Spiritual Warfare

As my walk with the LORD has been deepening, I have been feeling an abundance of spiritual warfare happening around me and around those I love. The other night a had a ‘dream’ of sorts that was very intense. I don’t know how to describe it except I was choked awake the other morning. After a night of multiple, uninteresting dreams, the last dream I remember vividly until the point of waking. In my dream, I was standing in my kitchen and I saw a small orb (larger than a tennis ball) come floating over to me. It was whiteish in appearance, not clear and not quite opaque. I saw it land on me as if from off to the side watching and also felt it at the same time. Once it landed on me, I began waking as I felt a pressure over my whole body and a choking sensation around my neck, in the physical. I felt this malevolence, this feeling of murder in the pressure enveloping me, I knew whatever this was wanted to kill me. As I lay there in the twilight state between dream and fully awake, I wasn’t afraid at all, but I knew I needed to call out for Jesus. I tried to form the words in the physical but it was difficult as my mouth was dry. I attempted to say the name of Jesus and as I did the choking sensation became stronger. I attempted another one, maybe two times, and I finally said ‘Jesus’ in a calm voice. And I felt the pressure leave me immediately. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Has anyone else been experiencing an increase of spiritual attacks as well?
