Driving Toward the Dream of Hope Beyond Hope, Part 4


My second day of recording was an awesome one! I started with He is My Victory and the power of God fell in such a major way as I was singing.  Once Joshua got all the takes that he needed for that song he made a point of saying, “Wow! I could really feel the power of God pretty strong over here as you were singing that. Nice work.”  

“Thanks! I can feel it so strong I’m actually trembling. Apparently the prayer warriors back home are really on the ball today,” I grinned.

That was followed by four more songs that went very well, and later that evening as I was relaxing, I caught a fresh revelation about the power of prayer. I came to realize that God has given His people an amazing gift with the gift of prayer. Unfortunately, we often don’t see prayer as a gift, but rather, as a task. When we realize the gift we have been given, we also begin to understand that we have the authority to partner with God to change our circumstances or the circumstances of others, the authority to protect people, the authority to empower people for God’s Kingdom work, and that’s just for starters. We don’t “have to” pray, we “get to.” That being said, He’s given us this gift, this spiritual tool, whereby we get to participate in what God is up to. It could be building up, it could be tearing down a stronghold, it could be overthrowing the enemy, it could be pulling down darkness, it could be restoring or repairing. It’s multifaceted in nature. And really, it’s quite the honor.

One more day of recording to go and one song left to sing. Then there are a couple of songs to which I wanted to add piano, so my final day would be busy…and probably a bit emotional as the dream of Hope Beyond Hope moves into the next level of God’s plan.
