The Hand Of The Lord.
My head was spinning like crazy and while my friends were talking over some drinks, i was fighting for my life. My head felt like it was being beaten by a hammer. I got up and decided to leave.' Oh, Amanda, where are you going? We just came. We've only had like a few drinks. Come on! Join us for more. It's not yet 12:00 am.' Cassie said.' I feel a bit dizzy and i think that i need to clear my head a bit. ' I replied. As i was going, some men tried to grab me but i shrugged them off. Why did i allow myself to be dragged to this bar? This specific bar my mom warned me of. And the friends! What a wasted life!!
I got into the car and drove home. When i got home, i freshened up and jumped to bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, i fell asleep. As i was sleeping, i felt someone tug at my arm and i got up. It was Cassie! She followed me home. Ugh! Can't i get enough peace and quiet for once?! But she looked a bit ..different. She had red eyes this time and horns. It scared me but i know how Cassie loves to dress up just to scare me so i didn't think much of this .'Let's go and have fun, drink and sleep around.. you know how pretty you are. Why waste yourself staying a virgin?' ' You know i am a Christian, i cannot do that.' I replied.
' But yet still you are still in the bar with a man on your lap! ' Then she laughs a horrific laugh. Just then i appear in a bar and a strange man on my lap. What the heck?! Cassie continues to force me to drink and she pours lots of different drinks in my mouth. It is so much that it starts to form a pool around me and drown me. I try to reach for Cassie's hand but she pushes them away from me and transforms into the most horrifying beast i have ever seen. I cry for help but no one is around. I think it is the end but i remember my mom's words. ' Call to the Lord in times of need and He will save you!' Just then i shout,' Lord, save me!' Just then, a mighty hand grabs my hand and lifts my hand with such force that pushes me out of my nightmare.
I wake up sweaty, with the bedsheet in my hands. At this moment, i thank God for saving me. I reflect on the dream and realize what God is trying to tell me. I look in the mirror and start to cry. I am wearing a dress with a long cleavage showing my perky breasts. I immediately cover them and change my clothes. I pray even more to God so i am saved from the clutches of Cassie's hand. God then shows me a verse in the Bible and i realize it was all my fault. I decided to approach Cassie against God's will and i have to deal with the consequences . After the night out, i didn't talk to Cassie again and till date, i don't know what has happened to her. But for me, God has opened doors for me. All the doors God closed for me, i didn't dare open them because of all the things i went through. Life has never been so good ever since i ran back to God.

Note: Thanks for reading and if you don't know Jesus, get the opportunity to know Him know till He comes. And if you already know Him, keep the faith till He comes. Remember to spread the Word and obey it.
