I was on a run in 1995 just after the Lord had brought me out of a severe depression experience and had been lent this cassette tape – Randy Rothwell – Worship The King (1990) – which included this song and was listening to it on my walkman (wow I feel old saying this)…
Anyway, as I was running along suddenly this song (#12 on the album) came on – The Earth Shall Be Filled – and the Holy Spirit gave me a knowing – just something you absolutely know – that everyone on earth at one point in time before Jesus came back would be saved and I had the strong sense that it was a ‘now’ word that I really needed to believe…
When it happened after the amazement and awe of it lifted I started thinking if I shared this with anyone (I was 24 years old at the time) that they would think I was crazy – especially after the severe depression experience I’d just been through (where I thought I’d lost my salvation) – so I struggled with it…
I sat on it, I believed it on the inside…
And over time the Lord brought it back to me in many different ways so I started to share it…
It is still just as strong with me today except now the Lord has given me more of the picture, not the full picture, but enough to know that He is serious to complete this – for it is His Word…
The song came back to me today as I was singing another song which the Lord has given me recently and I felt to share it…
