“… I would like to share with you a dream that was shared by Zigi Oblander in South Africa in the 1980’s telling of a real and vivid experience she had with the Sword of the Holy Spirit, to practically illustrate the principle of Union with Christ –
“… as I continued dreaming, I suddenly entered a place of total darkness.
It was the darkest place I have ever seen. I was surrounded by powerful demonic forces, and found myself in the middle of a severe battle for my life.
I fought as hard as I could, but it just seemed impossible to win, the battle got very hot and as I was fighting my sword was knocked out my hand.
For a moment I thought it was all over, I was exhausted, and now without a sword. Then suddenly I felt someone pull me through a door and rescue me into a room I never knew was there.
The room was the exact opposite of the darkness that I had just come from – It was a room filled with Pure Light!
As I looked around me, I could see row upon row of different kinds of weapons. I realized that I had been brought into Heaven’s armory room. The angel that had rescued me, stood next to me, and told me to choose a new weapon for myself before I would return to battle.
I walked down the many rows of swords, trying out one after another. Suddenly I saw a Sword that was different from all the others, it was a Sword of Fire! I walked over and wanted to pick it up, but as soon as I touched it, but it burned my hand and I instinctively let go!
I chose another weapon and a few moments later I was back in the darkness, fighting off the enemy.
This time the number of forces coming against me seemed to have doubled and was stronger than ever before. I fought all I could, but it was not long before I soon fell to my knees in exhaustion!
Again I was pulled back into the room of Light. I chose a new weapon, hoping that this would give the victory and went back to fight, only to be defeated again, and again!
After several attempts and failure and having found myself being rescued again. I finally walked back to the Sword of Fire. I knew that this would be the only Weapon that would be able to defeat the enemy and win the battle. I was determined not to leave it again!
As I took hold of it, the Fire began burning my hand with such an intensity that I almost thought I would not be able to keep holding it, but I just did!
Then something incredible happened! As the burning heat intensified in my hand, the Sword melted into my hand and became a part of my arm!
I prepared to step out of the room of Light into the darkness this time, ready to face the enemy! – This time I knew I had the victory!
When I stepped out of the room to face the darkness and the enemy once more – I found to my surprise, that there was no more darkness at all! The enemy had fled the field and there was no one to face!”
