Sleepiness During the Day Could be God Trying to Speak to You!
By Doug Addison

I recently read Acts 10:10 and I noticed that Peter fell asleep during prayer and went into a trance and received revelation from God. Last week when I was speaking at a conference in South Africa the presence of angels came in the room and the crowd all got real sleepy. I am not really one to take naps during the day. A few years ago I was at a conference sitting on the front row and suddenly a wave of sleepiness hit me hard. I leaned my head back and drifted for just a few moments, and it lifted. I looked over at my friend sitting next to me and the same thing had happened to him. We concluded that when a woman sat down next to us who had been personally mentored by and ministered for years with Corrie ten Boom, (a minister who survived the Holocaust), the presence of God and ministering angles came with her. The anointing of God was so strong that it caused those sitting around her to experience a biblical trance which most thought was just sleepiness.

Yesterday I was about to buy a product on the internet. Then I got really sleepy all of a sudden, which seemed very unusual since I had just had a cup of tea. I lay down for just a few minutes and it lifted. All of a sudden I was struck with the idea to research the product further even though it was advertised on TV. I found a Web site that exposed it as a rip-off and that there are products available for a fraction of the price that work better. I am now more aware of the waves of unusual sleepiness that come suddenly. The next time you get hit with a wave of sleepiness that seems out of character, instead of getting a cup of coffee you may want to lay down for a minute. It could be God trying to speak to you!
