God Can Work Through A Beatles Song

Yes, God can work through a Beatles song.  The song "Blackbird" is near and dear to me.

Let me tell you that anyone that wants to pressure you into an box and make you explain your testimony in a few moments, needs to slow down a bit.  Many of us claimed Jesus as savior long ago, in unconventional churches and in unconventional ways.  We didn't have altar calls and cards to sign or even personal commitments to Christ.  Our Lord works on our hearts the way He wishes and when He wishes.


It is such a glorious thing to be free in Jesus.  Once you feel shackles falling from your ankles (and it keeps on going until you are with Him), you look back and your testimony is so rich and deep.  The Holy Spirit loves to bring to your mind all of your life--some good, some bad and some ugly.  But the Comforter shows you that all the way back He was teaching you and bringing you to the point of being enabled to handle His glory.  No one can handle that Glory until He prepares you to.

How about sitting in Las Vegas at The Beatles Love Show, Cirque du Soleil and hearing "Blackbird" and start weeping for unknown reasons?

I was sitting all alone, as I took a cab to see this show.  Back in the day, I traveled to Las Vegas a few times, as I thought I would escape in some ways into a weekend with the gals and enjoy myself.  Yes, God worked in those days of my past.  He loves us so.  And He draws us to Himself.  I now thank Him for following my all over the place, some places I am not very proud to share,  to teach and help me to see the meaningless of life as most know it.  Glamour, money, cocktails, Friday nights and being "seen"---These things are so much more clear to me now, but you have to wade through the world to see the pearls of wisdom, the pearls of peace, the pearls of the Joy Of The Lord, which cannot be found in work, people, shallow talk or situational happiness.  These only provide shadows of what the Lord has in store for those who love Him.

Listen to the words of this song.  As I sat in this large audience, the song talked to me: "Take these broken wings and learn to fly, all your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise".  "Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these sunken eyes and learn to see, all your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free............."

You see, I was this lady who felt I had a big black spot on me.  I felt dirty and discarded. My self esteem had never been lower than it was just a couple of years prior to that.  I was starting to crawl out of a hole.   I had made some mistakes, but also bad things can happen to people.  Things that we never imagine could happen to us.  That can happen to you.  It changes your opinion about others who are divorced, addicted or stay in abusive relationships.  God allows you to be sifted so that you will love His creation: People.

Now, I am out of that pit and have been for years.  It is glorious.  I hear this song and it does not make me sad.  It sings to me!  I am free due to the Blood of Jesus.  I am healed.

My broken wings are mended.

My sunken eyes are bright and hopeful.

I still have to fly in the light of the cold, dark night.  We live here.  We are waiting for His return or to meet Him in death.  He is with us in the light of the cold, dark night.  What a gift, His love and mercy--He brings us to repentance so that we can receive that mercy.

Let this song speak to you of letting Him heal you from your sin.  He sings over your head.

Zephaniah 3:17  "The Lord your God is with you, the mighty Warrior who saves.  He will take great delight in you.  In His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing".  Even singing "Blackbird".
