"barking dogs"
A
Dove (was it you, Elisabeth?) recently spoke of the spiritual attack
of dogs barking non-stop. I hear your pain.
I
LOVE animals ~ and esp. dogs!!
But
Grrr -- when the barking is non-stop like that, it can be maddening.
We
once had a Lab living behind us; I felt like part of the reason it barked
was out of sheer boredom (the owners NEVER played with it, petted it, or
loved it) but merely kept it on a chain & fed it once a day.
{My own not-so-humble opinion is why even have a pet if it's not viewed
as a gift from God -- and a JOY to love & receive love from.}
Anyway,
I noticed from the time it was a pup -- till it was full grown, that there
was definitely a "connection" how it would bark, bark, BARK (GRRR
~ never shut up!) all night long -- and most ESP. when the moon
was full!! I hate to admit it, but there were times we
called the cops out at 2 in the morning, cuz we could not sleep, and I
thought -- they could at least put it in their garage so the neighbors
could get some rest. I'm sure I wasn't the most popular neighbor
by doing that; was only hoping the lady would learn to take care of the
dog & keep our neighborhood somewhat peaceful.
Lo
& behold, the lady eventually started leaving her porch light on at
night -- and this some how HELPED the dog -- esp. when the moon was extra
bright -- to calm down & STOP ALL THAT BARKING all night long!!!!!!
I
cannot begin to explain why that was, but all I can tell you is that it
DID help! Then over time, as she'd get busy, she would neglect
to turn her light on -- in which case, I turned mine on!!!
And left it on all night. The dog would still bark for a lil'
while, but would calm down & not keep it up all night.
It
may be worth a try!!
Got
to admit -- heh, there were times I thought of getting a SUPER BRIGHT work
light & aiming it in the neighbor's direction every night just to get
that dog to hush!!
Anyway,
I agree that even these type of things can be spiritual attacks.
I'm having a similar experience to Chevy Chase in "Funny Farm" ~ moved
to a woodsy area, a pond nearby, trees chocked full of birds -- SOOOOO
enjoyable at first, till one morning I woke up & thought MAN (whine!!)
can't the birds sing ANY OTHER SONG than that SAME clink-clink cluckle
they do all day long!!!??
LOL.....
Funny
thing is ~ right now, they are STRANGELY **QUIET**
Hmmmm......
RAPTURE SOON!!!!!!!!! <---- I believe this with all of my
heart!! Maranatha!
:)
Looking up!!
Jesus
is coming *SOON*!!
Are
you ready? Luke 21:36
