For a week now, you have delighted in food. Did you deprive yourself of anything? Did you experience hunger or lack? Do you feel like you have been white-knuckling your way to freedom from extra weight and working on being healthy? Have you paid attention to calories, fiber, or how many grams of protein you have had? Have you tracked your water intake to ensure you get enough? Have you paid attention to the man-made path to health?

While you were running and listening to the song “I Thank God” where it says, “Hell lost another one, I am free,” you began thinking about the woman you introduced to Me last night after the church service who had just one month ago contemplated suicide. You’re wondering if simply by merits of having accepted the gift We made of salvation through Jesus and the honor of being the temple of Holy Spirit who is working in and leading you… if all men can truly be free.

Turn the video off and sit with Me a moment. Your mind just began echoing a message you heard a few days ago: “When God speaks, if it will bless you, it will bless others.”

Now you’re listening to this current message a third time to hear what you clearly heard from Me the first time: “It’s time. Release it. What I’m bringing into the house, if it’s not released from the house, it will die in the house.”

At your appointment last week, the idea of nursing babies came up. Do you remember why?

Not exactly. I think it was something about a supplement that nursing mothers take to help with their milk supply.

What came to mind?

A couple years ago, shortly after I was healed, I had a dream that You asked me if I was willing to…

I woke up this morning to the oddly familiar sensation of milk letting down like when your baby is crying and it’s time to feed them. The feeling was so real that I felt my chest to make sure it was not full of milk…

Are you willing to nurse a baby?

NO! Oh, LORD, I hope You are not asking me if I’m ACTUALLY willing to foster a baby…

What did your mom suggest about Bible study?

She suggested that I start the night out by clearly stating my purpose or what I’m planning to discuss for the night so that people aren’t left to guess or be confused about my main point because I tend to cover a lot without a clear point. I wasn’t aware…

You woke up with a song in your heart. What were the lines you were singing?

Purify my heart, let me be as gold
and precious silver...
Refiner’s fire, my heart's one desire 
is to be Holy, set apart for you, LORD. 
I choose to be holy,
set apart for You, my Master,
ready to do Your will.

Do you know what a refiner's fire means?
