Angel in a Song

Sunday, December 23, 2007
I was just cooking shrimp in butter and herbs in Dorm 1's kitchen when Erin walked in and told me about a phenomenal phenomena. Uh-huh! I hate using same words in one sentence but I tell you this is just telling it as it should be told! (Shwucks! I did it again!). Anyway, Erin told me bout a song that Jason Upton recorded with his band during a conference. After the recording was made and the concert ended, a little boy came up to him and told him that he saw an angel standing next to Jason and the drummer. Jason smiled and thanked him politely and (like a typical macho man) thought nothing of it. I bet you if it was a woman worship leader she would have gone into a time of prayer and praise believing that a miracle has taken place! Well, later as the band was listening to the recording they heard a man's voice coming through Jason's mic, harmonising with the song and music. It was an other-worldly voice, of a quality that would cause shivers to travel down your spine and you wil experience a kind of fear that comes because you know you are hearing something supernatural.
I listened with some sceptism but I was so interested to hear it. Erin played it for me on our VCD downstairs and my heart stopped when I heard not just the angel's voice but the context of the song. The song is entitled "Fly" where God was exhorting HIs people to move out of the places we have been caught in fear and into new atmospheres. God has been speaking to me about new seasons in my life and has been gently breaking my spirit to receive and walk into His new gift of altered seasons. The song was apt not only for my life, but for yours too. When in fear, walk out. Walk in faith in the Lord's character and integrity. Walk in honest evaluation of your heart and then run as He runs with you in your pursuit of holy things and The Holy One.
