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small" Proverbs 24:10. As a reminder, your dreams reveal things from their origin, and the source of all things is spiritual. Therefore, seeing yourself in your dream indicates the spirit part of your being and not the physical you. Again, the material part of your being is asleep in a bed, chair, couch, etc.

On the other hand, whatever it is that's chasing or defeating you in your dreams, they are also spirits, more specifically evil spirits. Being spiritually weak would indicate that the dreamer is not feeding their spirit spiritual food, which is God's Holy Word. Do you recall what Jesus said about his words? He said, "The words (the word of God) that I speak, they are SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE," John 6:63. Another scripture that lends to this understanding when it said, "Man should not live by (physical) bread alone but by every word (spiritual food) that proceeded out of the mouth of God" Matthew 4:4.

In essence, whether it's written or preached, the word of God feeds the human spirit of those that would take the time to read or hear it. Many carry the title Christian, but they are spiritually malnourished. Some of the physical signs of a person who encounters such dreams would be that they rarely succeed in reality. For the Christian, they would always notice that non-believers accomplish more and achieve more than they do. Again these are tell-tale signs that the dreamer's spirit is depleted of spiritual food.

Consequently, for others that have such dreams but are not spiritually weak, then for them, their dream is revealing that they are either oppressed or possessed by the spirit of fear! In reality, such folks live unhealthy lives because they never really enjoy their lives because their lives are consumed by fear. Every time they speak, it's always in the tune of caution, be careful, or they're afraid to do this or that, etc. Amazingly, their dream, which is revealing fear, is also exposing some flaws in their Christianity. Again, let's review scripture or what I refer to as spiritual law to clarify my assertion. "The wicked flee when no man pursues him: but the righteous are bold as a lion" Proverbs 28:1. The second portion of the mentioned scripture clearly says that the "RIGHTEOUS" are "BOLD" as a lion. Well, we do know that to be bold is to be fearless. If the Christian dreamer considers themselves righteous, then why are they always running from and not boldly confronting and defeating whom or whatever is chasing them in their dreams. Is it that they are not as righteous as they claim. In fact, the first portion of that same scripture unequivocally says, the "WICKED FLEE even when no one is pursuing him."

 I strongly recommend for those that are weak in spiritual strength to please feed on the word of God. During my teachings, I usually suggest for those that do not like to read to purchase the bible on CD and reduce it to a low volume when you go to bed at night so that it can not only feed your spirit while you're asleep but also aid you in your dream warfare. For those of you that can identify with the spirit of fear making a mess of your life. I also suggest you do a two day fast asking God to destroy all known or unknown covenants that have been forged with the spirit of fear that would have taken place in either your childhood, a life-changing event in your adulthood, or via your dreams.

In any event, these dreams must be challenged, rebuked, and canceled whenever they occur.
