As I sat there listening to the song
“Where the light shines through” by Switchfoot, God gave me a view I had never
expected…
There he was in my minds eye. A man.
His head was bowed and his shoulders slumped, as if the weight of the entire
world was sitting on him. As I watched this man, I saw him raise his arms and
cry out. With the cry, the man lifted his hands as if in surrender and release
of everything he was carrying.
It didn’t take a second. I saw the
Holy Spirit jump like being released from a tight hold. The battle was epic,
immediate and heavy. It was over almost as soon as it had begun. The damage
left behind should have been more then crippling.
Yet…
I saw the man breath deeply and lift
his arms. As he lifted his arm a strange mysterious light was shining out of
him. In surprise he looked down at his body.
There was light shining out of him in several different places. It was as if every area in his life that had
been attacked by the evil lies was now shining with a strange, but declarative
truth.
The battle had done it’s job and done
it well. The lies, the fears, the anger,
the bitter pain, all of this gone as the Holy Spirit beamed truth, life, joy,
faith, freedom out of this man.
No longer was he a slave to anything
of this world, he knew beyond anything else that he had a freedom living inside
him.
His wounds is where the light shines
though!
