Nightmare in the night before my birthday

I woke up from my sleep at close to 6am coz I had a bad dream.

I dreamt that I was walking around Blk 94C (my old flat at Bedok North Ave 4) & I suddenly began to be able to see evil spirits moving around. They were everywhere, everywhere I looked! And I tell u, it is true! Its not just a dream!

When I was standing at the big open space at the centre of the block, I saw evil spirits walking around that area. When I looked up, I saw evil spirits moving along the corridor of the 1st floor. When I looked around me, I saw evil spirits walking all around the whole void deck!

They had long curly dark hair that draped from their shoulders & their faces were grey & scary. Some had a scowl on their face; some were just walking around; others were also walking around but with their arms outstretched.

I believe it wasn't just a dream because this can be real in life... just whether we are able to see them or not. I woke up wondering why I could see ghosts & suddenly became afraid that I might actually see them in real life. Afterall, I do know of an ex-colleague who used to be able to see such things.

I started to sing a medley of Christian songs & slowly those words changed to become my own words of prayer! I began singing prayers to God! Then I started saying the sinner's prayer which I remembered from Reinhard Bonke's VCD titled 'Raised From The Dead'. Then I got up to play the last part of Pastor Joseph Prince's audio sermon.

Surprisingly, in that short 30mins remaining of that 1.5 hrs sermon, several points began to speak to me. I started to send online SMS of short sentences to my own handphone, for future reference & reminder.

When Pastor Joseph Prince began to say the sinner's prayer at the end of his sermon, I suddenly began to tear. It lasted abt 3 seconds, then it stopped leaving me wondering what went on. But I knew all these happened 4 a reason & it was all planned by God.

Thinking back, I was reminded that God still cares very much for me & my needs. It didn't really come to my attention that when I lost my job, it was already the end of August & nearing my birthday. God helped me to get through more than 2 weeks of my life with only $200+. He also gave me discounted movie vouchers which I bought earlier this year. Then He showed me that I had another 3 free VideoEzy vouchers that was just sufficient to borrow & watch the complete Smallville DVD series of season 3!

Then just as my savings went below $100 (which means I only spent $100+ in more than 2 weeks), my pay cheque came in! Then a week after, it was my birthday & I got another $250 from my parents, grandma & aunty! Furthermore, Sean is treating me dinner tonight & my SIM frens are going to treat me dinner on Wed night! I began to see God's hand providing for my financial needs, in terms of dinner & even after He has given me my pay cheque & birthday red packets!

I'm just so amazed at this gracious God! Like what Pastor Joseph Prince said in his sermon, "God never said 'Eh, why you take so much fr me? You think My power grow on trees ah?" Its a typical Singaporean remark similar to "Eh, you think money grow on trees ah!" And I remembered that when I said the prayer along with Pastor Prince's sermon, that exact moment it just suddenly began to rain. Suddenly!

After a few mins, it stopped. I was stunned & took it as a sign of God's shower of blessing on me. Thank You, God! =)
