So, I started praying intensely that God will take it away. I searched for scriptures on lust and used it to pray for God’s help. I would fight in the dream to remind myself about those words I had learnt during the day. I also prayed that God would help me remember my identity as a female.
During the day whenever my mind wandered to those dreams, I would have to wash in the word and remind myself of the truth. I would read my Bible and repeat what God’s word says about lust. I also listened to the audio Bible with earphones to quench the dirty feelings I had. It was a fierce battle on lust.
By 2022, I had learnt in some way to battle the issue much better, but, still, whenever the battles came, I would complain, catch myself and then repent. I wondered many times, “Why won’t God just take this problem away?” I tried to trust, but it was hard. It was a huge battle of both good and bad dreams throughout the night.
Even though it got tiring, I tried to obey my shepherd and keep fighting the good fight of faith.
One random day in December 2022, my deliverance came. The method, however, was unconventional. I was listening to a Sunday message on YouTube, and heard Pastor say prophetically as he was preaching, “… The reason you keep having those dreams is because you will not play godly songs. Play our God’s Lighthouse’s songs, it will create a better atmosphere where God can dwell.”
I was surprised! Songs? So all I had to do was play songs? I could not believe it; but, because I had seen God work in strange and beautiful ways, and because we are taught to obey despite what we think and feel, I started my song playing journey. I got over fifty (50) of our songs and made a playlist. I called it, “My GLH Top Fifty (50) Nighttime Songs”.
To be continued …
