In the Dark of Night

Something very strange happened last night. The house was dark and all was quiet and I had fallen asleep.  Suddenly I awoke to a sense of something floating into my shoulder blades and through me.   But, then it was gone.  I had an uneasy feeling, but soon fell back to sleep.  Then I awoke again to something spiritually grabbing me from behind and wrapping me in something from head to toe.  I had a sinking feeling of going down.  Something was on my back, it was spiritual, but it felt strong, and it seemed as though it was trying to get inside me. It was apart, or part, of what was holding me in its grip.  Then, determined, I used all my strength and pushed my arms up and outward and pushed apart what was holding me, yelling at what was in back of me to "GET OUT!"   What gave me strength was the Hope that God has in my heart.  I was not going to lose it.  Then, whatever was there, was gone. 

I have no idea what it was that came in the night, or why.    We read in Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.    What was it that came last night?   I have felt the sensation of something passing through me before, but that was years ago.  

There is so much that we cannot understand. We cannot turn our eyes from the Lord, He is our Hope and our Strength.  Praise the Lord.  Come quickly, Lord.
