Over the past three weeks or so, I've got several visions of octopuses. To me they represent the damaged ways of this world, widespread evil, and schemes of the enemy. Not good. (Keep in mind that symbolic visions may mean different things to different people. God gives each person a vision, and an accompanying meaning, that they can understand.)
In this case, I felt that octopus represents widespread, pervasive doubt. This unbelief is dangerous. If the enemy has His way, doubt will be sent into our lives and constrict the Spirit's work in our lives. Let's not doubt! We have been truly set free by the Lord of freedom!
The sword of the Spirit is needed to cut off these areas of doubt. The tentacles of Satan's schemes need to be eliminated by belief in God's Word. We need to believe that He has overcome the world. Doubt wants to uproot the Spirit's words implanted in our heart. This implanted Word has the power to save our souls (James 1:21), and the enemy wants to steal it away.
Praise God that He gives us warnings about such things. The Spirit of truth will give us direction that keeps us safe and "not ignorant of his devices" (2 Corinthians 2:11). We can be wise about that which is good, and ready to war against things that would take us from God.
