In the background while I type this post is smooth soothing sounds of the song healer sung by Mike Guglielmucci. Mike said to have written this song while facing a battle with cancer. The truth came to known that Mike's cancer was one of his own making. While his body was not being eaten away, his soul was. Mike was losing a battle to pornography and sexual addictions.
Our world and our culture find it easier to accept and believe that Mike was crying out from the a physical ailment. Had Mike come out and said that this song was birthed out his desperate need for God to rescue him from his life of addictions, do we listen the same? If from the beginning he confessed his jacked up soul and that he needed God to bring healing, do we even make a big deal of it? Or maybe we just teat him like another fallen man of God that we toss by the waste side.
While in no way to I condone his actions and the lies that followed. What I do believe is that this song was birthed out of a man's incredible need and desire for God to heal him. Sexual addictions are real and tremendous diseases that affect so many. It is a disease that is kept hidden and secret, but a disease nonetheless. It is something that as men, as people, as an over sexed culture we need healing.
"I believe you're my healer." No matter your disease heart attack or heart failure, demonic attack or moral failure. He still heals...
