Somewhere in the middle of my 28 year battle with chemical dependency, while sober, I had a very powerful vision that is etched into my memory.
There is a little boy clothed in torn and tattered rags sitting in a dark and damp dungeon shivering with cold, hungry and alone. Tears stream down his face and he is terrified and defeated. He is imprisoned in heavy chains around his arms and ankles and held tightly to the dungeon wall.
The little boy has been there for many years and he is about to give up and die.
Along one wall of the dark dungeon is a 12 foot steel door, encrusted with rust and slime. One day in the middle of the night, the boy feels his heart jump, as he hears a knock on the door, but he is too afraid to answer.
Many months go by and then the boy hears the knock again for the second time. He does not answer and then in the boy’s mind, he sees the hand that has been knocking and there is blood running down the knuckles of the hand, but still the boy cannot speak. The boy has become used to the dungeon and is afraid to leave. There is a dark evil voice telling him not to open the door. He is paralyzed with fear.
The boy’s situation continues to deteriorate and after several more years of torture, pain and terror, the knock on the door comes again for the third time. The boy is now only moments away from death and his spirit is very weak. Again, he is consumed with terror and pain.
When the boy hears the third knock, he gathers every last bit of his strength and shouts out at the top of his lungs, “Yes Lord Jesus, please come in and save me!”
