Until yesterday when i went to the Unity church there was something missing in my recovery i wasnt aware of. Spiritual healing, healing the wounds of yesterday that I recieved at church.
When I went through all the bs with the church telling me to destroy my rockinroll collection(a very expensive one with many of The Beatles albums which would be worth something today and many others), and being prayed over to cast out the devils of rockinroll and recieving Bob Larsen literature and how to be freed up from satanic music, I didnt realize how wounded I had become.
Its been 7 years sense Ive been in church or no 6 actually, you get to the point to where you say 'well its just babyish to stay angry at the church this long and I need to move on and get over this." But sometimes even if your in counseling and whatever, you still need spiritual healing.
Its like you go on but maybe your just hiding and covering up your wounds putting a bandaid over it I suppose.
Yesterday at The Unity church they sang 2 Beatles songs, one of them was Let It Be, we sang it as a congregational hymn song, and I felt myself break down and weep and cry.It was like God heard me and told me he knew I had wounds from the past is that corny insane?I recieved some healing, like God was telling me I wasnt of the devil, rockinroll isnt Satanic, you know it was spiritual, and also a letting go of my wounds I dont know if that makes sense or not. Maybe it sounds nuts.But I told the woman who sang the singing material that i appreciated her and told her just a little about me having bad religious experiences in the past with churches shaming me me about satan and rockinroll music she said that was sad. She also said she was crazy about The Beatles and planned on putting more and more Beatles tunes into our congregational singing. I thought that was great, it made me feel at home for once.
But the issue here is healing, outside of just getting past your Pentecostal days and recovery in counseling do you feel like you've recieved some spiritual healing from all this as well?
