Peace like a river - part four

We drove through Georgia and then on to Mississippi. We began sensing that we were getting ready to see some interesting things from a first person point of view, verses through the eye of a TV camera. I found it quite interesting that I was feeling this way considering that over four years had passed following the Katrina hurricane. Certainly, most of the devastation would have been cleaned up by now.

We were still in the more northern portion of the state, so we had yet to venture into the more affected areas of this state. As we drove further south, David and I would take turns listening to our music selection. At one point, we weren't listening to anything other than ourselves. I began singing a song in my head over and over. I could only "play" one part of it in my mind. For the life of me, I couldn't remember the name of the song. If only I could remember the name of it, then I could find it on YouTube and play the actual song all the way through. The line kept replaying over and over in my mind "...ask and I'll give the nations to you...oh God, that's the cry of my heart..." It was if it became a prayer of sorts, which went from a little song rolling around in my head, to a major drum beat. I felt it rise up in me and give me great faith. I had no idea what the Lord was preparing to do, but this was the beginning of a God sized "download", which would become the prayer assignment of a lifetime.

I text messaged my friend and asked her if she was going to Disney's Magic Kingdom. She and her family drove down there to spend time together over the Thanksgiving Day Holiday. She replied back, "We were there Sat and Sun. At Epcot today. Praying 4 the nations". I text back telling her that I kept singing a portion of a song and then told her the few words I could recall. She responded, "Your glory will fill the earth, like water the sea!" It was like we had tapped into a code that only she and I understood. I recalled I had prayed that while flying over the top of the earth on our way to Korea this past spring. I was getting charged up in my spirit. I could sense that a kairos moment was upon us. Then, she called me and asked me if I knew the name of the song that I was telling her about. I said, "no". She put me out of my misery and gave me the name of the song, "You Said" by Hillsong. "That's it!", I exclaimed. After we hung up, I immediately went on a search for the YouTube version of "You Said".
