Jesus Christ- the name that saves!!

I had a dream last night. One of my youth was making a speech when another kid was pulled out of the area by a dark "Thing". People assumed that it was a person; someone among us. I got the sense that it was a demon. Everyone began to search for it- Tim Wintonuw, my friend Robyn, Pastor Harold..random people from my life. They were all searching for a person. Me and David were holding on to some wires from a computer or machine, just because being in that place was scary. Suddenly everyone in the room started to come at the wires we were holding, like zombies with their expressions blank, moaning really low. They grabbed the wires and started to eat them. Inside their mouths was a darkness. I knew that was the demon. As you ate the wires it clogged your mouth so you couldn't speak or breathe. I closed my mouth tight because I didn't want to eat the wires, and then I suddenly started shouting, "Jesus Christ" "Jesus Christ" and my mouth was open and I could speak clearly, let go of the wires and I started to shout to everyone, "SAY JESUS' NAME! JESUS CHRIST!" I continued doing this until everyone in that room had been free from the wire eating demon, then ran to another room. "Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ!" I said it over and over and over again, it was all I could say. Once everyone was free, they started to go about as normal, but I couldn't stop saying "Jesus Christ!" to everyone, even people I usually would care about what they thought. I was filled with so so so much joy that I couldn't stop. Everytime I said His name I'd fly up into the sky a little bit. It was like the name "Jesus Christ" just needed to be spoken out- that if people would only hear the name of Jesus they could be saved!!
I'm starting to meditate on the Jesus prayer, "Jesus Christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner" in my daily life...We really don't know the full power His name holds!!!

Thank you Jesus for such an amazing dream!!!
