13 years ago my Kingdom view was altered as I heard this song for the first time. At One Day @
Shelby Farms, tens of thousands of students gathered on a field to worship and
seek the Lord. I was one of those
thousands and the Lord found me there waiting and willing to hear from
Him. As the Passion Band began this
song, I worshipped the Almighty God. As
they began to teach it to us in Swahili, I saw a Kingdom that reached further
than US soil. I saw a global mission that
God had called each of His disciples to fulfill. I heard the name of Jesus being praised in a
language other than English, and I was moved.
Shortly after this encounter, Louie Giglio began speaking of a people group
who was meeting secretly in Southeast Asia and was listening to the conference
from across the globe. He mentioned that
he believed some were being called to go to this area to bring the Good News of
Jesus Christ to a lost population. As my
heart was beating faster than I had ever felt, a friend of mine touched me on
the shoulder and asked if I was one of the ones who Louie was referring
to. I sobbed as God confirmed in me that
I would go to the ends of the Earth to tell of His saving grace. Now 13 years later, we sang this song in
church this morning and God still uses it to remind me of His global
Kingdom. God is not an American
God. He desires all nations to come to
Him. And He desires His followers to be
willing to follow Him…even to Asia.
