Establishing God’s Jurisdiction Over the Night
Are Demons Using Your Dreams Against You?
Troy Brewer
The enemy is a legalist. He operates according to contracts, permissions, and boundaries. That’s why what we speak—and how consistently we speak it—matters.
When you pray a contractual prayer, dedicating your space and the night to the Lord and to the Kingdom of Light, you are establishing jurisdiction. You are declaring that the kingdom of darkness has no authority and no access within that space—especially your bedroom, where the mind rests and the soul is most vulnerable.
After establishing that boundary, you can ask God specifically for the kind of dreams you desire. I do this with my children. I pray, “Lord, give my children dreams of Jesus. Give them dreams of heaven.” And God honors that.
This isn’t something to pray only during dark seasons or when nightmares arise. This is something to pray every night. Consistency is what establishes jurisdiction. Over time, it forms a spiritual boundary that the enemy cannot cross.
We see this again and again. People who have been tormented by disturbing or oppressive dreams often experience a shift almost immediately. Sometimes it happens the very first night. Other times, within two or three days, the dreamscape is cleansed. Once that happens, God begins speaking clearly through dreams again.
The night belongs to the Lord. When you dedicate it to Him, peace replaces torment, clarity replaces confusion, and rest becomes truly restorative.

Nightly Prayer of Dedication
Father God,
I come to You in the name of Jesus. I give You this night, this room, and this time of rest.
I place this space under the authority of Jesus Christ. I declare that this bedroom and this night belong to the Kingdom of Light. The kingdom of darkness has no access, no permission, and no jurisdiction here.
I bind every spirit of fear, confusion, torment, and disturbance. You are not allowed to operate in my sleep or in my dreams. This space is covered by the peace and protection of God.
Holy Spirit, I welcome You.
Guard my mind. Quiet my thoughts. Restore my soul as I rest.
Father, I ask for dreams that come from You— dreams of Jesus,
dreams of heaven, dreams that bring wisdom, direction, and understanding, dreams that build confidence and strengthen my faith.
If You speak, help me receive clearly. If You give no dreams, I trust You for deep, peaceful rest.
I receive Your peace now. My sleep is sweet. My rest is protected. This night is Yours.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
