Selena Gomez, Disney channel star of Wizards of Waverly Place, has come out of nowhere with a song that addresses some of the key issues in what true Spirit-inspired sanctification looks and feels like. The song is called “Naturally”. “It’s intuitive”, she sings, “you don’t have to try”.

Note especially the pregnant use of the category of “breath” and the reference to Eastern Orthodox theology (“your energy”). Also, the term “baby” means “Holy Spirit”.

It comes naturally, it comes naturally

You follow what you feel inside
It’s intuitive, you don’t have to try
It comes naturally, mmmm it comes naturally

And it takes my breath away
What you do, so naturally

You are the thunder and I am the lightning…
And to me it’s exciting
When you know it’s meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you’re with me, baby

You have a way of moving me
A force of nature, your energy
It comes naturally
It comes naturally

And it takes my breath away (Everytime)
What you do, so naturally

   Unfortunately, my personal experience on the sanctification road has been a lot closer to Paul's in Romans 7 than to that of Selena Gomez.
