Faith Blatchford - Winning the Battle for the Night: Gods Plan for Sleep, Dreams and Revelation

Faith Blatchfords Winning the Battle for the Night is wonderfully practical, brilliantly insightful and sure to inspire the reader to reconnect with Gods purpose for sleepcommunion and rest. Our capacity to fellowship with God is sometimes stronger in the night than in the day, when we often have so many distractions. He longs to communicate with us through the dream realm. He deposits things in our hearts and minds while we sleep that we wouldnt be able to process while awake. We can position ourselves for this, as a yielded imagination becomes a sanctified imagination, and a sanctified imagination is positioned for visions and dreams. This is for everyone!

I love this book. Ive read many books on dreams, but Faith Blatchfords story and unique insights caught me up in wonder and ignited hunger to be saturated in the last-days language of the Holy Spirit. This book will provoke you to take the dream seriously and act on it. In so doing you will become a shaper of history. Ive been in the dream stream for years, but this book put a further hook in my heart. I can no longer say, It was just a dream. It was the roar of the Lord! Read it and find your night wings.

Wow! Insightful, helpful, a joy to read. While Ive read books on dream interpretation, I have not come across one that helps remove the barriers to dreaming. Faith explores the hindrances that keep us from communing with God in the night hours. What a great read.

Reading this has reminded me of the importance of adequate sleep and rest from both a biblical and a medical perspective. This excellent scholarly work integrates key Scriptures with evidence-based medical practice to address sleep and rest deprivation. Anyone desiring to put into practice the truths found within the pages of this book will find a deeper, richer meaning with which to live their lives.

Winning the Battle for the Night will bring a fresh confidence in Gods design for sleep and dreams and challenge you to contend for more!
