James has never had a nightmare since he was born sixteen years ago. One day, James returned from school. He met his mother cooking in the kitchen.

“Good afternoon Ma. I hope everything is fine with you. I can see you doing house chores, Weldon Ma." James greeted his mother.

Madam Grace, James’s mother, responded.
“Yes, my son. I am fine. Even though I have prepared your lunch. Go and remove your school uniform before eating your meal. Thereafter, you will do your school assignment.”

“Mummy, I am too tired. To tell you the truth, I am not feeling fine.” James said.

James’s mother panics. “Ah! What has happened to my son?”

That was how she started checking his temperature. Later, she told James to eat before going to hospital for proper medication. While in the hospital, he just realized that multitudes were chasing him without reason but they couldn't catch him because he was able to fly in the air and suddenly one tall appeared with a long sword to rescue him. Then, he woke up and saw himself on the hospital bed.

James was terrified.
Hey Mummy! Come and hear what just happened to me now. Many people were chasing me, but they could not catch me because I had power to fly on air while those people who were after me remained on the ground. Suddenly one tall man with a long sword appeared to rescue me. Who were those people? Why are they chasing me up and down? And what was my offence? They were seriously after me.

Hmmm, it was just a nightmare. Don't be afraid. God will not allow bad things to happen to us. You know you are not feeling fine, that is the reason why you experienced it. Said James' mother.

James argued further.
Really, are you sure? because they were with different weapons. And I was flying. I don't know that, I will be able to fly in the air like that. Mummy, How did I get such power?

“You know that you are God’s child and you are precious to him. He will never allow evil things to happen to you. God loves children so much and he will do anything to protect them. There is nothing much. Remain calm., God is still in the battle and he will fight for us, my son.” James' mother replied.

Mummy, can I still fly like that again? And who was that man who came to rescue me from them? James asked.

She said that you were in a spiritual realm where no member of your family can be, except God and angels that can save beloved ones from danger. You can still fly during the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ if you are genuinely born again and carry his cross.

“Hmm, mummy. I am lost here. I don't understand. Elaborate it Ma. because how can I carry someone cross. What is my business about anyone?” James asked further.

“Yes, she replied that anyone who ever jettisoned the sin and believed in him. He will be able to fly on the day of resurrection. And the man that came to rescue you, it was the guidance angel God sent to rescue you. In every situation we are, God is there. God will do something to help if we allow him in our lives.”

Mummy, the reason why I ask the question is that I would like to narrate what I saw in my nightmare with my best friend in school. Said James.

James' mother replied.
Alright, but not all the things that are happening to you will be shared with your friends because they may not fill with the holy spirit to understand it. Only a spiritual person will understand. Meanwhile, you are still in the hospital. Let us focus on your well being first. Please son, relax and allow God to take control of your life. When we get home. Ask whatever question you intend to ask when we get home because I will not entertain more questions from you when you are still in the hospital bed again.

“Okay Ma, I am fine. God, the great healer has healed me. Let us go home.” James responded.

James' mother was furious.
“ says who? Are you in the best position to tell me that you are ok? Let the doctor tell me that you are free to go home, not you.”

The following day, James was discharged from hospital and he was happy to have Madam Grace as a mother.
