I suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and would wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares, often with panic attacks that had me grasping for air. Sometimes, I was awakened by my own screaming from the nightmare.

I was put on medication prescribed for those nightmares which helped lessened their frequency, but never fully removed them.

I used various Christian methods to fight my nightmares. They worked for a very short time but soon the nightmares would resurface. I read all of Pastor Prince's books and the daily devotionals, as well as listened to many of his sermons. But I kept hearing a voice that told me that God’s forgiveness, righteousness and blessings did not apply to me. So I did not receive any of those breakthroughs others had testified of.

One night, after a nightmare and panic attack, I remembered Pastor Prince's teaching that God did not give us diseases or fear to discipline us or change us.

As soon as I had that revelation, the panic attack subsided immediately unlike before, even though I had not begun “fighting” it yet. After this experience, the nightmares associated with panic attacks lessened considerably although they would come back occasionally as I held on to the truth that they were not from God.

It was like the fig tree Jesus had cursed. The roots had actually withered as soon as Jesus spoke the words, but the manifestation was delayed. That was my situation.

When I met Pastor Prince at his book signing session in November, I asked him to pray for me. However, I did not ask him to pray for me to be freed from my nightmares and the panic attacks. I thought that God had already delivered me of them and there was no point to ask Pastor Prince to pray about them.

Three nights after Pastor Prince prayed with me, I experienced one of the worst nightmares I’d ever had. Then, I heard a voice inside me telling me that I was doing the fighting and was trying very hard to overcome them on my own. Right then, I decided to stop fighting and let Jesus do the work as I rested in Him should the nightmares occur again. Well, I’ve had no nightmares or any associated panic attacks ever since that night. Praise the Lord!
