A prominent conservative figure recently publicized a dream in which he was pushed or compelled to go down a hallway. This one aspect of his dream rolled over and over in my mind.
Spiritually speaking, a hallway often symbolizes transition.

With that thought in mind, we realize that the Enemy is attempting to push us into a place we do not want to go. A place of compromise. A place of fear and hopelessness. It is his plan that we, as a majority, embrace the world’s system and beliefs; that we begin to accept and even embrace same-sex marriage, legal abortions, gender confusion, and exploitation of children and adults. That is his plan.
Could it be that God also has a plan? Does God have a part in this hallway of transition?
Transition is defined as the process or period of changing from one state or condition to another: a change or shift from one state, subject, or place, to another.
After pondering this video and the related dream for a few days, I had to wonder: Is God allowing us to be pushed into a place of transition — a place where we must make a choice about whom we will serve; a place where we are forced to choose whether we will cower down in fear and surrender to the Enemy, or instead embrace divine courage, rise up, and push back? As with a natural hallway, a hallway of transition may present many doors to choose from. It is up to us which door we will choose to walk through.
In Deuteronomy 30:15, God set before us life and death; blessing and adversity — the choice has been ours from the beginning. The day of decision often demands an answer in the hallway of transition. How many testimonies have we heard of people crying out to God when they find themselves in a difficult place — a place they did not choose to be in — a forced place of transition? It is often in these places that we urgently cry out to God for His will and His ways. It is also in this place that breakthrough is often seen.
Joshua told the Israelites: “And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (Joshua 24:15).
While most everyone reading this today is a Christian, many have not made a firm decision about whom they will serve. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision” (Joel 3:14 NIV). That day is here now.
We all hear Christians saying things like: “A woman has a right to choose an abortion; it’s her choice.” Or “We have to accept same-sex marriage; it’s the law now.” Or “It doesn’t matter if we speak up about politics, nothing is ever going to change.”
These words exemplify the decision that has already been made in the heart of the person. But how do any born-again Christians come to embrace such beliefs? By giving that worldview more focus than they give to God’s word.
Job said, “My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside” (Job 23:11 NIV). We must do the same thing: closely follow the ways of God, refusing to turn aside to the ways of the world.
A shift has taken place, and we must decide which side of the line we are standing on. It is time to choose. If we choose anything less than God’s way and God’s word, we are not choosing life — not for ourselves, and not for our nation.
Of this one thing I am assured: Nothing has taken God by surprise. If God has allowed us to be ushered into a hallway of transition, then He has already secured the victory for us, just as He has promised.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). My friend, may we give thanks for the faithfulness of God that is shining forth in the very midst of the Enemy’s evil. May we give thanks for His light that is beaming brightly in the hallway of transition.
