I HAD ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL DREAMS I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME, ILL TRY AND MAKE THIS SHORT AND SWEET!!  SO THE DREAM STARTS OFF WITH ME IN THE WOODS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NOWERE THIS HUGE MONSTER STARTS CHASING ME.  DID I MENTION THIS MONSTER WAS HUGE!!  BUT THE INTERESTING THING IS THE MONSTER HAD SOME OF THE QUALITIES AND ATTRIBUTES I HAD, WHICH WAS VERY STRANGE.  AS IM RUNNING FROM THE MONSTER I GET EXTREMELY TIRED AND STOP TO CATCH MY BREATH, ONLY TO FIND OUT EACH TIME I STOPPED MY FATIGUE GOT WORSE.  THEN AS I BEGAN TO RUN AGAIN I SEE MY HOUSE IN THE DISTANCE, SO I TAKE OFF FULL SPRINT IN THAT DIRECTION.  AS I GET CLOSER TO MY HOUSE THE MONSTER STARTS GAINING GROUND ON ME,  I BARELY GET IN THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE WITHOUT IT CATCHING UP TO ME!  I RUN UP STAIRS TO SEARCH FOR A WEAPON, FOR SOME REASON I GRAB A FIRE POKER (WHICH IS NOT THE IDEAL WEAPON OF CHOICE WHEN YOUR FIGHTING A MONSTER) AND AS IM LEAVING MY ROOM THE MONSTER KICKS IN MY FRONT DOOR AND BEGANS CHASING ME AROUND MY HOUSE.  ALL THE WHILE I FEEL LIKE IM LITERALLY DIEING FROM EXHAUSTION UNTIL FINALLY THE MONSTER STANDS ON THE TOP OF MY STAIRS AND JUMPS DOWN LIKE A WRESTLER OFF THE TOP ROPES!! IN FEAR I FALL DOWN BUT THE FIRE POKER STANDS STRAIGHT UP AND THE MONSTER LANDS DIRECTLY ON IT KILLING HIM!! AS SOON AS THE MONSTER DIED I FELT RE-ENERGIZED, ALMOST BRAND NEW!!  THEN GOD SPOKE TO ME AND SAID THE LONGER I RUN FROM THE MONSTER INSIDE OF ME, THE MORE HARM I DO TO MYSELF.  KILL THE MONSTER SO YOU CAN LIVE, OR TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE SIMPLE, DIE TO YOURSELF SO YOU CAN LIVE!!

1 CORINTHIANS 15:31  I die every day--I mean that, brothers--just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
