Inner healing is like a hand reaching down into a deep and narrow crevice and pulling an embedded thorn out of hardened fleshy tissue. That thorn was a living memory of an indescribable hurt that continued to pierce me.
Such was mine when I came to the Horizon prayer team for prayer and healing. I cannot precisely comprehend all of the transcendent power of their prayers and their anointing upon me except that in those suspended moments of prayer the Holy Spirit reached in and brought the excision of the thorn; that thorn of deep painful and crippling “failure” that had been inflicted upon me by an unthinking adult when I was a child. In those moments of prayer under the guidance of the Holy Spirit I intuitively knew that I had been grasped by God’s grace and that an embedded evil had been wrenched out of me.
I saw those original events that wounded me as a child for what they were. Only now, by God’s grace I could let them go with all of their bitter wrappings and be willing to forgive and release those who had hurt me. I know that I will need more time to consistently forgive when evil plays those events across my mind’s screen however I am no longer slave to the thorn. That thorn has been added by the Holy Spirit to the wreath upon the head of The Crucified.
I am relieved and I am freed from emotional pain and spiritual despair, and those are characteristics of my inner healing.
To Him be the glory~
