I looked for this as I thought maybe I had already written it up, but cannot find it. So I guess I did not write it. I really need to go to bed, but I know if I put this off, I will probably forget it and not write it. I truly do wish to tell this testimony of a mighty deliverance, by using the name of JESUS.

Several years ago God gave me a dream. In the dream I was walking in a field. I touched a bush and all at once, as if they had a life of their own, briars just wrapped around me, from head to toe. I could not move and had no hope of getting free.

The next day I went for a walk behind the place where I had once lived, just below where Larry lives now. I came to place which seemed to be over-run with bushes. As I touched a bush, briars did exactly as I had dreamed. All in one single move they had me wrapped up from head to toe. It was horrifying and terrifying. I could not move. There was no one for miles around. It would have been impossible for anyone to hear me or find me. No one knew where I was.

As I began to try to loosen some of them, they just wrapped around me more. The more I tried to move and loosen some of them the tighter they wrapped around me. I was truly terrified.

In the dream I had called out to Jesus and the briars just fell off me. I remembered this now and knew this is exactly that dream, come true. So I called out to Jesus…just his name. I said, Jesus, please help me.

As God is my witness, those briars just fell off me, all at once, as if they had a life and mind of their own. They turned me loose just as suddenly as they had imprisoned me. It was a very astonishing miracle and mighty deliverance, by the mighty power of Jesus Christ.

No other power on earth could have done this miracle. It had to be a miracle of the Mighty God. I was so trilled by this miracle that I was just rejoicing and praising my God all day.

I just wanted to give this mighty testimony tonight, while I have it on my mind. I truly wish to hear some other testimonies of the delivering power of God in your lives.
