Spiritual attack in dream?

Support

Hi everyone,

I have recently been growing closer in my faith with God. Today, I spent time in prayer over something weighing on my heart and I just gave it up to God, asking His will be done and to help me to trust Him in all ways. After a long, very heart felt prayer, I fell asleep. I have had sleep paralysis before, but never saw anything. I always called on Jesus during those times and woke up. This time, I felt something pulling me down on both sides of my neck, in my dream, when I opened my eyes, I saw what I felt were evil things moving. I called on God, I rebuked this evil in the name of Jesus Christ. I told the devil he is going to lose, as it is written in the Bible. God is more powerful. I remained in the dream for a bit, I even asked God to send an angel to fight for me (this dream was so, intensely terrifying.) I even felt like I was floating. Eventually, I was pulled out of it and woke up.

I called my dad, we talked, he prayed for me, and I read Psalm 91 out loud. While I was reading, my light began to flicker. I read it louder, and then read it a second time for good measure. Light flickered. Now it isn't, although yes this lamp does flick time to time so it's not like it has never ever flickered before, I just found the timing interesting..

I'm saying all this to ask for your advice, for scripture I can read, for insights and your experiences. I feel like a nut, but my gut tells me this was spiritual warfare. What can you tell me about your experience, what helped you, and any insight into my own experience?

Thank you so much in advance.
