The other night I had a dream. I was sitting in a fast food restaurant and my son, Levi, was present with me. There were dark and demonic spirits present, black and floating, kind of like Dementors from the Harry Potter stories. These evil spirits were trying to infect my son in some way and I was fully aware of it. I said in my mind “I will fight to the death for my son.” As I did this, these spirits changed their focus from Levi to me. I felt a cold hand on my back, yet inside my back, gently pushing me forward. I will fight to the death for my son was still repeating in my mind. I was unaware of the exact aim of these creatures but I knew it was evil. I was allowing myself to be manipulated by them waiting for just the right moment to spring out and utterly destroy them all. I was not angry or filled with any king of rage, but it was love for my son that drove me. I was then awakened by Levi’s crying and did not get to finish the dream.
I must tell you that my heart was greatly strengthened. I knew that nothing can come against my son that I am not fully willing to and fully capable to defeat. I only regret I woke up before administering my wrath against these dark forms. My love for my son is greater than death, and the anthem has not left my heart that I will fight to the death for my son.
Now my thoughts are turned to Jesus. He is fully God and as such all of creation is His, He is the everlasting Father. The Father’s heart toward His sons (us) is “I will fight to the death for my son.” In Jesus He did just that. The cross is God fighting to the death for us to be fully liberated from the darkness. What a glorious message!! That our Father, at just the right moment, endured the sting of death to set us free and then rose from the grave proclaiming I will have you for Myself….See how great My love for you is.
