I just felt the need to get on my knees before God tonight and enjoy His presence. I was "turning on" on my fireplace and the song "Start a Fire" came to mind. That is truly my prayer, for God to start a fire in my soul. One that nothing can put out. I want it to consume everything in me that is not of God. I want the "fire" to be so fierce that it sparks a "fire" in the lives of everyone I come in contact with.
I was in a doctor's office about a month or so ago and I heard a song playing from a lady's iPod. Yes, usually I would be irritated but I heard these words, "Right now, your blood sets the addict free". Of course, I perked up at that moment because I wanted to hear more of the song.
It went on to say, right now, your blood takes away the curse. I had to really focus to hear what the song was saying. I desperately wanted to know what song she was listening to and the only thing I could remember was the words "right now". Well, try finding that song. I had no luck. I had since forgotten about that day.
Tonight as I was looking for worship songs. I found a song that was a little over 10 minutes long titled, "Still Believe" by Kim Walker-Smith and not 30 seconds in to the song...the words...right now, your blood sets the addict free were sung. Up until about 7 years ago, the word addict hadn't crossed my mind because my brother had been set free. It wasn't until I was looking at the love of my life slowly kill himself that the word "addict" became much a reality. Sometimes I forget that God is the God of ALL. His blood was shed for us. His blood was shed to heal us. Heal us from our sickness. Heal us from our addiction. His blood was shed to save us and give us life. I had faith years ago that God would cure my mother from cancer. I had faith that He would heal my dad of cancer but for some reason I struggled to believe that He could or even would heal my love from His addiction.
But I know, my God, is the great healer and He can and will heal!! In Jesus Name...
