“It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him. (Daniel 2:22)
We used to host a Praise and worship night at our home every Wednesday evening, then it grew to Wednesday and Friday, then Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday …
Anyway, one evening, as the Praise and Worship flew, a new lady to the group stood up and quite innocently asked us all to pray for her to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. As we all gathered around her and laid on hands, I suddenly heard myself stupidly blurt out, “You’ve been raped…!” Everyone’s eyes suddenly shot open, and as my wife gave me a look that would have felled a charging bear at 50 feet, I gulped and squeaked, “…Twice!”
It turned out that the poor lady had, in fact, been abused by both her father and her brother in a cellar at her home. Many (many) tears and countless tissues later, she thanked us and told us that she felt much better – but I felt uneasy …!
Ignoring my wife’s narrowed-eye look of warning, I quickly took her by the hand and asked her to close her eyes and see the path to the cellar door. She struggled at first, but after some encouragement from me, she closed her eyes, and after a few moments, she relaxed into an almost faint. Recovering, she shouted, “Jesus met me at the cellar door! There was bright light everywhere. He took me by the hand and showed me that nothing down there could harm me anymore! I AM FINALLY FREE!”
As you can imagine, this was followed by more tears, snot, and oodles of tissues. After promising my wife that I’d try to keep my mouth shut in the future, we went back to Praising the Lord.
As usual, I've asked the Lord what He wants to say to you, and I believe He led me to Psalm 139:12.
Even the darkness is not dark to You and conceals nothing from You, But the night shines as bright as the day; Darkness and light are alike to You.
“Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. Christ-conquerors are safe from Devil-death.” (Rev 2:11)
