In my early years as a Spiritual Warfare Strategist I had lots of people come to me with a condition known as ‘eating in the dream‘.

People who suffered from that condition always experienced setbacks, delays, disappointments and various adverse situations as after they ate in the dream. It was traumatic for them because of the belief that demons were using food as a means of frustrating their Divine destiny. It was a real torment for them. In fact many dreaded bedtime and thus suffered from other health issues as a result of anxiety and sleeplessness.

We prayed, fasted, bound and cast out demons to no avail. I just always met a blank wall in helping them. Nothing seemed to work, until one day, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to this scripture:
“For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer” ( 1 Timothy 4:5-5).

That did it! I caught the revelation! Food in the dream is good. It is from GOD! The prayer of thanksgiving sets it apart, it makes it holy!

Prior to that, on waking up after eating in the dream, some of them would engage in spiritual warfare declaring:
“I reject it, it is not my portion“.
So, I had to re-train them to no longer ‘reject it’ but instead to see it as GOD revealing to them the tables HE prepared for them in the presence of their enemies and to therefore accept it with thanksgiving and pray it forward into their realities.

Instead of focusing on the devil and his demons and engaging in fear-centered spiritual warfare, they started praying from a position of faith and victory.
Their focus changed from satan and his demons to GOD from whom all good and perfect gifts comes. And they thanked HIM for the wonderful gifts prepared for them in the spirit realm. They also prayed that HE fills their mouths with good things in the real world as well.
You guessed it! That effectively dealt with the condition. Eating in the dream stopped for all who followed the revelation.

Dear friend, a gratitude mental attitude effectively outwits the devil and his demons. It places you at an advantage over them. a

It superimposes GOD’s blessings over satan’s evil projections against you.

Thanksgiving is an act of faith in GOD and GOD will always show HIMSELF strong on your behalf.

Therefore, if you are facing an unrelenting challenge, engage in praise warfare. Ignore the devil and focus on GOD. HE will enlighten the eyes of your understanding and you will overcome and move on to another level of faith. Shalom! Shalom!-
