We have a new worship pastor at church, and he brought this song with him. I only listen to Spotify so I have no idea what is played these days on the radio so I’m guessing this song isn’t new to you guys, but it was to me.
He sang this song his first Sunday after saying that he listened to this song on repeat during a recent battle he went through. He didn’t share details. Just went straight into this song. I fought tears during the song and well into the sermon. I don’t know his story, yet, but I can tell he has been through some things and is now living in victory. He is absolutely anointed and the church WORSHIPS. Not just sings but worships.
He played it again two Sunday’s ago and this time I couldn’t hold the tears back. Although I have incredible peace about resigning and moving into the next thing, I continue to be overwhelmed and grateful for where I am. Not only that but all these conversations with kids who have either turned to Satan or are very much into things they don’t realize, yet, are Satanic. They just keep coming.
I had said, “No more ministry. No more social work.” I can just hear the conversation that must have happened in Heaven. “Hey, watch this. I’m going to show her kids who have turned to Satan for help. That will get her attention again!” Well…it sure did!
They are who I was thinking about while the worship pastor sang this song again. I have been praying, researching, reading and listening to podcasts about people who have escaped Satanism and are now Christians. Most of what they say, I have heard from kids and adults, and it’s been very jarring. I realized something, though. The battle I am engaged in for these kids and adults has ALREADY BEEN WON. I just need to pray about what God wants me to do and then do it. Let Him lead the counseling sessions and watch Him bring healing because I’m helping them fight a battle that has already been won.
I grew up Baptist. Spiritual warfare was talked about but not at length and we sure didn’t learn about ALL that Jesus rescued us from. When you listen to what people experienced under Satanic Ritual Abuse you start to get a better understanding of what the Cross really means. What the blood of Jesus really means. The POWER the blood has and the POWER that WE have because of that blood. Yes, we are all “wretched sinners in need of a Savior” but that’s not all that we need salvation from. We are saved from horrendous things that most of us will never see. It’s a RESCUE MISSION and we have been RESCUED. These kids need rescuing, too!
I was FATIGUED all weekend. Slept 17 hours straight and then went back to bed for a few more days. Zero strength. I even took 2 COVID tests that both turned out to be negative. I woke up with this song in my head, so I played it on repeat while I slept. It’s been playing on repeat today as well.
All through this adventure, God has given me songs that go with each step I take. It’s no surprise that this song came into my life at this time. I’m ready to start this new adventure!
